  • GEMEINDERAT Bericht Und Antrag
    GEMEINDERAT Bericht und Antrag Nr. 1603 vom 7. September 2017 an Einwohnerrat von Horw betreffend Planungsbericht Tourismusentwicklung Sehr geehrter Herr Einwohnerratspräsident Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren Einwohnerräte 1 Ausgangslage Anlässlich der Totalrevision der Ortsplanung in den Jahren 2006 – 2010 wurde die "Kurzone A Winkel" aufgehoben und durch die "Kernzone Dorf und Winkel", überlagert mit einer Bebau- ungsplanpflicht, ersetzt. Die neue "Sonderbauzone Tourismus" wurde anstelle der "Kurzone B Halbinsel" eingeführt. Eine spezifische Überprüfung der einzelnen Areale in der "Sonderbauzo- ne Tourismus" betreffend aktueller und künftiger Nutzung erfolgte dabei noch nicht abschlies- send. Der Gemeinderat hat dazu dem Einwohnerrat die Erarbeitung eines Tourismuskonzeptes in Aussicht gestellt. Zwecks Analyse und Potenzialabschätzung wurde bereits während der laufenden Totalrevision der Ortsplanung die Hochschule Luzern, Institut für Tourismusentwicklung ITW, beauftragt, ent- sprechende Untersuchungen anzustellen. Der daraus resultierende Bericht wurde Ihnen mit Schreiben vom 12. Mai 2010 zur Kenntnisnahme zugestellt. Eine Beratung durch den Einwoh- nerrat ist allerdings bis heute nicht erfolgt und macht aus Sicht des Gemeinderates auch wenig Sinn, weil die Unterlagen nicht mehr in allen Punkten aktuell sind. 2 Touristische Positionierung Der Gemeinderat teilt die Einschätzung des Berichtes des Instituts für Tourismusentwicklung, dass die Gemeinde Horw für die Freizeit und die Naherholung der gesamten Stadtregion Lu- zern eine bedeutende

  • The Cave Bears (Ursidae, Mammalia) from Steigelfadbalm Near Vitznau (Canton of Lucerne, Switzerland)

Accepted: 1 December 2017. Available online: 29 December 2017. FRISCHAUF C., NIELSEN E., RABEDER G. 2017. The cave bears (Ursidae, Mammalia) from Steigelfadbalm near Vitznau (Canton of Lucerne, Switzerland). Acta zool. cracov., 60(2): 35-57. Abstract. The fossil vertebrate remains from the “Steigelfadbalm” cave near Vitznau by Lake Lucerne, which are stored in the Cantonal Archaeological Survey of Lucerne, were subject to a scientific analysis at the Institute for Palaeontology at the University of Vienna. The fossils were recovered during excavations which took place between 1913 and 1937, but had not yet been scientifically analysed. The studies about the morphology and dimen- sions of the teeth and metapodial bones clarified the systematic position of the cave bears. All other remains originate from wild and domestic animals from the Holocene. The basal fossiliferous layers are mixed with younger sediments by bioturbation. One focus of the investigation was the critical evaluation of the bone fragments, including a human manu- brium, interpreted by the excavator as Palaeolithic tools. Key words: Alpine bear cave, Ursus ingressus, Middle Wurmian, morphotypes, locomo- tion versus dietary habits, extinction pattern, “bone-tools”. * Christine FRISCHAUF, Gernot RABEDER, Institute of Palaeontology, University Vienna, Geozentrum, UZA II, Althanstraße 14, A1090 Wien, Austria.
