📋 artist(like Gogh, Klimt, Leonardo Da Vinci… you know)

Tbh as much as I like art, I don't really pay attention to artists like Leonardo Da Vinci unless I really need inspo for something. I know of them, I know that they were great artists and some other stuff, but I don't really care to look up stuff unless I have to?

I can't rank artists. But I do have a favorite painting as of right now!

[logi1974]

- English -

The imposing Benrath Palace is located in the south of Düsseldorf, twelve kilometers from the city's former gates and not far from the Rhine.

It´s one of the most beautiful garden castles of the 18th century and one of the most popular sights in Düsseldorf. The pink palace complex with its parks, gardens and facilities is one of the now rare magnificent buildings of the late Rococo.

Visitors can walk in the footsteps of the nobility on a guided tour of the palace, stroll in the artistically and picturesque gardens or visit the museums of garden art and natural history located there.

In 1755, at the behest of Elector Karl Theodor of Palatinate, a baroque palace in the Rococo and Classicist styles was built. Construction took 17 years, from 1756 to 1773.

The architect of the Maison de Plaisance with its spacious gardens was Nicolas de Pigage, the “Director of the Gardens and Water Arts” at the Mannheimer Hof. De Pigage created Benrath Palace from Jan Wellem's former moated castle as a "Maison de plaisance" based on the French model.

The effort to create an overall composition of architecture, garden art and sculpture is characteristic of the era of the late baroque at the transition to classicism. From the outside it appears to be one storey, but the castle has 80 rooms on four floors. The park grounds, which reflect the architecture of the castle, were later completed.

Big robes, nobles, mistresses, pleasure and festivities, that's what Schloss Benrath was created for. However, the elector visited his estate only once - in an afternoon.

After the Wars of Liberation, the hunting and pleasure palace passed into Prussian hands in 1815. Among others, used by Friedrich Wilhelm Ludwig of Prussia, Princess Luise, Karl Anton Fürst von Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen and by Kaiser Wilhelm I.

In 1911 the castle was bought by the municipality of Benrath and in 1929 it became the property of the city of Düsseldorf. Until 1958 the girls' school "Benrather Schloss-Lyzeum" was housed there.

In the late 50s, a tourist attraction emerged from the castle, also due to various state visits there. Since 2000, the Benrath Palace and Park Foundation has taken over the management and use of the facility. 

Films also used the  “Maison de plaisance” as an impressive backdrop for their stories. During the past decades, the castle has also served as a venue for the novels “Effie Briest” by Theodor Fontane and “The Black Swan” by Thomas Mann.

The most popular park in North Rhine-Westphalia was the Benrather Schlosspark in 2013 by the WDR (West German Broadcasting). And admittedly, North Rhine-Westphalia has some beautiful parks to offer. But the green, floral estate with a total area of ​​around 61 hectares impresses its visitors again and again.

Nowadays a large part of the castle park is under monument and nature protection. The magnificent gardens, ponds and meadows now house almost 80 species of birds and 300 different kind of beetles.

On a approximately two-hour exploration tour through the park grounds, you will discover orchard meadows, walk through the hunting garden, explore the fruits of the vegetable gardens and be fascinated by the mirror pond, which is an impressive 470 meters long.

Rare North American copse characterize the so-called Elector's garden, which was created by outstanding garden artists such as Maximilian Friedrich Weyhe and Peter Joseph Lenné in the 19th century.

The park is freely accessible and admission is free.

There are also evening concerts in the idyllic castle park in summer - a particularly popular event is the classic open-air "Festival of Lights". A summer concert in the park at which all visitors have a picnic.

In any case, this is a special experience. People drag tables, chairs, candlesticks, lanterns, blankets, pillows etc. into the park and listen to classical music followed by fireworks and water-light plays.

The castle itself can be visited on guided tours with different thematic priorities. Numerous historical furniture, porcelain and paintings are waiting to be admired!

The Museum of European Garden Art is thematically unique and offers a good overview of 2500 years of garden art in Europe on around 2,000 square meters.

The Museum für Naturkunde shows the natural history of the Lower Rhine Bay and the Lower Bergisches Land. Here visitors can find out about changes in the course of the Rhine, fishing, fauna and flora.

Neues Rathaus, Architecture, Construction and Concept

Neues Rathaus, The New Town Hall is one of the most popular architectural designs in Bavaria. Its location in Munich is towards the northern part of the famous Marienplatz square. The hall hosts notable events such as council meetings and musical concerts. Neues Rathaus is a rich detailed architectonical work, and you will have the best of time touring this great showplace. However, before you visit, there are many things you should know about Neues Rathaus. 

Neues Rathaus Construction

Prior to the construction of Neues Rathaus, there was an Old Town Hall known as Altes Rathaus. Inadequate space in the Old Town Hall led to the construction of Neues Rathaus. After the decision to build a new town hall, Marienplatz was elected as the proper construction site. Georg Hauberrisser supervised the design of the first building. The construction took place between 1867 and 1874. There was a need for subsequent expansion since the building could not contain the administration at that time. To get enough space for this new building, the administration had to buy properties around Dienerstrasse and Weinstrasse regions. Georg Hauberrisser also designed Rathaus expansion in 1887. The latest design incorporated four complexes. This occupied the whole North side of the Marienplatz. Further constructions after this were the erection of a new tower, keystone construction, and repairs after World War II. For the construction of Neues Rathaus, Georg Hauberrisser got his inspiration from the famous Brussel’s Rathausturm. Jan van Ruysbrieck, a belgium architect, was the mastermind of this design in 1449.

Building Concepts

Neues Rathaus contains construction material such as  stones and bricks. The tower is one of the masterpieces of this building. Its height is about 85 meters; you can get there with the elevator designed to meet modern standards. Reaching the top is a complete fun, and tourists look forward to this. From there, you can enjoy magnificent sights of the Marienplatz and a great view of the whole of Munich city. Before getting to the top, there is the 3rd floor of the building. This is the most important part of the Neues Rathaus. It has a very spacious area where most of the important events take place. Third-floor is also one of the most attractive parts of the building. The walls are adorned with beautiful designs and the original canvas of famous Munich artist, Carl Theodore Pilotis. There is also another room in the building designated for the display of artworks. This room looks like a mini-museum. It has top-notch designs with art carvings and gems all around. The second floor of the building is where you will find the Neues Rathaus library. It is a very big library with numerous book sections. Like every other part of the town hall, the library is well designed with quality materials.

Rathaus Glockenspiel Clock

This could arguably be the most interesting and famous feature of the Neues Rathaus. Located on the main building’s tower, the Rathaus Glockenspiel is a distinct feature of Neues Rathaus reconstruction. People gather around the Neues Rathaus to watch the play performance of the clock every day. The Rathaus Glockenspiel display twice a day when it chimes at 11 am and 12 pm. These stories are ancestral tales from past centuries. Rathaus Glockenspiel has more than 40 bells and over 30 human-sized figures used for this display. There are 2 halves of Rathaus Glockenspiel, each half its own story. The upper half displays a friendly battle in honor of the famous marriage of Duke Wilhelm V and Renata von Lothringen. There are 2 team battle knights of the human-size figures.. The first team with blue and white colors represent the Bavaria Knights. The second team in red and white colors represents the (bad guys) Lothringen Knights. At the end of the battle, the Bavarian knights are usually victorious. The second chime commences the second display in the bottom half of Rathaus Glockenspiel. The story is about the traditional coopers’ dance in Munich. The dance is a culture that has been practiced for generations in Munich. The dance started as a result of a plague that affected the people of cooper from 1515 to 1517. Due to this, they invented this dance to help take their minds off fears from the plague. They believed that dancing helped them through this difficult period. Since then, they have performed it every seven years in the city of Munich. The next one is in 2026. Each of these shows last a period of 12 to 15 minutes based on the sound scheduled for that particular day. To bring the show to an end, a large cock at the top of the Rathaus Glockenspiel would crow thrice.

Rathaus Glockenspiel Construction

Again, Georg Hauberrisser is the brain behind the design of Rathaus Glockenspiel. In fact, the idea of incorporating a clock into the Neues Rathaus building was his. Karl Rosipal's first donation is for the first set of human-size figures to play performance. However, there is more to this. The administration decided that they do not want to have the participation of a Jewish man in the construction of the Rathaus Glockenspiel. Unfortunately because of the Jewish descendants, Karl's donation is being refunded to his family in 1934. During World War II, Rathaus Glockenspiel got small damage. Hence, it's usage got casually in the ensuing years. During those periods, it underwent necessary repairs to bring it back to a better state. The next repairs of the Rathaus Glockenspiel took place in 2007 prior to Munich’s 850th anniversary. They got rid of the bells and human-sized symbols, cleaned, and the bad ones got recovery. Also, other parts of the clock like the bell holder, springs and steels got new looks. This maintenance cost about 750,00 Euros, of which 650,000 Euros is donation from Munich’s citizens.. The German Foundation for Monument Protection (Deutsche Stiftung Denkmalschutz) gave the additional 100,000 Euros. For the summer Olympics in 1972, the clock chimed at 12 pm and 5 pm instead of the normal time of 11 am and 12 pm.

The Night Watchman and The Guardian Angel

Another common tradition of the Neues Rathaus is the watchman. At night around 9 pm, a beam of light shines on the 2 sided window. The watchman always roams the left side. Dressed in a loose garment, he usually carries his lamp and horn. In this period, Rathaus Glockenspiel plays some nice tunes. The first one is from the award-winning movie Die Meistersinger von Nuremberg. He then wraps it up with the lullaby song of Johannes Brahms. After this, the guardian angel returns to the tower, and then it’s time for light out in the Neues Rathaus. This is how the city of Munich is being put to bed by the New Town Hall every night.

The Rathaus Glockenspiel Gallery

Above the huge clock is the Rathausturm gallery which you can access  with the lift. The gallery’s sight is astonishing, especially on a bright sunny day. Some of the beautiful views to enjoy include the Holy Spirit Church, the Talburtor, the whole of Marienplatz, St. Paul’s church, etc.

The Town Hall Facade

Town Hall St. Johann, the town hall facade, is a striking resemblance of the Neues Rathaus. Georg Hauberrisser is also responsible for the architectural design of the Town Hall Facade. Since there was only 1 design for Town Hall St. Johann, it has a more balanced look than the Neues Rathaus whose construction spanned 3 periods. Hauberrisser combined various sections of buildings, with different heights, for the town hall facade. He made use of facade claddings and designs extension to come about this. People are comparing the works from Hauberrisser with the ones from Friedrich von Schmidt, who is his teacher. Friedrich von Schmidt built Viennese Town Hall as well as its facade. Hauberrisser usage of various decorations, features, balconies, and claddings gave his designs more life and made them look intriguing. His works were also linked to those of Zentralblatt der Bauverwaltung in Berlin. His creativity and how he designed the Town Halls to fit the city of Munich looked similar to the works of Zentralblatt der Bauverwaltung.

Neues Rathaus Reconstruction after WWII and the American Contribution

Neues Rathaus suffered damages during the airstrikes of World War II. After the war, there was a need for a rebuilding process. During this period, an additional floor rose upon the Neues Rathaus. Before the end of the 90s, the rebuilding process was fully completed with the help of American donations. The windows design contains motifs from religion, cultural, international and regional background. Although these got torn apart towards the end of World War II, they were all restored during the reconstruction process.

Monuments in the Neues Rathaus

Neues Rathaus buildings statues are made from mainly bricks and limestone. Built on a landmass area of 9159 meters square, the whole building covers about 77% of this land area. The free areas are well decorated to meet the taste of the Neues Rathaus. There are various monuments in the Neues Rathaus. Just in the middle of 2 complexes in the Marienplatz, there is a statue illustration of Prince Regent. Other monuments include those of the four earliest kings and founders Munich, a water fountain, and many other historical illustrations.

More Features of the Neues Rathaus

The rooms in the new town hall are 400. Behind the main building that faces the Marienplatz is a park known as Marienhof. Here, the basement is home to the famous Ratskeller restaurant. The restaurant is always busy with tourists trooping in and out every day. The last floor has a lot of rooms rented out as shops to petty traders. This is where you can get your goods as a tourist. Also, this floor houses the visitor center office where you can make various tourist inquiries. On the first floor, is probably the largest balcony you have ever seen. This place hosts elaborate events like concerts, award presentations, etc.

Events in Neues Rathaus

The Neues Rathaus hosts most of Munich’s major events. There are various rooms for this purpose. There is a conference room for events like the city council. The hall also houses various fragments of the city’s administration and also the Mayor’s office. The Mayor’s office location is underneath the Rathaus Glockenspiel. Looking at the huge clock from this position is a very beautiful sight. The town hall is also hosts musical concerts, award ceremonies, various kinds of receptions and sports team meetings.

Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann 

Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann né Ernst Theodor Wilhelm Hoffmannc le 24 janvier 1776 à Königsberg, en Prusse-Orientale, et mort le 25 juin 1822 à Berlin (à l'âge de 46 ans), est un écrivain romantique et un compositeur, également dessinateur et juriste allemand.

Juriste de formation, Hoffmann sert dans l'administration prussienne de 1796 à 1806, puis de 1814 à sa mort. Également dessinateur et peintre, son indépendance d'esprit et son goût de la satire lui valent à plusieurs reprises de sérieux ennuis auprès de ses supérieurs hiérarchiques, qu'il n'hésite pas à caricaturer.

C'est surtout en raison de son activité littéraire que Hoffmann est célèbre. Connu sous le nom d'« E. T. A. Hoffmann », il est l'auteur de nombreux contes (Märchen en allemand) comme : L'Homme au sable, Les Mines de Falun ou Casse-Noisette et le Roi des souris et de plusieurs romans, dont son œuvre principale Le Chat Murr. Il devient alors, dès les années 1820, l'une des illustres figures du romantisme allemand et il inspire de nombreux artistes, en Europe comme dans le reste du monde. Par exemple, Jacques Offenbach écrit l'opéra fantastique en cinq actes Les Contes d'Hoffmann en s'inspirant de l'univers du romantique allemand.

Également passionné de musique, il abandonne son troisième prénom, « Wilhelm », pour celui d'« Amadeus » en hommage à Mozart, son modèle, et devient critique musical, puis compositeur. Il est ainsi l'auteur de plusieurs opéras, en particulier Ondine, qui est tiré d'un conte de son ami Friedrich de La Motte-Fouqué, ainsi que d'œuvres vocales et instrumentales.

Œuvres principales

Casse-Noisette et le Roi des souris (1816)

L'Homme au sable (1817)

Le Chat Murr (1819-1821)

Les Frères de Saint-Sérapion (1819-1821)

Tonight I’m going to talk a little about the Iffland ring, because it’s kind of cool, was considered cursed at one point, might be entirely a fake tradition created by the fifth bearer, and could easily inspire a story or two amongst the creative types.

It’s a ring with a cameo of August Wilhelm Iffland a German actor and dramatist one of the finest actors in the German language of his time, and that’s important to remember because Germany as a country didn’t exist at that time there were a bunch of smaller countries that spoke German. Anyway in a bolt of inspiration he decided to craft the ring that would be passed upon his death to the actor he considered the "most significant and most worthy actor of the German-speaking theatre" who would then do the same. So he passed it on to one Ludwig Devrient in 1814, Ludwig was close friends with E.T.A. Hoffmann whose work was adapted into  the opera The Tales of Hoffmann and after Hoffmann died Ludwig become something of a drunk and died on stage performing King Lear. The next two holders were Berlin based and didn’t leave much of an imprint Ludwig’s nephew Emil and Theodor Doring.

The fifth holder was Friedrich Haase, a vain bugger who happily played up rumours that he was the illegitimate offspring of royalty, he travelled and performed around the world. He also may have invented the whole thing to enhance his reputation as the history of the ring is detailed in a letter he wrote to his successor Albert Basserman.

Albert performed in theatre, silent film and films with sound, his last film appearance was The Red Shoes. In 1933 he fled Germany, the Nazis liked his work and told him he could continue to act if he divorced his Jewish wife, he refused and wound up in America along with some other fine German artists. He outlived all three of the actors he selected coming to believe it cursed he placed it upon the coffin of the third but the ring was saved by Herman Robbeling who declared it belonged to a living actor not a dead one. Basserman refused to name a fourth heir so the responsibility fell to Egon Hilbert who wanted to name Werner Krauss the new bearer. Krauss refused until the actor’s guild named him a second time.

Krauss wanted to pass the ring onto a woman, Alma Seidler but the ring had to be passed to a dude apparently so it went to Josef Meinrad after Krauss also died on stage performing King Lear. After Seidler’s death a woman’s version of the Iffland ring was created in her honour. Meinrad named Bruno Ganz as his heir and everyone on the internet knows Bruno because his performance as Hitler in Downfall was turned into a meme, damn fine actor also who turned in a solid performance in Werner Herzog’s Nosferatu and a fantastic one in Wim Wender’s Wings of Desire. Sadly Bruno died a few years ago and the current bearer is Jens Harzer. So there you go an interesting bit of trivia about a tradition amongst German speaking actors.
