'Decolonize - Die Ravensteiner Gurke' Digital Collage, 375 x 375 mm, 2024 Fine Art Pigment Print under Acrylic Glass, Black Aluminium Art Box

Die Ravensteiner Gurke

Hutzenstuben, Trutzburgen, oder Oh-Oh-Oh (doch kein) Osterreiter

Die hölzernen - manieristisch - druckgeschwärzten - expressiv - gotischen Schnitte des tausendjährigen Bautzens von Rudolf Warnecke erfreuen sich quer durch alle bildungsverbrämten Gruppen jeglicher politischer Couleur immer noch großer Beliebtheit und sind in vielen Haushalten, die ich in der Oberlausitz kenne, noch im Original zu finden. Die Buchhandlungen sind voll dieser Trutzburgen-Heimelei, welche den wohligen Schauer dunkler Zeiten der zweimal abgefeierten (1933 und 2002) tausendjährigen Geschichte als Souvenir mit den TouristInnen den Weg nach Hause finden - nachdem die Kurzweilenden der indizierten T-Shirt Freakshow auf dem Kornmarkt überdrüssig geworden sind.

Ich bin mit diesen altertümlichen Bildern meiner Geburtsstadt aufgewachsen und empfand immer ein gewisses Unbehagen beim Anblick dieser schon zu der Zeit ihrer Entstehung aus der Zeit gefallenen Darstellungen dieser Stadt. Gewiss sind einige dieser Holzschnitte ikonisch in der Darstellung der Stadt und ich möchte dem Schöpfer nicht das Handwerk als Holzschneider absprechen. Aber es fehlt mir an kritischer Einordnung und Reflektion aller AkteurInnen in der Oberlausitzer Kulturlandschaft zu einem Künstler und seinem Werk, der noch 1942 in der ‚Großen Deutschen Kunstausstellung‘ mit der Arbeit ‚Stillende Mutter‘ vertreten war. Dann 1943 ein Titelbild für die Zeitschrift ‚Deutsche Leibeszucht‘. Anzumerken ist, dass der Künstler wegen seiner Weigerung, in die NSDAP einzutreten, gegen Ende des Krieges seine Anstellung als Ausstellungsleiter am Stadtmuseum Bautzen verlor und zum Heeresdienst eingezogen wurde. Soweit so normal: Ein Karriereknick reichte bei vielen nach dem Krieg als Beleg für den Widerstand gegen das Naziregime.

Der zugegeben härteste Triggerpunkt für mich war, als Anfang diesen Jahres in Görlitz eine kleine Ausstellung gezeigt wurde, die den Künstler in eine Reihe mit Alwin Brandes, Hanka Krawcec, Johannes Wüsten, Paul Sinkwitz und Rosa Luxemburg stellte. Das expressiv erstarrte, alle Stadtbrände überdauernde Hexenhaus, als das Symbolbild eines tausendjährigen Bautzen neben einer Abbildung aus dem Herbarium von Rosa Luxemburg schmerzt dann doch sehr. Der Diskurs darüber blieb aus oder drang nicht durch ins oberste Stübchen meines gläsernen Elfenbeinturms im fernen Leipzig.

Vor einigen Wochen fand ich eine Ansichtskarte, welche für das ‚Fest der Lausitz‘ 1935 gestaltet wurde und 1941 immer noch im Umlauf war - wie die Stempel auf mehreren erhaltenen Exemplaren belegen. Der schwarze ‚Ritter‘ auf seinem schwarzen Hengst vor dem brennenden Bautzen. Ist es eine Szene aus dem Dreißigjährigen Krieg, als die kurfürstlichen Sachsen (das Wappen auf dem Schild lässt es vermuten) die Stadt belagerten? In der Folge dieser kriegerischen Auseinandersetzungen wurde das böhmische Bautzen samt dem Markgraftum Oberlausitz 1635 den Sachsen zugeschlagen. Die Perspektive, dreihundert Jahre später, ist eine großdeutsche und Rudolf Warnecke weiß den gewünschten Ton des Regimes zu treffen, welches die geplante Kolonisierung der ‚Ostgebiete‘ mit Ereignissen wie dem ‘Fest der Lausitz’ historisch begründen will. Ab 1937 wurde sorbisches Leben systematisch unterdrückt.

In einer Region, die 79 Jahre nach Kriegsende regelmäßig in der Presse wegen rechter Verhaltensauffälligkeiten gewürdigt wird und sich darüber jedes Mal ungerecht behandelt fühlt, ist der Künstler immer noch im kulturellen Mainstream verankert. Ich empfinde diese Trutzburgen-Kreuzritter-Ästhetik als zutiefst Slawen-feindlich und nicht im geringsten die Ursprünge dieser zweisprachigen Region und Heimat einer autochthonen Bevölkerungsgruppe widerspiegelnd. Die - hoffentlich nicht - kommende blau-schwarze Regierung frohlockt ob dieser braunäugigen Sehschwäche. Regelmäßig erscheinen vor meinem inneren Auge rotierende Rundumleuchten, wenn dieser Tage der Künstler und sein Werk aufploppen. Das ist nicht zwingenderweise der Aufruf zum Bildersturm, sondern lediglich eine Aufmunterung, mal eine andere und ich betone, nicht-identitäre Perspektive einzunehmen.

Graced with medieval architecture and cobbled squares, it’s one of the most beautiful cities in Switzerland. With over 800 years of history, Lucerne has an enchanting old town of medieval architecture adorned with pastel frescoes. A picture-perfect backdrop sets the scene for a host of wonderful things to do in Lucerne. Take a stroll along the Lake Lucerne promenade and amble past exquisite architecture. Explore historic monuments, then have an Aperol in a lively square. Savour local culinary delights and admire Lucerne’s progressive art scene. Here are all our favourite things to do in Lucerne, the jewel of central Switzerland. Updates – We do our best to keep the information in this guide up to date, if you notice anything has changed, please leave a comment below. // Bookings – Booking your trip via the links in this guide will earn us a small commission, at no extra cost to you. Thanks for your support – Paul & Mark. VIEW FROM SPREUERBRÜCKE, LUCERNE 1 – OLD TOWN Lucerne’s Old Town is a fairy-tale setting of medieval squares, historic buildings, and narrow streets. The small heart of the city is car-free and perfect to explore on foot. While you will spend much longer soaking up the atmosphere on your Lucern visit, you only need 1-2 hours to stroll through most of the Old Town. Here are some of the highlights of the old town: Kornmarkt // Kornmarkt was the grain market from 1356 to the late 19th century. The square contains the city’s most beautiful building, the town hall (Rathaus). A 14th-century clock tower adorns the Italian Renaissance-style building with a typical Swiss roof. Hirschenplatz // Another beautiful square, ornate frescoes adorn the buildings in Hirschenplatz. Many are saints immortalized to protect the buildings, while others are advertising for the businesses. Keep an eye out for the prancing cherubs holding rings on the jewellery business. Weinmarkt // The Wienmarkt was the fish market until the middle of the 16th century. The Weinmarkt fountain from 1481 features an octagonal basin and a limestone sculpture. Mühlenplatz // Mühlenplatz is the largest of Lucerne’s squares. It’s a great place for dinner and drinks in a local setting a short distance from the very touristy riverside area. DORNACHERHAUS MÜHLENPLATZ RATHAUS CLOCK TOWER 2 – CHAPEL BRIDGE & WATER TOWER The Chapel Bridge, also known as Kapellbrücke, is one of the most famous landmarks in Lucerne. It’s a covered wooden footbridge that diagonally spans the Reuss River. Built in the 14th century, the Chapel Bridge is the oldest wooden covered bridge in Europe. Paintings by local painter Hans Heinrich Wägmann, depicting the history of the city, adorn the inside of Kapellbrücke. A fire in 1993 destroyed some of the paintings and much of the bridge. The rebuild restored all the charm to Chapel Bridge. The Water Tower was erected in the late 13th century, almost 100 years before the bridge. Lucerne’s ruling class used the four floors inside the building as a treasury and a prison. The 30-metre octagonal building is one of the most photographed landmarks in Lucerne. Tips for visiting – The Water Tower is not open to the public, but it’s free to stroll across the bridge any time of day. It’s particularly stunning at sunset when the colourful buildings in the background glow a golden hue. KAPELLBRÜCKE 3 – MUSEGG WALL The Musegg Wall is an 870-metre medieval wall with 9 towers that surround the old town of Lucerne. The walls were built in the 14th century to protect the city from invaders. They are considered some of the best-preserved defensive walls in Switzerland. Strolling on the wall

and enjoying panoramic views of the city nestled under the surrounding mountains is a unique thing to do in Lucerne. Several of the towers are open to the public between April and November from 8 am to 7 pm: The Männli Tower takes its name from the iron figure of the Männli (little man) crowning the top. The Heu Tower stored hay and gunpowder until 1701 when a lightning strike caused an explosion that ripped the tower apart. The Zyt Tower has a clock face large enough for fishermen to read it from the lake. The Schirmer Tower marked the divide between the entity of Lucerne and the countryside. The remaining towers, Nölli, Luegisland, Pulver, Allenwinden Dächli are visible from various points throughout the city. MUSEGG WALL TOWERS FROM LUCERNE 4 – SWISS MUSEUM OF TRANSPORT The Swiss Museum of Transport is the most-visited museum in Switzerland and a great thing to do in Lucerne in winter. The massive collection includes historic cars, planes, simulators, interactive media, and learning experiences. Day passes to the Transport Museum include access to the Swiss Chocolate Adventure. Learn about the chocolate-making process and watch the experts prepare individual goodies for you to try. Another great attraction at the Transport Museum is the IMAX screen – the largest in Switzerland. Additionally, Media World is a virtual reality experience featuring adrenaline sports. The museum is the perfect family-friendly thing to do in Lucerne. DETAILS | SWISS MUSEUM OF TRANSPORT hours – 10 am to 6 pm (summer) / 10 am to 5 pm (winter) | cost – CHF 62 (day pass) / CHF 35 (museum + Media World) DAY PASS // ENTRY TICKET 5 – LION MONUMENT The Lion Monument, or Löwendenkmal, commemorates the Swiss Guards killed during the French Revolution. The sculpture shows a lion dying with a spear in its side, carved into a cliff made of sandstone. The lion is covering a shield that has the fleur-de-lis symbol on it, which stands for the French monarchy. Beside him is another shield bearing the coat of arms of Switzerland. An inscription under the sculpture tells how many soldiers died (760) and lived (350). The monument is not without controversy. Many people oppose it because it represents the loss of Swiss lives in support of a foreign power. Nonetheless, set in a small English Garden with a tranquil pond outside the old town, it’s a wonderful free thing to do in Lucerne. LION MONUMENT 6 – JESUIT CHURCH ST FRANCIS CAVIER The Baroque Jesuitenkirche occupies a striking position on the banks of the River Reuss. The Jesuit order were active in the Catholic fight against Protestantism in Switzerland. Good favour got them invited to Lucerne in 1573 to establish a college. The mayor funded the enterprise from his private wealth. Construction of the church aligned to the college commenced in 1667 but it remained unfinished at its consecration in 1677. The building was modelled on the Church of the Gesù in Rome and the Baroque style was one of the first of its kind in Switzerland. Inside, the church is beautiful. Decorated with golden rococo stucco, sculptures, and paintings, the space is a pristine dazzling white. The highlights are the high altar, the organ, and the painted ceiling depicting scenes from St Francis Xavier, the Patron Saint of Lucerne. Tip for visiting – The Jesuit Church is one of the best free things to do in Lucerne. If services are underway you’ll need to stay in the entrance hall, so try to time your visit to avoid those times. DETAILS | JESUIT CHURCH Hours – 6:30 am to 6: 30 pm (Monday & Thursday the church opens at 9:30 am | Church Services – Sunday 7 am, 10 am, 3 pm, 5 pm / Monday & Thursday 7 am / Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday & Saturday 7 am | cost – Free JESUIT CHURCH, LUCERNE JESUIT CHURCH, LUCERNE 7 – RICHARD WAGNER MUSEUM The Richard Wagner Museum commemorates the life and work of the famous composer. He spent several years living in the beautiful villa which now houses the museum.

Surrounded by tall mountains, the lake is one of the most beautiful in Switzerland and the perfect place for outdoor activities. LAKE LUCERNE PROMENADE The lakeside promenade is a popular meeting point in Lucerne. In the old town, grand buildings and some of Lucerne’s most notable landmarks line the waterfront. Outside the old town, a pedestrian promenade lined with trees and lovely gardens houses many of the city’s festivals. We visited during Luzern Live and the lakefront was buzzing with music and pop-up street food. Lucerne has an excellent festival scene, see what’s on for your visit on the official website: www.lucernefestival.ch LAKE LUCERNE PROMENADE LAKE LUCERNE BOAT RIDE One of the unmissable experiences in Lucerne is taking a boat ride on the lake, soaking up the stunning views.

SEEBAD Lucerne is a stunning lakeside swimming complex located outside the old town. The floating wooden structure dates back to 1884. The complex is a vintage swimming experience that originally had separate bathing areas for men and women.

Today it includes swimming pools, diving boards, water slides, and sunbathing areas. Take a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear waters of Lake Lucerne under the breathtaking views of the alpine landscape. The open-air bar and bistro serve simple Swiss, Mediterranean, and Asian Food.

It’s down the river from the Chapel Bridge and it too has survived for centuries. Occupying a less dominant position on the river, Spreuerbrücke is often less busy, particularly late in the afternoon. Painted triangular panels inside the bridge form a “Dance of Death.” This is an artistic style from the Middle Ages depicting death represented by people from all walks of life. The original 67 paintings date from the early 17th century, today 56 survive. Each of the paintings include the coat of arms of the donor and other notable members of Lucerne society. The bridge is a great location to photograph other landmarks in Lucerne. Capture the Musegg Wall, the Jesuit Church, and the Chapel Bridge from this prime location. There is no fee to walk across the Spreuer Bridge and it’s open all the time. SPREUERBRÜCKE 12 – CHURCH OF ST LEODEGAR (HOFKIRCHE) There has been a church on the site of Hofkirche since around the 8th century when there was an abbey to Saint Maurice. The current building was constructed between 1634 and 1639. It incorporates two Romanesque towers; all that remained from a fire that destroyed the previous church. It’s now considered one of the most important Renaissance churches in Switzerland. Yet, the simple and plain interior feels at odds with the commanding exterior. A carved pulpit and choirstalls in rich wood add warmth. The ostentatious black marble and gold altar stand out against the muted tones of the walls. You don’t need long at St Leodegar’s but it’s a nice part of Lucerne overlooking the old town. It’s also on the way to the Lion Monument, a few minutes’ walk away. CHURCH OF ST LEODEGAR WHAT TO EAT IN LUCERNE? One of the most popular dishes in Lucerne is the Luzerner Chügelipastete, a puff pastry filled with veal and mushrooms in a creamy sauce. On the sweet side of things, Zuger Kirschtorte is a cherry liqueur-infused cake. Our pick of the deserts was Luzerner Kugel, a chocolate truffle filled with a hazelnut cream center. When in Lucerne, you need to try the famous Swiss cheese fondue, which is served with bread cubes for dipping. The Luzerner Lebkuchen is a gingerbread-like cake that is a specialty of the region. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS WHAT ARE SOME POPULAR DAY TRIPS FROM LUCERNE THAT CAN BE TAKEN BY TRAIN? There are several great day trips from Lucerne by train. Mount Pilatus is the most popular and you can reach it by taking a train to Alpnachstad and then boarding a cogwheel railway to the summit. The charming town of Engelberg, home to the famous Benedictine monastery, is another great day trip from Lucerne. WHAT ARE SOME RECOMMENDED HOTELS TO STAY AT IN LUCERNE? In Lucerne, you can find many types of places to stay that fit different budgets and tastes. Some popular hotels include the Hotel Schweizerhof Luzern, the Palace Luzern, and the Art Deco Hotel Montana. WHAT ARE SOME POPULAR ATTRACTIONS TO VISIT IN OLD TOWN LUCERNE? Old Town Lucerne is a charming and picturesque area with several popular attractions. Some of the must-visit places in the Old Town include the Chapel Bridge, the Water Tower, the Jesuit Church, and the Lion Monument. WHAT ARE SOME THINGS TO DO IN LUCERNE THAT ARE COVERED BY THE SWISS PASS? The Swiss Pass offers unlimited travel on trains, buses, and boats throughout Switzerland.

In Lucerne, you can use the Swiss Pass for the boat ride on Lake Lucerne, the Swiss Museum of Transport, and the Golden Pass Line. WHAT IS LUCERNE SWITZERLAND KNOWN FOR BESIDES ITS BEAUTIFUL LAKE?

Kornmarkt, Innenstadt, 2023

[gewobau]

Europatag 2023 – 73 Jahre Förderung des Friedens

Am 9. Mai, dem 73. Jahrestag der Schuman-Erklärung, fand der diesjährige Europatag auf dem Kornmarkt in Bad Kreuznach statt.

Oberbürgermeister Emanuel Letz begrüßte die Besucherinnen und Besucher und stellte in seiner Rede als Schirmherr die Bedeutung der europäischen Werte gerade in der aktuellen Zeit und die besondere Freundschaft zwischen Deutschland und Frankreich heraus.

Christine Simmich (Koordinatorin für Internationale Beziehungen der Stadt Bad Kreuznach) führte durch das bunte Programm und wurde dabei, wie im letzten Jahr, wieder von Karl-Heinz Seeger und seinem Team unterstützt.

Musikalisch begleitet wurde die Veranstaltung durch die Beiträge der Bläserklasse 6b des Lina-Hilger-Gymnasiums, der Familie Romanchenko aus Butscha und des ukrainische Gesang- und Tanzensemble „Zernyatko“ aus Kiew.

Die europäische Idee der Förderung des Friedens, Freiheit, Sicherheit und Rechtsstaatlichkeit sind insbesondere in Zeiten des Krieges wichtiger denn je.

Wir Danken allen Besucherinnern und Besuchern und freuen uns auf den Europatag 2024.

The gate to paradise in Munich 🖤💛 Germany 🇩🇪 🤍💙💯😊🙏📸 A letter from 15th-century Rome says: Whoever passes through this gate three times will have his guilt and the punishment for his sins forgiven. It's a miracle that people experience. So if you want to get to paradise, you can do it. The south-eastern gate is called the "Bride's Portal" or "Donatus' Portal". It used to be called the “Schrannentor”. At times, it was the most used entrance as it faces the Schrannenmarkt (Kornmarkt), today's Marienplatz. It is dedicated to St. Donatus von Arezzo, the co-patron of the Meissen Cathedral, from which the relics of St. Benno were transferred. Possibly because of its convenient location, it was the only church portal to have a richly profiled Gothic robe with small-scale figural decoration in two archivolts, created around 1480 and supplemented in 1860. . . #frauenkirchemünchen #doorsoftheworld #churchdoor #travelpicoftheday #mustvisitplace #reisenistschön #stadtansichten #germanyphotography #germanytravel #germanytrip #raw_germany  #antennebayern #deinbayern #wirinbayern #exklusivmuenchen #geheimtippmünchen #igersmunich #ilovemunich #meinmünchen #monacodibaviera #mymunich #instamunich #muenchenstagram #münchenistschön #münchenliebe #münchenstagram #munich_germany #munich_notes #munichcity #munichgram (at Frauenkirche) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjZ1RX5sSly/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Kornmarkt,Heidelberg,Germany

A bustling grain market in the Middle Ages, the Kornmarkt square was later home to a hospital run by Catholics in the 16th century. The layout of the hospital’s chapel can still be identified by the paving in the square. In the 17th century, a statue known as Madonna at the Grain Market was erected as part of a Jesuit campaign designed to promote Catholicism. Today, the Madonna is regarded as a fine work of art that provides the perfect centerpiece to this pleasant town square. Visitors gather here to eat at open-air cafés and enjoy views of the Heidelberg Castle on the slopes above the Kornmarkt.

Wie so oft ist alles eine Frage der Perspektive.

Am unserem zweiten Abend in Heidelberg hatten wir wieder kein besonderes Glück mit dem Wetter. Regen, windig und kühl, aber immerhin mit Pausen dazwischen. Es war Sonntag und unser Lehrgang in Leimen war schon etwas ehrer als am Vortag fertig. Also sind wir mit dem Bus in die Altstadt gefahren. Zuerst haben wir uns noch ein wenig umgesehen, bevor es wieder angefangen hat, zu regnen.

Dann haben wir uns zum Abendessen ins gut gefüllte Burgerrestaurant „Die Kuh die lacht” geflüchtet und haben glücklicherweise noch zwei der letzten Plätze in der Nähe der Küche bekommen. Es ist ein Ableger des bekannten Restaurants in Frankfurt. Das Fleisch für die Burger kommt aus der Region, die Brötchen (wahlweise helles oder Vollkorn) werden von einem Bäcker vor Ort gebacken. Auch die übrigen Zutaten sind frisch, saisonal und nach Möglichkeit von regionalen Erzeugern. Auf der Karte gibt es zahlreiche Burger-Varianten – mal mit Avocado, Sprossen, Speck oder einen klassischen Cheeseburger und sogar vegetarische Burger.

Wer möchte, kann sich mit den verschiedenen Grundzutaten auch seinen individuellen Burger zusammenstellen. Das Ketchup und die Pommes sind hausgemacht, ebenso die Hauslimonade. Uns haben die  Burger super geschmeckt und auch die Burger, die von der Küche an uns vorbeigetragen wurden, sahen alle super aus! Der Markgräfler hatte einen Gewürzburger, die Markgräflerin einen Avocadoburger (beide mit Rindfleisch) dazu Pommes und hausgemachtes Ketchup.

Und dann machten wir uns wieder auf den Rückweg. In der Jugendherberge gab es im Bistro dann noch ein Glas Wein zum Tatort im TV. Fortsetzung folgt…
