  • Churches of Peace (Poland) Protestants Were Persecuted and Deprived of the Right and Possibility to Practise Their Faith

In most of the province Churches of Peace (Poland) Protestants were persecuted and deprived of the right and possibility to practise their faith. Through the agency of the No 1054 Lutheran king of Sweden, the Emperor finally allowed (1651–52) the erection of three churches, henceforth known as the Churches of Peace, in Silesian principalities under direct Habsburg rule in Glogow (Glogau), which ceased to exist in the 18th century, Jawor (Jauer), and Swidnica (Schweidnitz) in the south-west part of present-day Poland. The Emperor’s consent was, however, given upon conditions Identification that were difficult to comply with. The churches had to be built exclusively of perishable materials (wood and clay), Nomination Churches of Peace in Jawor and Swidnica located outside city walls, and built in a limited period of time.

  • National Analytical Study on Housing
    National Analytical Study on Housing RAXEN Focal Point for Portugal Númena Research Centre on Human and Social Sciences October 2003 1 DISCLAIMER: This study has been compiled by the National Focal Point of the Racism and Xenophobia Network operated by the European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia (EUMC). The opinions expressed by the author/s do not necessarily reflect the opinion or position of the EUMC. No mention of any authority, organisation, company or individual shall imply any approval as to their standing and capability on the part of the EUMC. This study is provided by the National Focal Point as information guide only, and in particular does not constitute legal advice. 2 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This reports provides an overview on the topics of housing and spatial segregation by taking a general viewpoint on the meagre literature available and on the almost non- existent data concerning housing discrimination. We start by tacking into account the data on re-housing programmes, especially the PER (Special Re-housing Programme), stressing the legal regime that supports this programme. We show some numbers that put into perspective the kind of spatial distribution characteristic of ethnic and migrant minorities. However, this is focused for the most part on the two biggest urbanised areas, that is, Lisbon and Porto, where the PER was promoted. We then move forward to a collection of academic studies in this area. We should notice that a recent interest on this subject has prompted the production of several works. Despite this growing attention on housing allocation the majority of such works are still on the making; being so results can only be expected at a greater length of time.

    We We in Frankfurt wir Frankfurter »In my state every man can seek heaven in his own fashion.« FREDERICK THE GREAT Frankfurt. Which One? It is the smaller of the two ones, the one on the River Oder! What, you do not know it? Then it is about time you did! Here you will find old Prussian tradition. You will find a modern, international location of science and solar industry. Fascinating landscape. A men- tality allowing »every man to be saved after his fashion«. And many of the old Prussian virtues ... »Frankfurt (Oder) is a dynamic, friendly city in the region of the German capital maintaining particular relations with Eastern Europe, focusing on new technologies and offering an interesting range of cultural events.« DR MARTIN WILKE, LORD MAyoR OF FRANKFURT (ODER) One of these is the so-called »tilting doll syndrome« of falling over and getting up again: The Frankfurters repeatedly needed a rather large share of this, be it because of the city's destruction through fire or wars or because thousands of jobs were lost in the period after 1990. Even so, the city always turns towards the future, looking ahead. This persistant and down-to-earth char- acter has been attracting others for centuries already. Let yourself be surprised by this city's lively spirit – and allow yourself to be caught by it. We Słubice people wir Słubicer Słubice on the eastern, Frankfurt on the western bank of the River Oder: We are connected not only by friendly neighbourhood, not only by the three bridges crossing the river but also by our joint history.

But no crowd or souvenir shop can stand in the way of a traveler with great intentions and zero expectations.” (Spirituality & Health Summer, 2000) “Unleash your imagination by going on a mystical journey. Brad Olsen gives his take on some of the most amazing and unexplained spots on the globe — including the underwater ruins of Bimini, which seems to point the way to the Lost City of Atlantis. You can choose to take an armchair pilgrimage (the book is a fascinating read) or follow his tips on how to travel to these powerful sites yourself.” (Mode 7/2000) “Should you be inspired to make a pilgrimage of your own, you might want to pick up a copy of Brad Olsen’s guide to the world’s sacred places.

A partir de então desenrola- -se um complexo processo, aqui reconstituído, que leva à detecção de outras pinturas subjacentes e à realização de sondagens que, numa das obras, envolvem a remoção de um terço da pintura visível. Em 1961 é decidido o levantamento integral das pinturas do século XVI de forma a ficarem visíveis as pinturas mais antigas, do século XV. Não obstante as recomendações da literatura disponível na época, a situação não parece ter sido cuidadosamente discutida, tendo sido profundamente condicionada pela ideologia do Estado Novo. No entanto, por razões desconhecidas, esse levantamento só vem a ser efectuado em duas pinturas enquanto nas outras duas são mantidas as imagens do século XVI e são refeitas as áreas destruídas pelas sondagens. Desta forma, o conjunto e a unidade que este apresentava foram desfeitos pela intervenção de restauro, concluída cerca de 1964. Entretanto, as pinturas são radiografadas em três ocasiões (1950, 1955-1960 e 1995), mas, ao contrário do esperado, são obtidas diferentes informações de cada vez.
