The Dutch revolted against the Spanish domination during the 1560s, leading to a protracted war of independence that led to a truce only in 1609.

  • Snippets of Wurttemberg History
    Kleinaspach Parish in Württemberg, Germany: Home of the Schmückle Family compiled by John S. Schmeeckle [email protected] revised June 2013 The Schmückle family came from Switzerland The Schmückle family appeared in the Toggenburg Valley in St. Gallen Canton, Switzerland in the early 15th century.1 Schmückle records (with variant spellings of the name) appear in over 30 towns and parishes in the Toggenburg Valley. 2 This map of present-day St. Gallen Canton, Switzerland, shows the Toggenburg Valley (with the Thur River) in pink. 1 Per the following Swiss website: http://www.zehnder- vescoli.ch/stammbaum/faminfo.php?info=Schmuckli*30&f1=&f2= 2 The website in footnote #1 cites research by Alfons Schmückle, whose article “Die Schmucki und Schmuckli im Toggenburg” was published in the Toggenburger Heimat-Jahrbuch (p. 122) in 1953. 1 This portion of a historical map of Switzerland3 shows St. Gallen canton in the upper left. Above St. Gallen (at the top edge) is “Schwabia,” which is the general area of Württemberg. Switzerland wasn’t directly affected by the 30 Years War (from 1618 to 1648). After the war, many Swiss families emigrated and re-settled in areas of Germany that had been depopulated by the war. This is presumably the origin of Martin Schmückle, the progenitor of the family in Kleinaspach parish, Württemberg, who arrived in 1650, shortly after the end of the war. 3 The entire map can be found at https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/de/Old_Swiss_Confederation.jpg 2 Kleinaspach parish, Württemberg In the 15th Century, Germany (including Württemberg) was part of the Holy Roman Empire, which included of hundreds of semi-independent little states and cities.

  • Local Romanesque Architecture in Germany and Its Fifteenth-Century Reinterpretation
    chapter 19 Translating the Past: Local Romanesque Architecture in Germany and Its Fifteenth-Century Reinterpretation Stephan Hoppe The early history of northern Renaissance architecture has long been pre- sented as being the inexorable occurrence of an almost viral dissemination of Italian Renaissance forms and motifs.1 For the last two decades, however, the interconnected and parallel histories of enfolding Renaissance humanism have produced new analytical models of reciprocal exchange and of an ac- tively creative reception of knowledge, ideas, and texts yet to be adopted more widely by art historical research.2 In what follows, the focus will be on a particular part of the history of early German Renaissance architecture, i.e. on the new engagement with the historical – and by then long out-of-date – world of Romanesque architectural style and its possible connections to emerging Renaissance historiography 1 Cf. Hitchcock H.-R., German Renaissance Architecture (Princeton, NJ: 1981). 2 Burke P., The Renaissance (Atlantic Highlands, NJ: 1987); Black R., “Humanism”, in Allmand C. (ed.), The New Cambridge Medieval History, c. 1415–c. 1500, vol. 7 (Cambridge: 1998) 243–277; Helmrath J., “Diffusion des Humanismus. Zur Einführung”, in Helmrath J. – Muhlack U. – Walther G. (eds.), Diffusion des Humanismus. Studien zur nationalen Geschichtsschreibung europäischer Humanisten (Göttingen: 2002) 9–34; Muhlack U., Renaissance und Humanismus (Berlin – Boston: 2017); Roeck B., Der Morgen der Welt. Die Geschichte der Renaissance (Munich: 2017). For more on the field of modern research in early German humanism, see note 98 below. The following works may serve as examples of the current art historical debate that seek a more nuanced understanding of the exchange processes between the Renaissance arts outside Italy: Belozerskaya M., Rethinking the Renaissance: Burgundian Arts across Europe (Cambridge: 2002); Smith J.C., The Northern Renaissance (London: 2004); Nußbaum N.

Hoher Markt 5 Kärntnerstrasse 16 Kärntnerstraße 12 5 After his son Ludwig joined the company, E. Bakalowits & Sons grew and became one of the foremost crystal chandelier manufacturers in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In 1892 Ludwig Bakalowits received the order to manufacture the chandeliers for the Neue Hofburg Palace in Vienna for Emperor Franz Joseph I and was appointed Imperial and Royal Purveyor to the Court. 6 1885 the company was exporting its products to America and Asia. In 1900, Bakalowits & Sons displayed their crystal chandeliers at the World Exposition in Paris. Other exhibitions in St. Petersburg, London, Geneva and Turin followed. 7 In 1955 Bakalowits was entrusted with the manufacture of new lighting fixtures for some of the Viennese buildings that had suffered damage during the Second World War. These included the Parliament, the State Opera House, the National Theatre, City Hall, St. Stephan’s Cathedral, and others. 8 Recognizing the increasing demand for luxury products in Asia and the Middle East in the 1960’s, Bakalowits extended its business to those regions through close cooperation with international architects and designers.

There is probably no class of buildings that engages the interest of so many different minds as the castle. To the architect, such strongholds as Conway, Warwick, Arundel, Lambeth, Blois, Caernavon, Kronborg, Windsor, Urbino, Berkeley, Amboise, Loches, etc., etc., are valuable studies. For example, Conway, half castle, half palace, contains Early Decorated architecture in Queen Eleanor's Oratory and fine lancet windows ; the donjon of Arundel dates from the days of King Alfred ; Warwick, one of the few mediaeval fortresses that
