A weekend at a beer festival with friends, a romantic city break, a family jaunt in the mountains or a relaxation retreat opportunities are endless. Whilst we have an understanding that everyone has a budget, it Iceland is common that some travellers sacrifice convenience for cost. Although cheaper when making a reservation, that three hour shared coach journey isn’t as appealing when you arrive. This is something that Fred.\ Holidays considers carefully when crafting holiday experiences. After all, value is more important than price. Tailor-made Travel Specialists At Fred.\ Holidays we create holiday experiences that are tailored to your requirements. Although our suggested breaks and holidays featured within this brochure have been designed to inspire travellers, all of our departures can be moulded to your exact requirements.

After endless death and hardship at the hands of the Thirty Years' War and the bubonic plague, the surviving population of Oberammergau vowed that they would perform the "play of the suffering, death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ" every ten years if they were spared from extinction. Jesus enters Jerusalem © Passion Play Oberammergau 2020 Jesus enters Jerusalem © Passion Play Oberammergau At Whitsun in 1634, they kept their promise for the first time and so began the history of the Oberammergau Passion Play which demonstrates the suffering, death and resurrection of Christ. As early as the middle of the 18th-century, spectators came to Oberammergau from all over Germany, attracted by the great power and mystique of the play. The villagers have kept their vow ever since and their faith and commitment has been recognised and admired around the world and is regarded as one of the most important passion plays. The village at the edge of the Bavarian Alps expects approximately 450,000 visitors for the passion play, over half of which will be international guests, during the 102 planned performances in 2020.

Architectural transformations on the Market Square in Krakow A systematic visual catalogue Jean-Yves BLAISE Iwona DUDEK Different faces of one ‘idea’ Section three, presents a selection of analogous examples (European public use and commercial buildings) so as to help the reader weigh to which extent the layout of Krakow’s marketplace, as well as its architectures, can be related to other sites. Market Square in Krakow is paradoxically at the same time a typical example of medieval marketplace and a unique site. But the frontline between what is common and what is unique can be seen as “somewhat fuzzy”. Among these examples readers should observe a number of unexpected similarities, as well as sharp contrasts in terms of form, usage and layout of buildings.

Pendahuluan Kesadaran akan pentingnya pengelolaan dan pelestarian warisan kota kini sudah semakin tinggi. Bahkan, banyak di antara masyarakat dan pemerhati warisan kota dunia berkeyakinan bahwa kota bukan hanya merupakan warisan, tetapi lebih-lebih adalah pusaka bagi suatu bangsa. Hal ini berarti keberadaan kota dengan berbagai potensi yang dimiliki mempunyai kekuatan yang dapat dimanfaatkan untuk membantu dan melindungi bangsa dalam menapaki jalan ke masa depan. Sebagai pusaka, warisan kota itu harus tetap dijaga agar kekuatannya tidak hilang dan dapat diwariskan kepada generasi penerus tanpa berkurang nilainya. Warisan kota dunia ( World Urban Heritage) adalah sebuah kota yang telah dinominasikan untuk program Warisan Dunia internasional yang dikelola dan ditetapkan UNESCO World Heritage Committee untuk dijadikan suatu warisan kota dunia. Artinya keberadaan kota tersebut dengan segala potensi, baik alam, bangunan, maupun kebudayaan akan menjadi warisan dunia. Sehingga keberadaan sebuah kota tersebut haruslah dikelola dengan baik. Negara Jerman merupakan salah satu negara maju yang memiliki warisan kota dunia. Berbagai kota di negara tersebut ditetapkan oleh UNESCO sebagai warisan kota dunia.

The Bremen town hall is an ideal image of this building type that is so important for European and Western history. It is almost a textbook example of the medieval and early modern town hall. The building dates from 1405 to 1410 and has not been fundamentally altered since. The only exception is that it was carefully continued between 1595 and 1614, when it acquired an extended figurative façade decoration based on the forms of the Weser Renaissance that were current at the time. This underlined the Hanseatic city’s claims to immediacy as a free imperial city. The Distributors figurative decoration is almost encyclopaedic in its scope, showing the period’s striving for humanistic education in the form of iconog- Brockhaus Commission raphy with a wide-ranging political and religious spectrum of alle- Kreidlerstraße 9 gorical themes.
