La chiesa di Santa Caterina si caratterizza per le sue forme rinascimentali, che richiamano le opere ben più note del Brunelleschi e del Bramante. La sua pianta è ottagonale e nella sua parte inferiore tradisce l'incompiutezza dell'edificio, la cui realizzata è stata piuttosto travagliata. La sua struttura è anche un rimando alle tondeggianti costruzioni classiche.
Il progetto iniziale della chiesa di Santa Caterina è dell'architetto Giovanni Del Fantasia, che avvia i lavori nel 1720. Tuttavia nel corso degli anni si succedono vicende che vedono cambiare spesso la direzione. Dopo l'abbandono del suo primo progettista, si sono alternati alla guida della costruzione Alessandro Saller nel 1729, Giovanni Masini nel 1739 e l'architetto Ruggieri nel 1746. La lanterna posta sulla sommità della cupola risale invece al 1869, realizzata da Dario Giacomelli.
All'interno della chiesa si possono ammirare un dipinto del Vasari e gli affreschi settecenteschi del Terreni e del Traballesi. La tela del Vasari è posta dietro l'altare maggiore e rappresenta l'Incoronazione della Vergine. Sopra di essa campeggia il "Padre Eterno in Gloria", realizzato dal Traballesi nel 1758. I lavori del Terreni sono invece nella cappella della Madonna del Rosario, dove si può ammirare anche un presepe ligneo di Cesare Tarrini.
A partire dal XVIII secolo si è affiancato alla chiesa un convento dei frati domenicani, finito di realizzare nel 1710. L'ordine è stato soppresso per ben due volte nel 1785 e nel 1808, in seguito all'editto napoleonico con il quale si dispone lo scioglimento di tutte le congregazioni religiose. Nel periodo di occupazione francese, prima che il Granduca lo restituisse ai domenicani nel 1817, il monastero è stato adibito a carcere.

The church of Santa Caterina is characterized by its Renaissance appearance that recall the most known works carried out by the Brunelleschi and by the Bramante. It has an octagonal plant and it reveals that the building was unfinished since its carrying out had been quite difficult. Its structure also recalls the circular classical constructions.
The architect Giovanni Del Fantasia carried out the original plan of the church of Santa Caterina and he started works in 1720. Nevertheless, many facts that caused a change in the people directing the works occurred in the years.
After its first planner abandoned the works, Alessandro Saller, in 1729, Giovanni Masini, in 1739 and the Architect Ruggieri, in 1746, alternated in directing the construction. Instead, the lantern set on top of the dome, realized by Dario Giacomelli, dates to 1869.
A painting by Vasari and the XVIII-century frescoes by Terreni and Traballesi can be admired inside the church. Vasari's canvas is set behind the high altar and represents the "Incoronazione della Vergine". Above it, there is the "Padre Eterno in Gloria", carried out by Travallesi in 1758. Instead, Terreni's works are in the chapel of the Madonna del Rosario where also a wooden crèche by Cesare Tarrini can be admired.
Since the XVIII century, a new convent of the Dominican friars, that was finished in 1710, flanked the church. The order was suppressed twice, in 1785 and in 1808, after an edict issued by Napoleon through which the disappearance of all the religious congregations had been settled. In the period of the French occupation, before the Grand Duke gave it back to the Dominicans in 1817, the monastery became a prison.

My son and I went for a trip to the Käringboda nature reserve outside Nynäshamn, Sweden, with the goal of finding and photographing a male European stag beetle (Lucanus cervus) back in mid-July of 2020.
This was quite the success as we located one of the great old oaks they were supposedly found in and in less than a minute, this male came walking down the trunk of the tree and let us photograph it!
Despite looking like they could give you a nasty bite, the huge mandibles of the male can't really pinch. Instead, they are designed to fling competing males out of the tree when they battle for the females. Ironically, the significantly saller females are much more prone to bite you.

Digging in the archive I came across this reject from a Macro Mondays Theme from June 2020, 'smaller than a coin'
My days of railway modelling is so far in the past, that it took me quite a while to remember that Saller is the manufacturer of this small, pre-bulldog Lanz HL.

German actor Carl Clewing (1884-1954) was a popular German stage actor and an opera singer, the composer of the song Alle Tage ist kein Sonntag (Not every day is a Sunday), and a music professor in Berlin. During the years of German early cinema he was in demand as film actor.
Theodor Rudolph Carl Clewing was born in 1884 in Schwerin, Germany. His father was the owner of an apothecary. Clewing studied in Prague. From 1909 he was an actor in Berlin and he was appointed Royal Court actor in 1911. In the same year, Clewing also made his debut as a film actor in Der fremde Vogel/The Strange Bird (Urban Gad, 1911) starring Hans Mierendorff and Asta Nielsen. In the next years followed roles in productions like Ein Sommernachtstraum in unserer Zeit (Stellan Rye, 1913) based on motives of William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night's Dream, the fantasy Der Ring des schwedischen Reiters/The ring of the Swedish riders (Stellan Rye, 1913), and Der Flug in die Sonne/The flight into the sun (Stellan Rye, 1914). On stage, Clewing was popular in his performance of Ibsen's Peer Gynt, which he staged in 1914, 1915, 1916 and 1919, all at the Köngliches Schauspielhaus in Berlin (from 1919: Staatstheater). At all years, Paula Conrad played Aase, while Helene Thimig played Solveig in 1914-1915.
At the outbreak of the First World War, Clewing announced himself voluntarily, and during the war he was repeatedly distinguished and promoted to lieutenant. Apparently, he managed to continue to act on stage and on screen too, e.g. acting in the Lotte Neumann film Die Richterin (Paul von Woringen, 1917). After the war, he was again active in Berlin as a stage and opera star, but also as a film actor. Among his films were the crime drama Whitechapel (Ewald André Dupont 1920) with Hans Mierendorff and Grit Hagasa, and Ernst Lubitsch’s classic Sumurun (1920), in which Ewing played the young Sheik. His final film was Das Floß der Toten/The raft of the dead (Carl Boese, 1920) with Aud Egede Nissen. In 1922 he became a guest lecturer and professor at the State Conservatory of the Hochschule für Staats- & Wirtschaftswissenschaften in Detmold . In the autumn of 1922, he had a commitment as a hero to the Staatsoper Berlin. In 1924-1925 he performed at the Bayreuth Festival and sang Walter von Stolzing and the Parsifal. In December 1928 he was appointed extraordinary professor for singing, vocal training and practical phonetics at the University of Music in Vienna.
At the beginning of 1931 Carl Clewing moved back to Germany and was appointed professor at the Staatliche Hochschule für Musik in Berlin, and at the same time he was a representative of the Cooperative of German Stage Artists in the School of the German Stage Society, as well as a member of the Berlin Opera and Opera, and moved to Berlin-Lichterfelde-Ost.
After Adolf Hitler's rise to power, Clewing was a member of the NSDAP, the SA, and the SS. However, he was expelled in 1934, because he had concealed his ‘non-Aryan slippage’ and his former affiliation to a Masonic lodge. In 1935 he composed the Schlager Alle Tage ist kein Sonntag. In the second half of the 1930s, Clewing, who was also a passionate hunter and collector of hunting culture, was entrusted by Hermann Göring, the Reichsjägermeister, to issue the series of monuments of German hunting culture. The first volume appeared as early as 1937, as well as a folk edition of 100 huntsmen and a songbook of the Luftwaffe. During this time he also developed a small form of the Fürst-Pless-Horn, which is also called Clewing's Taschenjagdhorn. In May 1939 he returned as an opera singer. In the same year, he wrote a cantata on the birth of Edda Goering. After the Second World War he lived in the sanatorium in Glotterbad near Freiburg im Breisgau and spent his retirement in the health resort Dr. Saller in Badenweiler. In 1923, Clewing married Elisabeth (Else) née Mulert, adopted Arnhold, widowed Kunheim. They divorced in 1940, and had a son, Carl Peter (1924-1943, fallen at Salerno). Carl Clewing passed away in Badenweiler, Baden-Württemberg, Germany in 1954.

---------------------------
Blond or blonde, or fair hair, is a hair color characterized by low levels of the dark pigment eumelanin. The resultant visible hue depends on various factors, but always has some sort of yellowish color. The color can be from the very pale blond (caused by a patchy, scarce distribution of pigment) to reddish "strawberry" blond colors or golden-brownish ("sandy") blond colors (the latter with more eumelanin). On the Fischer–Saller scale blond color ranges from A to J (blond brown).
The word "blond" is first attested in English in 1481 and derives from Old French blund, blont meaning "a colour midway between golden and light chestnut". It gradually eclipsed the native term "fair", of same meaning, from Old English fæger, causing "fair" later to become a general term for "light complexioned". This earlier use of "fair" survives in the proper name Fairfax, from Old English fæger-feahs meaning "blond hair".
The French (and thus also the English) word "blond" has two possible origins. Some linguists[citation needed] say it comes from Medieval Latin blundus, meaning "yellow", from Old Frankish blund which would relate it to Old English blonden-feax meaning "grey-haired", from blondan/blandan meaning "to mix" (Cf. blend). Also, Old English beblonden meant "dyed" as ancient Germanic warriors were noted for dying their hair. However, linguists who favor a Latin origin for the word say that Medieval Latin blundus was a vulgar pronunciation of Latin flavus, also meaning yellow. Most authorities, especially French, attest the Frankish origin. The word was reintroduced into English in the 17th century from French, and was for some time considered French; in French, "blonde" is a feminine adjective; it describes a woman with blond hair.
By the early 1990s, "blonde moment" or being a "dumb blonde" had come into common parlance to mean "an instance of a person, esp. a woman... being foolish or scatter-brained.

The history of the sanctuary and parish Mariahilf
The beginnings of Mariahilf
Since the cemetery of Hofpfarre (Court Parish) St. Michael - it was too close to the Imperial Palace - in 1508 had to be abandoned due to an imperial command, a new location outside the city walls and the glacis - served as a military parade and defense area - was searched. Only in 1656 could a vineyard in Ried "Schoeff" at the black cross in front of the Widmertor - the present castle gate - to be purchased for the new cemetery.
This Ried "Schoeff" stretched from Widmertor on the slopes of the left bank of Vienna (very small river Wienfluss) to Penzing. Here flourished a famous and popular type of wine, "the Gumpendorfer".
The first cemetery chapel
Picture of grace. At the highest point of this hill a small wooden cemetery chapel was built, that together with the cemetery on 19 April in 1660 was consecrated by Bishop Philipp Friedrich von Breuner. The only decoration of this humble chapel was that of the Barnabitenmönch (monch of the Barnabites) Don Celestine Joanelli - see today's Joanelligasse - donated miraculous image "Mariahülf ", which soon became the destination of many pilgrims from Vienna and the surrounding area.
This representation of Mary is a replica of the miraculous image on Mariahilferberg near Passau, which again is a copy of the miraculous image in the parish church at Innsbruck. All three images, the story tells of miraculous powers. In many "miracle books" - partly till today in Mariahilfer library preserved - is reported about miraculous healings.
The pilgrimages became more and more intense and so the Barnabites were forced to build in the years 1668 and 1669 a stone chapel, including residential buildings for the priests.
In the second Turkish siege of Vienna in 1683, the buildings were destroyed, but the picture of grace in time could be brought to safety by the then sexton Eduard Lampel within the city walls.
The new church
Due to popular demand for the miraculous image, the many pilgrimages and the non-successful floor plan of the building was from 1711 according to the plans of Franziskus Jänckl - a student and construction supervisor of Lukas von Hildebrandt - the church, using part of the existing foundation walls, in its present form built. 1714 choral parts were rebuilt and the nave erected, in 1715 were the towers of the west front - facing the present Mariahilferstraße - ready in shell (2nd construction periode). In the 3rd construction periode 1721-1726 the towers were covered with copper and decorated the west facade with statues and reliefs of J. Jacob and Ignatius Gunst.
A drawing of Salamon Kleiner from 1724 shows the general impression at that time.

Pilgrimages to the holy image of Mariahilf
To get a feel for the intensity of the pilgrimage tradition at this time, some numbers from 1733: 97 692 people received the Holy Communion, 20,000 Holy Masses were celebrated this year in Mariahilf.
The Empress Maria Theresa made a pilgrimage to Mariahilf to ask Our Lady for her intercession. The Chronicle reported that, during the three Masses, those she here attended sequentially, she a quarter hour lying on the ground here prayed and wept.
These and other notable historical documentations can be found until the middle of the 19th Century in the "Akta" of the parish Mariahilf, which can be looked-up in our library.
In the years 1805, 1809 and 1813 during the Napoleonic war took place enormous state processions with up to 90,000 participants to Mariahilf.
Many Viennese suburb and suburban communities pilgrimaged here every year for centuries to pray, to take their concerns to Mary and to obtain a plenary indulgence, under certain specified conditions. Some parishes in Vienna and Lower Austria come even today annually to the miraculous image "pilgrimaging".
In the years 1760 - 100th anniversary, 1860 - 200th anniversary of the mounting of the miraculous image, 1910 - 250 anniversary celebration and 1960 to the 300th recurrence of this event took place festivities lasting for days, the, as the chronicle reported, especially in the years 1760 and 1860 not only religious contents had but also secular celebrations were.
Ultimately led all these conditions and events to the consequence that until now the 6th District of Vienna is called Mariahilf and probably the largest shopping street in Vienna Mariahilferstraße.
The religious communities of Mariahilf
The Barnabitenorden (Barnabite Order) oversaw the parish, which in the meantime from 1722 was also the provost until 1920. From 1920-1923 diocesan priests worked here until church and parsonage were transferred to the Order of Salvatorianer. These were active here until 1997 and had to give up for lack of personnel and financial reasons this location. Subsequently transferred the Archdiocese of Vienna to the Polish Order of Michaelites the care of the parish and pilgrimage church.
Architectural and historic preservation measures in recent decades:
In 1960, on the occasion of the 300 year celebrations the partly wooden marble altars - this was quite usual in the Baroque period for cost reasons - new marbled , that is newly painted. In 1950/55 and 1982, the exterior facades of the church were renovated and restored, from 1986 to 1988 the interior of the church was also renovated and restored the frescoes on the ceilings and walls. Solid plaster damage, moister penetration of the masonry and the increasing pollution from the environment made in 2003 a renewed facade repair at the moment on the Western Front and the two church towers, including the statues and reliefs, urgently required to prevent an even greater extent of damage.
Another construction was 2008-2010, being renovated the remaining facade surfaces of the church (both long sides and south side) including sacristy tower and at the parsonage the roadside west facade and the narrow, southern front facing the courtyard. At the parsonage also an extensive roof renovation was necessary.

The historic bell of the Mariahilferkirche - The Schuster Michel
Schuster Michel
After the shoemaker Johann Michael Sailler yet in the previous year had donated a large bell, he gave 1720 again fl 4,000 for a larger bell. This was in the imperial Arsenal by the imperial stucco founder Michael Leopold Heylil casted into tin bronze and weighed 4445 kg with a diameter of 193 cm. On the spot took, took Gottfried Bessel, abbot of Göttweig (Lower Austria), the consecration to the "Blessed Virgin Helper" (ad impositum phenomenon BV Auxiliatricis). It is designed with typical squat baroque style in heavy rib with wide flaring, heavy blow ring carried out and it resounds with massive, very dark basic tone a.
Artistic design of the surface: at the neck (upper edge), a narrow flower frieze, below it then again, broad, by decorative strips edged frieze with rose garlands, enclosed by double trimming elements, the inscription in Roman capitals:
GOSS ME IN LEOPOLD HALIL KAYSERLICHER STVCKGIESSER Wienn 1720 WIGT 7939 PF I AM TO HONOR GOD AND HUMAN SERVICES MANAGEMENT AND READY WHEN I AM (shall) the dead THE TOLL !
The sheath of the bells adorn four cartridges with inscriptions and images: the picture of grace Mariahilf, the Apostle Paul with the sword icon and the founders of the Regular Clerics of the St. Apostle Paul, farther a with an arrow pierced shoe, probably the arms of the founder.
The fourth cartridge contains the chronogram: AVS Dear Rich h MICaeLI Saller generosity Am I AVCH here gehenCket ("from dear rich bounty of the Lord Michael Sailer I 'm also here gehäncket (suspended)"), the capital letters of this inscription constitute the latin number sequence VLIICMICLILLIIIIICVCIC, giving as a result the year 1720.
Schuster Michel
That such a large bell was not so easy to ring by hand and in the course of time were necessary stabilization measures in the belfry, shows an entry in the parish chronicle of 1903: It...."was for the Great Bell "Schuster Michel" of the tower instead of the much more expensive wood helmet an iron belfry .....manufactured, by which the dangers at ringing should be eliminated because now only two men were required to ring the bell and also the vibrations of the whole tower are resolved. "Meant are probably iron bracings and reinforcements in the bell chamber, as the wooden belfry itself continued to remain preserved.
The replacement of the old wooden yoke through a Glockenjoches (bell yoke) of steel followed 1930. When the electrification took place is not documented.
The legend of the "miserly Schuster Michel" was created 1726-1731 and initially referred to a 1719 by the same donor donated, smaller Michael bell. Its defects, which coincided in terms of time with illness and death of the donor, and the in 1731 necessary recast gave this bell a mysterious reputation. As of 1731, hence the name "Michel Schuster" was transferred to the in 1720 also by Michael Sailler donated larger bell. The Michael Bell, however, was later referred to as "Saller-bell" or "Saillerin (Lady Sailler)".
Schuster Michel Schuster Michel
In the heyday (1st half of the 19th century) the Mariahilferkirche was equipped with a total of 8 bells. A detailed Läutordnung (toll regime) already should give the believers acoustically the time and type of worship. The Schuster Michel was rung on the eve before Sundays and public holidays. In the two world wars but in each case bells had to be delivered as war material. 1930 three new bells were still re-purchased, but 1941 the next war took its toll. It remained in the Mariahilferkirche only the historically valuable bell from 1720.
2011: New Patterns for Schuster Michel
Probably 1930, at the Schuster Michel the original wooden yoke was replaced by a steel yoke. These steel suspension proved now but not as convenient, because the ringing of the bell had to be done in a very high Läutwinkel (toll angle). Furthermore, the iron clapper from 1908 was too hard and proportioned wrong and could have hurt the bell. Since the antiquated electric drive, too, was very susceptible to disturbance, the Schuster Michel since Easter 2011 had to be silent.
In order to conserve the Schuster Michel as long as possible, the parish Mariahilf decided to had done some changes. With the renovation work the company Schauer und Sachs from Salzburg was commissioned: The steel yoke was again exchanged with an oak one (approximately 350 kg). As a result, the Läutwinkel (toll angle) could be reduced by 15%. A new round bale clapper, 180 kg, of special steel RSK 100, cast of the company Rosswag in Germany, was installed.
During a small devotion on 25 October 2011, the new clapper was blessed by Father Casimir, before it acceded to the applause of a small crowd of onlookers to the breezy trip to the height on its new location. The unilateral electrical drive has been replaced by an electronic drive with two motors. The screw connections at the belfry were tightened. So the Schuster Michel after a half year break on 28th October 2011 finally could resound again .
The costs for these bell remediations amount to € 20,218.38. Of which bears the parish Mariahilf € 6,803.01. The Federal Monuments Office has a grant of € 5.000, - promised, the rest is pumped in from the Archdiocese of Vienna .

Architectural and historic preservation measures in recent decades:
In 1960, on the occasion of the 300 year celebrations the partly wooden marble altars - this was quite usual in the Baroque period for cost reasons - new marbled , that is newly painted. In 1950/55 and 1982, the exterior facades of the church were renovated and restored, from 1986 to 1988 the interior of the church was also renovated and restored the frescoes on the ceilings and walls. Solid plaster damage, moister penetration of the masonry and the increasing pollution from the environment made in 2003 a renewed facade repair at the moment on the Western Front and the two church towers, including the statues and reliefs, urgently required to prevent an even greater extent of damage.
Another construction was 2008-2010, being renovated the remaining facade surfaces of the church (both long sides and south side) including sacristy tower and at the parsonage the roadside west facade and the narrow, southern front facing the courtyard. At the parsonage also an extensive roof renovation was necessary.

The historic bell of the Mariahilferkirche - The Schuster Michel
Schuster Michel
After the shoemaker Johann Michael Sailler yet in the previous year had donated a large bell, he gave 1720 again fl 4,000 for a larger bell. This was in the imperial Arsenal by the imperial stucco founder Michael Leopold Heylil casted into tin bronze and weighed 4445 kg with a diameter of 193 cm. On the spot took, took Gottfried Bessel, abbot of Göttweig (Lower Austria), the consecration to the "Blessed Virgin Helper" (ad impositum phenomenon BV Auxiliatricis). It is designed with typical squat baroque style in heavy rib with wide flaring, heavy blow ring carried out and it resounds with massive, very dark basic tone a.
Artistic design of the surface: at the neck (upper edge), a narrow flower frieze, below it then again, broad, by decorative strips edged frieze with rose garlands, enclosed by double trimming elements, the inscription in Roman capitals:
GOSS ME IN LEOPOLD HALIL KAYSERLICHER STVCKGIESSER Wienn 1720 WIGT 7939 PF I AM TO HONOR GOD AND HUMAN SERVICES MANAGEMENT AND READY WHEN I AM (shall) the dead THE TOLL !
The sheath of the bells adorn four cartridges with inscriptions and images: the picture of grace Mariahilf, the Apostle Paul with the sword icon and the founders of the Regular Clerics of the St. Apostle Paul, farther a with an arrow pierced shoe, probably the arms of the founder.
The fourth cartridge contains the chronogram: AVS Dear Rich h MICaeLI Saller generosity Am I AVCH here gehenCket ("from dear rich bounty of the Lord Michael Sailer I 'm also here gehäncket (suspended)"), the capital letters of this inscription constitute the latin number sequence VLIICMICLILLIIIIICVCIC, giving as a result the year 1720.
Schuster Michel
That such a large bell was not so easy to ring by hand and in the course of time were necessary stabilization measures in the belfry, shows an entry in the parish chronicle of 1903: It...."was for the Great Bell "Schuster Michel" of the tower instead of the much more expensive wood helmet an iron belfry .....manufactured, by which the dangers at ringing should be eliminated because now only two men were required to ring the bell and also the vibrations of the whole tower are resolved. "Meant are probably iron bracings and reinforcements in the bell chamber, as the wooden belfry itself continued to remain preserved.
The replacement of the old wooden yoke through a Glockenjoches (bell yoke) of steel followed 1930. When the electrification took place is not documented.
The legend of the "miserly Schuster Michel" was created 1726-1731 and initially referred to a 1719 by the same donor donated, smaller Michael bell. Its defects, which coincided in terms of time with illness and death of the donor, and the in 1731 necessary recast gave this bell a mysterious reputation. As of 1731, hence the name "Michel Schuster" was transferred to the in 1720 also by Michael Sailler donated larger bell. The Michael Bell, however, was later referred to as "Saller-bell" or "Saillerin (Lady Sailler)".

In the heyday (1st half of the 19th century) the Mariahilferkirche was equipped with a total of 8 bells. A detailed Läutordnung (toll regime) already should give the believers acoustically the time and type of worship. The Schuster Michel was rung on the eve before Sundays and public holidays. In the two world wars but in each case bells had to be delivered as war material. 1930 three new bells were still re-purchased, but 1941 the next war took its toll. It remained in the Mariahilferkirche only the historically valuable bell from 1720.
2011: New Patterns for Schuster Michel
Probably 1930, at the Schuster Michel the original wooden yoke was replaced by a steel yoke. These steel suspension proved now but not as convenient, because the ringing of the bell had to be done in a very high Läutwinkel (toll angle). Furthermore, the iron clapper from 1908 was too hard and proportioned wrong and could have hurt the bell. Since the antiquated electric drive, too, was very susceptible to disturbance, the Schuster Michel since Easter 2011 had to be silent.
In order to conserve the Schuster Michel as long as possible, the parish Mariahilf decided to had done some changes. With the renovation work the company Schauer und Sachs from Salzburg was commissioned: The steel yoke was again exchanged with an oak one (approximately 350 kg). As a result, the Läutwinkel (toll angle) could be reduced by 15%. A new round bale clapper, 180 kg, of special steel RSK 100, cast of the company Rosswag in Germany, was installed.
During a small devotion on 25 October 2011, the new clapper was blessed by Father Casimir, before it acceded to the applause of a small crowd of onlookers to the breezy trip to the height on its new location. The unilateral electrical drive has been replaced by an electronic drive with two motors. The screw connections at the belfry were tightened. So the Schuster Michel after a half year break on 28th October 2011 finally could resound again .
The costs for these bell remediations amount to € 20,218.38. Of which bears the parish Mariahilf € 6,803.01. The Federal Monuments Office has a grant of € 5.000, - promised, the rest is pumped in from the Archdiocese of Vienna .
