Dies war der Auslöser für die Studie die wir Ihnen hier vorstellen können: Wohnraumbe- darf im Allgäu 2030. In unserer Vision für das Allgäu heißt es: „Das Allgäu zeichnet sich als führende Region zum Leben und Arbeiten aus“ Dazu gehört insbesondere auch ein gutes Wohnangebot. Ein wichtiger Nebeneffekt der Studie ist auch, dass sie uns einmal mehr aufzeigt, wie gut und dynamisch sich das Allgäu in den letzten Jahren entwickelt hat. Die Einwohnerzahl ist seit 2012 um über 4% und die Zahl der sozialversicherungspflichtig Beschäftigten ist sogar um über 12% gestiegen. Dieses Wachstum macht aber auch immer stärker die große Herausforderung zwischen der Erhaltung unserer Natur und der zur Verfügung Stellung neuer Flächen für Wohnen und Gewerbe deutlich. Deshalb ist es wichtig, in Al- ternativen zu denken und sich für neue Ideen zu öffnen. Unser Ziel war es, erstmalig eine quantitative und qualitative Bedarfsformulierung zu erhalten und damit die sehr emotionale und von vielen persönlichen Einschätzungen ge- prägte Diskussion auf eine solide Zahlenbasis stellen.

  • Geometric Proportioning Strategies in Gothic Architectural Design Robert Bork*
    $UFKLWHFWXUDO Bork, R 2014 Dynamic Unfolding and the Conventions of Procedure: Geometric +LVWRULHV Proportioning Strategies in Gothic Architectural Design. Architectural Histories, 2(1): 14, pp. 1-20, DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5334/ah.bq RESEARCH ARTICLE Dynamic Unfolding and the Conventions of Procedure: Geometric Proportioning Strategies in Gothic Architectural Design Robert Bork* This essay explores the proportioning strategies used by Gothic architects. It argues that Gothic design practice involved conventions of procedure, governing the dynamic unfolding of successive geometrical steps. Because this procedure proves difficult to capture in words, and because it produces forms with a qualitatively different kind of architectural order than the more familiar conventions of classical design, which govern the proportions of the final building rather than the logic of the steps used in creating it, Gothic design practice has been widely misunderstood since the Renaissance. Although some authors in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries attempted to sympathetically explain Gothic geometry, much of this work has been dismissed as unreliable, especially in the influential work of Konrad Hecht. This essay seeks to put the study of Gothic proportion onto a new and firmer foundation, by using computer-aided design software to analyze the geometry of carefully measured buildings and original design drawings. Examples under consideration include the parish church towers of Ulm and Freiburg, and the cross sections of the cathedrals of Reims, Prague, and Clermont-Ferrand, and of the Cistercian church at Altenberg. Introduction of historic monuments to be studied with new rigor. It is Discussion of proportion has a curiously vexed status in finally becoming possible, therefore, to speak with reason- the literature on Gothic architecture.

  • From Charlemagne to Hitler: the Imperial Crown of the Holy Roman Empire and Its Symbolism
    From Charlemagne to Hitler: The Imperial Crown of the Holy Roman Empire and its Symbolism Dagmar Paulus (University College London) [email protected] 2 The fabled Imperial Crown of the Holy Roman Empire is a striking visual image of political power whose symbolism influenced political discourse in the German-speaking lands over centuries. Together with other artefacts such as the Holy Lance or the Imperial Orb and Sword, the crown was part of the so-called Imperial Regalia, a collection of sacred objects that connotated royal authority and which were used at the coronations of kings and emperors during the Middle Ages and beyond. But even after the end of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806, the crown remained a powerful political symbol. In Germany, it was seen as the very embodiment of the Reichsidee, the concept or notion of the German Empire, which shaped the political landscape of Germany right up to National Socialism. In this paper, I will first present the crown itself as well as the political and religious connotations it carries. I will then move on to demonstrate how its symbolism was appropriated during the Second German Empire from 1871 onwards, and later by the Nazis in the so-called Third Reich, in order to legitimise political authority. I The crown, as part of the Regalia, had a symbolic and representational function that can be difficult for us to imagine today. On the one hand, it stood of course for royal authority. During coronations, the Regalia marked and established the transfer of authority from one ruler to his successor, ensuring continuity amidst the change that took place.

  • Aachen Cathedral
    Aachen, Germany Marian Shrines Aachen Cathedral Aachen cathedral is the oldest cathedral of northern Europe. The oldest part, the octagon, beeing the palace chapel of Charles-the-Great was built about 790-800 AD in the Carolingian style. The church has been consecrated in honour of the Virgin Mary. Main attraction for pilgrims was the Miraculous Madonna “Our Lady Mary Emperor of Aachen” [6]. The statue now is positioned in the octagon right of the altar. In a private revelation of a soul in the region of Aachen end of the 20th Century, the following prayer was given together with a promise of Jesus. The prayer itself has the authorization of the past as well as the present Bishop of Aachen [10]: Ave Maria, Empress, Help of Christians pray for the Diocese consecrated you, especially for the bishop, all Priests and devotees and especially for a Christian Europe. Jesus' promise to the prayer "Ave Maria, Empress, Help of Christians!": "This prayer is precious. The more it is prayed, the more will shine my light on Aachen and Europe. This prayer is like a golden key that opens my and my mother’s heart and from there the rays of My grace and Her agency can come freely to you. The more and more this prayer is prayed, the more the darkness of Europe loses ground! And that because Aachen is and remains the intellectual point, from where I will renew the world in me. And by my mother, the help of the entire Christendom, yes indeed by the heavenly empress of the world! Pray this prayer and let it all pray as often as possible! World and Church need this prayer from Aachen, the key to the light! " The Aachen cathedral also is often called the “Imperial Cathedral” (in German: Kaiserdom).
