    FKP Scorpio Konzertproduktionen GmbH Große Elbstr. 277 a ∙ 22767 Hamburg Tel. (040) 853 88 888 ∙ www.fkpscorpio.com PRESSEMITTEILUNG 27.09.2013 Zurück Zuhause Festival mit Thees Uhlmann in Hemmoor Nach dem großen Erfolg des Willkommen Zuhause Festivals 2012 im letzten Jahr findet nun die zweite Auflage der ersten Festivalkonferenz Deutschlands statt. Mit einem neuen Namen wird das Zurück Zuhause Festival das Konzept von 2012 nicht nur um eine Stadt und einen Gastgeber erweitern, sondern auch zu einem einzigartigen crossmedialen und interaktiven Event ausgebaut. Weihnachten ist das Fest der Liebe. Familien kommen zusammen, überhäufen sich mit Geschenken, schlemmen was das Zeug hält - Tage voll Glückseligkeit und Harmonie. Aber, Hand aufs Herz, wir wissen alle wie es ist. Noch bevor der erste Lamettastreifen den Nadelbaum umhüllt, droht ein dermaßener Lagerkoller, dass man schon vor der Bescherung fluchtartig das Weite suchen könnte. Wie gut, dass zwischen den Jahren das Zurück Zuhause Festival in vier deutschen Städten stattfindet, mit dem man dem scheinheiligen Weihnachtsidyll entfliehen kann. Denn vier deutsche Top-Künstler werden am 27.12.2013 in ihren Geburtsorten zum Gastgeber und bringen gemeinsam mit Jugendfreunden und großen Idolen ein Festival-starkes Line-Up auf die Bühnen. In Bielefeld lädt Casper zum Weihnachtssingen, Cro feiert das Fest der Liebe in Schwäbisch-Gmünd, Thees Uhlmann läutete den dritten Weihnachtsfeiertag im niedersächsischen Hemmoor ein und Miss Platnum sorgt in Berlin für die richtigen Töne zum Jahresausklang. Jüngst veröffentlichte Uhlmann seine neue Platte, und war schon das Solo-Debüt ein Erfolg, ist „#2“ nach Erscheinen sogar auf Platz zwei in den Charts eingestiegen. Zurecht: Der Mann ist noch altersweiser, noch besser, noch klarer geworden als auf seinem Vorgänger.

Michael J. Zeps S.J. Marquette University, [email protected] Preface While doing research in Vienna for my dissertation on relations between Church and State in Austria between the wars I became intrigued by the outward appearance of the public housing projects put up by Red Vienna at the same time. They seemed to have a martial cast to them not at all restricted to the famous Karl-Marx-Hof so, against advice that I would find nothing, I decided to see what could be found in the archives of the Stadtbauamt to tie the architecture of the program to the civil war of 1934 when the structures became the principal focus of conflict. I found no direct tie anywhere in the documents but uncovered some circumstantial evidence that might be explored in the future. One reason for publishing these notes is to save researchers from the same dead end I ran into. This is not to say no evidence was ever present because there are many missing documents in the sequence which might turn up in the future—there is more than one complaint to be found about staff members taking documents and not returning them—and the socialists who controlled the records had an interest in denying any connection both before and after the civil war. Certain kinds of records are simply not there including assessments of personnel which are in the files of the Magistratsdirektion not accessible to the public and minutes of most meetings within the various Magistrats Abteilungen connected with the program.

    CENTER FOR AUSTRIAN STUDIES AUSTRIAN STUDIES NEWSLETTER Vol. 16, No. 1 Spring 2004 Barbara Krauss-Christensen retires by Daniel Pinkerton For 26 years—through changes of directors, location, financing, and scholarly mission—the one constant at the Center for Austrian Stud- ies has been Barbara Krauss-Christensen, our executive secretary. On July 1, 2004, she will retire, marking the end of an era, and changing CAS forever. Krauss-Christensen arrived at the Center in the fall of 1978, one year after its founding, an M.A. in German in hand. “Barbara was the rock upon which the Center was founded,” William Wright, the Cen- ter’s founding director, asserted. “She had little to work with in those lean, early days, but she never faltered or fretted. She was always there, ready to see to the welfare and mission of the Center. In later years, after prosperity brought many more people into the office, it would be easy to forget how Barbara had carried the load quite alone for many years.” Over the years, Krauss-Christensen learned more than any direc- tor or visitor possibly could about the ins and outs of university and government paperwork—visas, reimbursement forms, budgeting, and the like. “While directors have come and gone, it has been Barbara who has held the Center together and has maintained an institutional memory better and more reliably than any computer,” according to former CAS interim director Gerhard Weiss. “If it had not been for the reassurance of Barbara’s presence, I never would have accepted the Center’s interim directorship.” “Her fierce loyalty to the Center and its mission, and her willingness to put in long hours were major factors in the Center’s success,” for- mer director David Good maintains.

  • Roland Rainer. (Un)Disputed a New Look at the Work (1936–1963) Sammlungslab #3
    Roland Rainer. (Un)Disputed A New Look at the Work (1936–1963) SammlungsLab #3 Exhibition: 20.10 – 10.12.2018, Gallery Press conference: Fri 19.10, 11:00 Opening: Fri 19.10, 19:00 At least since the study commissioned by the City of Vienna of person-related street signs, where Roland-Rainer-Platz is categorised as "a case requiring discussion", issues have arisen around the gaps the architect himself left in his biography during the Nazi period. Roland Rainer (1910–2004) numbers among the most notable Austrian architects of the 20th century. His buildings are key to the identity of modern democratic Austria. Rainer's housing estate concept for the "structured and dispersed city" is still considered the most important model of space-saving, low-level housing. During the Nazi period, Rainer acquired his knowledge of fundamental urban research at the Deutsche Akademie für Städtebau, Reichs- und Landesplanung, which served him after 1945 as the basis for a series of theoretical publications. The continuity of the concepts in Rainer's work and his professional career suggest his flexibility in adapting to different political systems. He left only a rudimentary commentary on the Nazi years in his own biographical accounts, and many questions open. The acquisition of Roland Rainer's estate by the Az W in 2015 has provided an opportunity to re-examine his oeuvre and his biography. The focus is on the period from 1936, when Rainer left for Berlin, until 1963, the year he resigned his position with the City of Vienna planning department. In the third edition of the SammlungsLab series of exhibitions, in cooperation with the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, the first findings of extensive research in archives in Austria and abroad are presented and discussed in an accompanying international symposium.

  • Baroque Architecture in the Former Habsburg Residences of Graz and Innsbruck
    EMBODIMENTS OF POWER? Baroque Architecture in the Former Habsburg Residences of Graz and Innsbruck Mark Hengerer Introduction Having overcome the political, religious, and economic crisis of the Thirty Years' War, princes in central Europe started to reconstruct their palaces and build towns as monuments of power. Baroque residences such as Karlsruhe combine the princely palace with the city, and even the territory, and were considered para­ digms of rule in the age of absolutism.' In Austrian Vienna, both the nobility and the imperial family undertook reshaping the city as a baroque residence only after the second Ottoman siege in 1683. Despite the Reichsstif of Emperor Karl VI, the baroque parts of the Viennese Hofburg and the baroque summer residence of Sch6nbrunn were executed as the style itself was on the wane, and were still incomplete in the Enlightenment period.2 It may be stated, then, that the com­ plex symbolic setting of baroque Viennese architecture reveals the complex power relations between the House of Habsburg and the nobility, who together formed a SOft of "diarchy," so that the Habsburgs did not exercise absolutist rule. 3 Ad­ ditionally, it cannot be overlooked that the lower nobility and burghers, though hardly politically influential, imitated the new style, which was of course by no means protected by any sort of copyright.4 For all these reasons, reading baroque cities as embodiments of powers is prob­ lematic. Such a project is faced with a phenomenon situated between complex actual power relations and a more or less learned discourse on princely power and 10 architecture (which was part of the art realm as well), and princes, noblemen, and citizens inspired to build in the baroque style.
