The Art of the Viennese Watercolor
Till 13. May 2018
Transparent lightness, brilliant colours, and a generally atmospheric impression are the special qualities of 19th-century Viennese watercolor painting. Virtuosic city views and landscapes, detail-rich portraits, genre paintings, and floral works comprise the rich motivic repertoire featured in this glorious blossoming of Austrian art.
The Viennese watercolor’s heyday was the Biedermeier era: Jakob Alt, Matthäus Loder, Thomas Ender, and Peter Fendi number among its most important artistic figures.
Likewise outstanding are the exquisite works by Rudolf von Alt from his over 70-year career. His masterful watercolours run from the Biedermeier era all the way to the rise of the Secession movement around 1900.
This exhibition presents a veritable parade of exceptionally beautiful pictures, including the ALBERTINA’s own treasures as well as important loan works, all of which pay impressive tribute to the high standing of the Viennese watercolor in the context of 19th century art.

The Albertina
The architectural history of the Palais
"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".

Meersburg (German: [ˈmeːɐ̯sˌbʊʁk] (About this soundlisten)) is a town in Baden-Württemberg in the southwest of Germany. It is on Lake Constance. Vineyards, Meersburg, Lake Constance and Alps File:Meersburg2010Video.ogv Meersburg 2010
It is known for its medieval city. The lower town ("Unterstadt") and upper town ("Oberstadt") are reserved for pedestrians only, and connected by two stairways and a steep street ("Steigstrasse"). The name of the town means "Castle on the Sea", referring to a castle which, according to a tradition from 1548, was built here in 630 by the Merovingian king Dagobert I. The commune obtained the status of free city in 1299, though nominally still under the Bishop of Constance. In 1803 it was annexed to the Land of Baden.
After World War II, Meersburg was in the French military occupation area in Germany. The town is home to two castles, the Old Castle and the New Castle. The Old Castle, built by Merovingian King Dagobert I in the seventh century, is one of the oldest surviving castles in Germany. It is in private ownership. A self-guided tour is available. German poet Annette von Droste-Hülshoff lived there for eight years and purchased the Prince's House. The New Castle was built in the eighteenth century. Originally the residence of the bishop of Constance, it was used for various purposes after the Secularization of 1803. It is now a museum. There is also an expanse of half-timbered houses, and two medieval town gates, which are the remains of the fortification. The Meersburg vineyards at the northern banks of Lake Constance are famous within Germany. The rosée "Weissherbst" wine is a specialty of the region.

Meersburg ist eine Kleinstadt im baden-württembergischen Bodenseekreis. Sie liegt zwischen Friedrichshafen und Überlingen. Meersburg liegt am nördlichen Ufer des Bodensees, am Übergang vom Obersee zum Überlinger See auf einer Höhe von 400 bis 500 Metern. Allein zwischen Unter- und Oberstadt besteht ein Höhenunterschied von 40 Metern. Die Burg Meersburg geht vielleicht auf eine merowingische Befestigung am Fähr-Übergang der wichtigen Straßenverbindung von Oberschwaben über Konstanz nach Rätien zurück. Die Königsburg, zu der vermutlich bereits eine kleine Siedlung gehörte, war seit der Mitte des 11. Jahrhunderts in der Hand von königlichen Lehnsträgern, die sich nach ihr nannten, und ging dann in den Besitz der Bischöfe von Konstanz über, die es als Lehen an die Grafen von Rohrdorf ausgaben. Aus dieser Zeit stammen wohl auch die ältesten erhaltenen Teile des Baus. 1071 wurde Mersburg urkundlich erwähnt; 1113 der adelige Liopoldus de Merdespurch, 1142 Mercesburc. Nach dem Aussterben der Grafen 1210 blieben Burg und Siedlung von 1211 bis 1802 im unmittelbaren Besitz des Bischofs. Der 1268 in Neapel hingerichtete letzte Stauferkönig Konradin hatte zuvor mehrere Jahre in der Burg Meersburg seines Onkels, des Bischofs von Konstanz, verbracht.
Die Siedlung entwickelte sich zunächst vor allem oberhalb der Burg, im Bereich der späteren Oberstadt, die 1233 Marktrecht, vor 1260 eine Mauer und 1299 unter dem Konstanzer Bischof Heinrich von Klingenberg das Stadtrecht nach Ulmer Vorbild erhielt. Im selben Jahr wurde die unterhalb der Burg gelegene Siedlung am Seeufer durch Aufschüttung erweitert, so dass Raum für einen großen Marktplatz und für die Erweiterung der Siedlung zur Unterstadt entstand.
Bei der Wahl eines neuen Bischofs wollten Domkapitel und Kaiser unterschiedliche Personen mit dem Amt betrauen. Während der „Bischofsfehde“ im Jahr 1334 wurde die Stadt vom Reichsheer des Kaisers Ludwig der Bayer mit Feuergeschützen erfolglos belagert.[7]
Auseinandersetzungen der Bürgerschaft mit dem Stadtherren Bischof Heinrich IV. von Hewen um die freiere Ausgestaltung der Stadtverfassung durch „Stadtrechtskämpfe“ endeten 1458 mit der Rückkehr des Bischofs auf die Burg und der Niederlage der Bürger. Der Bürgermeister Simon Weinzürn wurde als Wortführer des Protestes 1461 ohne richterliches Urteil im Bodensee ertränkt.[8] Ein Konstanzer Chronist schildert die Tötung Weinzürns so:
„Da sich kein Nachrichter fand, der ihn ohne richterliches Urteil hinrichten wollte, führte man ihn in einem Schiff hinaus auf den See. Hier musste er sich außerhalb des Schiffs auf ein (über den Bordrand gelegtes) Brett setzen, während der bischöfliche Vogt sich innerhalb setzte. An tiefer Stelle angelangt, stand der letzterer dann auf und der letzte fiel mit dem Brett in den See und ertrank.“
– Beschreibung des Christoph Schulthaiss († 1584) in der Konstanzer Chronik über die Ermordung von Simon Weinzürn, übersetzt ins Hochdeutsche. Sekundärquelle Internetseite Meersburg[9]
Das Amt des Bürgermeisters von Meersburg wurde abgeschafft.[10][11] Simon Weinzürn war der erste Bewohner des heute Hotel Weinstube Löwen genannten Gebäudes am Marktplatz.[12]
1509 wurde das Alte Schloss ausgebaut und in der Unterstadt der Getreidespeicher („Gredhaus“) sowie der Hafen gebaut. Im Jahr 1526 siedelte der bischöfliche Hof des Bischofs Hugo von Hohenlandenberg ins Alte Schloss von Meersburg über, weil sich Konstanz als Freie Reichsstadt 1519/1523 der Reformation angeschlossen hatte. Meersburg hingegen lag im Territorium des Hochstifts Konstanz, wo die Fürstbischöfe zugleich Landesherren waren und die weltliche Macht ausübten.[13] So fand am 10. Mai 1527 auch der Prozess gegen den evangelisch gesinnten Sernatinger Frühmessner (Pfarrer) Johann Hüglin in Meersburg statt, ebenso dessen anschließende Hinrichtung. Meersburg blieb weiterhin bischöfliche Residenz, als Konstanz wieder katholisch wurde. 1575 wurde das Amt des Bürgermeisters in Meersburg wieder eingeführt. Die Pestepidemien des 16. Jahrhunderts im Bodenseeraum erfassten in den Jahren 1529, 1575, 1588, 1595 und 1611/12 auch Meersburg.[14]
Im Dreißigjährigen Krieg von 1618 bis 1648 plünderten Schweden und Württemberger Meersburg (siehe Seekrieg auf dem Bodensee 1632–1648). Durch die Pest in den Jahren 1635/36 und 1646 schrumpfte die Meersburger Bevölkerung auf ein Sechstel. An diese Zeit erinnert der Fasnachtsbrauch des „Schnabelgiere“ sowie die „Gesellschaft der Hundertein Bürger“. Ein Gedenkstein an Kaspar Miller, den Meersburger Pestarzt, der selber an der Pest starb befindet sich an der Ostseite der Stadtkirche.[15][16]
Die Burg Meersburg war bis zur Fertigstellung des Neuen Schlosses 1750 ständiger Wohnsitz des Konstanzer Bischofs. Vor allem das 18. Jahrhundert prägte mit dem Bau aus Neuem Schloss (ab 1710–1712), Priesterseminar (1725/29–34) und Reit- oder Stallhof (um 1760) das barocke Panorama Meersburgs am Steilufer zum Bodensee („Seefassade auf dem Meersburger Höhenrücken“).[13]
Kardinal Franz Konrad von Rodt und sein Nachfolger (und Bruder) Maximilian Christoph von Rodt residierten bereits im Neuen Schloss. Im Herbst 1802 besetzten zwei markgräfliche Kommissare mit 100 Mann eines Rastatter Füsilierbataillons Meersburg. Durch Anschlag wurde verkündet, dass Markgraf Karl von Baden nun zuständig sei. Der Konstanzer Fürstbischof Karl Theodor von Dalberg in Konstanz wurde zwei Wochen vorher in Kenntnis gesetzt.[17] Meersburg blieb Residenz des Bischofs bis zur Aufhebung des Bistums 1803.
Thomas Warndorf weist darauf hin, dass die amtierenden Fürstbischöfe sich durch die Familiensitze ihrer Vorfahren, durch Sommersitze, durch die Konstanzer kirchlichen Einrichtungen, durch die weiteren Besitztümer im Hochstift Konstanz sowie durch finanzielle Engpässe nicht dauerhaft in Meersburg aufhielten.
Die Meersburger Fasnacht wurde im 14. und 15. Jahrhundert in Urkunden erwähnt. Zwischen der Großen Konstanzer Narrengesellschaft Niederburg e. V. von 1884 und der Narrenzunft Schnabelgiere Meersburg e. V. besteht ein freundschaftlicher Austausch.[71] Bei der Seegfrörne von 1963 wurde er mit einem Pokal besiegelt, der am 3. März 1963 von den Konstanzern über den zugefrorenen See nach Meersburg getragen wurde. Bei der nächsten Seegfrörne wird er wieder nach Konstanz gebracht.[72]
Der Narrenruf ist „Ho Narro!“. Besondere Veranstaltungen sind:
Narrebomm setzen: Am Sonntag vor Fastnachtssonntag wird ein etwa 30 Meter langer Nadelbaum (Narrenbaum) zunächst durch die Stadt gezogen und schließlich von Zimmerleuten durch Hebelkraft auf dem Marktplatz beim Rathaus aufgerichtet. Mutige Kinder versuchen den glatten Stamm zu erklimmen bis zu einem hoch oben hängenden grünen Kranz. Von diesem Kranz reißen sie einige der dort befestigten Lebensmittel ab, werfen sie in die Menge und behalten einige für sich. Dieser Brauch ist auf die 1920er Jahre zurückzuführen.[73]
Katzemusik: Am frühen Morgen des Schmotzge Dunschtig zieht eine Schar Jugendlicher durch die Stadt und weckt die Bewohner durch dumpfe rhythmische Klopf-Geräusche, die durch das Aneinanderschlagen von Topfdeckeln und anderen Blechutensilien erzeugt werden. Dieser Brauch und der Hemdglonkerumzug wurden 1900 eingeführt.[74]
Schnabelgiere-Umzug: Am Nachmittag des Schmotzge Dunschtig zieht der Schnabelgiere, eine als weißer Vogel mit rotem Schnabel verkleidete Person, durch die Stadt und teilt an die ihn umringenden Kinder Esswaren aus einem umgeschnallten Weidenkorb aus. Der Korb wird entlang der Route fortlaufend mit neuen Gaben bestückt. Die Kinder müssen „Schnabel-, Schnabel-, Giere“ rufen. Sie werden, falls sie zu leise rufen oder sich vordrängen, von zwei als Domino schwarz gekleideten und maskierten Helfern mit luftgefüllten Saublotern (Schweineblasen) an Stöcken geschlagen. Ab 1936 erhielt der Schnabelgiere nach einer Idee von Karl Moll/Willy Seilnacht ein weißes Gewand, in den Zeiten davor war er dunkel gekleidet. In der Winzergasse unterhalb der katholischen Stadtkirche befindet sich seit dem 2. Februar 1964 mit dem Schnabelgiere-Brunnen des Meersburger Künstlers Berti Brandes mit Schnabelgiere, Korb, Domino und Kindern eine würdigende Darstellung.[75][76] Eine ähnlich gekleidete Figur wurde von Paul Fürst als Pestdoktor in seiner Schutzkleidung dokumentiert.[77] Die Figur der Meersburger Burghexe wurde 1995 von der Narrenzunft Schnabelgiere geschaffen.[78]
Hemmedglonker-Umzug: Am Abend des Schmotzge Dunschtig führt ein Umzug von Meersburgern im weißen langen Nachthemd mit Fackeln durch die Stadt. Dieser Brauch wurde im Jahr 1900 vom damaligen Schüler und späteren Bürgermeister Karl Moll aus Konstanz mitgebracht. Zwei übergroße Hemdglonkerpuppen (Mädle fünf Meter groß und Bue sieben Meter hoch) werden mitgetragen. Zum Abschluss wird am Schnabelgiere-Brunnen in der Winzergasse vom Hemdglonkerkönig, einem Meersburger Abiturienten, gekennzeichnet durch Mollkopf (Moll als Schwellkopf), eine humorige Glonkerrede in alemannisch über die Begebenheiten des vergangenen Jahres in Meersburg gehalten.[79]
Hänsele-Treiben: Beim Fasnet-Treiben (Fastnacht) sind diese Gestalten mit Ganzkörper-Anzügen aus schuppenförmigen Stoffstücken verkleidet und vermummt. Sie bewegen sich hüpfend und johlend in Gruppen. Das Kostüm stammt aus der Zeit um 1790 und wurde nach Zeiten des Verbietens und Vergessens dieser Vermummung 1951 wieder eingeführt. Zu den Hänsele gehört das Karbatschen-Schnellen, das Lärmerzeugen durch das Schwingen mit einem drei bis vier Meter langen Seil an einem Holzstiel, und die Holzpritsche zum geräuschvollen „Schlagen“ auf die Schulter.

The garish signs appeared in early 2011, not exactly in keeping with the moorland environment, but presumably associated with liability insurance. The post box arrived in July 2011 - attachment of a post box to a property is often used as a strategy relating to claiming ownership/change of use. Of course, the addition may be completely innocent.
2016 Update: this set charts the demolition of the Baildon Moor Reservoirs which began in 2012. Most of the set is from the first stage of demolition, with a further period of activity in late 2013 when the stone linings were removed. In 14-15 a little wildness returned to the site as represented by nesting Oystercatchers. As of early 2016 what remained of the reservoirs is being infilled as the site is prepared for some sort of development. As this is mostly a legacy set I suggest you consult local media for more recent news, for example Bradford T&A has covered the story.
2013 update: work resumed (October 2013) on the significant demolition activity on the historic Baildon Moor reservoir site. All of the reservoirs have essentially been demolished, with the lining stone being stripped out for reuse. Further clearing of vegetation took place, including the attractive patch of heather and bilberry which covered the bank of the bottom reservoir. Given that there is Green Hairstreak butterfly colony a few tens of yards from the reservoir wall, who knows what flora and fauna have been lost. We are left with three large muddy pits, little in the way of vegetation and an increasingly damaged perimeter wall which the owners seem to have given up on. The site is available to let, but one wonders what sort of use might be deemed "suitable" in this moorland environment.
We have made enquiries to the Parish Council and to Friends of Baildon Moor as to what this most recent development activity might be leading towards, as we have been unable to find any development proposals in the public domain. Nobody seems very sure, but the development of fishing lakes has been suggested as one possibility. I have nothing to verify that though.
To me the best two solutions would be either to 1) complete the demolition, remove the boundary wall and return the area to common land with the aid of some ecological restoration, or 2) develop the site as a nature reserve, in a similar way to other post-industrial sites like opencast workings. This latter option could involve development of a wetland (given that the largest areas of open water on the moor have now been lost), perhaps with the sponsorship of some organisation like the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust. I expect the land owner has more economically lucrative aspirations though.
The images in this set do get frequently viewed, and there seems to be no-one else recording the activity, so I'll continue to do so. This is personal activity motivated by my concern for the visual effect on the surrounding moorland environment, damage to the heritage of the area and inappropriate development in a special place. Hopefully the hundreds of other of my images and journal entries that I've made available on Flickr and Blipfoto, of the moor, its wildlife and local heritage stand as some testimony to my long-standing affection for this place.
Background:
In July 2011 contractors moved onto the site of the Baildon Moor Reservoirs and began clearing it of vegetation and knocking through the two lower reservoirs. This came as a surprise to members of the local community and led to widespread concern. It emerged that the actions related to the proposed development of some sort of water-based recreational centre. No planning application had been submitted for the work.
After listening to public concern about the development and the manner in which it was being conducted, Baildon Parish Council issued a statement about the developments which can be viewed here: baildonparishcouncil.gov.uk/website/index.php/doc-remos/M...
After the major ground work had been completed the site went quiet over the winter of 2011/12. The lower two reservoirs refilled, but to such a height that new concerns were expressed, and according to the Friends of Baildon Moor (see minutes of the Feb 2012 Committee Meeting here: baildonmoor.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Feb-... ) the reservoirs were drained, and a civil engineer from Bradford Council has ordered that no further work be done until a full survey had been conducted, and appropriate plans submitted for approval, this justifying some of the initial concerns of residents.
Although this set focuses on the initial stage of clearance, I will update it periodically with any further visible evidence of developments on site.

An international comparison of 40 nations' firearm fatalities (including homicides, suicides, and accidents) to civilian firearm ownership rates yields a statistically significant correlation.
The partisan divide is over interpretation: Gun control advocates say that restricting access to guns lowers the overall rate of traumatic fatalities, whereas gun rights advocates say that violence is the same and only the weapon changes (ie, if there's no gun handy, a killer will find a knife or rock).

Royal Ownership
In 1952 Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother saw the Castle while staying with Commander and Lady Doris Vyner at the House of the Northern Gate on Dunnet Head, a short distance to the west. Despite its poor condition, she purchased it that year and set about renovating and restoring both the Castle and its gardens and policies, which extended to about 30 acres. Her Majesty opened the gardens in aid of the Scotland's Gardens Scheme on three days each year, a tradition which the Trustees still continue. Her Majesty restored the name to the original, 'The Castle of Mey' from Barrogill Castle.
A Royal Residence
Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother spent the last three weeks of August at the Castle, returning for about ten days in October each year.
The Castle of Mey, when purchased in 1952, was surrounded by only 30 acres of parkland or "policies", as they are called. The Castle, gardens and policies were in a poor state and were renovated and restored by Her Majesty between 1953 and 1955. In 1958 the nearby Longoe Farm came on the market and was purchased by Her Majesty.
A Royal Visitor
HRH The Prince Charles, Duke of Rothesay has shown great commitment to furthering the Trust objectives and visits at least once each year, always renting the Castle for a few days in August.

Lamb House is a Grade II listed 18th-century house situated in Rye, East Sussex, England, and in the ownership of the National Trust.
The house is run as a writer's house museum. It was the home of Henry James from 1897 to 1914, and later of E.F. Benson.
Lamb House was built in 1722 by James Lamb, a wealthy wine merchant and local politician. In the winter of 1726 King George I took refuge at the house after his ship was washed ashore at nearby Camber Sands. James Lamb gave up his bedroom for the King, while Mrs Lamb gave birth to a baby boy during the night. The child was named George and the king consented to be the boy's godfather.
A detached Garden Room, with a large bay window overlooking the street, was built at right angles to the house in 1743, and originally served as a banqueting room. Both Henry James and E. F. Benson later used the Garden Room as a base for their writing during the summer months. The Garden Room was destroyed by a German bomb in 1940.
Benson wrote lovingly of both the garden and house, which he renamed "Mallards", in his popular Mapp and Lucia novels.[6] Lamb House is the subject of Joan Aiken's supernatural book The Haunting of Lamb House (1993), comprising three novellas about residents of the house at different times, including James and Benson (both of whom also wrote ghost stories).
Other tenants have included the novelist Rumer Godden, the author and academic A. C. Benson, the author and politician H. Montgomery Hyde, the artist and publisher Sir Brian Batsford, politician William Mabane, 1st Baron Mabane, the literary agent Graham Watson, the actor Dominic Rowan and his family, and the writers John Senior and Sarah Philo.
Rye is a small town and civil parish in the Rother district, in East Sussex, England, two miles from the sea at the confluence of three rivers: the Rother, the Tillingham and the Brede. In medieval times, as an important member of the Cinque Ports confederation, it was at the head of an embayment of the English Channel, and almost entirely surrounded by the sea.
At the 2011 census, Rye had a population of 4,773. Its historical association with the sea has included providing ships for the service of the Crown in time of war, and being involved in smuggling. The notorious Hawkhurst Gang used its ancient inns The Mermaid Inn and The Olde Bell Inn, which are said to be connected to each other by a secret passageway.
Those historic roots and its charm make it a tourist destination, with hotels, guest houses, B&Bs, tea rooms, and restaurants. It has a small fishing fleet, and Rye Harbour has facilities for yachts and other vessels.

KABUL, 6 June 2017 - The Kabul Process organised at the initiative of Afghanistan signals strong ownership of the peace efforts that have implications for both Afghanistan and the region, said the UN Secretary-General’s Special Representative for Afghanistan at today’s ‘Kabul Process on Peace and Security Cooperation’ meeting, where stakeholders from 26 countries and organizations took the opportunity to establish important steps toward cooperation on crucial issues surrounding peace and security, including terrorism.
At the meeting, UNAMA endorsed the ownership taken by the Afghan Government to start a discussion with neighbouring countries about sustained stability in the region, as well as the establishment of the Kabul Process – a forum to increase regional cooperation for peace and stability – and recognized that the gathering sends a strong signal that the international community stands firmly with Afghanistan and its people to seek collective solutions to the current challenges.
“I am encouraged to see the participation of high-level representatives from so many countries, which signifies the solidarity of participating countries with the Afghan people, particularly in the wake of the egregious attacks in Kabul,” said UN envoy Tadamichi Yamamoto, who is also head of the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA).
“It demonstrates the confidence that the international community has in the government and Afghan society at large to find a common vision for countering terrorism and ensuring peace.”
President Ashraf Ghani stated at the opening of the meeting that the gathering will serve to start the difficult process of defining a pathway that can lead to a just peace that ensures stability, security and the rule of law.
The participants strongly supported this vision for peace, and commended it as underlining the principle of inclusion, an important building block for a national peace process.
The conference participants noted that such a process should be embedded in a positive international consensus to bring peace to the country and stability to the wider region.
They also discussed ways to contribute to an Afghan-led and Afghan-owned peace process.
“For the region at large, a stable Afghanistan is more valuable than an Afghanistan at war,” Mr. Yamamoto said, noting that UNAMA offered its full support to the government and its people to invest in comprehensive peace-building efforts to create trust and address the causes of conflict. “The United Nations welcomes the Afghan President’s renewed commitment to a peace process and to starting a national dialogue.”
UNAMA endorsed today’s meeting as laying the foundation for future cooperation among Afghanistan and its neighbouring countries to tackle the complex issue at hand comprehensively. “This newly established framework will provide the forum required through which other related initiatives can contribute and thereby reinforce overall progress toward peace and stability,” said the UN envoy.
In this context, the United Nations maintains that the inclusion of various stakeholders, such as women representatives, civil society organizations, political actors and young Afghans, as well as the promotion of human rights and the protection of civilians, will be a key component of long-term sustainable peace in the country, and welcomes the Afghan Government’s commitments in this regard.

63 Jahre Puch Haflinger (2022)
Einst gefragt bei Militärs, ist die Auto-Ikone aus Graz heute ein begehrtes Sammelobjekt.
Seinen Namen hat er einem österreichischem Offizier zu verdanken. Egon Rudolf, Konstrukteur und später Werksdirektor der Steyr-Daimler-Puch AG, erinnert sich: "Es war bei Erprobungsfahrten mit dem Bundesheer am Schöckel, als ein Offizier aus dem Auto sprang und freudig rief: Der geht ja wie ein Haflinger!"
Die Geburtsstunde schlug dann ein gutes Jahr später auf der Frankfurter IAA, wo der kleine Offroader 1959 erstmals der Öffentlichkeit präsentiert wurde. Vor allem die Militärs aus aller Welt zeigten Interesse am Haflinger. Seine Wendigkeit, das geringe Gewicht (600 kg!) und die schieren Kletterqualitäten machten den mit einem Zweizylinder-Boxermotor bestückten Geländewagen-Zwerg einzigartig. Jenseits der Baumgrenze konnte dem von Erich Ledwinka entwickelten Extrem-Kraxler kein anderes Auto folgen.
Von 1959 bis 1974 wurden in Graz 16.647 Haflinger gebaut, die in 110 Länder exportiert wurden. Allein das Schweizer Militär kaufte 4535 Stück. Sein Einsatzspektrum kannte keine Grenzen: Er löschte Brände, kehrte Strassen, durchquerte Wüsten und erklomm in den Anden 5.680 m hohe Gipfel. Heute ist der Haflinger, der anfangs 35.000 österreichische Schilling kostete, ein begehrtes Sammelobjekt. Sein bestand wird weltweit auf rund 1000 Stück geschätzt, die in zahlreichen Clubs gepflegt werden. Die Preise bewegen sich - je nach Zustand - zwischen 5000 und 15.000 Euro.
Dem Puch Haflinger ist bis Ende September eine Sonderausstellung im österreichischen Motorradmuseum in Eggenburg gewidmet.
