Ein wirklich guter Schweinsbraten mit Knödel (und Krautsalat) in der Klosterschänke Dietramszell.
Die Küche (nicht nur der Schweinebraten) ist echt empfehlenswert! Das ist hier übrigens die kleine Portion Schweinebraten!!
Sometimes you have to take care of and pamper your inner self. A few hours of visiting the Japanese gardens strolling around on a nice day in a pretty dress does it for me! Others are there for the same reason and while passing people they have smiles on their faces and either nod or say hello. Take time to do whatever makes you feel good!
This is the authentic THE EVIL DEAD Cheryl life-size display mask created by Ed Martinez in the mid-1990s ( Limited 1st Edition ).
Most Cheryl busts on net, etc are fake copies of this mask.

Authentic Local Life: Artisans, Markets, Villages and Rural Traditions
Description
A cinematic visual collection celebrating authentic local life, traditional craftsmanship and the quiet dignity of everyday work. The images move through fishing docks, open markets, bakeries, flower stalls, rural workshops, vineyards, shepherd paths, village squares, family meals, artisan studios and Mediterranean streets.
Across the series, fishermen repair nets at golden hour, bakers shape bread beside old stone ovens, market vendors prepare fresh fish and flowers, craftspeople work with leather, ceramics and textiles, families gather around rustic tables, children play in narrow alleys, villagers share slow afternoons under trees, and rural workers move through vineyards and pastoral landscapes.
The atmosphere is warm, human and documentary, with natural light, shallow depth of field, textured surfaces, weathered hands, traditional clothing, old stone walls, wooden tables, local food, handmade tools and a strong sense of place. The collection evokes themes of heritage, community, manual labor, sustainability, generational knowledge, Mediterranean culture, rural memory and the beauty of ordinary lives rooted in local identity.
These images have been generated by Artificial Intelligence.

This photo displays an authentic Italian pizzeria demonstrating cultural baking practices utilizing beautifully built brick ovens. While many of the varying cultures’ authentic food preparation styles have been modified and modernized, some ethnicity shines through the specific restaurant pictured above. For example, the Iron Gate Pizzeria bakes with an old world style wood-fired brick oven, similar to those used by Italian pizza chefs. The brick oven is a symbol of the Italian’s influence on American cooking habits. It is said that wood fired brick ovens and pizza have been with us since the dawn of civilization. Excavations of virtually every ancient civilization have uncovered the modern form of the brick oven, which was found, initially, in ancient Rome. While the common pizza descends from a very strong Italian influence, it bears the mark of many civilizations around the Mediterranean, starting with the Ancient Greeks who ate flat, baked bread and stretching to the Spaniards who had been to Peru and brought tomatoes back. These ovens are still used throughout Europe for cooking large quantities of bread. The brick ovens found in Pompeii, which still houses 33 uncovered brick ovens, are in excellent condition and could be used for baking in out present day with only small renovations, which demonstrates excellent engineering skill. The best attributes of the brick oven are it‘s dome shape, insulation, and vent. Medieval brick ovens are scattered across Europe, some varying from the original instrument from Rome. The actual word pizza emerged some time in the middle ages among aristocracy. The varying requirements to cook a pizza at a commercial bakery, pizzeria, or homeowner created a split in brick oven design in the late 18th century. The brick oven is not used by many pizzerias in the U.S. today. The brick ovens, although offering a delicious taste, cause the temperature to rise to a highly uncomfortable number. Few restaurants, however, show their roots. In fact, the world’s first Pizzeria to open in 1830, Antica Pizzeria Port’Alba, is still in business today in Naples. The pizza in this photo was hand tossed, sprinkled with cheese the employees grated, smothered with an authentic pizza sauce, topped with pepperonis, and put in the brick oven to bake. Pizza is viewed by most to be as symbolic of American culture as apple pie. This is unfortunately not true. Americans cannot take credit for this delicious favorite. Pizza has a strong Italian background. The unique flavor of these brick oven pizzas is unmatched.

A day passes so fast that it must be weeks before I realize I still eat fast foods even though I do cook everyday. Not necessarily KFC's kind, but it's food to go, which means fast.
More often than not I miss a meal of vegetables and fish. Things that are fresh. Farm-to-fork stuff. Some foreign guys are curious about what an authentic Vietnamese meal is like when I tell them they wouldn't find it in any Vietnamese restaurant around the world. "You either cook by yourself, or sit with villagers in the countryside," I said. I missed one thing - my favorite hiding place in the middle of the bustling city. Except for the music, I like everything that smells and sounds and looks and feels purely authentic and unique here. Even their tiny sugar jar.
"Enjoy" is a strange word. Not an extravaganza, not even expensive, it is simple but just can't be bought. It has to be from somewhere inside that you didn't even know it exists. Till it comes.
Locomotive #2024 was built back in 1944 by Lima Loccomotive. I never get tired of watching the train make it's loop around Heritage Park or listening to it's whistle.
Building history
Until 1918, the sprawling castle complex in the heart of Vienna was the political center of the monarchy; today it fulfills the same function for democratic Austria. Where once Emperor Joseph II designed his revolutionary reform program, where events of the Congress of Vienna took place (the "Vienna Congress danced") and where Emperor Franz Joseph granted audience, the President of the Republic resides. Numerous cultural institutions - from the Austrian National Library to the Spanish Riding School - are also housed in the asymmetrical building complex with its 19 courtyards and 18 wings, which has grown over the centuries.
In the Silver chamber document splendid dining services, up to 30-meter-long centerpieces and exquisite table linen the impressive splendor of the imperial table culture. A complex picture of Empress Elisabeth opens up to the visitors in the Sisi Museum. Numerous, partly very personal exhibits provide exciting insights into the official and the private world of the monarch. Visiting the imperial apartments, the visitors gain an insight into the lifeworld of Austria's most famous ruling couple. The 24 working, living and reception rooms of Emperor Franz Joseph and his wife Sisi are for the most part historically authentically furnished and, in their comparatively modest appearance, are a striking contrast to the lush splendor of the summer residence Schönbrunn.
For more than 600 years, the Vienna Hofburg had been the residence of the Austrian sovereign princes and developed into a center of European history that had evolved over the centuries, to which the constant expansion of the Habsburg city residence also contributed. From here, the Habsburgs ruled since the 13th century, first as Austrian rulers, from 1452 as elected emperor of the Holy Roman Empire and finally from 1806 as Austrian emperors until the end of the monarchy in 1918.
Starting from a medieval, fortified castle of the 13th century, each emperor extended the residence by building a new wing or tract. The extensive asymmetric complex, which stretches over 240,000 m2, consists of 18 wings, 19 courtyards and 2,600 rooms, in which around 5,000 people still live and work today.
The oldest part of the Hofburg is the Alte Burg (Old Castle), which has been called the Swiss Wing since the 18th century after the Swiss Guard, who served here as the castle guard. The medieval castle complex is preserved in its core to this day, only the four corner towers, the largest part of the moat and the drawbridge had to give way to the changes over time. In the middle of the 16th century, the facade was renewed in the style of the Renaissance.
1552 arose the by Pietro Ferabosco designed Swiss gate, one of the few Renaissance monuments in Vienna. In this tract is the Treasury, where the insignia of the Holy Roman Empire as well as those of the Austrian Empire are kept. In the castle chapel, built in 1449, the Vienna Boys' Choir still sings at the Sunday mass.
1559 was begun with the construction of the stable castle as a new residence. The stables of the famous Lipizzaner horses have been here since the 18th century. Every day (except Mondays) they do their morning training or demonstrations in the opposite Winter riding school.
Opposite the Swiss Wing, the Amalienburg was built as a freestanding building in the 16th century. It owes its name to the Empress Wilhelmine Amalie, for whom here after the death of her husband Emperor Joseph I, a corresponding widow's apartment was established. Most recently Empress Elisabeth lived in this part of the Hofburg, whose apartments can be visited today.
In the 17th century, Emperor Leopold I had the Swiss Wing linked to the Amalienburg. The newly created and named after the emperor early Baroque Leopoldinian tract was built in 1668-1680 and inhabited in the 18th century by Maria Theresa. After her death, the premises were used until the end of the monarchy as splendid state rooms. Since 1946 here is the official residence of the Austrian Federal President.
In one part of the Hofburg, the Hofweinkeller (Imperial wine cellar) was located in the basement on three underground floors. After the end of the monarchy, the wine stocks stored there were auctioned off and a plaster model depot was set up, in which the models of the fountains and monuments of the Ring Road buildings are kept.
In the 18th century, the Hofburg was under Emperor Charles VI expanded by sumptuous Baroque buildings designed and begun by Court architect Joseph Bernhard Fischer von Erlach. In 1723, after the death of the architect, his son Johann Emanuel Fischer von Erlach took over the construction management.
1723-1735, the National Library was built as a Court library for the precious book inventory of the Habsburgs. With its impressive Baroque interior, the State Hall is one of the most beautiful library halls in the world.
After the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation in 1806, the chancellery and representation rooms have been converted into living quarters for the now Austrian imperial family. From the middle of the 19th century, Emperor Franz Joseph resided here.
The sculptures on the portals are by Lorenzo Mattielli, circa 1730, depicting the deeds of Hercules. In the middle section is the Emperor's Gate, which forms the entrance to the imperial apartments. On the edge of the roof rises the imposing escutcheon of Emperor Charles VI with the double-headed eagle, which among other things carries the Austrian Bindenschild ("gules a fess argent", with the Austrian colors red-white-red) and is superelevated by the imperial crown.
With the death of Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach another architect of the Austrian Baroque, Lukas von Hildebrandt, saw his chance. While Fischer's son was to realize his father's plans, Hildebrandt was able to begin planning activities at the Reichskanzleitrakt (Imperial Chancellery Wing), where the Chancery of the Holy Roman Empire was initially housed. At the request of the emperor, after all, Johann Emanuel Fischer von Erlach finally finished the wing in 1730.
In 1735, Johann Emanuel Fischer von Erlach also completed the Winter Riding School, in which the Spanish Riding School shows are still held today. Subsequently, the Redoutensäle (Redoute ballrooms) were built, in which large receptions, balls and other festivities took place and which today serve as a convention center.
The sumptuous ceremonial hall, in which also many of the imperial family celebrations have been celebrated and in which many of the famous Viennese balls take place, was built by Ludwig Montoyer at the beginning of the 19th century.
Only at the end of the 19th century, when the Old Burgtheater was demolished, completed Ferdinand Kirschner after plans by Fischer von Erlach the Michaelertrakt (St. Michael Wing), with its curved facade and its fifty-meter-high dome shaping the appearance of the inner city side of the Hofburg until today.
At the beginning of the 20th century, shortly before the end of the monarchy, the most imposing part of the Hofburg, the Neue Hofburg (New Hofburg Castle), was finally completed as part of the "Kaiserforum" planned by Gottfried Semper and Karl Hasenauer. Today, it houses a part of the Austrian National Library and its various collections, as well as those of various museums.
Baugeschichte
Bis 1918 war die weitläufige Burganlage im Herzen Wiens das politische Zentrum der Monarchie, heute erfüllt sie dieselbe Funktion für das demokratische Österreich. Wo einst Kaiser Joseph II. sein revolutionäres Reformprogramm entwarf, wo Veranstaltungen des Wiener Kongresses stattfanden (der „Wiener Kongress tanzte“) und wo Kaiser Franz Joseph Audienz gewährte, residiert nun der Bundespräsident der Republik. Auch zahlreiche kulturelle Institutionen - von der Österreichischen Nationalbibliothek bis zur Spanischen Hofreitschule - sind in dem über Jahrhunderte gewachsenen asymmetrischen Gebäudekomplex mit seinen 19 Höfen und 18 Trakten untergebracht.
In der Silberkammer dokumentieren prachtvolle Speiseservice, bis zu 30 Meter lange Tafelaufsätze und exquisite Tischwäsche die beeindruckende Pracht der kaiserlichen Tafelkultur. Ein vielschichtiges Bild der Kaiserin Elisabeth erschließt sich im Sisi Museum den BesucherInnen. Zahlreiche, teils sehr persönliche Exponate ermöglichen spannende Einblicke in die offizielle und in die private Welt der Monarchin. Mit der Besichtigung der Kaiserappartements gewinnen die BesucherInnen einen Einblick in die Lebenswelt von Österreichs berühmtesten Herrscherpaars. Die 24 Arbeits-, Wohn- und Empfangsräume von Kaiser Franz Joseph und seiner Gemahlin Sisi sind zum Großteil historisch-authentisch ausgestattet und bilden in ihrer vergleichsweise bescheiden anmutenden Ausstattung einen merkbaren Kontrast zum üppigen Prunk der Sommerresidenz Schönbrunn.
Die Wiener Hofburg war über 600 Jahre lang Residenz der österreichischen Landesfürsten und entwickelte sich zu einem im Laufe von Jahrhunderten gewachsenen Zentrum der europäischen Geschichte, zu dem auch der ständige Ausbau der habsburgischen Stadtresidenz beitrug. Von hier aus regierten die Habsburger seit dem 13. Jahrhundert, zunächst als österreichische Landesherren, ab 1452 als gewählte Kaiser des Heiligen Römischen Reiches und schließlich ab 1806 als österreichische Kaiser bis zum Ende der Monarchie 1918.
Ausgehend von einer mittelalterlichen, befestigten Burganlage des 13. Jahrhunderts erweiterte jeder Kaiser die Residenz, indem er einen neuen Trakt oder Flügel errichten ließ. Der ausgedehnte asymmetrische Komplex, der sich über 240.000 m2 erstreckt, besteht aus 18 Trakten, 19 Höfen und 2.600 Räumen, in denen bis heute rund 5.000 Menschen wohnen und arbeiten.
Der älteste Teil der Hofburg ist die Alte Burg, die seit dem 18. Jahrhundert nach der Schweizergarde, die hier als Burgwache diente, Schweizertrakt genannt wird. Die mittelalterliche Burganlage ist in ihrem Kern bis heute erhalten, nur die vier Ecktürme, der größte Teil des Burggrabens und die Zugbrücke mussten im Laufe der Zeit den Neuerungen weichen. Mitte des 16. Jahrhunderts wurde die Fassade im Stil der Renaissance erneuert.
1552 entstand das von Pietro Ferabosco gestaltete Schweizertor, eines der wenigen Renaissancedenkmäler in Wien. In diesem Trakt befindet sich die Schatzkammer, in der die Insignien des Heiligen Römischen Reiches sowie jene des österreichischen Kaisertums aufbewahrt werden. In der 1449 errichteten Burgkapelle singen bis zum heutigen Tag die Wiener Sängerknaben bei der Sonntagsmesse.
1559 wurde mit dem Bau der Stallburg als neue Residenz begonnen. Seit dem 18. Jahrhundert befinden sich hier die Stallungen der berühmten Lipizzaner, die täglich (außer Montag) in der gegenüberliegenden Winterreitschule ihr Morgentraining oder ihre Vorführungen absolvieren.
Gegenüber dem Schweizertrakt wurde im 16. Jahrhundert die Amalienburg als freistehendes Gebäude errichtet. Sie verdankt ihren Namen der Kaiserin Wilhelmine Amalie, für die hier nach dem Tod ihres Gemahls Kaiser Joseph I. ein entsprechendes Witwenappartement eingerichtet wurde. Zuletzt bewohnte Kaiserin Elisabeth diesen Teil der Hofburg, deren Appartements heute besichtigt werden können.
Im 17. Jahrhundert ließ Kaiser Leopold I. den Schweizertrakt mit der Amalienburg verbinden. Der neu entstandene und nach dem Kaiser benannte frühbarocke Leopoldinische Trakt wurde 1668-1680 errichtet und im 18. Jahrhundert von Maria Theresia bewohnt. Nach ihrem Tod wurden die Räumlichkeiten bis zum Ende der Monarchie als prunkvolle Repräsentationsräume verwendet. Seit 1946 befindet sich hier der Amtssitz des österreichischen Bundespräsidenten.
In einem Teil der Hofburg war im Kellergeschoß auf drei unterirdischen Stockwerken der Hofweinkeller untergebracht. Nach dem Ende der Monarchie wurden die dort gelagerten Weinbestände versteigert und ein Gipsmodelldepot eingerichtet, in dem die Modelle der Brunnen und Denkmälern der Ringstraßenbauten aufbewahrt werden.
Im 18. Jahrhundert wurde die Hofburg unter Kaiser Karl VI. durch prunkvolle Barockbauten erweitert, die vom Hofarchitekten Joseph Bernhard Fischer von Erlach geplant und begonnen wurden. 1723, nach dem Tod des Architekten, übernahm dessen Sohn Johann Emanuel Fischer von Erlach die Bauleitung.
1723-1735 wurde die Nationalbibliothek als Hofbibliothek für den kostbaren Bücherbestand der Habsburger gebaut. Der Prunksaal gehört mit seinem beeindruckenden barocken Interieur zu den schönsten Bibliothekssälen der Welt.
Nach der Auflösung des Heiligen Römischen Reiches deutscher Nation im Jahre 1806 wurden die Kanzlei- und Repräsentationsräume
in Wohnräume für die nunmehrige österreichisch kaiserliche Familie umgewandelt. Ab der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts residierte hier schließlich Kaiser Franz Joseph.
Die Skulpturen an den Portalen stammen von Lorenzo Mattielli, um 1730, und stellen die Taten des Herkules dar. Im Mitteltrakt befindet sich das Kaisertor, das den Zugang zu den Kaiserappartements bildet. Am Dachrand erhebt sich der imposante Wappenschild des Kaisers Karl VI. mit dem Doppeladler, der unter anderem den österreichischen Bindenschild (mit den österreichischen Farben rot-weiß-rot) trägt und von der Reichskrone überhöht ist.
Mit dem Tod Johann Bernhard Fischers von Erlach sah auch ein anderer Architekt des österreichischen Barock, Lukas von Hildebrandt, seine Chance gekommen. Während Fischers Sohn die Pläne seines Vaters verwirklichen sollte, konnte Hildebrandt planerische Tätigkeiten am Reichskanzleitrakt, in dem zunächst die Kanzlei des Heiligen Römischen Reiches untergebracht war, beginnen. Auf Wunsch des Kaisersvollendete schließlich doch Johann Emanuel Fischer von Erlach 1730 den Trakt.
1735 vollendete Johann Emanuel Fischer von Erlach auch die Winterreitschule, in der bis heute die Vorführungen der Spanischen Reitschule stattfinden. Daran anschließend wurden die Redoutensäle errichtet, in denen große Empfänge, Bälle und andere Festlichkeiten stattfanden und die heute als Kongresszentrum dienen.
Der prunkvolle Zeremoniensaal, in dem ebenfalls viele Feste des Kaiserhauses gefeiert wurden und in dem bis heute viele der berühmten Wiener Bälle stattfinden, wurden von Ludwig Montoyer zu Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts errichtet.
Erst Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts, als das Alte Burgtheater abgetragen wurde, vollendete Ferdinand Kirschner nach Plänen Fischers von Erlach den Michaelertrakt, der mit seiner geschwungenen Fassade und seiner fünfzig Meter hohen Kuppel das Erscheinungsbild der Innenstadtseite der Hofburg bis heute prägt.
Am Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts, kurz vor Ende der Monarchie, wurde schließlich der imposanteste Teil der Hofburg, die Neue Hofburg, als Teil des von Gottfried Semper und Karl Hasenauer geplanten "Kaiserforums" fertiggestellt. Heute sind hier ein Teil der Österreichischen Nationalbibliothek und deren verschiedene Sammlungen und wie auch die von verschiedenen Museen untergebracht.
