  • Adam of Bremen on Slavic Religion
    Chapter 3 Adam of Bremen on Slavic Religion 1 Introduction: Adam of Bremen and His Work “A. minimus sanctae Bremensis ecclesiae canonicus”1 – in this humble manner, Adam of Bremen introduced himself on the pages of Gesta Hammaburgensis ecclesiae pontificum, yet his name did not sink into oblivion. We know it thanks to a chronicler, Helmold of Bosau,2 who had a very high opinion of the Master of Bremen’s work, and after nearly a century decided to follow it as a model. Scholarship has awarded Adam of Bremen not only with a significant place among 11th-c. writers, but also in the whole period of the Latin Middle Ages.3 The historiographic genre of his work, a history of a bishopric, was devel- oped on a larger scale only after the end of the famous conflict on investiture between the papacy and the empire. The very appearance of this trend in histo- riography was a result of an increase in institutional subjectivity of the particu- lar Church.4 In the case of the environment of the cathedral in Bremen, one can even say that this phenomenon could be observed at least half a century 1 Adam, [Praefatio]. This manner of humble servant refers to St. Paul’s writing e.g. Eph 3:8; 1 Cor 15:9, and to some extent it seems to be an allusion to Christ’s verdict that his disciples quarrelled about which one of them would be the greatest (see Lk 9:48). 2 Helmold I, 14: “Testis est magister Adam, qui gesta Hammemburgensis ecclesiae pontificum disertissimo sermone conscripsit …” (“The witness is master Adam, who with great skill and fluency described the deeds of the bishops of the Church in Hamburg …”).

  • The Blitz and Its Legacy
    THE BLITZ AND ITS LEGACY 3 – 4 SEPTEMBER 2010 PORTLAND HALL, LITTLE TITCHFIELD STREET, LONDON W1W 7UW ABSTRACTS Conference organised by Dr Mark Clapson, University of Westminster Professor Peter Larkham, Birmingham City University (Re)planning the Metropolis: Process and Product in the Post-War London David Adams and Peter J Larkham Birmingham City University [email protected] [email protected] London, by far the UK’s largest city, was both its worst-damaged city during the Second World War and also was clearly suffering from significant pre-war social, economic and physical problems. As in many places, the wartime damage was seized upon as the opportunity to replan, sometimes radically, at all scales from the City core to the county and region. The hierarchy of plans thus produced, especially those by Abercrombie, is often celebrated as ‘models’, cited as being highly influential in shaping post-war planning thought and practice, and innovative. But much critical attention has also focused on the proposed physical product, especially the seductively-illustrated but flawed beaux-arts street layouts of the Royal Academy plans. Reconstruction-era replanning has been the focus of much attention over the past two decades, and it is appropriate now to re-consider the London experience in the light of our more detailed knowledge of processes and plans elsewhere in the UK. This paper therefore evaluates the London plan hierarchy in terms of process, using new biographical work on some of the authors together with archival research; product, examining exactly what was proposed, and the extent to which the different plans and different levels in the spatial planning hierarchy were integrated; and impact, particularly in terms of how concepts developed (or perhaps more accurately promoted) in the London plans influenced subsequent plans and planning in the UK.

  • 4. FIRE AWAY Toward the End of World War II, the Allied Forces
    4. FIRE AWAY Toward the end of World War II, the Allied Forces shifted tactics from the relatively ineffective high-altitude precision bombing of military targets to low-altitude firebombing of urban areas. This new form of bombing involved dropping a combination of high-explosive bombs to break windows and incendiary bombs to start fires. Over the span of eleven days in the summer of 1943, British and American forces bombed Hamburg, Germany, multiple times in a campaign codenamed “Operation Gomorrah.” During the night of 27 July, a combination of weather conditions and concentrated bombing produced a firestorm that sucked all the oxygen out of the lower atmosphere, produced winds up to 150 mph and temperatures around 1,500ºF, and towered over 1,000 feet into the sky. No one had predicted a firestorm as a possible side-effect of the bombing. Over the course of Operation Gomorrah, the bombing and subsequent firestorm killed over 40,000 people, according an article about the operation in Air Force Magazine, 2007. The Allies conducted a similar campaign against Dresden, Germany, during three days in February 1945, while the German army was retreating from all fronts. Previous bombing raids had been conducted against the railroad classification yards in Dresden, but this campaign targeted the inner city. On the morning of 14 February, the bombing produced a firestorm similar to the one in Hamburg, with temperatures reaching 2,700ºF. German sources have the number of people killed ranging between 25,000 and 35,000. The actual number was probably closer to 45,000, according to an article called “Firebombing (Germany & Japan),” by Conrad C.

    Music, Performance, Architecture (Rome / Vatican City, 11–14 Dec 19) Rome / Vatican City, Dec 11–14, 2019 Tobias C. Weißmann Music, Performance, Architecture. Sacred Spaces as Sound Spaces in the Early Modern Period International and interdisciplinary conference Conference venues: German Historical Institute in Rome (12 December, 13 December morning) Biblioteca Vallicelliana (11 December afternoon) Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana (13 December afternoon) S. Maria in Vallicella (11 December evening) Apostolic Palace (14 December morning) Concept and scientific organisation: Prof. Dr. Klaus Pietschmann and Dr. Tobias C. Weißmann (Research Project “CANTORIA – Music and Sacred Architecture”, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz) | German Historical Institute in Rome, Department of Music History Beginning in 15th century Italy, the polychoral musical performance practice and new compositio- nal developments in church music required the modification of venerable churches and the inte- gration of music spaces in new sacred buildings. This multifaceted change correlated with the rite and mass piety and enduringly affected the experience of liturgy and music. The most distinctive impact of this progress is epitomised by the installation of singer balconies and organ galleries on which top-class music ensembles and organists often performed and which served as stages for musical excellence. The permanent display of music advanced to become a core segment of sacred architecture while the potential of these spaces to promote identification becomes evident in numerous graffiti, as the singer pulpit in the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican exemplifies. The conference explores the complex interdependencies between architecture, acoustics, musi- cal performance practice and rite in the interdisciplinary discourse between musicology, art and architecture history.

  • The Origins of Mad: a Short History of City-Busting
    CHAPTER 1 THE ORIGINS OF MAD: A SHORT HISTORY OF CITY-BUSTING Richard R. Muller INTRODUCTION The 20th century was the age of total war, and nothing symbolized that dreadful era more than the bombardment of civilian populations from the air. From its halting beginnings in the First World War, in which 1,141 Britons lost their lives, strategic bombing evolved into the mass air raids of the Second World War, in which some 52,000 British, 330,000 Japanese, and anywhere from 300,000 to 1,000,000 German civilians perished. Nations poured scarce blood and treasure into the development and manning of vast bomber fl eets capable of carrying the war directly to enemy economic and population centers in the hope that this investment would prove decisive in modern warfare.1 The underlying rationale for strategic air warfare predates the reality of manned powered fl ight. Before the arrival of the machine age, wars were fought primarily between the armed forces of the belligerents. The 19th century Prussian military theorist Carl von Clausewitz noted that, while the “center of gravity . the hub of all power and movement” of an enemy state was normally its army, it could also be the capital, a key ally, or even public opinion.2 National power, therefore, could not be measured solely in terms of traditional military capability. Political will, economic productivity, transportation, commerce, and communications became increasingly important factors in struggles between the great powers. The advent of the commercial, fi nancial, and industrial revolutions brought with it the rise of the modern urban center, in which many of these elements were concentrated.

  • Hamburg School History (Part 2)
    HHaammbbuurrgg HHiissttoorryy A special section contributed by Mr. Daniel Barr on behalf of the Hamburg Historical Society Hamburg School History (Part 2) Hamburg High School was formed in 1905, 7 years prior to the construction of the high school building. The first graduation class held their commencement exercise on June 14th, 1906 and consisted of 4 students, Lesler B. Doland, Lester M. Drew, William A. Strait, and Harry E. Watt. They graduation ceremony was held at the Baptist Church. The graduations were held at the church every year until the Gym was built, except for 1936 when the church was destroyed by fire. That graduation was held at Franklin High School. The high school was built in 1911 and opened officially in 1912 with 76 students enrolled. Students came from Hamburg, Hardyston, Franklin, and Vernon. The building was built by Jonathon Dymock & Son. The Dymock home is now the present Weichert Realtors. Dymock built many of the beautiful Victorian homes still seen around town. Hamburg High School was the second high school in Sussex County, the first being Newton. Franklin wanted to build a high school, but the state decided our county was too small for a third high school, so when Franklin opened it was strictly a vocational school. In the lobby of Hamburg School is an old iron school bell. That was the original bell that hung in the tower of the old white school building. That bell was rung every morning to call students to school. It was also rung to call students back from lunch or recess.

  • Calibration of Artificial Athlete Berlin/Stuttgart Summary Of
    Calibration of Artificial Athlete Berlin/Stuttgart Summary of Calibration Series Performed in 2000 1. Introduction and Rational The Artificial Athletes Berlin and Stuttgart were developed by the FMPA Stuttgart (Otto-Graf- Institut) of the University of Stuttgart around 1970. The tests, which are specified in the German standards DIN 18035-6 "Sports Grounds; Synthetic Surfaced Areas" and DIN 18032-2 "Sports Halls; Sports Surfaces – Requirements, Testing, Maintenance",. and have been adopted by various national and international bodies (FIH, IAAF, ASTM, ITF, CEN, FIFA, UEFA). Over the years, especially the past 10 years, modifications to these DIN standards have taken place, which were at times inconsistent, resulting in major questions and concerns regarding the proper design of the test apparatus, the test procedure, the evaluation of measurements and the accuracy of the test results. The IAAF Accredited Labs of the ISSS felt that the resolution of these uncertainties was crucial and, based on the lack of response by the DIN (Deutsches Institut für Normung = German Institute of Standardization) to professional advice, took the initiative themselves to clarify the problems involved. As a first step, the ISSS called for papers analysing the structure of the Artificial Athletes and providing solutions for the pending problems. The submitted papers were received from Mark Harrison (GB), Dr. Konrad Binder (A), Dr. John Dunlop (AU) and Hans J. Kolitzus (D). The papers were published on ISSS's website www.isss.de. In a meeting held in Le Mans (F) in September 1999, the papers and problems were discussed in depth and a unanimous resolution was passed covering all open problems.
