On the Cutting Edge of Sustainable Energy Supply 19 May Until 25 June 2014 For me the Summer School was the perfect combination of academics and culture. Not only was I given a thorough introduction to sustainable energy technologies, but I also enjoyed the Summer School‘s cultural program. We visited cities, met locals, and learned the basics of the language. However, I was the most impressed with the people of the Summer School. Both the organizers and the student helpers were exceedingly welcoming, supportive, and always available to lend a hand. It was truly their efforts that made the Summer School so unforgettable.’ Jeff Rutherford International Summer School On the Cutting Edge of Sustainable Energy Supply 19 May until 25 June 2014 The International Summer School in Freiberg was an unparalleled opportunity for me to learn about renewable energy and experience German culture. From day one, the course was packed with stimulating lectures, labs, and exciting tours of facilities such as a wind turbine and solar module production factory. The German culture and language lessons were also extremely valuable, and allowed myself and my peers to achieve a greater level of immersion in the community as we learned to converse with local citizens and students in their native language. I would highly recommend this program to anyone who is interested in learning more about renewable energy, and experiencing Germany in an incredible way. http://tu-freiberg.de Ryan Going Table of contents WELCOME INTRODUCTION ........................................................................................................ 2 FREIBERG AND THE TU BERGAKADEMIE .............................................................. 3 PROGRAM ACADEMIC COURSE ................................................................................................. 4 CREDITS AND ASSESSMENT OF STUDENT PERFORMANCE .......................... 5 CULTURAL PROGRAM .............................................................................................. 6 GERMAN LANGUAGE & CULTURAL COURSE .................................................... 9 LIBRARY AND RESEARCH SUPPORT SERVICES ..................................................10 ORGANISATION HOW TO GET TO FREIBERG? ................................................................................. 11 THINGS TO BRING ALONG ..................................................................................12 ACCOMMODATION ...............................................................................................12 FOOD ..........................................................................................................................13 INSURANCE ..............................................................................................................14 COSTS .........................................................................................................................15 RELIGION AND CHURCHES IN FREIBERG .........................................................16 CONTACT ..................................................................................................................17 APPENDIX 1 – EXAMPLE COURSE SCHEDULE 2013 ........................................18 APPENDIX 2 – DESCRIPTION OF COURSES 2014 ............................................ 21 NOTES Imprint Published by TU Bergakademie Freiberg, International Center Text: Silke Hickmann, E.C.

    Originalveröffentlichung in: Enenkel, Karl A. E. ; Ottenheym, Konrad A. (Hrsgg.): The quest for an appropriate past in literature, art and architecture, Leiden 2019, S. 511-585 (Intersections ; 60) chapter 19 Translating the Past: Local Romanesque Architecture in Germany and Its Fifteenth-Century Reinterpretation Stephan Hoppe The early history of northern Renaissance architecture has long been pre- sented as being the inexorable occurrence of an almost viral dissemination of Italian Renaissance forms and motifs.1 For the last two decades, however, the interconnected and parallel histories of enfolding Renaissance humanism have produced new analytical models of reciprocal exchange and of an ac- tively creative reception of knowledge, ideas, and texts yet to be adopted more widely by art historical research.2 In what follows, the focus will be on a particular part of the history of early German Renaissance architecture, i.e. on the new engagement with the historical – and by then long out-of-date – world of Romanesque architectural style and its possible connections to emerging Renaissance historiography 1 Cf.

Powazek is approved: Committee Chairperson University of California, Riverside ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS International Projects with a Local Emphasis: The Collecting and Representation of Saxon Identity in the Dresden Kunstkammer and Princely Monuments in Freiberg Cathedral by Daniel A. Powazek Master of Arts, Graduate Program in Art History University of California, Riverside, June 2020 Dr. Kristoffer Neville, Chairperson When the Albertine Dukes of Saxony gained the Electoral privilege in the second half of the sixteenth century, they ascended to a higher echelon of European princes. Elector August (r. 1553-1586) marked this new status by commissioning a monumental tomb in Freiberg Cathedral in Saxony for his deceased brother, Moritz, who had first won the Electoral privilege for the Albertine line of rulers. The tomb’s magnificence and scale, completed in 1563, immediately set it into relation to the grandest funerary memorials of Europe, the tombs of popes and monarchs, and thus establishing the new Saxon Electors as worthy peers in rank and status to the most powerful rulers of the period. By the end of his reign, Elector August sought to enshrine the succeeding rulers of his line in an even grander project, a dynastic chapel built into Freiberg Cathedral directly in front of the tomb of Moritz.

    Architecture & the City “The Missing Chapter” From Blocks to Barracks: The Traditional City & Ecology Michael Dennis 259 Plan of the Hellenistic city of Priene, begun ca. 350 BC. Population: 4,000–5,000. Scale: 1”= 500’ Plan of the Vauban suburb of Freiberg, Germany, begun mid-1990s. Population: 5,634. Scale: 1”= 500’ 260 From Blocks to Barracks: The Traditional City and Ecology Toward the end of John Ellis’s review of my recent book, Architecture & the City: Selected Essays, he suggested: A potential missing chapter in this otherwise splendid book could include exam- ples of sustainable urbanism from other parts of the world. Taking clues from work such as Harrison Fraker’s research in his book The Hidden Potential of Sustainable Neighborhoods, there are examples of compact, transit-oriented urbanism with all the latest building technology in terms of energy efficiency, storm water management, green roofs and underground waste removal in places like Hammarby Sjostad in Stockholm, the Bo 01 district in Malmö, and Vauban in Frieberg, Germany to offer a way forward. These examples together with a Green New Deal in terms of a major program of public works infrastructure are needed to head off disaster in the next few decades as the realities of Climate Change threaten our survival. I was not familiar with these projects, or their host cities (Freiberg, Germany; Malmö, Sweden; and Stockholm, Sweden), and had not yet read Harrison’s book. But, since we are in an environmental crisis of epic proportions, and since cities are the most efficient form of human habitation on a per capita basis, I decided to look at these three projects—expecting to find genuine examples of urbanism, enhanced by comprehensive technologies.
