"It is my will that the expansion of the inner city of Vienna with regard to a suitable connection of the same with the suburbs as soon as possible is tackled and at this on Regulirung (regulation) and beautifying of my Residence and Imperial Capital is taken into account. To this end I grant the withdrawal of the ramparts and fortifications of the inner city and the trenches around the same".
This decree of Emperor Franz Joseph I, published on 25 December 1857 in the Wiener Zeitung, formed the basis for the largest the surface concerning and architecturally most significant transformation of the Viennese cityscape. Involving several renowned domestic and foreign architects a "master plan" took form, which included the construction of a boulevard instead of the ramparts between the inner city and its radially upstream suburbs. In the 50-years during implementation phase, an impressive architectural ensemble developed, consisting of imperial and private representational buildings, public administration and cultural buildings, churches and barracks, marking the era under the term "ring-street style". Already in the first year tithe decided a senior member of the Austrian imperial family to decorate the facades of his palace according to the new design principles, and thus certified the aristocratic claim that this also "historicism" said style on the part of the imperial house was attributed.

It was the palace of Archduke Albrecht (1817-1895), the Senior of the Habsburg Family Council, who as Field Marshal held the overall command over the Austro-Hungarian army. The building was incorporated into the imperial residence of the Hofburg complex, forming the south-west corner and extending eleven meters above street level on the so-called Augustinerbastei.
The close proximity of the palace to the imperial residence corresponded not only with Emperor Franz Joseph I and Archduke Albert with a close familial relationship between the owner of the palace and the monarch. Even the former inhabitants were always in close relationship to the imperial family, whether by birth or marriage. An exception here again proves the rule: Don Emanuel Teles da Silva Conde Tarouca (1696-1771), for which Maria Theresa in 1744 the palace had built, was just a close friend and advisor of the monarch. Silva Tarouca underpins the rule with a second exception, because he belonged to the administrative services as Generalhofbaudirektor (general court architect) and President of the Austrian-Dutch administration, while all other him subsequent owners were highest ranking military.
In the annals of Austrian history, especially those of military history, they either went into as commander of the Imperial Army, or the Austrian, later kk Army. In chronological order, this applies to Duke Carl Alexander of Lorraine, the brother-of-law of Maria Theresa, as Imperial Marshal, her son-in-law Duke Albert of Saxe-Teschen, also field marshal, whos adopted son, Archduke Charles of Austria, the last imperial field marshal and only Generalissimo of Austria, his son Archduke Albrecht of Austria as Feldmarschalil and army Supreme commander, and most recently his nephew Archduke Friedrich of Austria, who held as field marshal from 1914 to 1916 the command of the Austro-Hungarian troops. Despite their military profession, all five generals conceived themselves as patrons of the arts and promoted large sums of money to build large collections, the construction of magnificent buildings and cultural life. Charles Alexander of Lorraine promoted as governor of the Austrian Netherlands from 1741 to 1780 the Academy of Fine Arts, the Théâtre de Ja Monnaie and the companies Bourgeois Concert and Concert Noble, he founded the Academie royale et imperial des Sciences et des Lettres, opened the Bibliotheque Royal for the population and supported artistic talents with high scholarships. World fame got his porcelain collection, which however had to be sold by Emperor Joseph II to pay off his debts. Duke Albert began in 1776 according to the concept of conte Durazzo to set up an encyclopedic collection of prints, which forms the core of the world-famous "Albertina" today.

1816 declared to Fideikommiss and thus in future indivisible, inalienable and inseparable, the collection 1822 passed into the possession of Archduke Carl, who, like his descendants, it broadened. Under him, the collection was introduced together with the sumptuously equipped palace on the Augustinerbastei in the so-called "Carl Ludwig'schen fideicommissum in 1826, by which the building and the in it kept collection fused into an indissoluble unity. At this time had from the Palais Tarouca by structural expansion or acquisition a veritable Residenz palace evolved. Duke Albert of Saxe-Teschen was first in 1800 the third floor of the adjacent Augustinian convent wing adapted to house his collection and he had after 1802 by his Belgian architect Louis de Montoyer at the suburban side built a magnificent extension, called the wing of staterooms, it was equipped in the style of Louis XVI. Only two decades later, Archduke Carl the entire palace newly set up. According to scetches of the architect Joseph Kornhäusel the 1822-1825 retreaded premises presented themselves in the Empire style. The interior of the palace testified from now in an impressive way the high rank and the prominent position of its owner. Under Archduke Albrecht the outer appearance also should meet the requirements. He had the facade of the palace in the style of historicism orchestrated and added to the Palais front against the suburbs an offshore covered access. Inside, he limited himself, apart from the redesign of the Rococo room in the manner of the second Blondel style, to the retention of the paternal stock. Archduke Friedrich's plans for an expansion of the palace were omitted, however, because of the outbreak of the First World War so that his contribution to the state rooms, especially, consists in the layout of the Spanish apartment, which he in 1895 for his sister, the Queen of Spain Maria Christina, had set up as a permanent residence.

The era of stately representation with handing down their cultural values found its most obvious visualization inside the palace through the design and features of the staterooms. On one hand, by the use of the finest materials and the purchase of masterfully manufactured pieces of equipment, such as on the other hand by the permanent reuse of older equipment parts. This period lasted until 1919, when Archduke Friedrich was expropriated by the newly founded Republic of Austria. With the republicanization of the collection and the building first of all finished the tradition that the owner's name was synonymous with the building name:
After Palais Tarouca or tarokkisches house it was called Lorraine House, afterwards Duke Albert Palais and Palais Archduke Carl. Due to the new construction of an adjacently located administration building it received in 1865 the prefix "Upper" and was referred to as Upper Palais Archduke Albrecht and Upper Palais Archduke Frederick. For the state a special reference to the Habsburg past was certainly politically no longer opportune, which is why was decided to name the building according to the in it kept collection "Albertina".

This name derives from the term "La Collection Albertina" which had been used by the gallery Inspector Maurice von Thausing in 1870 in the Gazette des Beaux-Arts for the former graphics collection of Duke Albert. For this reason, it was the first time since the foundation of the palace that the name of the collection had become synonymous with the room shell. Room shell, hence, because the Republic of Austria Archduke Friedrich had allowed to take along all the movable goods from the palace in his Hungarian exile: crystal chandeliers, curtains and carpets as well as sculptures, vases and clocks. Particularly stressed should be the exquisite furniture, which stems of three facilities phases: the Louis XVI furnitures of Duke Albert, which had been manufactured on the basis of fraternal relations between his wife Archduchess Marie Christine and the French Queen Marie Antoinette after 1780 in the French Hofmanufakturen, also the on behalf of Archduke Charles 1822-1825 in the Vienna Porcelain Manufactory by Joseph Danhauser produced Empire furnitures and thirdly additions of the same style of Archduke Friedrich, which this about 1900 at Portois & Ffix as well as at Friedrich Otto Schmidt had commissioned.
The "swept clean" building got due to the strained financial situation after the First World War initially only a makeshift facility. However, since until 1999 no revision of the emergency equipment took place, but differently designed, primarily the utilitarianism committed office furnitures complementarily had been added, the equipment of the former state rooms presented itself at the end of the 20th century as an inhomogeneous administrative mingle-mangle of insignificant parts, where, however, dwelt a certain quaint charm. From the magnificent state rooms had evolved depots, storage rooms, a library, a study hall and several officed.

Worse it hit the outer appearance of the palace, because in times of continued anti-Habsburg sentiment after the Second World War and inspired by an intolerant destruction will, it came by pickaxe to a ministerial erasure of history. In contrast to the graphic collection possessed the richly decorated facades with the conspicuous insignia of the former owner an object-immanent reference to the Habsburg past and thus exhibited the monarchial traditions and values of the era of Francis Joseph significantly. As part of the remedial measures after a bomb damage, in 1948 the aristocratic, by Archduke Albert initiated, historicist facade structuring along with all decorations was cut off, many facade figures demolished and the Hapsburg crest emblems plunged to the ground. Since in addition the old ramp also had been cancelled and the main entrance of the bastion level had been moved down to the second basement storey at street level, ended the presence of the old Archduke's palace after more than 200 years. At the reopening of the "Albertina Graphic Collection" in 1952, the former Hapsburg Palais of splendour presented itself as one of his identity robbed, formally trivial, soulless room shell, whose successful republicanization an oversized and also unproportional eagle above the new main entrance to the Augustinian road symbolized. The emocratic throw of monuments had wiped out the Hapsburg palace from the urban appeareance, whereby in the perception only existed a nondescript, nameless and ahistorical building that henceforth served the lodging and presentation of world-famous graphic collection of the Albertina. The condition was not changed by the decision to the refurbishment because there were only planned collection specific extensions, but no restoration of the palace.

This paradigm shift corresponded to a blatant reversal of the historical circumstances, as the travel guides and travel books for kk Residence and imperial capital of Vienna dedicated itself primarily with the magnificent, aristocratic palace on the Augustinerbastei with the sumptuously fitted out reception rooms and mentioned the collection kept there - if at all - only in passing. Only with the repositioning of the Albertina in 2000 under the direction of Klaus Albrecht Schröder, the palace was within the meaning and in fulfillment of the Fideikommiss of Archduke Charles in 1826 again met with the high regard, from which could result a further inseparable bond between the magnificent mansions and the world-famous collection. In view of the knowing about politically motivated errors and omissions of the past, the facades should get back their noble, historicist designing, the staterooms regain their glamorous, prestigious appearance and culturally unique equippment be repurchased. From this presumption, eventually grew the full commitment to revise the history of redemption and the return of the stately palace in the public consciousness.

The smoothed palace facades were returned to their original condition and present themselves today - with the exception of the not anymore reconstructed Attica figures - again with the historicist decoration and layout elements that Archduke Albrecht had given after the razing of the Augustinerbastei in 1865 in order. The neoclassical interiors, today called after the former inhabitants "Habsburg Staterooms", receiving a meticulous and detailed restoration taking place at the premises of originality and authenticity, got back their venerable and sumptuous appearance. From the world wide scattered historical pieces of equipment have been bought back 70 properties or could be returned through permanent loan to its original location, by which to the visitors is made experiencable again that atmosphere in 1919 the state rooms of the last Habsburg owner Archduke Frederick had owned. The for the first time in 80 years public accessible "Habsburg State Rooms" at the Palais Albertina enable now again as eloquent testimony to our Habsburg past and as a unique cultural heritage fundamental and essential insights into the Austrian cultural history. With the relocation of the main entrance to the level of the Augustinerbastei the recollection to this so valuable Austrian Cultural Heritage formally and functionally came to completion. The vision of the restoration and recovery of the grand palace was a pillar on which the new Albertina should arise again, the other embody the four large newly built exhibition halls, which allow for the first time in the history of the Albertina, to exhibit the collection throughout its encyclopedic breadh under optimal conservation conditions.

The palace presents itself now in its appearance in the historicist style of the Ringstrassenära, almost as if nothing had happened in the meantime. But will the wheel of time should not, cannot and must not be turned back, so that the double standards of the "Albertina Palace" said museum - on the one hand Habsburg grandeur palaces and other modern museum for the arts of graphics - should be symbolized by a modern character: The in 2003 by Hans Hollein designed far into the Albertina square cantilevering, elegant floating flying roof. 64 meters long, it symbolizes in the form of a dynamic wedge the accelerated urban spatial connectivity and public access to the palace. It advertises the major changes in the interior as well as the huge underground extensions of the repositioned "Albertina".

Integrative Förderung auf „tadschikisch“: Früher wurden behinderte Kinder in Tadschikistan oft als "eine Strafe Gottes" angesehen. Man versteckte sie oder brachte sie in staatliche Heime. Heute werden sie mehr und mehr in die Gesellschaft integriert und individuell gefördert. Wie an dieser Schule für behinderte und nichtbehinderte Kinder in Duschanbe. Und davon profitieren alle Beteiligten. Mehr zum Projekt: x.caritas.ch/tadschikistan. (Bild: Pia Zanetti)
École intégrative à Douchanbé : Au Tadjikistan, les enfants handicapés étaient considérés comme une punition de Dieu. Les familles les cachaient à la maison ou les plaçaient dans des foyers publics. Aujourd’hui, ils sont mieux intégrés dans la société grâce aux écoles intégratives, où des élèves handicapés et non handicapés partagent les bancs d’écoles et s’entraident. Chacun apprend de l’autre et tous en profitent. Plus sur le projet : x.caritas.ch/tadjikistan. (Photo : Pia Zanetti)
Children display crudely lettered signs calling for segregated schools as they pose across the street from the Supreme Court Building in Washington, Oct. 7, 1954.
One sign reads: "We Whites want our rights."
The children were demonstrating against attending District of Columbia schools along with black children.
Students at several schools staged strikes and demonstrations against integration. The most serious incidents occurred at Anacostia High School where a gang of white students chased newly admitted black students, staged a school boycott and marched through the city attempting to gain support from other schools.
The District’s integration took place following the Supreme Court’s Bolling v. Sharpe decision in May 1954 that was brought about by the Consolidated Parents Group. Consolidated represented parents and students living along the Benning Road corridor and led a seven year fight that began with a boycott of deplorable conditions at the all black Browne Junior High on Benning Road.

Die SPD-Bundestagsabgeordnete Karin Roth und der SPD-Arbeitskreis Integration luden nach Plochingen in die Räume des Deutsch-Türkischen islamischen Kulturzentrums ATIB zu einer Veranstaltung zum Thema Integration von Jugendlichen ein.
Viele interessante Referenten gaben einen Einblick in die Berufswelt und die Chancen, die Jugendliche mit Migrationshintergrund auf dem Arbeitsmarkt haben. Attila Simsek (AK Integration) gab eingangs einen Überblick über die Situation der Migranten in Deutschland. Er forderte, die Potenziale zu nutzen und zu fördern. Für die Zukunft ist eine qualifizierte Generation Voraussetzung für neue Ideen und die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit der Wirtschaft. Mehmet Celehi (Jugendsprecher der ATIB) motivierte die 80 Zuhörer, sich in die deutsche Gesellschaft ein zu bringen und sich zu engagieren. Hayal Ayik von der Kinder und Jugendförderung Ostfildern kritisierte das deutsche Bildungssystem als sozial selektiv und undurchlässig. Gleichzeitig appellierte sie an die Eltern, sich über das deutsche Bildungssystem zu informieren und ihren Kindern aktiv zu helfen, was im nächsten Vortrag auch gleich thematisiert wurde. Markus Knorpp von der Bundesagentur für Arbeit führte auf deutsch und türkisch in das deutsche Bildungssystem ein. Er erläuterte Möglichkeiten wie den zweiten Bildungsweg und wie man mit einem Hauptschulabschluss auch zu einem Studium kommen kann. Daniel Spieler vom Berufsausbildungszentrum motivierte die Jugendlichen, sich noch zu bewerben, anstatt auf nächstes Jahr zu warten und gab hierfür praktische Hinweise. Außerdem stellte er den Wert eines berufsvorbereitenden Jahres heraus.
Dr. Hakan Ispaylar, Geschäftsführer eines schwäbischen Unternehmens, motivierte die Jugendlichen, an seinem eigen Werdegang ein Beispiel zu nehmen. „Sich nicht entmutigen zu lassen, sich reinzuhängen“ und es ihm gleich zu tun, da Bildung gerade in einer globalisierten Welt immer wichtiger werde.
Karin Roth, die durch den Abend führte, machte deutlich, wie wichtig – auch für deutsche Kinder – ein anderes Bildungssystem sei. Gemeinsam länger lernen, Ganztagsschulen und Förderung statt Auslese seien die Ziele der SPD. Deshalb müsse in Baden-Württemberg vor allem eine Bildungsreform her, die Chancengleichheit ermögliche. Dies sei auch eine notwendige Voraussetzung für bessere Ausbildung bis hin zum Studium ohne Studiengebühren. „Die Vielfalt der Kulturen ist eine Bereicherung für unsere Gesellschaft. Es liegt an uns, das beste daraus zu machen!“, so Karin Roth abschließend.

Over the past three decades, Europe and the United States have made extraordinary progress toward the goal of a Europe “whole and free.” But Europe’s future is, once again, troubled and uncertain. European integration and reform are deeply contested, with Brexit still unresolved. As last month’s European Parliament elections demonstrate, nationalist and populist parties are here to stay, while the centrist majority has fragmented. Meanwhile, the Trump administration has actively sought to disrupt the European project. All of this occurs against the backdrop of an international system that is increasingly competitive and multipolar.
On June 13, the Brookings Institution held two panels to discuss these topics. The first looked at competing visions for Europe’s future. The second looked ahead to 2021 and asked if we can expect the trans-Atlantic relationship to be characterized by disagreements over defense spending, the Middle East, energy, and trade or if deeper cooperation on the international order is possible. Participants included Brookings scholars Célia Belin, Victoria Nuland, Alina Polyakova, Amanda Sloat, Constanze Stelzenmüller, and Thomas Wright, as well as Benjamin Haddad of the Atlantic Council, Walter Russell Mead of the Hudson Institute, Yascha Mounk of the SNF Agora Institute, and Edward Luce of the Financial Times.
This event was part of the Brookings – Robert Bosch Foundation Transatlantic Initiative, which aims to build up and expand resilient networks and trans-Atlantic activities to analyze and work on issues concerning trans-Atlantic relations and social cohesion in Europe and the United States.
