The cities grew around them and this is why today they are mostly located right in the City Center. This is one reason why traveling by Rail is very convenient. At all of the medium size and larger train stations you will find lockers, restaurants, grocery- and other shops. You also find the German Rail travel Center (“DB Reisezentrum”) in case you need any assistance. GERMAN & AUSTRIAN RAIL SYSTEM: Rail system in the world are different and this is why it might be helpful to have some information about the German & Austrian Rail System. The rail companies we use are the major ones, “DB Deutsche Bahn” in Germany and “OEBB” in Austria. Both are government owned and controlled. There are differences between the local and regional rail systems and the long distance rail systems: • Local and regional rail system When you look at your timetables you will find “S”-trains (suburban trains), “RB”- and “RE”-trains (regional- and regional express trains), “IRE”-trains (interregional trains) which all belong to the local and regional rail system. • Long distance/High-speed Rail System When you look at your timetables you will find “ICE”-trains (High-speed Intercity Express), “IC”- and “EC”-trains (Intercity- and Eurocity express trains) and “RJ”-trains (Railjet) which all belong to the long distance rail system. MORE SPECIFIC INFORMATION (II) SEAT RESERVATION: Seat reservations are not mandatory in Germany and they can only be made for long distance trains (IC, EC, RJ and ICE). It is not possible to make seat reservations for a local train. Seat reservations on long distance trains are not included in the price of the ticket. There is a charge of EUR 4.50 for each seat reservation which is made. For the long distance trains you are holding unrestricted tickets which are valid on the different trains listed in your timetable. When you board the train there will be a little display above or at each seat showing if and, if yes, from where to where this seat has been reserved. You may take any seat which has not been reserved or which is not claimed within 10 minutes after the train has departed. If you prefer to make a reservation for a specific seat you may do so at any ticket center (“Reisezentrum”) of German Rail. BAGGAGE ON THE TRAINS: In Central Europe there is no baggage check-in for the trains. You take the baggage with you. There are no restrictions concerning baggage on the trains. However, it is advisable to travel light which makes the handling of the baggage much easier. At each train you find luggage racks above the seats where baggage can be stored. In addition to that most of the long distance trains have additional places to store baggage (either in the middle of the coach or right at the entrance). On Regional trains the overhead racks are smaller. Some of the trains have a compartment with fold-away seats where bicycles and baggage can be stores. It is advisable to keep the baggage attended. MORE SPECIFIC INFORMATION (III) YOUR HOTELS: We always try to book hotels which are well rated and are located close to the Central Stations. All of the hotels we book are located right at, close by or in walking distance to the rail stations. You do have directions on your voucher or google walking directions have been provided. Even though the hotels we pick are in walking distance of the Station with heavy baggage you might consider taking a taxi to the hotel. Since the hotels are close by the fare for the taxi should not be more than about EUR 6.00. YOUR TOURS: Please be at the departure point 10-15 minutes before the tour starts. On your tour vouchers you find directions and more information about the tour and also contact information about the provider of the tour. ELECTRICITY: Germany runs on 220 volts, 50 cycle. If you’re bringing electric appliances such as an electric razor or hairdryer, you’ll need a converter and a European-style, two round-pin, plug adapter. WATER: Tap water is safe to drink in Central Europe. Reasonably priced bottled water can be purchased in local supermarket. MORE SPECIFIC INFORMATION (IV) CURRENCY: The currency in most of the European countries is the EURO (€). Banknotes are issued in denominations of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and 500 Euros. Please note that notes of 100 Euros and above are not commonly used and that smaller shops and restaurants might not accept these notes. Coins will be worth 2 euros, 1 euro, and 50, 20, 10, 5, 2, and 1 “cents.” Money can be exchanged in your hotel, at banks, post offices and currency exchange booths. Credit Cards issued by Visa and MasterCard are widely accepted, American Express Cards might not be accepted at some stores. You might want to check with your bank about the fees for a money withdraw at an Automatic Teller Machine (ATM). In Europe you will find plenty of ATM´s in the City Center (e.g. at Rail Stations). Many of our clients tell us that a withdraw of Euros at an ATM for them was the most inexpensive way to “change” money. Please make sure you have your 4-digit PIN with you if you want to use the ATM´s. MEALS AND TIPPING: Your tour includes daily buffet breakfast.

  • When Architecture and Politics Meet

    When Architecture and Politics Meet

    Housing a Legislature: When Architecture and Politics Meet Russell L. Cope Introduction By their very nature parliamentary buildings are meant to attract notice; the grander the structure, the stronger the public and national interest and reaction to them. Parliamentary buildings represent tradition, stability and authority; they embody an image, or the commanding presence, of the state. They often evoke ideals of national identity, pride and what Ivor Indyk calls ‘the discourse of power’.1 In notable cases they may also come to incorporate aspects of national memory. Consequently, the destruction of a parliamentary building has an impact going beyond the destruction of most other public buildings. The burning of the Reichstag building in 1933 is an historical instance, with ominous consequences for the German State.2 Splendour and command, even majesty, are clearly projected in the grandest of parliamentary buildings, especially those of the Nineteenth Century in Europe and South America. Just as the Byzantine emperors aimed to awe and even overwhelm the barbarian embassies visiting their courts by the effects of architectural splendour and 1 Indyk, I. ‘The Semiotics of the New Parliament House’, in Parliament House, Canberra: a Building for the Nation, ed. by Haig Beck, pp. 42–47. Sydney, Collins, 1988. 2 Contrary to general belief, the Reichstag building was not destroyed in the 1933 fire. The chamber was destroyed, but other parts of the building were left unaffected and the very large library continued to operate as usual. A lot of manipulated publicity by the Nazis surrounded the event. Full details can be found in Gerhard Hahn’s work cited at footnote 27.
