    Malta and Gozo - Experiences of a study tour from 14th to 21st September 2019 Text and Photos: Hans-Rudolf Neumann Saturday, 14th September 2019 The morning flight from Berlin via Frankfurt Main to Malta with Lufthansa ran without any incidents. But check-in service in Berlin leaves a lot to be desired; the transition to digital full automation to reduce staff provoked the oppo- site effect. Luggage check-in and boarding on two different ends of the airport caused anno- yance, while during boarding two flights were serviced on the same counter. One two Warsaw and one to Frankfurt Main – the line on luggage security was more than 200 people and it was safe to ask the pilot again if this is the right plane when entering the plane. The on-board meal on the flight to Frankfurt consisted of a 30 g al- mond tartlet of a 65 mm size and a drink, on the connecting flight to Malta we had a honey nut bar and another drink. Regarding that you had to leave the house at 4.45 am and entered the hotel in Malta around 12.40 pm, it was a re- Fig. 01: First group photo on the first day of the ex- markable performance, particularly as there was cursion: an INTERFEST study group with their no time to buy additional food in Frankfurt due wives and guests at the foot of the St. Michael bas- to the short connection time.

  • On the Trail
    EXPERIENCE HISTORY Discover the secrets of the Royal City ON THE TRAIL Every LITTLE CORNER charmingly Franconian. ON THE TRAIL OF KINGS. Forchheim, one of the oldest cities in Franconia, has preserved its medieval appearance with its many half-timbered houses and fortress. Archaeological excavations show that the Regnitz Valley, which surrounds Forchheim, was inhabited as long ago as prehistoric times. In the 7th century, the Franks established a small sett- lement here. Thanks to its transport-favourable location, it soon developed into an important centre of long-distance trade that even served as a royal court, particularly for the late Carolingian kings. « Embark on a voyage of discovery and enjoy a vivid experience of the history of Forchheim, a city steeped in tradition. SET OFF ON THE TRAIL: With our city map, you can discover the historical centre of Forchheim on your own. Take a stroll, or simply follow the attractions along the cobblestone lanes of splendid half-timbered houses. All the attractions can easily be reached on foot. EXPERIENCE MORE IN FORCHHEIM. Would you like to see another side of our city? Our tour guides will be happy to take you along! In addition to a guided, 90-minute tour, you can enjoy exciting theme tours such as a visit to the Forchheim fortifications, a Segway excursion or a look inside the local breweries. Of course, there is an exciting discovery tour for our little guests as well. You will find all the information about our guided tours at the Tourist Information Centre in the Kaiserpfalz Kapellenstraße 16 | 91301 Forchheim or online at www.forchheim-erleben.de All information supplied without guarantee.

  • Building the Temple of Salomo in the Early Medieval „Alamannia“
    Journal of Liberal Arts and Humanities (JLAH) Issue: Vol. 1; No. 4; April 2020 pp. 163-185 ISSN 2690-070X (Print) 2690-0718 (Online) Website: www.jlahnet.com E-mail: [email protected] Building the Temple of Salomo in the Early Medieval „Alamannia“ Dr. Thomas Kuentzel M.A. Untere Masch Strasse 16 Germany, 37073 Goettingen E-mail: [email protected] The diocese of Constance is one of the largest north of the Alps, reaching from the Lakes of Thun and Brienz down to Stuttgart and Ulm, from the river Iller (passing Kempten) to the Rhine near Lörrach and Freiburg. Its origins date back to the end of the 6th century; when saint Gall came to the duke of Alamannia, Gunzo, around the year 613, the duke promised him the episcopate, if he would cure his doughter.i In the 9th century some of the bishops also were abbots of the monasteries on the Island Reichenau and of Saint Gall. Three of the bishops were called Salomon, one being the uncle of the following.ii The noble family they belonged to is not known, but they possessed land on the southern shore of Lake Constance, in the province of Thurgau. Salomon III. was educated in the monastery of Saint Gall, and prepared especially for the episcopate. Maybe his uncle and granduncle also benefitted from such an education. Even their predecessor, bishop Wolfleoz, started his career as monk in Saint Gall. It is likely that the three Salomons were given their names with the wish, that they once would gain this office.
