  • 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.

Criterion (iv): Three key periods of European cultural and political development - the Middle Ages, the Baroque period, and the Gründerzeit - are exceptionally well illustrated by the urban and architectural heritage of the Historic Centre of Vienna. Criterion (vi): Since the 16th century Vienna has been universally acknowledged to be the musical capital of Europe. While taking note of the efforts already made for the protection of the historic town of Vienna, the Committee recommended that the State Party undertake the necessary measures to review the height and volume of the proposed new development near the Stadtpark, east of the Ringstrasse, so as not to impair the visual integrity of the historic town. Furthermore, the Committee recommended that special attention be given to continuous monitoring and control of any changes to the morphology of the historic building stock. BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS Vienna developed from early Celtic and Roman settlements into a Medieval and Baroque city, the capital of the Austro- Hungarian Empire. It played an essential role as a leading European music centre, from the great age of Viennese Classicism through the early part of the 20th century.

  • Czech Republic in 2018
    2018 R MEMPHIS IN MAY INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL Tennessee Academic Standards 2018 EDUCATION CURRICULUM GUIDE MEMPHIS IN MAY INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL Celebrates the Czech Republic in 2018 Celebrating the Czech Republic is the year-long focus of the 2018 Memphis in May International Festival. The Czech Republic is the twelfth European country to be honored in the festival’s history, and its selection by Memphis in May International Festival coincides with their celebration of 100 years as an independent nation, beginning as Czechoslovakia in 1918. The Czech Republic is a nation with 10 million inhabitants, situated in the middle of Europe, with Germany, Austria, Slovakia and Poland as its neighbors. Known for its rich historical and cultural heritage, more than a thousand years of Czech history has produced over 2,000 castles, chateaux, and fortresses. The country resonates with beautiful landscapes, including a chain of mountains on the border, deep forests, refreshing lakes, as well as architectural and urban masterpieces. Its capital city of Prague is known for stunning architecture and welcoming people, and is the fifth most- visited city in Europe as a result. The late twentieth century saw the Czech Republic rise as one of the youngest and strongest members of today’s European Union and NATO. Interestingly, the Czech Republic is known for peaceful transitions; from the Velvet Revolution in which they left Communism behind in 1989, to the Velvet Divorce in which they parted ways with Slovakia in 1993. Boasting the lowest unemployment rate in the European Union, the Czech Republic’s stable economy is supported by robust exports, chiefly in the automotive and technology sectors, with close economic ties to Germany and their former countrymen in Slovakia.

  • The Leveling of the High Medieval Viennese City Moat a Space Syntax Perspective
    The Leveling of the High Medieval Viennese City Moat A Space Syntax Perspective Claudiu SILVESTRU Vienna University of Technology Abstract: The present day street layout of the Viennese city center roots in the urban expansion of the 13 th Century. Among several measures involved - such as the erection of a new fortification ring and the inclusion of historically and economically important streets – the new urban area caused also the placing out of operation of the high medieval fortifications. The wall dates back to the roman period of Vindobona and was restored in the 12 th century by the Babenberg dukes. After becoming obsolete, the wall was partly incorporated between new houses as a fire-proof-wall and partly demolished. Nevertheless the rough course of the roman respectively high medieval wall is easily identifiable both in the late medieval and the present day urban layout. This paper focuses on the consequences on the overall street pattern that were introduced by the placing out of operation of the high medieval fortification and the leveling of its moat. In doing so, it will apply Space Syntax analysis methods to a new reconstruction of the plan of late medieval Vienna. The Space Syntax Theory was developed in the 60s by Bill Hillier in order to link urban patterns to social behavior and human movement. The employment of Space Syntax Analysis will point out the change of integration and centrality within the urban fabric caused by one of the most meaningful interventions in Viennese urban history. It will also depict the expansion process within the high medieval city and illustrate the meaning of distinctive areas such as the one around the St.

These settlements not only had infrastructural or centralizing functions but also provided opportunities for as well as constraints on the coexistence of several groups with specific qualities, forms and practices of belonging, togetherness, and solidarity.1 Within the Visions of Community project (viscom), we investigate various forms of identification and belonging in different settings of coexistence and thus ask to what extent dense settle- ments like European urban communities or South-Arabian non-urban sites can be considered as communities.2 We are aware that we are comparing com- munities under different legal, economic, religious, political, and also social conditions. But we are also interested in developing shared criteria to establish how and by what means these forms of settlement provided the framework for the formation of coexisting but also conflicting groups in late medieval times.3 In this paper I first want to examine the legal basis on which cities in the Holy Roman Empire can be typologically understood as urban communities. Civic rights and duties, confirmed by a civic oath, had long been held to be the most significant elements of formal belonging which entitled a person to par- ticipate in this thus politically defined type of community.

  • A Brief Examination of Warfare by Medieval Urban Militias in Central
    106 Acta Periodica Duellatorum, Practical section A brief examination of warfare by medieval urban militias in Central and Northern Europe Jean Henri Chandler, SDA NOLA, New Orleans, Louisiana Abstract – During the medieval and Early Modern period, the Free cities of Central and Northern Europe fielded militias which collectively played an important role in European warfare. The specific military role of the burgher is not well known outside of the realm of academic specialists in the English speaking world. In order to highlight this to my fellow layperson, I have chosen a selection of significant historical events with a special focus on Lombardy, Flanders, Silesia, Bohemia and Poland, in which urban militias played an important role. The intention is to allow us to review the effectiveness, tactics and strategic impact of urban militias and their possible relationship to the martial arts of pre-industrial Europe. Author’s notes: Special thanks to: Olivier Dupuis, Piermarco Terminiello, Krisztina Nagy, Roger Norling, Christian Trosclair, Willy Rosencrans, Michael Chidester, Cylcia Bolibaugh, Marjorie Dalton and Payson Muller. For purposes of brevity and ease of verification, the many references to The Annals of Jan Długosz are indicated here in the format Długosz, Date and presented as block quotes. A note on terminology: It is common in period documents for people writing in one language to use certain imprecise loan words from another. Like using "Tartar" (as in Tartarus) to refer to the Mongols, a term possibly originally derived from Tatar, which is just one of many Central Asian tribes associated with the Mongol hordes. In cases like this, for clarity, I use the term which was most often used in the primary source.
