  • The Eagle's Nest Is Located in Berchtesgaden
    media information… The Eagle’s Nest (Kehlsteinhaus 1,834m) The so-called Eagle’s Nest teahouse (Kehlsteinhaus) was offered to Adolf Hitler on the occasion of his 50th birthday with the aim of using it for representation purposes for official guests. The challenging construction of the Eagle’s Nest, including the access road was completed in some 13 months’ time. The road leading up to the Eagle’s Nest upper bus terminal area is Germany’s highest and is considered a unique feat of engineering. The brass-line elevator that gives access to the summit is also a distinctive feature of this world-famous attraction. Today the Eagle’s Nest is open to the public and can be seen in its original form. Thanks to its many visitors, proceeds from this sightsseing attraction are used for charitable purposes. Location: The Eagle's Nest is located in Berchtesgaden. Special mountain buses depart every 25 min from Obersalzberg (Kehlsteinbusabfahrt). The journey takes about a quarter of an hour each way. From the parking area at the top, visitors walk 124m (406ft) through a tunnel to the original elevator. The lift transports up to 46 passengers at a time up into the Eagle's Nest building. Local Events and cultural highlights: Road and weather conditions permitting, the building and its road access are open from around mid-May through October. On clear days, visitors to the Eagle’s Nest are rewarded with spectacular views over the Berchtesgaden area, Lake Königssee and Salzburg, as well as with a grandiose mountain panorama of the majestic Berchtesgaden Alps.

  • A Historical Retrospect of the Nazi Party and Its Leaders," (Set No, I, Set of Fourty)
    A historical retrospect of the Nazi Party and its leaders," (Set No, I, set of fourty) 1. November 9th 1923, the Nazi Party with Hitler as its leader felt strong enough to kick the Bavarian G-overnement out of its sad- dle. The marching Nazis when reaching the Odeonsplatz in Munich, were odered to stop. After ignoring the order tostop, they were fired upon and a total of 16 men were killed by machinegun fire. The Nazi Party thereafter was declared as illegal and was forbidden by law. Hitler himself, as the head and leader of the party was cobvicted to spend five years in jail. 2. The"BLOODFLAG", under which the first 16 Nazi victims were killed on November 9th 1923 on the Odeonsplatz at Munich* Later on this flag only was shown to the public when political events of im- portant nature took place. More or less, this flag was considered as a symbol of the party. 3. Hitler in his cell during imprisonment 1924 at Landsberg/Lech The party which had been forbidden, went underground so it couldn't be controlled by governement officials. Fin^llythe Bavarian governe- ment decided to set Hitler free because of J~oo much dangerous un- derground activities of the illegal Nazi party. 4. Adolf Hitler after becoming chancellor of the state, visiting the prison cell at Landsberg/Lech, where he spent nearly ten months. 5. Hitler, holding a speech in Munich on the stairs of the fa- mous " FELDHERRNHALLE ", eleven years after the first 16 members of his party were killed.

  • Sabrina Hernandez Thesis Adviso
    Bavaria: More than Just Oktoberfest Bayern: Mehr als nur Oktoberfest An Honors Thesis (HONR 499) by Sabrina Hernandez Thesis Advisor Dr. Laura Seset Ball State University Muncie, IN November 2017 Expected Date of Graduation December 2017 2 Abstract In this paper I discuss several aspects of Munich and Bavaria. The city is a central hub for the region that has its own unique history, language, and cultural aspects. The history of the city' s founding is quite interesting and also has ties to the history of the German nation. The language spoken in Bavaria is specific to the region and there are several colloquialisms that are only used in Germany's southernmost region. The location of the city is also an important topic discussed in the paper as well. Acknowledgments I would like to thank Dr. Laura Seset for advising me throughout this process. Her help and support throughout the process was more than I could have asked for in a thesis advisor. Her encouragement to go on this trip was something that drew me to these unique experiences that I would not have had, had I not decided to go on this trip. I would also like to thank her for helping me improve my German writing abilities, which was incredibly helpful during my time abroad. Vielen Dank Frau Seset, ohne Ihnen hatte ich dass nicht geschaft! I would also like to thank my parents for encouraging me throughout all four years here at Ball State and for providing me with the opportunity to study abroad. Without their support and encouragement this would have been an impossible task.

  • The Life-Span of a Small High Mountain Lake, the Vordere Blaue Gumpe in the Bavarian Alps
    Sediment Dynamics and the Hydromorphology of Fluvial Systems (Proceedings of a symposium held in 72 Dundee, UK, July 2006). IAHS Publ. 306, 2006. The life-span of a small high mountain lake, the Vordere Blaue Gumpe in the Bavarian Alps DAVID MORCHE1, CHRISTIAN KATTERFELD2, SEBASTIAN FUCHS1 & KARL-HEINZ SCHMIDT1 1 Department of Geography, Martin-Luther-University Halle-Wittenberg, D-06099 Halle, Germany [email protected] 2 Department of Geography, University of Basel, Klingelbergstrasse 27, CH-4056 Basel, Switzerland Abstract The Reintal valley in the Wetterstein Mountains in Upper Bavaria has been dammed by large rockslide deposits in some localities. Behind one of the dams a small lake, the Vordere Blaue Gumpe, was still in existence until 23 August 2005. The lake was a natural sediment sink, decoupling an area of about 1.6 km2 from fluvial sediment export out of the sediment cascade of the Reintal valley. The bergsturz event occurred about 200 years ago. It was dated by evaluating historical maps, paintings, photographs and sketches. Present research is focused on multi-temporal changes of the alluvial deposits of the delta by analysis of aerial photos and geodetic surveying. Volume loss of the lake is closely related to bed load input during extreme events and shows the geomorphic coupling of hillslope and channel systems. From regression analyses of the annual volumetric change of the lake volume, the life-expectancy of the lake was estimated to be about 15 years, before an extreme high magnitude event in August 2005 filled the lake completely with sediment. Now, after the filling of the lake, with the coupling of the catchment area of the Vordere Blaue Gumpe to downstream fluvial sediment export, higher solid load transport is expected in the lower reaches with possible negative effects on infrastructure.

GUSTAFSON has been approved for the School of Interdisciplinary Arts and the College of Fine Arts _______________________________________________ Dora Wilson Professor of Music _______________________________________________ Charles A. McWeeny Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 ABSTRACT GUSTAFSON, ADAM R., Ph.D., June 2011, Interdisciplinary Arts The Artistic Patronage of Albrecht V and the Creation of Catholic Identity in Sixteenth- Century Bavaria Director of Dissertation: Dora Wilson Drawing from a number of artistic media, this dissertation is an interdisciplinary approach for understanding how artworks created under the patronage of Albrecht V were used to shape Catholic identity in Bavaria during the establishment of confessional boundaries in late sixteenth-century Europe. This study presents a methodological framework for understanding early modern patronage in which the arts are necessarily viewed as interconnected, and patronage is understood as a complex and often contradictory process that involved all elements of society. First, this study examines the legacy of arts patronage that Albrecht V inherited from his Wittelsbach predecessors and developed during his reign, from 1550-1579. Albrecht V‟s patronage is then divided into three areas: northern princely humanism, traditional religion and sociological propaganda.

  • Erlangen: Results of the Intercultural Cities Index Date: September 2016 a Comparison Between 75 Cities1
    Erlangen: Results of the Intercultural Cities Index Date: September 2016 A comparison between 75 cities1 Introduction The Intercultural Cities is a Council of Europe flagship programme. It seeks to explore the potential of an intercultural approach to integration in communities with culturally diverse populations. The cities participating in the programme are reviewing their governance, policies, discourse and practices from an intercultural point of view. In the past, this review has taken the form of narrative reports and city profiles – a form which was rich in content and detail. However, narrative reports alone were relatively weak as tools to monitor and communicate progress. Thus, an “Intercultural City Index” has been designed as a benchmarking tool for the cities taking part in the programme as well as for future participants. As of today 75 cities have undergone their intercultural policies analysis using the Intercultural City Index: Amadora (Portugal), Arezzo (Italy), Barcelona (Spain), Beja (Portugal), Bergen (Norway), Bilbao (Spain), Botkyrka (Sweden), Bucharest (Romania), Campi Bisenzio (Italy), Cartagena (Spain), Casalecchio di Rena (Italy), Castellón (Spain), Coimbra (Portugal), Constanta (Romania), Copenhagen (Denmark), Donostia-San Sebastian 2 (Spain), Dortmund (Germany), Dublin (Ireland), Duisburg (Germany), Erlangen (Germany), Forli (Italy), Fucecchio (Italy), Fuenlabrada (Spain), Geneva (Switzerland), Genoa (Italy), Getxo (Spain), Haifa (Israel), Hamburg (Germany), Ioannina (Greece), Izhevsk (Udmart Republic, Russia),
