  • CHAPTER 2 the Period of the Weimar Republic Is Divided Into Three
    CHAPTER 2 BERLIN DURING THE WEIMAR REPUBLIC The period of the Weimar Republic is divided into three periods, 1918 to 1923, 1924 to 1929, and 1930 to 1933, but we usually associate Weimar culture with the middle period when the post WWI revolutionary chaos had settled down and before the Nazis made their aggressive claim for power. This second period of the Weimar Republic after 1924 is considered Berlin’s most prosperous period, and is often referred to as the “Golden Twenties”. They were exciting and extremely vibrant years in the history of Berlin, as a sophisticated and innovative culture developed including architecture and design, literature, film, painting, music, criticism, philosophy, psychology, and fashion. For a short time Berlin seemed to be the center of European creativity where cinema was making huge technical and artistic strides. Like a firework display, Berlin was burning off all its energy in those five short years. A literary walk through Berlin during the Weimar period begins at the Kurfürstendamm, Berlin’s new part that came into its prime during the Weimar period. Large new movie theaters were built across from the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial church, the Capitol und Ufa-Palast, and many new cafés made the Kurfürstendamm into Berlin’s avant-garde boulevard. Max Reinhardt’s theater became a major attraction along with bars, nightclubs, wine restaurants, Russian tearooms and dance halls, providing a hangout for Weimar’s young writers. But Berlin’s Kurfürstendamm is mostly famous for its revered literary cafés, Kranzler, Schwanecke and the most renowned, the Romanische Café in the impressive looking Romanische Haus across from the Memorial church.

  • Another Big Contract for PORR in the German High-Speed Rail Network
    World of PORR 161/2012 PORR Updates Another big contract for PORR in the German high- speed rail network New confirmation of competence in the infrastructure sector. As part of the German Unity Transport Project VDE 8 Nuremberg-Berlin, in November 2012 Porr Bau GmbH was awarded a further contract by DB Netz AG, a subsidiary of Deutsche Bahn AG, for the equipping of a topped-out new- build section between Coburg and Ilmenau. The ballastless track system “Slab Track Austria – System ÖBB-PORR elastisch gelagerte Gleistragplatte” (elastically encased sleepers) with its proven 23-year record will likewise be deployed over some 44 km of high-speed section. There are a total of 13 valley bridges and 12 tunnels in the section. The total contract volume of around EUR 100 million is to be spent in the core building period from July 2013 to December 2014. The entire VDE 8 section between Berlin and Munich is scheduled to come into operation in 2017 – the travel time between the two cities will then be about 4 hours. The contract volume also includes the erection of around 14 km of noise barriers. Increased installation of this proven system began in Germany in 2001 with the project “Lehrter Hauptbahnhof Berlin”, Berlin’s central station, in 2001. The Coburg-Ilmenau subsection is a follow-up contract to the section VDE 8.2 “Erfurt–Gröbers” already awarded to Porr Bau GmbH in 2011. Here the ballastless track has been in the process of installation over some 90 km of two-track section since June 2012.

  • Ballastless Track on High-Speed Lines a Guarantee for Travel Savety And
    Ballastless track on high-speed lines A guarantee for travel savety and comfort Prologue High–speed rail travel, as a fast connection between high-density population areas and as an alternative to frequently-overloaded air connections with an uncertain future, is gaining increasingly in significance all over the world. In the face of growing traffic density, critical views of life-cycle costs and significantly increa- sed requirements of the availability of railway tracks, there is an increasing demand for track systems which have a long lifetime, low service and maintenance costs and which also guarantee tra- vel safety and comfort. Ballastless tracks (BLT) have numerous advantages over the tradi- tional ballasted track, because of markedly reduced maintenance costs, longer duration of use, improved precision of the running track and the resultant quiet vehicle running. High speed and ballast The nature of the route requirements is changing, as a result of an increase in travel speed or axle loads. The load transported creates inertial forces and the particular more-frequent faults ari- sing from the rolling process are increasing dramatically. Altered deformation mechanisms with dynamic stimulation can result in major grain shifts during piling-up of ballast, which result in con- siderable impairment of the ballasted track and are responsible for uneven creeping and track displacement in the ballast bed. In addition, the track ballast stones are sucked up by vehicles at very high speeds (flying ballast) and may damage them. De- spite the choice of harder types of stone for ballast in high-speed traffic, maintenance costs are considerably higher.

The landgraviate of Thuringia The Ludovingian dynasty reached its peak in 1040. The Wartburg Castle (built in 1067) was the symbol of the Ludovingian power. In 1131 Luis I. received the title of Landgrave (Earl). With this new political landgraviate groundwork, Thuringia became one of the most influential principalities. It was directly subordinated to the King and therefore had an analogous power to the traditional ducats of Bavaria, Saxony and Swabia. Moreover, the sons of the Landgraves were married to the aristocratic houses of the European elite (in 1221 the marriage between Luis I and Isabel of Hungary was consummated). Landgrave Hermann I. was a beloved patron of art. Under his government (1200-1217) the court of Thuringia was transformed into one of the most important centers for cultural life in Europe.
