Bayreuth Bayreuth is a large town in Northern Bavaria on the Red Main river in a valley between the Franconian Jura and the Fichtel- gebirge mountains. The town‘s roots date back to the year 1194 and Bayreuth now has a population of about 72,000 citizens and about 11,000 stu- dents at its university. The town is world-famous for its annual festival “die Bayreuther Festspiele” at which operas by the 19th century German composer Richard Wagner are performed. Located in the heart of nature, Bayreuth is renowned for its variety of sports and cultural activities throughout the year. Campus Universität Bayreuth AudimaxUniversity Campus of Bayreuth Bayreuther Festspiele A specialty the region further has to offer is its art of beer- brewing – nowhere in the world can one find such a regional proximity to breweries where the famous Bavarian beer is produced. The University Campus – often refered to as a Campus within nature – is built similarly to campuses of American Universi- ties. Every building is within a few minutes walking distance. Students can easily engage with each other – through summer schools and their regular studies.

  • Robert Schumann a Youth Pilgrimage to Munich 1828
    Robert Schumann Youth Pilgrimage Robert Schumann A Youth Pilgrimage to Munich 1828 Robert Schumann Youth Pilgrimage Introduction The young Schumann’s original sheets titled “Jünglings-Wallfarthen [Youth Pilgrimages]”, which he wrote down as a student in Heidelberg in 1830, are held at the Robert Schumann House in Zwickau. The nine journeys made between 1826 and 1830 took him to the following places: 1. Journey to Gotha, Eisenach, Weimar, Jena, 1826 2. Journey to Prague, 1827 3. Journey to Munich through Bavaria, 1828 4. Journey on the Rhine up to Heidelberg, 1829 5. Journey through Switzerland up to Venice, 1829 6. Journey through Baden to Strasbourg, 1830 7. Journey through Hesse to Frankfurt, 1830 8. Schwetzingen, Speyer, Worms and Rhenish Bavaria (Palatinate), 1830 9. Journey on the Rhine to Wesel and through Westphalia to Leipzig, 1830 The subsequent seven pages of prose text were titled “Erstes Gemählde. Reise nach Prag [First Picture. Journey to Prague]” but broke off in the middle of a sentence describing Colditz Castle. Unfortunately, Schumann never again got around to writing out his diary, kept in the form of keywords, as a continuous travel report. The slightly abridged version of Pilgrimage No. 3 below only covers the period between his departure from Zwickau and his stay in Munich.

  • From the Northern Ice Shield to the Alpine Glaciations a Quaternary Field Trip Through Germany
    DEUQUA excursions Edited by Daniela Sauer From the northern ice shield to the Alpine glaciations A Quaternary field trip through Germany GEOZON From the northern ice shield to the Alpine glaciations Preface Daniela Sauer The 10-day field trip described in this excursion guide was organized by a group of members of DEUQUA (Deutsche Quartärvereinigung = German Quaternary Union), coordinated by DEUQUA president Margot Böse. The tour was offered as a pre-congress field trip of the INQUA Congress in Bern, Switzerland, 21– 27 July 2011. Finally, the excursion got cancelled because not enough participants had registered. Apparently, many people were interested in the excursion but did not book it because of the high costs related to the 10-day trip. Because of the general interest, we decided nevertheless to finish the excursion guide. The route of the field trip follows a section through Germany from North to South, from the area of the Northern gla- ciation, to the Alpine glacial advances. It includes several places of historical importance, where milestones in Quaternary research have been achieved in the past, as well as new interesting sites where results of recent research is presented. The field trip starts at Greifswald in the very North-East of Germany. The first day is devoted to the Pleistocene and Ho- locene Evolution of coastal NE Germany. The Baltic coast with its characteristic cliffs provides excellent exposures showing the Late Pleistocene and Holocene stratigraphy and glaciotectonics. The most spectacular cliffs that are located on the island of Rügen, the largest island of Germany (926 km2) are shown.

  • Framework for Offline Flood Inundation Forecasts For
    geosciences Article Framework for Offline Flood Inundation Forecasts for Two-Dimensional Hydrodynamic Models Punit Kumar Bhola *, Jorge Leandro and Markus Disse Chair of Hydrology and River Basin Management, Department of Civil, Geo and Environmental Engineering, Technical University of Munich, Arcisstrasse 21, 80333 Munich, Germany; [email protected] (J.L.); [email protected] (M.D.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +49-89-289-23919 Received: 19 July 2018; Accepted: 11 September 2018; Published: 13 September 2018 Abstract: The paper presents a new methodology for hydrodynamic-based flood forecast that focuses on scenario generation and database queries to select appropriate flood inundation maps in real-time. In operational flood forecasting, only discharges are forecasted at specific gauges using hydrological models. Hydrodynamic models, which are required to produce inundation maps, are computationally expensive, hence not feasible for real-time inundation forecasting. In this study, we have used a substantial number of pre-calculated inundation maps that are stored in a database and a methodology to extract the most likely maps in real-time. The method uses real-time discharge forecast at upstream gauge as an input and compares it with the pre-recorded scenarios. The results show satisfactory agreements between offline inundation maps that are retrieved from a pre-recorded database and online maps, which are hindcasted using historical events. Furthermore, this allows an efficient early warning system, thanks to the fast run-time of the proposed offline selection of inundation maps. The framework is validated in the city of Kulmbach in Germany. Keywords: database; flood forecast; flood inundation map; hydrodynamic models 1.

  • Multistep Flood Inundation Forecasts with Resilient Backpropagation Neural Networks: Kulmbach Case Study
    water Article Multistep Flood Inundation Forecasts with Resilient Backpropagation Neural Networks: Kulmbach Case Study Qing Lin *, Jorge Leandro , Stefan Gerber and Markus Disse Chair of Hydrology and River Basin Management, Department of Civil, Geo and Environmental Engineering, Technical University of Munich, Arcisstrasse 21, 80333 Munich, Germany; [email protected] (J.L.); [email protected] (S.G.); [email protected] (M.D.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +49-89-289-23228 Received: 21 October 2020; Accepted: 10 December 2020; Published: 19 December 2020 Abstract: Flooding, a significant natural disaster, attracts worldwide attention because of its high impact on communities and individuals and increasing trend due to climate change. A flood forecast system can minimize the impacts by predicting the flood hazard before it occurs. Artificial neural networks (ANN) could efficiently process large amounts of data and find relations that enable faster flood predictions. The aim of this study is to perform multistep forecasts for 1–5 h after the flooding event has been triggered by a forecast threshold value. In this work, an ANN developed for the real-time forecast of flood inundation with a high spatial resolution (4 m 4 m) is extended to × allow for multiple forecasts. After trained with 120 synthetic flood events, the ANN was first tested with 60 synthetic events for verifying the forecast performance for 3 h, 6 h, 9 h and 12 h lead time. The model produces good results, as shown by more than 81% of all grids having an RMSE below 0.3 m. The ANN is then applied to the three historical flood events to test the multistep inundation forecast.
