Zielgruppe und Teilnehmer des Projekts waren die Schüler des Instituto Superiore „Alfano I“ zusammen mit ihren &lt;div&gt;zugeschriebenen deutschen Partnern; als Lehrkräfte für den Projektvorschlag waren Prof Enza Guida, (FS Deutsch), sowie Prof Helmuth Feuerriegel (FS Englisch) der deutschen Partnerschule vorgesehen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 280px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 205px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352491487454368130" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/Skfepi0FEYI/AAAAAAAAAMw/jcnyg5iuQMs/s320/salerno.jpg" /&gt;Die Teilnehmer des Schulaustauschs haben die Möglichkeit genutzt, an einer internationalen kulturellen Bildung teilzunehmen. Es wurde Wert gelegt auf die Vermittlung sowohl sprachlicher als auch kultureller Kompetenzen - als gemeinsame Spuren der europäischen Kultur - sowie auf Vermittlung von Toleranz und Respekt für andere Menschen und Kulturen. Die Wahrnehmung der eigenen Geschichte und verschiedener historischer Epochen, die die beiden Regionen gemeinsam haben, war das Hauptziel; eigene kulturelle Grenzen erweitern und das Bewusstsein eigener Gehörigkeit zu Europa zu verstärken, war ein weiteres Ziel.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Auf sprachlich-kommunikativem Niveau sollten die gelernten Fremdsprachen (Englisch und Deutsch) zur Vertiefung von Kenntnissen und zu weiteren möglichen kulturellen Verbindungen angewendet werden und zu einfachen Textproduktionen führen, welche die historisch interessanten Sehenswürdigkeiten und die Kultur der beiden Regionen darstellen und veranschaulichen.&lt;br /&gt;Das Bildungsprojekt hat aufgrund hohen kulturellen Wertes die Genehmigung von Seite des Ufficio Scolastico della Regione Campania und eine finanzielle Unterstützung von 50% der Kosten (für Reise, Empfang der Gäste, Ausflüge, Eintritte) erhalten.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5076230158566866964-7024300038701189023?l=aachen-salerno.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5076230158566866964/posts/default/7024300038701189023'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5076230158566866964/posts/default/7024300038701189023'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aachen-salerno.blogspot.com/2009/06/aachen-salerno.html' title='Aachen &amp;

Die westlichste Großstadt Deutschlands, Südlimburg in den Niederlanden und Ostbelgien bilden zusammen eine Region, wie sie europäischer nicht sein könnte. Hier leben die Menschen in enger Nachbarschaft, schätzen einander und pflegen doch ihre jeweiligen Besonderheiten. &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/StuVz_ylGCI/AAAAAAAAAP4/IkjkSQdkERk/s1600-h/aachen-domgroot.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 286px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 277px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394069699235747874" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/StuVz_ylGCI/AAAAAAAAAP4/IkjkSQdkERk/s320/aachen-domgroot.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aachen ist eine freundliche und gemütliche Stadt, in der man einen fast südländischen Lebensstil pflegt. Besonders sehenswert ist die intakte Altstadt und deren Mittelpunkt: der Aachener Dom, UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe. Er stammt aus dem Jahre 800 und wurde von Kaiser Karl als Teil der Kaiserpfalz gebaut. Aachen ist eine Kurstadt und heißt eigentlich Bad Aachen. Auf die Benennung „Bad“ verzichten die Aachener aber, damit sie mit ihrem Doppel-A immer die ersten sind in alphabetischen Listen. Aachens heiße Quellen und deren heilende Wirkung führten der Legende nach dazu, dass Karl der Große seine Pfalz in Aachen baute. Der Elisenbrunnen ist Aachens Wassertempel. Schon die Kelten und die Römer schätzten die heilende Wirkung dieses Thermalwassers. Man kann das Aachener Heilwasser trinken, aber auch äußerlich anwenden. Es hilft unter anderem bei rheumatischen und Gelenkerkrankungen. Seit dem 17. Jahrhundert kamen Kaiser und Könige nach Aachen. Hier zu kuren war Mode.&lt;br /&gt;Nach Kaiser Karl wurde der in Aachen verliehene Karlspreis benannt. Jedes Jahr seit 1950 wird die angesehene Auszeichnung einer Persönlichkeit oder einer &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/StuV0YiKt2I/AAAAAAAAAQA/4UaqFqH5Puo/s1600-h/koerbergasse-aachen.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394069705877796706" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/StuV0YiKt2I/AAAAAAAAAQA/4UaqFqH5Puo/s320/koerbergasse-aachen.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Institution verliehen, die sich um die Europäische Einigung verdient gemacht hat. Die Aachener fühlen sich als Europäer und halten die europäischen Gedanken von Frieden und Völkerverständigung in Ehren. Mehr als 30.000 Studierende prägen die Atmosphäre und das Stadtbild Aachens. Die RWTH als Exzellenzuniversität hat einen ausgezeichneten Ruf in Lehre und Forschung. Aachen ist auch eine Stadt für Genießer, überregional bekannt sind die Aachener Printen, nicht nur zu Weihnachten ein leckeres Gebäck. Berühmt ist Aachen als Reiterstadt - alljährlich wird die Stadt zum Mekka für Reiter aus aller Welt, dann findet der CHIO statt, das weltgrößte Reiterfest.&lt;br /&gt;Aachen ist eine grüne Stadt mit durchaus ländlichen Stadtteilen. Und schnell ist man auf dem Land, inmitten von Wiesen und Feldern, in Belgien und in den Niederlanden. Ostbelgien und das niederländische Limburg sind ländlich idyllische Regionen. Ostbelgien ist geprägt von einer sanften Hügellandschaft, hübschen Bauernhöfen aus Bruchstein. Eupen ist die Hauptstadt der Region. Nur 18.000 Menschen leben in dem Städtchen, und es ist doch Regierungssitz. Der Ministerpräsident der ‘Deutschsprachigen Gemeinschaft’ und drei Minister haben hier ihren Dienstsitz. Eupen besitzt schöne Patrizierhäuser, die noch aus der Blütezeit der Tuchmacher stammen. Sonntags ist Flohmarkttag in Belgien wie auch im Sommer monatlich in Aachen. Ein Besuch gehört für viele zum Sonntagsritual. Die netten Trödelmärkte der Region sind Legende, hier findet man immer etwas Ausgefallenes.&lt;br /&gt;(wdr)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;History of Aachen, Germany&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The city of Aachen (pronounced "AH-ken" and also known as Aix-la-Chapelle), in western Germany, is best known for its association with Charlemagne and subsequent Holy Roman emperors. And thanks to the well-preserved Aachen &lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/StuV0honTwI/AAAAAAAAAQI/fcwVr5s5dp8/s1600-h/Aachen-723_jpg.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394069708320755458" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/StuV0honTwI/AAAAAAAAAQI/fcwVr5s5dp8/s320/Aachen-723_jpg.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Cathedral with its treasury of relics, the city remains a popular destination for Christian pilgrims and tourists alike.&lt;br /&gt;The Romans who first settled the site of modern Aachen named the hot springs there Aquisgranum. The name probably derives from the Celtic god of water and health. After Roman times, the area was mostly abandoned.&lt;br /&gt;In 768 AD, Emperor Charlemagne visited and was impressed with the springs. In 788, he began construction on his imperial palace, and in 790 work began on the Aachen Cathedral.&lt;br /&gt;Charlemagne made Aachen his second home, and the city quickly became an important cultural centre. During his lifetime, Charlemagne collected relics to store in the cathedral's treasury, and upon his death in 814 he was himself buried within its walls. From 936 AD to 1531, Aachen Cathedral was the coronation site of the Holy Roman emperors, and, especially after Charlemagne was canonized in 1165, Aachen became an important destination for pilgrims.&lt;br /&gt;Aachen's importance began to decline in the 16th century, primarily because its location became an inconvenient as the German capital. In the 1560s, the coronation site was moved to Frankfurt am Main.&lt;br /&gt;The Reformation was also a time of tension between Catholics and Protestants in the city. Protestant ideas were first preached in Aachen in 1524 by Albrecht von Muenster, but he was soon forbidden to preach and executed on two counts of murder. A Protestant community was gradually established in the city, however, and an uprising in 1581 led to the election of a Protestant governor in defiance of the empire.&lt;br /&gt;The city fell under imperial ban in 1597 and Catholicism was restored in 1600. Another Protestant uprising in 1611 drove out the Catholic officials, the city was put under imperial ban once again, and many Protestants were exiled. In 1656, Aachen suffered a devastating fire that &lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/StuVzirs_VI/AAAAAAAAAPw/vpWkAeXCFd4/s1600-h/aachen_cathedral.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394069691422276946" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/StuVzirs_VI/AAAAAAAAAPw/vpWkAeXCFd4/s320/aachen_cathedral.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;destroyed over 4000 houses and added to the city's troubles.&lt;br /&gt;Despite its decline, Aachen was the site of several important peace conferences, including those ending the War of Devolution (1668) and the War of the Austrian Succession (1748). Both the treaties, negotiated primarily between France and Britain, are known as the "Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle" (using the French name for Aachen).&lt;br /&gt;Aachen was annexed by France in 1801 and given to Prussia after the Congress of Vienna (1814–15). In 1821, a papal bull dissolved the bishopric of Aachen and transferred most of its territory to the archdiocese of Cologne. In 1825, a collegiate chapter of one provost and six canons replaced the bishopric, which is why Aachen's Palatine Chapel is sometimes known as the Collegiate Church.&lt;br /&gt;Aachen was briefly occupied by its Belgian neighbours after World War I and it suffered extensive damage in World War II. On October 20, 1944, Aachen became the first large German city to fall to the Allies.&lt;br /&gt;Today, Aachen is a major railway junction, an industrial centre, and a significant tourist destination. It has a population of about 257,000 people. Aachen is known in French (and to many English speakers) as Aix-la-Chapelle and in Italian as Aquisgrana (reflecting its earlier Latin name).&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5076230158566866964-8381455091072880381?l=aachen-salerno.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5076230158566866964/posts/default/8381455091072880381'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5076230158566866964/posts/default/8381455091072880381'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aachen-salerno.blogspot.com/2009/10/aachen-grenzstadt-zu-belgien-und-den.html' title='Aachen – Grenzstadt zu Belgien und den Niederlanden'/><author><name>aachen-salerno</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07994757577620869704</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/StuVz_ylGCI/AAAAAAAAAP4/IkjkSQdkERk/s72-c/aachen-domgroot.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5076230158566866964.post-8100968366299274922</id><published>2009-05-22T22:18:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2009-10-18T21:17:50.147+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Salerno</title><content type='html'>Salerno is situated in the middle of two coasts, the Amalfi and Cilento coasts. In 194 b.C. it was a Roman colony and was named Salernum.The city made progress and also enriched its culture and its traditions during the occupation of Goths, Byzantines, Longobards and Normans.The Goths were defeated by the Greeks whose domination lastes 15 years (from 53 to 568), up to &lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkfSW3S_RTI/AAAAAAAAALI/RXpHxBCgRrY/s1600-h/salerno2grande.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 312px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352477972395672882" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkfSW3S_RTI/AAAAAAAAALI/RXpHxBCgRrY/s320/salerno2grande.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Longobards invaded almost the whole peninsula.In 786 Arechi II, a Longobard prince, transferred the seat of the Dukedom of Benevento to Salerno, in order to elude Charlemagne's offensive and to secure himself the control of a strategic area, the centre of coastal and internal communications in Campania. With Arechi II, Salerno knew great splendour becoming a centre of studies with its famous Medical School. The Longobard prince ordered the city to be fortified; the Castle on the Bonadies mountain had alredy been built with walls and towers so from 839 the new capital was seat of a principality and powerful political centre.On December 13th 1076 the Norman conqueror Roberto il Guiscardo captures Salerno putting an end to the many-centuried Longobard domain.In this period the royal palace (Castel Terracena) and the magnificent Cathedral were built and science was boosted as the Salerno Medical School, considered the most ancient medical institution of European West, reached its maximum splendour.With the accession to the throne of Swabians, at the end of the 12th century, there &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkfTzGn0UVI/AAAAAAAAAL4/UvsKfpxVC84/s1600-h/salerno_acquedotto.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 307px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 296px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352479557057532242" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkfTzGn0UVI/AAAAAAAAAL4/UvsKfpxVC84/s320/salerno_acquedotto.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;was a period of economic revival in the city.By following the advice of Giovanni da Procida, a famous citizen of that time, Manfredi, Federico II's son, ordered a dock that still now has his name, to be built.From the 14th century onwards, most of the Salerno province became the territory of the Princes of Sanseverino, powerful feudatories, who acted as real owners of the Region. They accumulated an enormus political and administrative power and attracted artists and men of letters inside their own royal palace. In the 15th century the city was the scene of battles between Angevin and Aragonese heirs with whom the local princes took sides alternatively.In the first decades of the 16th century the last descendant of the Sanseverino princes was in conflict with the Spanish Government, causing the ruin of the whole family and the beginning of a long period of decadence for the city.The years 1656, 1688 and 1694 represent sorrowful dates for Salerno: the plague and the earthquake which caused many victims.A slow renewal of the city occurred in the 18th century with the end of the Spanish empire and the construction of many refined houses and churches characterising the main streets of the historical centre.In 1799 Salerno joined the Parthenopean Republic. During the &lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkfTy6MiILI/AAAAAAAAALw/6_ZqG40wYtY/s1600-h/salerno_archidiavolo.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 312px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 195px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352479553721868466" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkfTy6MiILI/AAAAAAAAALw/6_ZqG40wYtY/s320/salerno_archidiavolo.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Napoleonic period Giuseppe Bonaparte and then Gioacchino Murat ascended the throne. The latter issued the decree of soppression of the Salerno Medical School, that had been declining for decades to the level of a theoretical School.In the same period even the religious Orders were suppressed and numerous ecclesiastical properties were confiscated.The city expanded beyond the ancient walls and sea connections were potentiated as they represented an important road network that crossed the town connecting the eastern plain with the area leading to Vietri and &lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkfTytEAEfI/AAAAAAAAALg/LsV9ytOaj_s/s1600-h/salerno_1943_corsogaribaldi.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 304px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 209px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352479550196421106" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkfTytEAEfI/AAAAAAAAALg/LsV9ytOaj_s/s320/salerno_1943_corsogaribaldi.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Naples.After the Unity of Italy a slow urban development continued, many suburban areas were enlarged and large public and private buildings were created. The city went on developing till the Second World War. In September 1943, Salerno was the scene of the landing of the allies and from February 12th to July 17th 1944 it gave hospitality to the Government of Badoglio.The post-war period was difficult for all the Italian cities, but Salerno managed to improve little by little and to aim at becoming a modern European city. In recent years the town administration has taken great strides giving a great impulse to the revaluation of the whole urban territory.The rewal of the historical centre has been directed towards the rediscovery of the artistic and cultural treasures of an exceptional land. &lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Storia di Salerno&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il primo insediamento documentato sul territorio di Salerno risale al VI secolo a.C., si tratta di un centro osco-estrusco che sorgeva sul fiume Irno poco lontano dalla costa in un punto strategico per le vie di comunicazione dell'epoca. Nel V secolo a.C., con la ritirata degli etruschi dall'italia &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkfSXMl3qKI/AAAAAAAAALQ/KoB_R-2OWW8/s1600-h/salerno3arechi.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 300px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 225px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352477978112010402" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkfSXMl3qKI/AAAAAAAAALQ/KoB_R-2OWW8/s320/salerno3arechi.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;meridionale, lo stesso insediamento venne occupato dai sanniti.&lt;br /&gt;Nel 197 a.C. viene fondata sulla costa la colonia romana di Salernum. La città si espanse e durante l'impero di Diocleziano divenne il centro amministrativo della .provincia della Lucania e del Bruzio.&lt;br /&gt;Nel 646 Salerno cadde in mano longobarda e divenne parte del ducato di Benevento. Nel 774 il principe Arechi II vi trasferì la corte e nel 839 il principato di Salerno divenne autonomo da Benevento acquisendo i territori del Principato di Capua, la Calabria e la Puglia fino a Taranto.&lt;br /&gt;La realtà della città era caratterizzata da un ambiente multiculturale; il principato era difatti uno stato cuscinetto tra il papato e l'impero, da una parte, e l'oriente bizantino e il mondo islamico dall'altra. Questo quadro politico contribuiva tuttavia anche ad una certa instabilità.&lt;br /&gt;Dal punto di vista commerciale, anche per tramite della vicinissima e potente Amalfi, la città era collegata alle più remote coste del mediterraneo.&lt;br /&gt;In questo contesto sorse intorno al IX secolo la Scuola Medica Salernitana che la tradizione vuole fondata da quattro maestri: un arabo, un ebreo, un latino ed un greco. La scuola fu la prima istituzione per l'insegnamento della medicina nel mondo occidentale e godè di enorme prestigio per tutto il medioevo. La città era una meta obbligata per chi volesse apprendere l'arte medica o farsi curare dai suoi celebri dottori. Questa fama valse a Salerno il titolo di Hippocratica civitas, titolo di cui ancora la città si fregia nel suo stemma.&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkfSXS3xeyI/AAAAAAAAALY/fuPkCnzDmHc/s1600-h/salerno4stemma.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 180px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 180px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352477979797715746" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkfSXS3xeyI/AAAAAAAAALY/fuPkCnzDmHc/s320/salerno4stemma.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Tra il X e il XII secolo la città visse il periodo più florido della sua storia, OPULENTA SALERNUM fu la dizione coniata sulle monete per testimoniarne lo splendore.&lt;br /&gt;Nel 1076 Roberto il Guiscardo conquistò Salerno che divenne capitale dei domini normanni ovvero del ducato di Puglia e Calabria, (titolo appartenuto in precedenza a Melfi) che comprendeva tutta l'italia meridionale. In questo periodo fu fatto costruire il duomo in stile arabo-normanno.&lt;br /&gt;Nel 1127 la capitale del regno passò a Palermo ma Salerno rimase una delle città più importanti del Regno di Sicilia. Con l'avvento degli svevi, ed in seguito degli angioini e degli aragonesi, la città cominciò a perdere di importanza anche a causa della crescita di importanza della vicina Napoli. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Storia contemporanea&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Nel settembre del 1943, durante la seconda guerra mondiale, la città fu teatro del cosiddetto &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkfTywXQq6I/AAAAAAAAALo/ZHhL-nB1k1o/s1600-h/salerno_1943_corsogaribaldi_tribunale.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 254px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352479551082507170" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkfTywXQq6I/AAAAAAAAALo/ZHhL-nB1k1o/s320/salerno_1943_corsogaribaldi_tribunale.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;sbarco di Salerno ovvero dell'operazione Avalanche: con questa operazione gli alleati accedevano alla costa tirrenica della penisola italiana ed aprivano la strada per avanzare verso Roma. Nel periodo che seguì lo sbarco la città ospitò i primi governi dell'Italia post-fascista e la famiglia reale divenendo di fatto capitale d'Italia fino alla liberazione di Roma (metà agosto 1944).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Geschichte von Salerno&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Salerno (in der Antike&lt;a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antike"&gt; &lt;/a&gt;Salernum ( lateinisch) ist eine Hafenstadt am Golf&lt;a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golf_von_Salerno"&gt; &lt;/a&gt;von&lt;a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golf_von_Salerno"&gt; &lt;/a&gt;Salerno, im Süden Italiens, Hauptstadt der Provinz Salerno, in Kampanien. Die Einwohnerzahl beträgt 140.580 (Stand am 31. Dezember 2007).&lt;br /&gt;Salerno ist Erzbischofssitz und seit 1970 Universitätsstadt. Im Mittelalter war die Stadt wegen ihrer &lt;a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schule_von_Salerno"&gt;Ärzteschule&lt;/a&gt; berühmt. Herausragende Bauwerke sind das Castello di Arechi, das teilweise noch aus normannischer Zeit stammt, und der Dom mit seinem mächtigen Turm. Hier befindet sich die Grabstätte des Heiligen Gregor VII. und wohl auch des Evangelisten Matthäus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 300px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 225px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352477973622040242" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkfSW73YJrI/AAAAAAAAALA/GE5ykGF23K4/s320/salerno1.jpg" /&gt;Salerno war ursprünglich eine griechische Siedlung, die im 2. Jahrhundert v. Chr. &lt;a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Römisches_Reich"&gt;römische&lt;/a&gt; Kolonie wurde.&lt;br /&gt;Im 9. Jahrhundert n. Chr. wurde Salerno Hauptstadt eines unabhängigen langobardischen Fürstentums, das aus dem Herzogtum Benevent hervorging.&lt;br /&gt;1077 eroberten die &lt;a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normannen"&gt;Normannen&lt;/a&gt; die Stadt. Unter der Herrschaft des normannischen Herzogs &lt;a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Guiscard"&gt;Robert Guiscard&lt;/a&gt; erlebte sie eine wirtschaftliche Blüte. Einen wissenschaftlichen Aufschwung bescherte die mittelalterliche &lt;a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schule_von_Salerno"&gt;Schule von Salerno&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Im Zweiten Weltkrieg gelang den Alliierten 1943 südlich von Salerno die Landung in Italien. Dem ging das Ausscheiden Italiens aus dem faschistischen Bündnis (Der Achse bzw. dem Antikominternpakt) im Juli und der Waffenstillstand am 8. September voraus. Die wichtigsten Industrieprodukte der Stadt sind Maschinen, Nahrungsmittel und Textilien. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5076230158566866964-8100968366299274922?l=aachen-salerno.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5076230158566866964/posts/default/8100968366299274922'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5076230158566866964/posts/default/8100968366299274922'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aachen-salerno.blogspot.com/2009/06/salerno.html' title='Salerno'/><author><name>aachen-salerno</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07994757577620869704</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkfSW3S_RTI/AAAAAAAAALI/RXpHxBCgRrY/s72-c/salerno2grande.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5076230158566866964.post-3617987509348942422</id><published>2009-05-22T21:16:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2009-10-18T21:17:27.536+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Der Aachener Dom</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Nur in Aachen gibt es ein Bauwerk, das so eng mit Kaiser Karl dem Großen verbunden ist: seine Pfalzkapelle, in anderem Zusammenhang auch Marienkirche, Stiftskirche, Münster genannt, der Aachener Dom. &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkcZ1DJDM6I/AAAAAAAAAIo/R-e3qHXu6qA/s1600-h/Aachen_Cathedral_North_View_at_Evening.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352275081320149922" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkcZ1DJDM6I/AAAAAAAAAIo/R-e3qHXu6qA/s320/Aachen_Cathedral_North_View_at_Evening.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Dieses Bauwerk ist eines der besterhaltenen Baudenkmäler der Karolingerzeit; seine historische Bedeutung ist ebenso unbestritten wie seine wichtige Stellung in der europäischen Architekturgeschichte. Die Manifestation eines "Neuen Roms" - diesen Traum wollte Karl der Große Wirklichkeit werden lassen, als er gegen Ende des 8. Jahrhunderts in Aachen den väterlichen Königshof in eine Pfalz vom Range einer Reichsresidenz umwandelte. Wo heute das Rathaus steht, ließ er sein palatium, seine Pfalz, errichten. Für den christlichen König war es selbstverständlich, dass er neben seiner Residenz auch eine Kirche bauen ließ. Schon unter Karls Vater Pippin war ein kleines christliches Gotteshaus errichtet worden, über dessen Altar sich nun Kaiser Karls Pfalzkapelle erhob. Seine Zeitgenossen führten das "schöne und bewundernswerte Werk der Kirche" unmittelbar auf den Einfluss Karls des Großen zurück. Dem Baumeister Odo von Metz gelang es, das religiöse und politische Gedankengut Karls des Großen in Anlehnung an west- und oströmische Bautraditionen meisterhaft in ein einzigartiges Bauwerk umzusetzen. Die Aachener Marienkirche ist der früheste große kuppelüberwölbte Bau nördlich der Alpen und bleibt in diesem Teil Europas für vier Jahrhunderte der höchste gewölbte Innenraum .&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Ad Aquisgrana c’è una costruzione che è strettamente legata a Carlo Magno la sua Pfalzkappelle, detta anche Marienkirche, Stiftskirche cioè il Duomo &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkcZ1UBiQgI/AAAAAAAAAIw/q8Koc_Nfdlg/s1600-h/AachenDomInsideOktogon.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 178px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352275085852033538" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkcZ1UBiQgI/AAAAAAAAAIw/q8Koc_Nfdlg/s320/AachenDomInsideOktogon.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;di Aquisgrana. Questa costruzione è il miglior monumento del periodo carolingio che ci è pervenuto. Il suo significato storico è sicuramente indiscutibile per la sua testimonianza nella storia dell’architettura europea.&lt;br /&gt;Questo Duomo doveva rappresentare secondo Carlo Magno la manifestazione della “nuova Roma”, egli voleva che questo suo sogno diventasse realtà, quando verso la fine dell’ VIII secolo trasformò il palazzo reale in un palazzo di residenza del suo Regno. Carlo Magno iniziò la costruzione della cappella nel 786. Alla sua morte fu sepolto nella sua cattedrale ove i sui resti sono tuttora conservati in uno scrigno.&lt;br /&gt;Dove oggi è il Municipio, il Rathaus, fece erigere il suo Pfalz il suo Palatium. Per il cristianesimo era chiaro che a fianco ad una residenza si costruisse una chiesa, l’ottagono carolingio è centrale, ad ovest il coro di stile gotico, ad est si trovano le cappelle laterali.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5076230158566866964-3617987509348942422?l=aachen-salerno.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5076230158566866964/posts/default/3617987509348942422'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5076230158566866964/posts/default/3617987509348942422'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aachen-salerno.blogspot.com/2009/06/der-aachener-dom.html' title='Der Aachener Dom'/><author><name>aachen-salerno</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07994757577620869704</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkcZ1DJDM6I/AAAAAAAAAIo/R-e3qHXu6qA/s72-c/Aachen_Cathedral_North_View_at_Evening.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5076230158566866964.post-8813652778276103185</id><published>2009-05-22T20:18:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2009-10-18T21:14:39.359+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Karl der Große</title><content type='html'>Karl der Grosse lebte von 768 bis 814.&lt;br /&gt;800 n.Chr. stellte den Höhepunkt der Macht Karls des &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/Ske0qMxEIdI/AAAAAAAAAKQ/friWStDuI1E/s1600-h/carlo1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352445319227646418" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/Ske0qMxEIdI/AAAAAAAAAKQ/friWStDuI1E/s320/carlo1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Großen dar.

Kaiser Karl der Große war ständig auf Reisen durch sein Reichsgebiet und rastete auf königlichen/kaiserlichen Pfalzen und Höfen, um vor Ort Recht zu sprechen und Gesandte zu empfangen. Karls Lieblingspfalz wurde Aachen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Karl der Große und Aachen&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nur in Aachen gibt es ein Bauwerk, das so eng mit Kaiser Karl dem Großen verbunden ist: seine Pfalzkapelle, der Aachener Dom. Dieses Bauwerk ist eines der besterhaltenen Baudenkmäler der Karolingerzeit.Ein „Neues Rom“ - diesen Traum wollte Karl der Große Wirklichkeit werden lassen, als er in Aachen den Königshof in eine Reichsresidenz umwandelte. Für den christlichen König war es selbstverständlich, dass er neben seiner Residenz auch eine Kirche bauen ließ. Dem Baumeister Odo von Metz gelang es, das religiöse und politische Gedankengut Karls des Großen in ein einzigartiges Bauwerk umzusetzen. Die Aachener Marienkirche ist der früheste große kuppelüberwölbte Bau nördlich der Alpen und bleibt in diesem Teil Europas für vier Jahrhunderte der höchste gewölbte Innenraum. &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/Ske0qMHv1fI/AAAAAAAAAKY/aCsR902rPg0/s1600-h/carlo2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 173px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 251px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352445319054349810" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/Ske0qMHv1fI/AAAAAAAAAKY/aCsR902rPg0/s320/carlo2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;His empire became far greater than&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Charlemagne's empire became far greater than the Byzantine, surpassed in scope only by the realm of the Abbasid caliphate, but suddenly Germany had to protect itself against the Norse, who raided the Frisian coast, and Slavs bent on murderous rampages. Because of this danger, he divided his empire in 806 among his three sons: Pepin, Louis, and Karl. Pepin died in 810, Karl in 811,and only Louis remained. In 813, Louis was elevated from the rank of king to that of emperor, and his father, by then age 72 and in the 47th year of his reign, said: “Blessed be Thou, O Lord God, Who hast granted me the grace to see with my own eyes my son seated on my throne!” Four months later, Karl der Grosse died and was buried under the dome of the cathedral at Aachen, dressed in his imperial robes. He was Carolus Magnus, Karl der Grosse, Charlemagne.&lt;br /&gt;Charlemagne both led and sent his armies far. He subdued the unruly Saxon heathens, giving them a choice between baptism or death, supposedly resulting in the beheading of 4,500 of them in one day. He drove back the advancing Slavs, defeated the Avars, and by the thirty-fourth year of his reign, he could resign himself to peace until his death in 814. He bestowed a governmental structure and unifying faith upon Western Europe which had been torn by religious and political strife for years, and he managed to bring all of the people between the Vistula and the Atlantic, the Baltic and the Pyrenees, nearly all of Italy and much of the Balkans under his rule.&lt;br /&gt;Through the Capitulare missorum, the people of Francia had their own guarantee of equality, justice and freedom from tyranny four centuries before England’s Magna Carta was established. Under Charlemgane's enlightened rule, conscientious effort was made to change barbarism into civilization through legislation pertaining to most aspects of civilized living from religion to government. A great bridge was built across the Rhine at Mainz to produce active trade, a stable currency was maintained and a system of welfare was created and paid for by taxation on the nobles and the clergy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/Ske0qSPeHKI/AAAAAAAAAKg/PrBNgP5INw8/s1600-h/carlo3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 384px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 212px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352445320697355426" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/Ske0qSPeHKI/AAAAAAAAAKg/PrBNgP5INw8/s320/carlo3.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;He called in foreign scholars to restore the schools of France and to teach a school that he organized in the royal palace at Aachen. He sent to England and elsewhere for teachers, and soon the palace school was an active center of study and the birthplace of educational reform that spread throughout the realm. Even Charlemagne and his family were eager pupils. While he studied Latin, he continued to speak German, and he compiled German grammar and specimens of early German poetry. He imported scholars, and out of his schools came the university system of Europe. Charlemagne was profusely generous to the Church, of which he was the master, yet he also had open negotiations with Moslem rulers suggesting fair treatment of their respective minority populations.&lt;br /&gt;What we know as the Holy Roman Empire was born of a noble vision of world peace, order and civilization. German rulers of the 19th century were enamored of the memory of Charlemagne. In 1843, Prussian king Friedrich Wilhelm IV had Charlemagne's tomb opened. His bones were still intact, except for part of the right arm, and his living height was calculated just over 6 feet. In 1861, 1874, and finally 1906 it was opened again. His throne, left Einhard's "The Life of Charlemagne"1880: "Charles was large and strong, and of lofty stature, though not disproportionately tall (his height is well known to have been seven times the length of his foot); the upper part of his head was round, his eyes very large and animated, nose a little long, hair fair, and face laughing and merry. Thus his appearance was always stately and dignified, whether he was standing or sitting; although his neck was thick and somewhat short, and his belly rather prominent; but the symmetry of the rest of his body concealed these defects. His gait was firm, his whole carriage manly, and his voice clear, but not so strong as his size led one to expect. His health was excellent, except during the four years preceding his death, when he was subject to frequent fevers; at the last he even limped a little with one foot. Even in those years he consulted rather his own inclinations than the advice of physicians, who were almost hateful to him, because they wanted him to give up roasts, to which he was accustomed, and to eat boiled meat instead. In accordance with the national custom, he took frequent exercise on horseback and in the chase, accomplishments in which scarcely any people in the world can equal the Franks. He enjoyed the exhalations from natural warm springs, and often practised swimming, in which he was such an adept that none could surpass him; and hence it was that he built his palace at Aixla-Chapelle, and lived there constantly during his latter years until his death. He used not only to invite his sons to his bath, but his nobles and friends, and now and then a troop of his retinue or body guard, so that a hundred or more persons sometimes bathed with him."&lt;br /&gt;He was so fond of his six daughters that he talked them out of marriage, and they consequently consoled themselves with a variety of love affairs and bore many illegitimate children, which Charlemagne accepted with affection, since he himself had four successive wives and five mistresses or concubines who bore him eighteen children, of whom only eight were legitimate. He was said to be moderate in his eating and drinking, loathed drunkenness, and maintained good health. He rarely entertained, and instead enjoyed music and a good book. He had almost a clairvoyant intelligence, extreme vitality, unbridled enthusiasm for science, law, literature, and theology; he mocked superstition yet sometimes employed soothsayers. He spoke directly and honestly, and could be ruthless when required, especially in regard to spreading Christianity. Yet, he was at the same time kind, charitable and emotional.&lt;br /&gt;The Moslem governor of Barcelona asked for his help in defeating the caliph of Cordova, another Moslem, and in the year 777, Karl led the army across the Pyrenees until he realized he had &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkfJzV1O34I/AAAAAAAAAKo/EG8gudZlM-0/s1600-h/carlo4.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 287px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352468566024052610" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkfJzV1O34I/AAAAAAAAAKo/EG8gudZlM-0/s320/carlo4.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;been deceived. As he led his army back through the mountains, the Basques attacked his rear guard and killed nearly every man in the squad led by Karl's nephew Roland, a battle later immortalized in song and story. In 795, Karl returned and conquered part of northeast Spain before again assaulting the persistent Lombards in Italy, a feat for which Pope Leo III crowned him Emperor of the Romans on Christmas Day in 800 AD.&lt;br /&gt;Charlemagne made military service a condition of owning land and created a system of knighthood and noblemen, along with a whole code of moral behavior in order to build a strong military. Building upon the Roman system of feudalism, Charlemagne enabled this new noble military class to ensure the well-being of serfs who would in turn provide and supply the needs of the nobleman and his militarily. In this well planned society, Charlemagne can be considered the Father of Feudalism. He formed a structured society based on public participation in the government with assemblies of armed property owners, and he respectfully delegated various individual responsibilities to all.&lt;br /&gt;It was Charlemagne who first attempted to organize his kingdom by dividing his power with various levels of government: an aristocrat appointed as Count controlled the lords and nobles who in turn controlled the serfs or peasants on the fief of each knight. The counts took care of administrative tasks and supervised Church business and an appointed Bishop headed a diocese within certain borders. In those areas where there were potentially volatile situations, Charlemagne appointed a Margrave. By his formulation of the Chapters of Legislation, once a year they all traveled to the king's court at Aachen to convene and to discuss governmental business. Here they presented items for oral vote (out of the jurata, a custom in ninth century Frankish lands where a sworn group of inquirers was used to decide many local issues from land ownership to criminal guilt, came the jury system of modern times). In between these meetings, Charlemagne traveled to the various capitalsof the region, and held assemblies of the nobles where they would hash things out and come to agreement on various issues. They also shared a good time with much joking and talking. Between meetings, a group of emissaries called the missi dominici travelled throughout the kingdom hearing complaints and making sure that things were running smoothly and also collected taxes.&lt;br /&gt;Karl der Große was born of German blood and German language at a place unknown. He could speak ancient Teuton, Latin and Greek and he became king at age twenty-nine. Karl, the second son of Bertrada and Pepin the Short, was born in 751, the year that Pepin declared himself King of the Franks. In 754, Pepin successfully convinced Pope Stephen II to crown him in exchange for defending Italy against the Germanic Lombards, a tribe occupying central and northern Italy. Karl saw war as a child riding with his father's army, and he would continue to personally and physically lead men into battle throughout 53 campaigns in the course of building his &lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkfJz1M72YI/AAAAAAAAAK4/uIBaSwHOVvE/s1600-h/carlo6.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 225px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352468574444968322" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkfJz1M72YI/AAAAAAAAAK4/uIBaSwHOVvE/s320/carlo6.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;empire.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Charlemagne took over the governing of Aachen in 768 AD. The imperial palace was located by the source of warm springs and soon became Charlemagne's permanent residence. As years went by, the town became more and more prosperous. Charlemagne was buried in the Cathedral of Aachen, the construction of which he had personally overseen in 824. The town's ties with Charlemagne were reflected in its numerous architectural heirlooms and memorials.&lt;br /&gt;In 936, Otto I was crowned emperor in the cathedral and the Holy Roman Emperors were crowned in Aachen for the next 600 years. &lt;a href="http://www.exulanten.com/hohendyn.html"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During the 9th and 10th centuries, Charlemagnes empire was basically divided into two parts, German and French. In the French half (most of present day France), most of the population spoke dialects of Latin, while in the German half, German was spoken... and still is. The Oath of Strasbourg, a document from 842, was written in German and French in recognition of this division and made it official. The French portion of the Frankish kingdom remained united while the German portion broke into many independent states that were not united until 1870.&lt;br /&gt;The concept of feudalism was a combination of German and Roman practices developed and practiced most widely by the Franks, a large confederation of Germanic tribes who, wanting freedom from both other Germans and the Romans, united in the 3rd century AD and adopted the common name "Frank" (derived either from the word "Free" or "Spear"). They were the most successful of the German tribes and by the 4th century, many of them were living in the area of Belgium and the Rhineland as allies of Rome, while other Franks were living in adjacent German territory. The Franks maintained independence and later helped defeat the Huns who were terrorizing Europe.&lt;br /&gt;Since they lived close to the Romans in Gaul for so long, the Franks developed and modeled their &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkfJzuKNEmI/AAAAAAAAAKw/CNj3VoDEwiA/s1600-h/carlo5.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 148px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 196px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352468572554465890" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkfJzuKNEmI/AAAAAAAAAKw/CNj3VoDEwiA/s320/carlo5.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;own kingdoms in a similar manner to Roman civilization and once Roman authority was gone in the 5th century, many of these Frankish kingdoms united under Merovich (reigned 448-458) whose grandson, Clovis (reigned 481-511) converted to Christianity. The Franks conquered southern France and large parts of Germany. The Franks were so efficient and successful that all Germanic peoples grew to be considered "Franks". The Christian Frankish kingdom continued to develop throughout the 6th century. Unlike the Romans, where officials were selected more for their ability, the ancient German tribes believed that their clan's ruling dynasties were descended from the gods. The Franks incorporated their pagan belief into their new Christianity by having their leaders "annointed" by a bishop. This adaptation to an old German concept allowed the Church to develope the idea of the "Divine Right of Kings", a leader chosen by God. The Franks turned the Roman estate practices into what became known as the Manor System .&lt;br /&gt;By the 8th century, the Frankish warrior on horseback was superior to any European infantry force, and from the 700s to the 1200s, they controled the battlefield. But since maintaining the lifestyle of these knights was an expensive proposition with their costly equipment and families to support, the Frankish kings decided to to introduce a system that would provide trained soliders for the crown and also put reliable men in local positions of authority throughout the kingdom by combining the manor system with all their knights. The German noble was therefore surrounded by loyal lesser nobles and commoners in a fellowship bound together for mutual protection, and although they farmed and hunted, war was, by the nature of the times, a central element in their lives. The Frankish kingdom culminated in one man: Charlemagne. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5076230158566866964-8813652778276103185?l=aachen-salerno.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5076230158566866964/posts/default/8813652778276103185'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5076230158566866964/posts/default/8813652778276103185'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aachen-salerno.blogspot.com/2009/06/karl-der-groe.html' title='Karl der Große'/><author><name>aachen-salerno</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07994757577620869704</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/Ske0qMxEIdI/AAAAAAAAAKQ/friWStDuI1E/s72-c/carlo1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5076230158566866964.post-2496975152331569271</id><published>2009-05-22T18:45:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2009-10-18T21:14:21.836+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Der Kölner Dom &amp; Duomo di Salerno</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Der Kölner Dom&lt;br /&gt;Der offizielle Name der Kirche ist "Hohe Domkirche St. Peter und Maria". &lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkefDdQ9mHI/AAAAAAAAAJI/hMm6I720SyQ/s1600-h/kolner+dom_.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 216px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 327px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352421563897321586" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkefDdQ9mHI/AAAAAAAAAJI/hMm6I720SyQ/s320/kolner+dom_.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Es ist eine roemisch katholische Kirche. Der Koelner Dom ist die bedeutendste und beliebteste Sehenswuerdigkeit Deutschlands.&lt;br /&gt;Das Hauptschiff des Kölner Domes ist mit 144,00 Metern das längste Kirchenschiff Deutschlands und eines der längsten der Welt. Mit einer Gewölbehöhe von 43,35 Metern hat der Kölner Dom nach der Kathedrale von Beauvais (48,50) das zweithöchste Gewölbe der Welt. Außerdem ist sie die dritthöchste Kirche der Welt. In dem kunstvoll vergoldeten bedeutendsten Schrein des Abendlandes, dem Dreikönigenschrein, ruhen Gebeine, die als Reliquien der Heiligen Drei Könige angesehen werden. Der Bau des Domes begann am 15. August 1248 und wurde am 15. oktober 1880 fertiggestellt. Es dauerte viele Jahrhunderte, da die Leute damals kein Geld hatten um den Bau zu vollenden. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;The church official name is ‘ High Cathedral of St. Peter and Maria’. It is a Roman Catholic church. The cathedral of Cologne is the most important and most popular sightseeing of Germany. &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkefDD2zkOI/AAAAAAAAAJA/iZnmsoVIR18/s1600-h/kolner+dom.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 222px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 265px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352421557076725986" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkefDD2zkOI/AAAAAAAAAJA/iZnmsoVIR18/s320/kolner+dom.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The nave of the Cologne Cathedral is 144 metres long - the longest nave in Germany and one of the longest in the world. The arches in the dome of Cologne have a height of 43,35 metres - and these are the second highest arches in the world besides those in Beauvais (48,50 metres). Furthemore, the Cologne Cathedral is the third highest dome in the world. In the artificial aureate and most important shrine of Occident, called the "Three-Kings-Shrine", some mortal remains are resting which are considered to be the relics of the Three Magi. The Cathedral construction started on 15 April 1248 and it was only finished on 15 October 1880. It took several centuries, because in those days people did not have enough money to finish the construction. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Duomo di Salerno&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Salerno Cathedral or Duomo is the main church of the city of Salerno in southern Italy. It is considered the main tourist attraction of the city. It is dedicated to Saint Matthew one of the four Evangelists, whose tomb is inside the Cripta. The Cathedral was built at the center of the Longobard and Norman Salerno, when the city was the capital of the principality of Salerno, in southern Italy (that stretched from the gulf of Naples to the Ionian sea). Begun by Robert Guiscard in 1076 during the episcopate of Alfano I on a pre-existing church (in turn erected over a Roman temple's ruins), the Duomo was consecrated by Pope Gregory VII in 1085.It was several times modified in the following centuries. In 1688 the architect &lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkekAgmwgMI/AAAAAAAAAJg/z6p47jEYu7o/s1600-h/duomosalerno1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 314px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 252px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352427010812575938" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkekAgmwgMI/AAAAAAAAAJg/z6p47jEYu7o/s320/duomosalerno1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Ferdinando Sanfelice remodeled in Neapolitan Baroque and Rococo Architecture the interior of the Duomo. Finally, a restoration in the 1930s brought it back to an appearance similar to the original one. Historically the Duomo is remembered as the initial symbol of the Italian Renaissance, because inside there it is the tomb of Pope Gregory VII, the Pope of Canossa who started the rejection from Italy of the German domination of the Holy Roman Empire.&lt;br /&gt;The most striking external feature is the bell tower (mid-12th century), with small arcades and mullioned windows, standing 56 m high and in Arabic-Norman style. The façade has a Romanesque portal with Byzantine-style bronze doors from Constantinople (1099), with 56 panels with figures, crosses and stories from Jesus's life. The entrance has a portico with 28 antique columns whose pointed arches, with lava rock intarsia, show influence of Arab art, and contains a series of ancient Roman sarcophagi.&lt;br /&gt;The interior has a nave and two aisles, divided by pilasters in which the original columns are embedded, and three apses. Artworks include &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/Sker-sc56AI/AAAAAAAAAJo/9mwdP-xrD50/s1600-h/duomosalerno3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 307px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 227px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352435775725758466" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/Sker-sc56AI/AAAAAAAAAJo/9mwdP-xrD50/s320/duomosalerno3.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;two pulpits with mosaic decorations, paintings by Francesco Solimena, a 14th century Gothic statue of Madonna with Child and the sepulchres of queen Margherita of Durazzo, of Roger Borsa and of archbishop Bartolomeo d'Arpano, and the tomb of Gregory VII.&lt;br /&gt;The crypt, believed to house the remains of St. Matthew, is a groin vaulted hall with a basilica-like plan divided by columns. It was restored under design by Domenico Fontana in 1606-1608, with marble decorations added in the 18th century.&lt;br /&gt;The Duomo was damaged during the Operation Avalanche, when the Allies landed in Salerno in September 1943, during World War II.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;The Duomo Museum houses artworks from different ages, including the silver statues of the Salernitane Martyrs (13th century) and documents of the renowned Schola Medica Salernitana (the first University of Europe). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ein herrliches Zeugnis romanischer Kunst stellt der Dom vonSalerno dar. Es handelt sich um den repräsentativsten Bau der Stadt. Die Erbauung begann 1076 auf Streben des Robert Guiscard und des Abts von Montecassino Alfano, der später Bischof der Stadt wurde. Die Arbeiten am Gotteshaus zogen sich bis ins Jahr 1085 hin, als es dann vom nach Salerno verbannten Papst Gregor VII. persönlich geweiht wurde. Der Dom ist dem Apostel Matthäus geweiht, dessen Gebeine gemeinsam mit denen anderer Märtyrer aus Salerno in der Krypta verwahrt sind. In &lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkefoqxPdAI/AAAAAAAAAJY/eJJQgj9dnF8/s1600-h/duomosalerno2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 387px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 175px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352422203177530370" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkefoqxPdAI/AAAAAAAAAJY/eJJQgj9dnF8/s320/duomosalerno2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;der ersten Hälfte des 18. Jahrhunderts wurde der Bau umfassend barockisiert und zwischen 1930-31 und abermals 1955 und 1961 in seine Originalform rückgebaut. Über eine Freitreppe aus dem Seicento gelangt man zur romanischen Löwenpforte, deren Name auf die zwei ruhenden Wildkatzenstatuen an deren Seiten zurückzuführen ist - einen Löwen und eine stillende Löwin -. Von dieser Pforte erreicht man den geräumigen Atriumshof, der von Spoliensäulen gerahmt ist: hier sind ein Becken aus dem unweit gelegenen Paestum, einige Sarkophage aus mittelalterlicher sowie klassischer Epoche zu sehen und der zwischen 1137 und 1145 erbaute Campanile von unbestreitbarem maurischem Stil. Der Zugang in das Kircheninnere erfolgt durch eine byzantinische Bronzetür, die sich in der Mitte der Fassade befindet. Im dreischiffigen Innern mit kreuzförmigem Grundriss sind bedeutende Grabmonumente verwahrt, die aus römischen Sarkophagen realisiert sind. Man findet das Grab der Königin Margherita di Durazzo, des Meisters Antonio Baboccio, die Hauptkanzel aus dem XIII. Jahrhundert und den älteren Ambo aus dem Jahre 1181. Von großem Interesse sind auch einige Gemälde des F. Solimena, der Boden im Chor, die Mosaiken der drei Apsiden, unter denen die rechte Apsis hervortritt, die auch Gregor VII. Kapelle genannt wird, weil hier die Reste des Papstes beigesetzt sind, doch nannte man sie auch Kreuzzugkapelle, denn man segnete hier die Waffen derer, die ins Heilige Land zogen. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5076230158566866964-2496975152331569271?l=aachen-salerno.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5076230158566866964/posts/default/2496975152331569271'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5076230158566866964/posts/default/2496975152331569271'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aachen-salerno.blogspot.com/2009/06/der-kolner-domduomo-di-salerno.html' title='Der Kölner Dom &amp; Duomo di Salerno'/><author><name>aachen-salerno</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07994757577620869704</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkefDdQ9mHI/AAAAAAAAAJI/hMm6I720SyQ/s72-c/kolner+dom_.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5076230158566866964.post-6773326024547863935</id><published>2009-05-21T23:46:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2009-10-18T21:13:33.302+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Testimonianze Normanne a Salerno_Norman Remains in Salerno</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Il periodo Normanno lascia a Salerno un secolo circa di intensa partecipazione alle vicende storiche del tempo, i Normanni ingrandirono la cinta muraria che arrivò a circa 3000 metri, fu costruito il Duomo di San Matteo ed il Campanile romanico, fu eretto Castel Terracena, &lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkcS-UfUCKI/AAAAAAAAAIA/GYyS7WILbto/s1600-h/Acquedotto_medievale_di_Salerno.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352267544014358690" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkcS-UfUCKI/AAAAAAAAAIA/GYyS7WILbto/s320/Acquedotto_medievale_di_Salerno.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;palazzo Reale e sede dei principali eventi cittadini, fu costruito l'acquedotto romanico che attraversa l'attuale via Arce. Nel contempo la Scuola Medica Salernitana divenne uno "Studium" riconosciuto in tutta Europa.&lt;br /&gt;L'acquedotto medievale di Salerno è stato eretto nel IX secolo per approvvigionare d'acqua il monastero di San Benedetto, presso le mura orientali.&lt;br /&gt;È costituito da due rami: uno proveniente dalle colline a nord, l'altro dalle alture ad est della città; entrambi si ricongiungevano all'altezza dell'attuale via Arce (che dai loro archi prende il nome), presso uno spigolo delle antiche mura cittadine. In un primo momento rifornirono solo il monastero benedettino, in seguito una diramazione sotterranea permise di rifornire anche il convento della Piantanova, in via Mercanti.&lt;br /&gt;Corre in parte su arcate, per le quali venne utilizzato per la prima volta l'arco ogivale.&lt;br /&gt;L'acquedotto è stato ribattezzato popolarmente "Ponti del Diavolo" e si raccontava che fosse stato costruito in una sola notte, con l'aiuto dei demoni, dal mago salernitano del XII secolo Pietro Barliario. La superstizione popolare riteneva, inoltre, che avventurarsi sotto gli archi tra l'imbrunire e l'alba avrebbe portato all'incontro con diavoli o spiriti .&lt;br /&gt;Inoltre, l'utilizzo dell' arco ogivale, vera novità architettonica dell'epoca, deve aver probabilmente spaventato, e non poco, l'impressionabile popolino.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;In about one century of intense participation in the historical events of the time, the Normans enlarged Salerno walls, that were about 3,000 metres long, they built Saint Matthew’s Cathedral and the Romanesque bell tower, they erected Terracena Castle and a Royal Castle.&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkcS-ddo8cI/AAAAAAAAAII/xelTFgsaSQY/s1600-h/Ponte_dei_Diavoli.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 305px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352267546423259586" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkcS-ddo8cI/AAAAAAAAAII/xelTFgsaSQY/s320/Ponte_dei_Diavoli.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;They also built the Romanesque aqueduct that crosses the present-day Via Arce and founded the Salerno School of Medicine, which began a “Studium” acknowledged all over the Europe.&lt;br /&gt;The Romanesque aqueduct of Salerno was built in the 14th century to provide water to San Benedetto’s Cathedral, near the oriental walls.&lt;br /&gt;It is made up of two branches: one from the north hills, a second branch from the hills to the east of the town; both were rejoined in present-day Via Arce (whose name is derived from their arcs) near an edge of the ancient walls. In a first moment they supplied only the Benedictine monastery, later an underground ramification allowed to supply the convent of the Piantanova, in the Merchants street.&lt;br /&gt;It runs partly on arcades, for which the ogival arc was used for the first time.&lt;br /&gt;The aqueduct was renamed "Bridges of the Devil" and people say that it had been built in one night, with the help of demons, by the magician of the XII century Pietro Barliario. Popular superstition held, besides, that to venture under the arcs between dusk and dawn would have led to the meeting with devils or spirits.&lt;br /&gt;Besides, the use of the ogival arc, true architectural novelty of that age, must probably have frightened, and not a little, the sensitive inhabitants of the area.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5076230158566866964-6773326024547863935?l=aachen-salerno.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5076230158566866964/posts/default/6773326024547863935'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5076230158566866964/posts/default/6773326024547863935'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aachen-salerno.blogspot.com/2009/06/testimonianze-normanne-salernonorman.html' title='Testimonianze Normanne a Salerno_Norman Remains in Salerno'/><author><name>aachen-salerno</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07994757577620869704</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkcS-UfUCKI/AAAAAAAAAIA/GYyS7WILbto/s72-c/Acquedotto_medievale_di_Salerno.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5076230158566866964.post-467985182747674970</id><published>2009-05-21T22:46:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2009-10-18T21:12:54.726+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Roemerthermen Zuelpich</title><content type='html'>Die Badekultur ist keine Erfindung der Römer. Schon im alten Mesopotamien gab es Großbauten mit Badewannen und Toiletten-Anlagen, wie z.B. im Palast von Mari (2350 v. Chr.). &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkfXUbz_zcI/AAAAAAAAAMA/dAVRpF2vQ8k/s1600-h/zuel1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 250px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 169px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352483428216327618" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkfXUbz_zcI/AAAAAAAAAMA/dAVRpF2vQ8k/s320/zuel1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Die Römer übernahmen die Idee der öffentlichen Sport- und Waschanstalten (Gymnasien) aus den hellenistischen Städten des griechischen Raums. Neu ist bei ihnen die Standardisierung des Badens im gesamten Römischen Reich über eine genau definierte Abfolge von Badegängen in öffentlichen Badehäusern. Badekultur war Bestandteil des täglichen Lebens, auch in den Provinzen. Dort verzichteten die Bewohner nicht auf Badeluxus. Die Architekten legten Wert auf eine repräsentative Wirkung der Thermen. Die von Archäologen in Zülpich geborgenen Funde beweisen dies: Zum Beispiel gibt es Fragmente von Bauschmuck. Die Wände waren nach dem damaligen Zeitgeschmack mehrfarbig gefasst und durch Ornamente geschmückt. &lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Das römische Badehaus&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In den 30er Jahren entdeckten Archäologen in Zülpich eine der besterhaltenen Römerthermen nördlich der Alpen. Der sensationelle Fund wurde damals durch einen einfachen Schutzbau abgesichert. &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkfXUe_Ox4I/AAAAAAAAAMI/p32HDnb-nUU/s1600-h/zuel2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 250px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 221px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352483429068752770" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkfXUe_Ox4I/AAAAAAAAAMI/p32HDnb-nUU/s320/zuel2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Als dieser wegen Baufälligkeit abgetragen werden musste, entschloss man sich in Zülpich, die knapp 400 Quadratmeter große Thermenanlage mit einem Museum zur Kulturgeschichte des Badens zu überbauen.&lt;br /&gt;Der jetzt entstandene Rundgang gibt einen Einblick in die Geschichte des Badens – von der Römerzeit bis heute. Der Besuch eines Badehauses (Thermen) gehörte zum Alltag der Römer.&lt;br /&gt;Die Bevölkerung nutzte das Badehaus nicht nur zum Baden, sondern auch als gesellschaftlichen Treffpunkt. Jede Stadt besaß ein solches Badehaus. Die Anzahl der Thermen war von der Größe der Siedlung und ihrer Einwohnerzahl abhängig. Oft wurde Wert auf eine luxuriöse Ausstattung gelegt. An der mehr oder weniger aufwändigen Gestaltung der Thermen ließ sich der Wohlstand der betreffend. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wie badeten die Römer?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Herzstück einer jeden römischen Thermenanlage ist der Kreislauf von Frischwasserzufuhr, &lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkfXUt7bodI/AAAAAAAAAMQ/w8k7HJy41JA/s1600-h/zuel3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 250px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 189px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352483433079349714" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkfXUt7bodI/AAAAAAAAAMQ/w8k7HJy41JA/s320/zuel3.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Wassererwärmung und die Ableitung des gebrauchten Wassers. Aus dem Mittelmeerraum waren die Römer an eine sehr effiziente Wassernutzung gewohnt.&lt;br /&gt;Dies ist auch in Zülpich zu erkennen: Zuerst wurde das Wasser als Badewasser genutzt, dann zur Reinigung weiterverwendet, um anschließend als Spülwasser für die Latrine nochmals zum Einsatz zu kommen. Der Wasserbedarf war nicht unerheblich.&lt;br /&gt;en Stadt ablesen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Der Grundriss&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Der Grundriss einer Thermenanlage war im gesamten Römischen Reich gleich. Er bestand aus der Abfolge von drei Räumen: dem Kaltbad, dem Warmbad und dem Heißbad. Vor dieser Raumflucht lag ein Umkleideraum. &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkfXUl2BCkI/AAAAAAAAAMY/s6olYqFnHOA/s1600-h/zuel4.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 250px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 194px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352483430909151810" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkfXUl2BCkI/AAAAAAAAAMY/s6olYqFnHOA/s320/zuel4.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Diese Abfolge findet man auch bei den römischen Thermen in Zülpich. Gebaut wurden sie Mitte des 2. Jahrhunderts n. Chr. Zur festen Ausstattung gehörte neben der Fußboden- und Wandheizung je eine Wanne im Kalt- und im Heißbaderaum. Sie wurden später um je eine zusätzliche Wanne ergänzt. Ein Kanal südlich der Thermen entsorgte das Abwasser und spülte gleichzeitig die Latrinenanlage. Der Rundgang durch die Thermen konnte durch einen Besuch im trockenen Schwitzraum oder der Außenanlage variiert werden. Im Zuge des 3. Jahrhunderts wurde der Gebäudekomplex um eine „basilica thermarum“ ergänzt. Ab da konnte in dieser Mehrzweckhalle auch Sport getrieben werden. Zur selben Zeit erhielten die Thermen ein zweites Warm- und ein Heißluftbad, was auf rege Nutzung der Bewohner Tolbiacums, so hieß Zülpich bei den Römern, schließen lässt. In dieser Form bestand die Thermenanlage bis zum Beginn des 4. Jahrhunderts n. Chr.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Die Technik&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Herzstück einer jeden römischen Thermenanlage ist der Kreislauf von Frischwasserzufuhr, Wassererwärmung und die Ableitung des gebrauchten Wassers.

Der Wasserbedarf war nicht unerheblich. In Ermangelung chemischer Aufbereitung musste das Badewasser häufiger ausgewechselt werden. Die Erwärmung der Baderäume erfolgte in Zülpich durch insgesamt fünf Feuerstellen. Besonderes Merkmal der Thermen in Zülpich sind die zum Teil gut erhaltenen Fußböden aus Terrazzo. Diese Fußböden ruhen auf Pfeilern aus Ziegeln. Dazwischen konnte die erzeugte Wärme zirkulieren, über Kanäle in den Wänden hochsteigen und von dort bis zum Dach gelangen. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5076230158566866964-467985182747674970?l=aachen-salerno.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5076230158566866964/posts/default/467985182747674970'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5076230158566866964/posts/default/467985182747674970'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aachen-salerno.blogspot.com/2009/06/roemerthermen-zuelpich.html' title='Roemerthermen Zuelpich'/><author><name>aachen-salerno</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07994757577620869704</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkfXUbz_zcI/AAAAAAAAAMA/dAVRpF2vQ8k/s72-c/zuel1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5076230158566866964.post-352243921983936518</id><published>2009-05-21T09:27:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2009-10-18T21:13:55.174+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Das Hahnentor</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Dieses Tor, "nova porta", hat eine Durchfahrtshöhe von 8m und eine Breite von 6m.

It is halfway along an ideal route that runs along the axis of the walled and terraced vegetables gardens, climbing from the Municipal Park,near the River Fusandola, towards the Arechi Castle. Later on, Matteo Silvatico created a garden of simples here, a forerunner of all future botanical &lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/ShL0cXoC7jI/AAAAAAAAAGw/HAau7Qx_H_o/s1600-h/exchange_4_02.10.2008_salerno+(39).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 227px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 305px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337597276602953266" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/ShL0cXoC7jI/AAAAAAAAAGw/HAau7Qx_H_o/s320/exchange_4_02.10.2008_salerno+(39).JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;gardens in Europe. Silvatico’s great work, entitled Opus "pandectarum medicinae", provides us with the first description of the garden: ”…and I have a taro, in Salerno, in my garden, near a well known spring.” Matteo Silvatico made a name for himself as a distinguished doctor of the School of Salerno with a great knowledge of plants used in the production of medicines. Matteo became very well know. So much so in fact that the King of Naples, Robert of Anjou, wanted him as one of his personal doctors, granting him the title of miles as a mark of his gratitude and generosity. Silvatico’s main work was the Opus Pandectarum Medicinae, a lexicon on simples, mostly of plant origin. The Pandects are comprised of 721 chapters dealing with plants, minerals, animals and simples which we were unable to define. The chapters of the Pandects open with the name of the simple, then followed by the list of synonyms (Latin, Arabic and Greek), the morphological description taken from illustrious authors or from personal experience, and the complexion (that is to say the ”nature” of the simple), closing with a list of their therapeutic properties. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;In Salerno mediaeval therapies and, consequently the study of medical botany, were essentially based on the “doctrine of the four humours”. In its turn, this doctrine was based on the ancient “theory of elements”. The concept of "harmony" that supports and governs the composition of matter is not static, but exists in a continuos unstable balance. It is the result of a balanced antagonism of opposite forces inherent to things. The harmony that supports the universe also supports man, giving him his health. When this balance is upset it causes illness. The Pythagoreans saw life as being comprised of four elements: earth, air, fire and water, which correspond to four qualities: dry, cold, hot and moist. The humours (blood, black bile, yellow bile and phlegm) correspond to the four elements (air, earth, fire and water) and possess the same characteristics. The humours and, thus, the elements have a direct relationship with the so-called "primary qualities" they possess: hot, cold, moist and dry. &lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/ShL1v6VagpI/AAAAAAAAAG4/02LLiY4VZ38/s1600-h/salerno_21.08.07+(29)+giardini+della+minerva.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 231px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 304px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337598711849190034" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/ShL1v6VagpI/AAAAAAAAAG4/02LLiY4VZ38/s320/salerno_21.08.07+(29)+giardini+della+minerva.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/ShL1v6VagpI/AAAAAAAAAG4/02LLiY4VZ38/s1600-h/salerno_21.08.07+(29)+giardini+della+minerva.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Der Garten der Minerva&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Der garten der Minerva war der erste botanische Garten in Europa, in dem Pflanzen fuer therapeutische Zwecke gepflanzt wurden. Er liegt im Herzen der Stadt in der naehe des Fusandola Fluss und der alten Mauern. Manche Teile des Gartens wurden schon vor 1300 Jahren errichtet. Es gibt eine Fontaene auf der Terasse und eine Treppe, die zu einer schoenen aussicht fuehrt. Der Garten gehoert Mathew Silvatico,einem Doktor der Medizin, und er war ein Platz fuer die Studenten der Schule fuer Medizin.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Der Kräutergarten von Karl des Grossen&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;“Capitulare de villis”&lt;br /&gt;Bei Gut Melaten ist ein Garten nach dem "Capitulare de villis vel curtis imperialibus" Karls des Großen entstanden.

Im Karlsgarten in Melaten sind Kräuter und Stauden vollständig aufgereiht wie sie im Kapitulare verzeichnet sind. Mönche und Beamte haben als Berater der kaiserlichen Kanzlei diese Kapitulare verfasst, für die Zusammenstellung der Pflanzenliste bezogen sie ihr Wissen aus Büchern antiker Autoren, sowie aus eigenen langjährigen Erfahrungen und Kulturtraditionen klösterlicher Gärtner und Gärten.Auch im kleinen Capitularegarten am Rathaus auf der Seite zum Katschhof ist eine Auswahl dieser Kapitular-Pflanzen zu sehen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pflanzenlisten&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Im 70.

Er ist kein historischer Garten da es keine Überlieferung gibt, dass ein Garten im Mittelalter tatsächlich in dieser oder einer ähnlichen Ausführung existiert hat. Er erinnert an Karl den Großen, der durch Reformen und Gesetzestexte (Capitularien) sein Reich von Grund auf erneuerte. Das bekannteste und in seiner Nachwirkung bedeutendste Werk dieser Art ist das „Capitulare de villis vel curtis imperialibus", das in einer Abschrift erhalten geblieben ist. Karl der Große sorgte darin nicht nur für sein eigenes, geregeltes Auskommen, sondern auch für den Wohlstand seiner Untergebenen und schuf damit die erste Sozial- und (Land-)Wirtschaftsordnung des Mittelalters.&lt;br /&gt;Im 70. Kapitel der Verordnung sind über 90 Pflanzen aufgelistet, die auf jedem königlichen Hofgut verfügbar sein sollten. Mönche als Berater und Beamte der kaiserlichen Kanzlei haben das Capitulare verfasst. Für die Zusammenstellung der Pflanzenliste haben sie aus Büchern über das Wissen antiker Autoren ebenso geschöpft wie aus der langen Erfahrung und Kulturtradition klösterlicher Gärtner und Gärten.&lt;br /&gt;Kaiser Karl der Große (747-814) erkannte die Bedeutung der Kräuter. Er schuf ein Gesetz, das »Capitulare de villis et curtis«, in dem es Klöstern und Städten zur Pflicht gemacht wurde, Nutzgärten anzulegen. Dort mußten neben 20 Obstsorten auch 75 festgelegte Heil- und Gewürzpflanzen angebaut werde.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Karl der Große empfahl in seinem Werk "Capitulare de villis" den Anbau von Salbei. Im 14. Jahrhundert stand die Pflanze in der berühmten medizinischen Schule von Salerno im höchsten Ansehen: "Cur moriatur homo, cui salvia crescit in horte ?" - " Warurm stirbt der Mensch, wenn Salbei im Garten wächst?" &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Il giardino di Carlo Magno è situato nella zona ovest di Aquisgrana nell’area di Gut-Melaten: Questo non è un giardino storico perché non ci è pervenuta alcuna testimonianza, però ricorda come lo concepì Carlo Magno attraverso le sue riforme e le sue leggi (Capitularien)&lt;br /&gt;Nel corso del Medioevo la forma d'arte del giardino risente della complessità delle situazioni politiche e religiose e delle profonde trasformazioni storiche, sociali e culturali che caratterizzano i secoli a cavallo dell'anno Mille. Nelle sue tre diverse connotazioni formali, il giardino del borgo, quello del monastero e quello del castello, tale forma d'arte mantiene tuttavia una serie di implicazioni di carattere ideologico e simbolico, che ci vengono documentate dai trattati scientifici ma anche dalla produzione letteraria del tempo. L'arte del giardino e la trasmissione del sapere botanico sopravvivono, dunque, nel corso dell'Alto Medioevo, grazie a maestri giardinieri che lavorano presso nobili, sovrani e uomini di chiesa, e soprattutto grazie alle comunità monastiche. botaniche che i monaci acquisiscono, annotano in calendari, scritti e miniature e provvedono a far circolare attraverso gli scambi con altri centri religiosi. Il tentativo di recupero della cultura classica ed il nuovo impulso dato all'arte del giardino sono tra gli aspetti della Rinascenza Carolingia. È opera di Carlo Magno infatti il Capitulare de villis vel curtis imperii, trattato che comprende un elenco di 89 specie di piante, alberi e fiori redatto dall'imperatore al fine di fornire indicazioni precise sulle specie da coltivare nei suoi possedimenti. In età carolingia dunque si arricchisce il sapere relativo ai giardini, agli orti ed alle piante medicinali e ciò avviene anche grazie ai rapporti intessuti con l'Islam dal quale provengono nuove conoscenze botaniche e nuove specie vegetali, importate dalla Spagna e dall'Oriente.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5076230158566866964-7094596290883663233?l=aachen-salerno.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5076230158566866964/posts/default/7094596290883663233'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5076230158566866964/posts/default/7094596290883663233'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aachen-salerno.blogspot.com/2009/05/minerva-gardensder-krautergarten-von.html' title='The Garden of Minerva &amp; Der Kräutergarten von Karl des Grossen'/><author><name>aachen-salerno</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07994757577620869704</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/ShL0cXoC7jI/AAAAAAAAAGw/HAau7Qx_H_o/s72-c/exchange_4_02.10.2008_salerno+(39).JPG' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5076230158566866964.post-1199075143178211114</id><published>2009-05-19T15:18:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2009-10-18T21:10:37.116+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Salerno School of Medicine</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;The foundation of the School is, by legend, attributed to four Masters: Helinus, Pontus, Adela and Salernus.The ars medica of Salerno was determined from the union of these four Jewish, Greek, Arabic and Latin cultures.

Benedetto, also played an important role in the evolution of scientific study and therapeutical practice.The ars medica enriched its store of experimental knowledge both through its charitable, or to be more precise, hospital activities, wich were carried out in the infirmaries and monasteries, and also through the work of lay doctors, sometimes women, who first of all performed their experiments separately, and then together with a more speculative and didactic aim.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/ShLuRfKh7vI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/_S9AkCixWAk/s1600-h/schoolofmed.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 276px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337590492578311922" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/ShLuRfKh7vI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/_S9AkCixWAk/s400/schoolofmed.gif" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Historical evidence of the activities of the School goes back to the 10th century, but there is reference to it in a document by Federico II, published in Melfi in 1231, in which it was called the Salerno Medical School, the only one in the kingdom.In 1280, Carlo I gave it its first statute and continued its activities under changing circumstances up to 1811 when Gioacchino Murat reorganised the public education of the kingdom, and gave Naples University the exclusive right to grant degrees.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5076230158566866964-1199075143178211114?l=aachen-salerno.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5076230158566866964/posts/default/1199075143178211114'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5076230158566866964/posts/default/1199075143178211114'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aachen-salerno.blogspot.com/2009/05/salerno-school-of-medicine.html' title='Salerno School of Medicine'/><author><name>aachen-salerno</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07994757577620869704</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/ShLuQpPq7pI/AAAAAAAAAGA/TR_MTodLfQo/s72-c/Schoolofmed2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5076230158566866964.post-2351189002762174705</id><published>2009-05-15T15:11:00.010+02:00</published><updated>2009-05-19T21:34:19.462+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Roemische Wasserleitungen &amp; Pompeii</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Roemische Wasserleitungen&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Die Eifelwasserleitung – auch Römerkanal oder die Römische Wasserleitung nach Köln genannt – war eines der längsten Aquädukte des römischen Imperiums und gilt als größtes antikes Bauwerk nördlich der Alpen.

Sie entstanden wahrscheinlich in verschiedenen Abschnitten bereits circa 30 n. Chr. vor Erhebung der Ubierstadt zur römischen Colonia. Sie nutzte einige Quellen und saubere Bäche des Höhenzuges Ville (süd-) westlich von Köln, insbesondere des Duffesbaches oder Hürther Baches. Bevor diese Bäche von den Römern kanalisiert wurden, versickerten sie im Rheinschotter. Als die Menge und Qualität des Wassers dieser Leitung nicht mehr ausreichten, die schnell wachsende antike Großstadt zu versorgen, obwohl die Quellen auch im Sommer durch die in der Ville wasserspeichernden Braunkohleschichten eine ausreichende Schüttung hatten, wurde eine neue Wasserleitung zu den Quellen in der Eifel angelegt. Das kalkreiche Quellwasser aus der Eifel war von besonderer Qualität.&lt;br /&gt;Die Eifelwasserleitung wurde um das Jahr 80 n. Chr. in derNordeifel aus Römer-Beton und aus im Halbbogen gemauerten Steinen erbaut. Obwohl literarische und epigraphische Quellen fehlen, kann doch als sicher angenommen werden, dass die Leitung vom römischen Heer errichtet wurde, denn nur dieses verfügte über die entsprechenden Mittel. Sie hatte eine Länge von 95,4 Kilometern und eine Transportkapazität von bis zu 20.000 Kubikmetern Trinkwasser je Tag. Zählt man die verschiedenen Zuleitungen von den Quellen noch hinzu, dann hatte die Leitung sogar eine Länge von 130 km. Die Anlage versorgte die damalige römische Stadt Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium mit Wasser für die öffentlichen &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/ShK5tY5v9UI/AAAAAAAAAF4/tmPSonhKZL8/s1600-h/pompeii.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 267px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337532697817380162" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/ShK5tY5v9UI/AAAAAAAAAF4/tmPSonhKZL8/s400/pompeii.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Laufbrunnen Thermen und privaten Hausanschlüsse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pipes at Pompeii&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;In the earliest period (2nd/1st century BC) the owners of the houses relied on water collected from the roofs and stored in underground cisterns. When the aqueduct system reached Pompeii, probably in the early 1st century AD, many houses installed piped water. The water was used principally to supply fountains, and in many cases the water did not go to the kitchen at all. This suggests that the running water was used mainly for show, although it could be argued that in the hot summer months it was a form of air conditioning. A number of lavatories were also found and documented.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5076230158566866964-2351189002762174705?l=aachen-salerno.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5076230158566866964/posts/default/2351189002762174705'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5076230158566866964/posts/default/2351189002762174705'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aachen-salerno.blogspot.com/2009/05/roemische-wasserleitungen-die.html' title='Roemische Wasserleitungen &amp; Pompeii'/><author><name>aachen-salerno</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07994757577620869704</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/ShK3AgBROaI/AAAAAAAAAFw/ydZzuLGrEEs/s72-c/wasserleitung.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5076230158566866964.post-2866554050263231077</id><published>2009-04-15T15:17:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2009-10-18T21:08:31.738+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Amalfi_Repubbliche Marinare</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Amalfi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;An independent republic from the seventh century until 1075, it rivalled Pisa and Genoa in its domestic prosperity and maritime importance, before the rise of Venice. In spite of some devastating setbacks it had a population of some 70,000, reaching an apogee about the turn of the millennium, during the reign of Duke Manso (966–1004). Under his line of dukes, Amalfi remained independent, except for a brief period of Salernitan dependency under Guaimar IV. &lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/Sg1SM4UYPPI/AAAAAAAAAFo/h6VD2RLeIwE/s1600-h/Amalfi--x-web.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 263px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336011514733673714" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/Sg1SM4UYPPI/AAAAAAAAAFo/h6VD2RLeIwE/s400/Amalfi--x-web.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1073 it fell to the Norman countship of Apulia, but was granted many rights. A prey to the Normans who encamped in the south of Italy, it became one of their principal posts. However, in 1131, it was reduced by King Roger II of Sicily, who had been refused the keys to its citadel. The Holy Roman Emperor Lothair, fighting in favour of Pope Innocent II against Roger, who sided with the Antipope Anacletus, took him prisoner in 1133, assisted by forty-six Pisan ships. The city was sacked by the Pisans, commercial rivals of the Amalfitani; Lothair claimed as part of the booty a copy of the Pandects of Justinian which was found there.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Repubbliche Marinare&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;The Repubbliche Marinare (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a title="Italian language" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_language"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Italian&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; for "Maritime Republics") is the collective name of a number of important city-states which flourished in Italy and Dalmatia in the middle ages. Traditionally the major four are taken to be Amalfi, Pisa, Genoa, and Venice, whose coats of arms appear in the flag of the Marina Militare (Italian Navy). These states competed with each other both militarily and commercially. From the 10th to the 13th centuries these cities built fleets of ships both for their own protection and to support extensive trade networks across the Mediterranean, and had an essential role in the Crusades. As they found themselves in competition, these republics engaged in shifting alliances and warfare.&lt;br /&gt;The four classic Maritime Republics in Italy are the ones given above, and they are always given in that order, reflecting the temporal sequence of their dominance. However, other towns in Italy also have a history of being Maritime Republics, though historically less prominent. These include Gaeta, Ancona, Molfetta, Trani and, in Dalmatia, Ragusa and Zara.&lt;br /&gt;The Maritime Republics were city-states. They were generally republics in that they were formally independent, though most of them originated from territories once belonging to the Byzantin Empire(the main exceptions being Genoa and Pisa). All these cities during the time of their independence had similar (though not identical) systems of government in which the merchant class had considerable power.&lt;br /&gt;The Maritime Republics were heavily involved in the Crusades, providing support but most especially taking advantage of the political and trading opportunities resulting from these wars. The Fourth Crusade, notionally intended to "liberate" Jerusalem, actually entailed the Venetian conquest of Zara and Constantinople.&lt;br /&gt;Each of the Maritime Republics over time had dominion over different overseas lands, including many of the islands of the Mediterranean and especially Sardinia and Corsica, lands on the Adriatic, Aegean Sea and Black Sea (Crimea), and commercial colonies in the Near East and North Africa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a title="Amalfi2.jpg" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Amalfi2.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5076230158566866964-2866554050263231077?l=aachen-salerno.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5076230158566866964/posts/default/2866554050263231077'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5076230158566866964/posts/default/2866554050263231077'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aachen-salerno.blogspot.com/2009/05/amalfirepubbliche-marinare.html' title='Amalfi_Repubbliche Marinare'/><author><name>aachen-salerno</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07994757577620869704</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/Sg1SM4UYPPI/AAAAAAAAAFo/h6VD2RLeIwE/s72-c/Amalfi--x-web.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5076230158566866964.post-274917605228852974</id><published>2009-04-13T22:18:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2009-10-18T21:07:50.786+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Amphitheater_Xanten &amp; Anfiteatro_Pompei</title><content type='html'>&lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0cm"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Amphitheater - Xanten&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0cm"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span lang="de-DE"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: normal" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Um möglichst viele Menschen mit aufwändigen Spektakeln unterhalten zu können, erfanden römische Ingenieure eine neue Bauform: das beidseitig (griech. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span lang="de-DE"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;amphi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span lang="de-DE"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: normal" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;-) umschlossene Theater.neue Bauform von roemischen Ingenieuren oeffentliche Grossveranstaltungen wie Wagenrennen und Gladiatorenkaempfe -&gt;sehr blutig war oft bis auf den letzten Platz gefuellt, Kampf auf Leben und Tod&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 221px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 221px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335407375839344930" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SgssvXjnOSI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/TgOPyzMBk1I/s400/anfiteatro_xanten2.jpg" /&gt; &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0cm"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Zuschauer kamen aud Nah und Fern, um Spektakel anzusehen Amphitheater in Xanten wurde im aeussersten Suedostwinkel der Colonia errichtet, um Schmutz und Laerm fernzuhalten - Fassungsvermoegen entsprach ca.

Fu costruito dai due magistrati che reggevano il governo della città (duoviri) subito dopo la fondazione della colonia sillana e poteva ospitare fino a 20.000 spettatori. I magistrati si chiamavano Quinzio Valgo e Marco Porcio, gli stessi che costruirono il teatro coperto.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 282px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335408024818289378" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SgstVJMQCuI/AAAAAAAAAFg/Ak94vkk7bnQ/s400/anfiteatro_pompei.jpg" /&gt; &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0cm"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Spesso, nelle città conquistate dai romani, accadeva che i grandi edifici da spettacolo venissero costruiti in zone periferiche sia per il costo minore dei terreni, sia per evitare i disagi dovuti all'affollamento degli spettatori nel centro della città. Per la costruzione venne sfruttato l'aggere della fortificazione più antica, che forniva un poderoso terrapieno a cui venne addossata la fondazione delle gradinate orientali. Un nuovo terrapieno fu invece realizzato appositamente per sostenere le gradinate occidentali. Oltre la fortificazione non sappiamo cosa ci fosse in questa zona prima della costruzione dell'anfiteatro, ma è possibile che vi si trovassero della abitazioni private come nel caso della vicina palestra grande. Come nei moderni teatri, le gradinate (cavea) erano divise in ordini di diversa qualità, che avevano anche ingressi separati. A ridosso dell'arena, si trovavano i posti migliori, riservati ai magistrati, ai membri del senato locale (decurioni), agli organizzatori e finanziatori dei giochi. In caso di eccessiva calura, gli spettatori potevano essere riparati da enormi teli (vela) che venivano issati sopra la cavea e l'arena. Gli spettacoli prevedevano combattimenti tra uomini e animali, oppure tra uomini e uomini, ed erano seguiti da arbitri e giudici di gara, come spiegavano una serie di affreschi dipinti tutto intorno all'arena e purtroppo oggi perduti. In occasione degli spettacoli, intorno all'anfiteatro si svolgeva un mercato e i venditori, con il permesso dei magistrati competenti (edili) potevano addirittura utilizzare gli archi della struttura esterna come botteghe.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Das Amphitheater in Pompeii&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Das Amphitheater in Pompeii ist das älteste römische Amphitheater der Welt. Es wurde nach der Zeit der Siliana- Kolonien gegründet und konnte bis zu 20.000 Zuschauer beherbergen.&lt;br /&gt;Die beiden Richter Quirino Valgo und Marco Porcio, die die Regierung der Stadt verwalteten, lieβen es nach ihren Wünschen erbauen, und wollten zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt auch ein Dachtheater hinzufügen.&lt;br /&gt;Die Städte der Römern zu erobern und groβe Bauwerke für öffentliche Groβveranstaltungen, fern vom Zentrum oder am Rand der Stadt, zu errichten, war Sitte; Ziel war, möglichst wenig Fläche zu belegen und Schmutz und Lärm fernzuhalten.&lt;br /&gt;Für die Erbauung des Amphitheaters benutzte man einen mächtigen Erdwall, auf dem sich die östlichen Treppenschächte stützten. Auf westlicher Seite wurde ein künstlicher Erdwall zum Schutz der Treppenschächte aufgehäuft.&lt;br /&gt;Was auf diesem Gelände vorher war, ist unbekannt, es wird behauptet, dass es sich um private Häuser handelte, wie Reste einer groβen Turnhalle daneben bezeugen könnten.&lt;br /&gt;Die Treppenschächte waren, wie bei modernen Theatern, in verschiedene Stufen unterschiedlichen Niveaus eingeteilt, und hatten auch unabhängige Eingänge.&lt;br /&gt;In der Arena waren die besten Sitzplätze für Richter, Senatoren und für Organisations- und Begleitpersonen reserviert.&lt;br /&gt;Bei Hitze konnten sich sie Zuschauer mit großen, aufziehbaren Stoffsegeln vor der Sonne schützen.&lt;br /&gt;Die Zuschauer verfolgten Kämpfe zwischen Mensch und Tier oder unter Menschen, die Kämpfe wurden von Schieds- und Spielrichter begleitet und unterstützt. Fresken auf den Wänden um die Arena illustrierten dies, leider sind sie heute nicht mehr für uns zu sehen.&lt;br /&gt;Bei jeder Veranstaltung des Amphitheaters wurde um das Theater herum ein Markt abgehalten, und die Händler durften, von Fachrichtern überwacht, die Fläche unter den Baubogen als eigenes Geschäft benutzen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5076230158566866964-274917605228852974?l=aachen-salerno.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5076230158566866964/posts/default/274917605228852974'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5076230158566866964/posts/default/274917605228852974'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aachen-salerno.blogspot.com/2009/05/amphitheater-xanten.html' title='Amphitheater_Xanten &amp; Anfiteatro_Pompei'/><author><name>aachen-salerno</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07994757577620869704</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SgssvXjnOSI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/TgOPyzMBk1I/s72-c/anfiteatro_xanten2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5076230158566866964.post-3917153056526120311</id><published>2009-04-13T21:52:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2009-10-18T21:07:28.092+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Elisenbrunnen_Ravello</title><content type='html'>&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0.49cm; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0.49cm"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span lang="de-DE"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102)" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Elisenbrunnen &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0.49cm; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0.49cm"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span lang="de-DE"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102)" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Im 19.

Namensgeberin für Aachens Wahrzeichen ist Kronprinzessin Elisabeth von Bayern (1801 bis 1873), Gemahlin des preußischen Königs Friedrich Wilhelm IV, die häufig als Besucherin die Vorzüge Aachens genoss. Als Attraktion für die Kurgäste gedacht, wurde der in strenger klassizistischer Stilrichtung erbaute Elisenbrunnen 1827 eingeweiht. Neben Marmortafeln, die über die berühmten Kurgäste der Stadt erzählen – wie Georg Friedrich Händel, Peter der Große und Casanova - prangt die Büste der Namensgeberin. Im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert stieg Aachen zum mondänen Modeb ad auf und alles was Rang und Namen hatte traf sich in den Bädern - ein gesellschaftlicher Treffpunkt der Stadt. Im Elisenbrunnen sprudelt 52 Grad heißes Thermalwasser aus zwei Trinkbrunnen, das zwar unangenehm riecht, dafür aber für verschiedenste Krankheiten, wie Rheuma und Hautkrankheiten, heilsam ist.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 133px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335400370590016690" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SgsmXm-BZLI/AAAAAAAAAEo/m1KrLkQr7m0/s400/elisenbrunnen2.jpg" /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0.49cm" lang="en-GB"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102);font-family:trebuchet ms;" class="Apple-style-span" &gt;The Elisa Fountain (Elisenbrunnen) is the symbol of the spa town of Aachen. It was constructed in 1827 according to plans of the architects Cremer and Schinkel. At the time, the Elisa Fountain served as a drinking hall and a promenading hall and still today it is possible to try the healing thermal waters of Aachen from this fountain. Marble plaques remind us of the names of the famous visitors that came to the Aachen spa over the centuries, amongst them Händel and Casanova.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102); FONT-WEIGHT: bold" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Ravello - Villa Rufolo and Villa Cimbrone&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span lang="en-GB"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102)" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;A small, incomparbly beautiful village which has attracted the most famous people over the centuries.

Tra i maggiori esponenti di quel felice periodo ricordiamo: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102)" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Riccardo Doelker&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102)" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;, il primo artista d’oltralpe che rivoluzionò la decorazione e la tradizione della ceramica vietrese grazie alla sua impronta personale e al suo segno istintivo e creativo, carico di immagini e di colore. La sua propensione verso i temi popolari, dalle feste in costume alle processioni, dai temi pirateschi a quelli guerrieri, da quelli ereditati dall’arte etrusca e dall’artecristiana, alla predilezione quasi francescana per gli animali, lo rese particolarmente vicino a una sensibilità mediterranea che esalta il colore e la fantasia. Nel 1923 plasmò con la creta la caratteristica figura del “ciucciariello” che divenne il simbolo di Vietri e della sua ceramica. Le sue pitture dalla spontanea espressività quotidiana davano anima e suggestione al manufatto ceramico, fondendosi con esso, sia che fossero vasi o brocche, e piatti o mattonelle.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 340px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 201px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335359539722381186" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SgsBO8Ik54I/AAAAAAAAADQ/o4RRd5JOQk4/s400/keramik2.jpg" /&gt; &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0cm; FONT-WEIGHT: normal"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;font-family:Arial;font-size:13;" class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0cm; FONT-WEIGHT: normal"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;font-family:Arial;font-size:13;" class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0cm; FONT-WEIGHT: normal"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;font-family:Arial;font-size:13;" class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0cm; FONT-WEIGHT: normal"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;font-family:Arial;" class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0cm; FONT-WEIGHT: normal"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;font-family:Arial;" class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0cm; FONT-WEIGHT: normal"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;font-family:Arial;" class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0cm; FONT-WEIGHT: normal"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102)" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0cm; FONT-WEIGHT: normal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102)" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Irene Kowaliska&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102)" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;, che seppe mescolare, in un’atmosfera di incanto, la cultura locale al mo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102)" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;ndo delle favole della cultura centroeuropea di cui la letteratura nordica è ricca.

Pur mantenendo alcune tipologie ceramiche consolidate dagli usi e dalla tradizione, diversifica la produzione modificando i gusti floreali in espressioni baroccheggianti o in motivazioni di gusto marino segnate da innovative notazioni cromatiche e proponendo un nuovo linguaggio espresso dalla sensibilità ed abilità decorativa degli artisti stranieri. La fitta rete intessuta per una più ampia divulgazione della propria produzione fa conoscere, grazie al prezioso contributo di Margarethe Thewalt-Hannasc, Diesel Opel e Lothar Eglive suoi collaboratori, la ceramica vietrese all’Italia e all’estero. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0cm; FONT-WEIGHT: normal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102)" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Fra gli artisti italiani che gravitano nell’orbita dei tedeschi, dobbiamo citare:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102)" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Guido Gambone&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102)" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;, avellinese di nascita ma vietrese per adozione, un artista dalla straordinaria creatività che ha attraversato con una personalità forte e dirompente una stagione di grandi fermenti nella ceramica vietrese.Tra i più importanti ceramisti del XX secolo, Gambone riesce ad affermarsi per il notevole talento nel rielaborare il patrimonio proveniente dalla tradizione da cui riesce a cogliere lo spessore di materialità mediterranea che ne costituisce il più autentico contenuto. Una materialità che Gambone intravede, peraltro, non solo nella originaria essenzialità delle tipologie formali e decorative, ma che sente anche nelle procedure e nelle pratiche di utilizzo produttivo delle materie.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0cm"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 309px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 355px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335363878536182322" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SgsFLfeZejI/AAAAAAAAADg/Vo7Mu5Q0gGs/s400/keramik3.jpg" /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102)" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;L’amore per la pittura è, forse, la chiave della sua&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102)" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;avventura artistica, che divenne per Gambone il sentiero che lo conduce al di là dell’orizzonte, oltre il confine del quotidiano, oltre l’orlato contorno dei&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0cm"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102)" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;monti della propria terra.

Il suo stile è fondato su un grafismo equilibrato, morbido e senza spigolature in cui il verde ramina e il manganese suggeriscono effetti di campo ceramico e composto e spazi soffusi di ordinate atmosfere. Egli assimila le motivazioni del periodo tedesco ed artigiano, le narra con felicità espressiva. Gli uomini e le cose, il mare e la terra, sono per lui spettacoli del tempo; i gesti animati, ancorati a manualità arcaiche, diventano rappresentazione del tessuto etnico vietrese. Le storie omeriche e le favole di Esopo, le processioni rievocanti Doelker, i cicli rurali e le temperie marine, le miriadi di animali e cose, il mondo pastorale e le raffigurazioni floreali sono il diversificato panorama decorativo della sua produzione. Egli è emblema di vero artigiano, la sua tecnica e il lavoro quotidiano saranno per Vietri esempio di notevole coerenza e di dignità di lavoro. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102)" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Tanti altri come &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102)" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Andrea D’Arienzo, Lucio e Pasquale Liguori, Mattia Limongelli, Luigi Manzo, Salvatore, Vincenzo e Giosuè Procida, Giuseppe Caporossi, Antonio Franchini, Franco Raimondi, Giovanni Sersante, Alessandro Mautone, Matteo e Vincenzo Rispoli,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102)" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;

Auch in ihren Erinnerungen erzählen die Künstler von dieser glücklichen Zeit in Vietri: Erinnerungen an den Duft von Orangenblüten, den Marianne Amos so liebte und der vom Mistralwind herbeigeweht wurde, und an die nostalgischen und leidenschaftlichen neapolitanischen&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="de-DE"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102)" class="Apple-style-span"&gt; Lieder der braungebrannten Arbeiter, die Irene Kowaliska so bewegten. Es war ein fröhlicher und heiterer Lebensrhythmus, ein Fest von Farben und Düften, das, nach den Erzählung der Tochter Monika, Margarethe Thewalt Hannasch weiter in seinen Bann zog, auch nachdem die Künstlerin schon lange wieder nach deutschland zurückgekehrt war. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="de-DE"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102)" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Im Werk dieser Künstler sind zwei wesentliche Aspekte zu erkennen: der Bekanntere bezieht sich auf das reiche Reportoire an Mensch und Natur, mit dem sie direkten Kontakt hatten – die Fischer und die Frauen am Brunnen, die Boote, das Meer, die Kinder an der Mutterbrust, der Mond und die Sonne, die Blumen und letztendlich der typische kleine Esel, de&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,0)" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span lang="de-DE"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102)" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;n vor allem di&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="de-DE"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102)" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;e Deutschen in ihrer neuen Bilderwelt bevorzugt darstellten, eine Abänderung der sardinischen Landschaft, die Dölker und Kowaliska so teuer war. Der andere Aspekt leitet sich von dem reichen Kulturschatz ab, dem groβen Wissen über die alte Welt und ihre Kunstwerke, das jeder dieser Künstler auf seine Weise in das eigene Werk einflieβen lieβ, sodass es von starken Einflüssen bald aus der Antike, bald aus dem Mittelalter oder aus der Renaissance zeugte. Die Geschichte der Keramikkunst in Vietri zeugt aber auch von der Bedeutung der vielen oft unbekannt gebliebenen Künstler, die eine Farbenwelt mit einem ganz weiten Spektrum an grünen, gelben, braunen, blauen, orangen, roten und rosa Tönen erschufen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 305px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335397219226323794" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SgsjgLOXi1I/AAAAAAAAAEY/-7GXzbVfLq0/s400/keramik5.jpg" /&gt; &lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0cm"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span lang="de-DE"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102)" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;The Vietri Ceramic&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0cm"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102)" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;„ &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span lang="en-GB"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102)" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;It is stated from the documents till now published that with no doubt the ceramic industy at Vietri dates back to the end of the 15. century and that it is inserted into a pre-existent and contemporary activity of the pottery industy in the Salerno area favoured by the clay caves Ogliara” , we can affirm that with Aniello Tersauro. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="en-GB"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102)" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;According to the hyp&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="en-GB"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102)" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;othesis based on the studies of Sinno, the arrival of artisans from the Abruzzi in the Salerno region in the first half of the 17. century would have caused a leap in quality towards an impressive achievement of artistic forms. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="en-GB"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102)" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Yet, in that period have origin the most ancient specimens of votive t&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="en-GB"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102)" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;iles that were applied scattered on the lanes and streets from Marina di Vietri to Molina, in the high fractions of Dragonea, Albori, Benincasa and Raito, as an expression of popular religiousness and devotion, so that their dispersion could be avoided for many centuries. The ceramic produced in the 19. century presents at the most vases and objects of daily use: like jugs, bottles, vases for water and oil, jars, bowls, dishes, basins, tureens, umbrella –stands, lamps. Flower vases, tiles with scenes of landscapes and profane subject. The dishes called “piatti reali” (”royal dishes”) were used by the poor people as the only dishes where everyone could commonly help himself and also for the preservation of food to be consumed in winter time. The motive of decorations are simple with floral characteristics and often marbleised edges, sometimes inserting zoomorphic elements like a cock or a bird and marine elements like an octopus or sailing vessels, covering the entire decorative space, or also landscape scenes. The Vietrese production remained more or less unchanged till the beginning of the 20. century when in the twenties began the period classified as “Germen”, so called by the influx of foreigners, for the most part Germans, who came to work in the ceramic factories. Such period is chronologically contained between the beginning of the twenties and the Second World War. The experience already made in 1924 at the factory of “Fontana Limite” where Günther Stüdemann had worked, and the presence, more or less at the same time, of numerous artistic personalities like Richard Dölker, Irene Kowaliska, Margarete Thewalt Hannasch, Marianne Amos, or Guido Gambone from Avellino, Salvatore Procida and Giovannino Carrano, whowas very jung then, allowed the development of a very happy artistic season: Happy were also the memories written aboaut the time passed together at Vietri: whey could smell the perfume of the orange blooms brought by the northwest wind that Marianne Amos loved so much, or when the nostalgic and passionate Neapolitan songs of the dark skin workmen touched with commotion Irene Kowaliska. Margarette Thewalt Hannasch gone back to Germany many years ago tells her daughter Monica how she was continually enchanted by the rhythm of cheerful and calm way of living in a feast of colours and flovours. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="en-GB"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102)" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;In their prodaction two aspects are put together: the most famous is taken from the rich natural and human collection which they find&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="en-GB"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102)" class="Apple-style-span"&gt; themselves in direct contact with – the fishermen and the women near the fountain, the boats, the sea, the children at their mother’s breast, the moon and the sun, the flowers and at the last the characteristic donkey that will be privileged specially by the Germans in the new world of figurations, substituting it from from the Sardinian landscape so dear to Richard Dölker and to Irene Kowaliska. The other aspect derives from the rich cultural baggage that each was able to transfer in his own activity, a baggage of knowledge of the ancient world and its material production, and so they were now deeply immersed in the Ancient world, now in the Middle Ages and then in the Renaissance. But the story of Vietrese ceramic can also be seen by the many colours on the pallet with shades of greens, yellows, brown, blue and again orange, red and pink, so that many times the profit given by the artisan protagonists remained anonymous.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5076230158566866964-2385331138162844355?l=aachen-salerno.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5076230158566866964/posts/default/2385331138162844355'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5076230158566866964/posts/default/2385331138162844355'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aachen-salerno.blogspot.com/2009/05/la-ceramica-vietresedie-vietri-keramik.html' title='La ceramica vietrese_Die Vietri Keramik_Vietri Ceramics'/><author><name>aachen-salerno</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07994757577620869704</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SgsGqD5o_II/AAAAAAAAADw/2NRyKjmfZYw/s72-c/keramik1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5076230158566866964.post-1997882019856699645</id><published>2009-03-03T15:03:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2009-10-18T21:02:07.489+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Gragnano città della Pasta</title><content type='html'>La produzione della pasta, in particolare dei "maccaroni", che ha reso famosa Gragnano nel mondo, risale alla fine del XVI secolo quando compaiono i primi pastifici a conduzione familiare. La produzione dei maccaroni diventò veramente importante &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/Skevt-G5K6I/AAAAAAAAAJw/hJUFdK1m7bw/s1600-h/pasta1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 225px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 276px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352439886454008738" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/Skevt-G5K6I/AAAAAAAAAJw/hJUFdK1m7bw/s320/pasta1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;solo a partire dalla metà del XVII secolo quando la maggior parte dei gragnanesi si dedicò alla produzione della pasta. La produzione dell' "oro bianco" era ed è favorita da particolari condizioni climatiche , come una leggera aria umida che permette la lenta essiccazione dei maccaroni. L'industria pastaia venne aiutata da ben 30 mulini ad acqua , i ruderi di alcuni di questi si possono ammirare nella "valle dei mulini". L'epoca d'oro della pasta di Gragnano è l'Ottocento. In questo secolo sorsero grandi pastifici a conduzione non familiare lungo via roma e piazza trivione che diventarono così il centro di Gragnano. I pastifici infatti esponevano i maccheroni ad essiccare proprio in queste strade. La produzione dei maccaroni non rallentò &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkeyRGXLRrI/AAAAAAAAAKA/oC6iGQB0IX8/s1600-h/pasta3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 212px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352442688988464818" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkeyRGXLRrI/AAAAAAAAAKA/oC6iGQB0IX8/s320/pasta3.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;dopo l' Unificazione, anzi. Dopo il 1861 i pastifici gragnanesi si aprirono ai mercati di città come Torino, Firenze e Milano. La produzione della pasta raggiunse quindi l'apice. Gragnano addirittura ottenne l'apertura di una stazione ferroviaria per l'esportazione dei maccheroni che collegava Gragnano a Napoli e quindi all'intero Paese. Il 12 maggio 1885, all'inaugurazione erano presenti nientemeno che il re Umberto I e sua moglie, la regina Margherita di Savoia. Successivamente i pastifici si ammodernanorono. Arrivò l'energia elettrica e con questa i moderni macchinari che sostituirono gli antichi torchi azionati a mano. Il Novecento fu però un secolo difficile per la città della pasta. Le due Guerre Mondiali fecero entrare in crisi la produzione della pasta gragnanese che nel Dopoguerra dovette affrontare la concorrenza dei grandi pastifici del Nord Italia, che disponevano di capitali maggiori. Il terremoto del 1980 aggravò la situazione e ridusse il numero di pastifici a sole 8 unità. Nonostante i tanti problemi, Gragnano continua a essere la città della pasta. Oggi i pastifici puntano ad una produzione di qualità e &lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkeyRRMgCAI/AAAAAAAAAKI/SeFX3IzUgbg/s1600-h/pasta4.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 300px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 220px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352442691896477698" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkeyRRMgCAI/AAAAAAAAAKI/SeFX3IzUgbg/s320/pasta4.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;propongo itinerari turistici alla scoperta della produzione di quella pasta che ha reso Gragnano famosa in tutto il mondo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;ProduktbeschreibungDamit die Nudeln lange haltbar bleiben, müssen sie langsam trocknen, da die dafür nötigen Bakterienkulturen besser gedeihen, je geringer die Wärmezufuhr ist, der die Nudeln ausgesetzt werden und je länger die Trocknung deshalb dauert. Die Gärungsprozesse, die stattfinden, bilden außer weiteren Substanzen, organische Säuren, wie Milchsäure und Aromen, die hausgemachte Nudeln so schmackhaft und leicht unterscheidbar von industriell gefertigten Nudeln machen. Die Grundzutaten der Nudelherstellung sind denkbar einfach: nur Hartweizenmehl und Wasser. Die Arbeitsgänge sind zwei: das Kneten, das dem Teig die gewünschte Gleichmäßigkeit verleiht und die Formgebung, für die traditionell Bronzeformen verwendet werden. Die Trocknung wird bei den handwerklichen Nudelherstellern bei einer Temperatur von 38° C vorgenommen und dauert zwischen 24 und 36 Stunden. Bei der industriellen Herstellung ist die Zeit der Trocknung viel kürzer.&lt;br /&gt;Einige geschichtliche DatenMit der Herstellung von Nudeln, die nicht für den Hausgebrauch &lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkeyRKqml6I/AAAAAAAAAJ4/RSrmfKzQUYI/s1600-h/pasta2_maccheroni1905.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 242px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352442690143688610" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/SkeyRKqml6I/AAAAAAAAAJ4/RSrmfKzQUYI/s320/pasta2_maccheroni1905.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;bestimmt waren, begann man in der Ortschaft Gragnano schon in den Jahren zwischen 1550 und 1600. Davor war Gragnano im Königreich Neapel nur für die Herstellung von Seiden und die Textilverarbeitung bekannt. Nach dem Jahr 1950 begann man, die ersten Familienbetriebe zu gründen, die die Kraft der Wassermühlen nutzten. Nach und nach wurde die Nudelherstellung zur Hauptaktivität der Einwohner von Gragnano. Das lag zum Teil an den mehr als dreißig Wassermühlen der Gegend, die den Weizen mahlten, aber hauptsächlich an der leicht feuchten Luft, die die langsame, schrittweise Trocknung der Nudeln ermöglichte. Der einzige Grund, weshalb Gragnano die Heimat der Nudeln geworden ist, ist dieser: die Natur selbst hat Gragnano geküsst. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5076230158566866964-1997882019856699645?l=aachen-salerno.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5076230158566866964/posts/default/1997882019856699645'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5076230158566866964/posts/default/1997882019856699645'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aachen-salerno.blogspot.com/2009/05/gragnano-citta-della-pasta.html' title='Gragnano città della Pasta'/><author><name>aachen-salerno</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07994757577620869704</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ubTLof98FJ8/Skevt-G5K6I/AAAAAAAAAJw/hJUFdK1m7bw/s72-c/pasta1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5076230158566866964.post-1276595264934704655</id><published>2009-02-24T16:15:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2009-10-18T20:58:23.793+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Mozzarella</title><content type='html'>Cow Buffalo mozzarella (Italian: mozzarella di bufala) is a mozzarella cheese made from the milk of the domestic water buffalo rather than from cow's milk.&lt;br /&gt;In Italy, the cheese is produced in areas ranging from north of Rome in Lazio to Paestum in Campania, and there is a production area in near Foggia, Puglia.The Italian city of Aversa, Caserta is recognized as the origin of buffalo mozzarella. The most famous of the families who make buffalo mozzarella in Italy are the Serra and Citarella families. They are known as the founders of the buffalo mozzarella tradition.&lt;br /&gt;Buffalo mozzarella is an important industry in Italy. "Italy… is home to the €300m (£240m) a year industry… Italy produces around 33,000 tonnes of its trademark mozzarella from buffalo milk every year, with 16 per cent sold abroad, mostly in the European Union.

The term is a protected designation of origin and so all manufacturers can be found in or near Aachen.&lt;br /&gt;The first pastries of this kind most likely originated from the city of Dinant in Belgium. The city has produced pastries with engraved pictures for over a thousand years. Copper producing craftsmen, another specialty of Dinant, who emigrated to Aachen in the 15th century brought the recipe, concept and tradition of engraved pastries with them to Aachen. Originally, the Printen were sold by Pharmacists for some of their ingredients (honey, several herbs and spices) were considered to possess medical benefits.&lt;br /&gt;Originally sweetened with honey, nowadays Printen are sweetened with the syrup from sugar beets as honey became temporarily unavailable when Napoleon issued a trade embargo, banning all trade with the main supplier of honey, the USA. The tradition of sweetening with sugar beets was kept even after Napoleon was defeated and the French occupation lifted.&lt;br /&gt;Printen are made from a variety of ingredients including cinnamon, aniseed, clove, cardamom, coriander, spices and also ginger. The exact mixture of these ingredients, however, is a close-kept secret of the individual Printen bakeries.&lt;br /&gt;Additionally to the original Printen, there are also Printen with nuts (usually almonds), covered in chocolate or glaze and marzipan.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5076230158566866964-8315271666339692619?l=aachen-salerno.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5076230158566866964/posts/default/8315271666339692619'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5076230158566866964/posts/default/8315271666339692619'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aachen-salerno.blogspot.com/2009/05/aachener-printe-mozzarella.html' title='The Aachener Printe'/><author><name>aachen-salerno</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07994757577620869704</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5076230158566866964.post-6739623410073741746</id><published>2009-02-24T16:05:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2009-10-18T20:56:34.389+02:00</updated><title type='text'>I fichi del Cilento</title><content type='html'>Produktbeschreibung&lt;br /&gt;Im Lauf der Jahrhunderte hat sich im Cilento eine Feigenart herausgebildet, die ihren Ursprung in einer im gesamten Süden Italiens verbreiteten Art, namens „Dottato“ hat. Diese Feige, die helle Feige aus dem Cilento hat sich daraufhin im gesamten heutigen Anbaugebiet verbreitet. Sie wird getrocknet und wird wegen ihrer besonderen Eigenschaften auch im Ausland wertgeschätzt. Die Schale ist einheitlich hellgelb; hellbraun, wenn sie gegart worden ist. Das Fruchtfleisch ist teigig und bernsteinfarben. Die Achänen sind vorwiegend leer während der Blütenboden beinahe gefüllt ist. Der Feuchtigkeitsgehalt darf höchstens 27% ausmachen. Die getrockneten Feigen werden auch mit Mandeln, Walnüssen, Haselnüssen, Fenchelsamen und Schalen verschiedener Zitrusfrüchte gefüllt (Zutaten, die im selben Gebiet angebaut werden) oder mit Schokolade überzogen, um das Angebot zu erweitern. Die Feige besitzt bekanntlich therapeutische Wirkung und spielt noch heute in der Ernährungswissenschaft und in der Kräuterkunde eine wichtige Rolle. Früher wurden Feigenaufgüsse gegen Erkältungen zubereitet.&lt;br /&gt;Einige geschichtliche DatenDiese, aus dem Süden Arabiens stammende Pflanze ist wahrscheinlich noch vor dem 6. Jahrhundert vor Christus im Cilento eingeführt worden. Es sind wahrscheinlich griechische Siedler gewesen, die hier verschiedene Städte gegründet haben. Schon römische Autoren haben die Produkte aus dem Cilento besungen, unter anderem auch die getrockneten Feigen. In vielen Geschichtsquellen wird die getrocknete Feige mit dem Cilento in Zusammenhang gebracht, wo die Pflanze und ihre Früchte eine überaus wichtige Rolle spielt, was auch in Geschichten, Märchen und Sprichwörtern zum Ausdruck kommt. Die Feige hat sich langsam vom „Brot der Armen“, wie sie früher genannt worden ist, zu einem wertvollen Leckerbissen gemausert, der vor allem zur Weihnachtszeit beliebt ist. Der Anbau ist sehr einfach und die Pflanze ist sehr unempfindlich Krankheiten gegenüber, weshalb die Bauern diese Pflanze besonders gern und überall auf dem Gut anbauen, ob in Monokultur oder Mischkulturen.&lt;br /&gt;AnbaugebietDas Anbaugebiet im Cilento reicht von den Hügeln im Küstengebiet von Agropoli bis nach Bussento, im Süden der Region Kampanien. Insgesamt umfasst das Anbaugebiet der Feige aus dem Cilento mit D.O.P.- Qualitätszertifikat (Qualitätsbezeichnung für Produkte aus geschützten Anbaugebieten) 68 Gemeinden in der Provinz Salerno (einige nur teilweise). Der Feigenanbau stellt im Cilento eine wichtige Einnahmequelle dar. Heute wird in der Region Kampanien 30% der nationalen Feigenproduktion angebaut und deshalb ist sie die Region mit der höchsten Feigenproduktion Italiens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Descrizione del prodotto&lt;br /&gt;Nel corso dei secoli, nel Cilento, si è andato selezionando un ecotipo, derivato dalla cultivar madre "Dottato", presente in tutto il Mezzogiorno, che è andato poi diffondendosi in tutta l'area di produzione: il "Bianco del Cilento". Da tale ecotipo si ottiene un prodotto essiccato con caratteristiche uniche e di pregio, apprezzate anche all'estero.Esso si presenta con buccia di colore giallo chiaro uniforme (marroncino chiaro per i frutti che abbiano subito un processo di cottura), polpa di consistenza tipicamente pastosa, di colore giallo ambrato, con acheni prevalentemente vuoti e ricettacolo quasi interamente riempito. L'umidità massima consentita è del 27%. I fichi essiccati sono posti in commercio anche farciti con mandorle, noci, nocciole, semi di finocchietto, bucce di agrumi (ingredienti provenienti dallo stesso territorio di produzione) o ricoperti di cioccolato, con l'obiettivo di ampliare la gamma dell'offerta. Per le sue note qualità terapeutiche viene ancora oggi utilizzato in dietologia e in erboristeria. In passato veniva adoperato in tisane contro i raffreddori.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cenni storici&lt;br /&gt;L'introduzione nel Cilento di questa pianta, originaria dell'Arabia meridionale, sembra essere precedente al VI secolo a. C. Essa è da attribuire ai coloni greci che in queste aree avevano fondato diverse città. Autori dell'epoca romana e altri a seguire hanno decantato le caratteristiche dei prodotti agricoli del Cilento tra i quali i fichi essiccati. In molti documenti appare evidente come il fico essiccato sia identificativo dell'area del Cilento, cosa che traspare anche dalla constatazione del ruolo principe svolto dalla pianta e dai frutti del fico, nelle espressioni idiomatiche, nelle storie, nelle fiabe ed in tutto ciò che è espressione dell'immaginario umano. Questo frutto si è poi trasformato gradualmente da "pane dei poveri", come un tempo veniva definito, ad alimento pregiato da consumare soprattutto nel periodo natalizio.La semplicità di coltivazione e la resistenza della pianta ad avversità fitopatologiche hanno permesso alla coltura di guadagnare le prime posizioni nell'indice di gradimento del coltivatore che ha così collocato questa pianta su tutta la propria azienda, in coltura specializzata o consociata.&lt;br /&gt;Area di produzioneL'area di elezione è il Cilento, dalle colline litoranee di Agropoli fino al Bussento ai limiti meridionali della Campania. Sono 68 in totale i comuni della provincia di Salerno che fanno parte dell'area di produzione della D.O.P., tra quelli interamente o solo parzialmente interessati. La fichicoltura nel Cilento rappresenta una risorsa economica e occupazionale non disprezzabile. Attualmente, con oltre il 30% della produzione nazionale, la Campania è la regione italiana che vanta la maggiore produzione di fichi.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5076230158566866964-6739623410073741746?l=aachen-salerno.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5076230158566866964/posts/default/6739623410073741746'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5076230158566866964/posts/default/6739623410073741746'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aachen-salerno.blogspot.com/2009/05/i-fichi-del-cilento.html' title='I fichi del Cilento'/><author><name>aachen-salerno</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07994757577620869704</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5076230158566866964.post-8273561600770954709</id><published>2009-02-24T16:00:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2009-10-18T20:55:22.505+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Das Cilento Oel_L'olio del Cilento</title><content type='html'>Beschreibung&lt;br /&gt;Das Öl „Cilento” mit D.O.P.- Qualitätszertifikat (Qualitätsbezeichnung für Produkte aus geschützten Anbaugebieten) erhält man, in dem man Oliven der Arten Pisciottana, Rotondella, Ogliarola, Frantoio, Salella und Leccino zu einem Anteil von mindestens 85% presst. Weitere lokale Arten sind nur zu einem Anteil von bis zu 15% erlaubt.&lt;br /&gt;Das gebrauchsfertige Öl hat eine lebhaft und intensiv strohgelbe Farbe und ist meistens klar, kann aber auch manchmal leicht trüb sein. Das Aroma zeichnet eine leicht fruchtige Ahnung aus, manchmal mit einer Note Apfelduft und grünen Blättern. Das Öl hat einen feinen und delikaten Geschmack nach frischen Oliven und ist im wesentlichen mild, mit einer kaum vernehmbaren, lebhaften bitteren und scharfen Note. Es ist ziemlich flüssig, mit deutlichen Pinienkernaromen und einem Nachgeschmack nach Haselnuss und Mandeln. Der Säuregehalt ist immer geringer als 0,7%. Der beachtliche Gehalt an aromatischen Noten ist der Grund, weshalb das Öl eher zu kräftigen Gerichten verwendet wird, wie z.B. gegrilltem Fisch, Wildkräutersalaten, gekochtem Gemüse, Hülsenfrüchten und Nudel-, sowie Reisgerichten.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Das Öl „Cilento” mit D.O.P.- Qualitätszertifikat ist das Produkt der harmonischen Verbindung der modernsten Verarbeitungstechniken mit einer tausendjährigen Tradition. Auf dem landwirtschaftlichen Gebiet wird der Ernte, dem Transport und der Lagerung der Oliven besondere Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt. Um zur Herstellung des D.O.P.- Öls zugelassen zu werden, müssen die Oliven ausschließlich von Hand gelesen werden; nur mechanische Hilfsmittel, wie Erntemaschinen und Kämmmaschinen sind erlaubt. Netze sind nur als Hilfsmittel während der Ernte erlaubt, die bis zum 31.Dezember jeden Jahres abgeschlossen sein muss.&lt;br /&gt;Der maximale Ertrag darf die 110 Doppelzentner pro Hektar nicht überschreiten, während der Ertrag bei der Ölherstellung nicht höher als 22% sein darf. Die Oliven müssen innerhalb von 48 nach ihrer Ernte gepresst werden.&lt;br /&gt;Einige geschichtliche Daten&lt;br /&gt;Der Ölanbau charakterisiert schon seit Jahrhunderten die Landschaft des Cilento- Gebiets, wo er die hauptsächliche, manchmal sogar einzige Einnahmequelle der örtlichen Bevölkerung darstellt, so dass er einen wichtigen Teil ihres täglichen Lebens ausmacht. Das Öl besitzt im Cilento, einem Gebiet in dem Mythen zu Hause sind und das den gleichnamigen Nationalpark beherbergt, eine auf die Antike zurück gehende Geschichte. Vor kurzem haben archäobotanische Studien ergeben, dass es hier schon im vierten Jahrhundert vor Christus Olivenbäume gab, auch wenn die Legende besagt, dass die ersten Ölpflanzen von den Phokäischen Siedlern, einem Volk griechischen Ursprungs eingeführt worden seien. Allerdings haben sie wirklich die älteste lokale Ölsorte, die Pisciottana eingeführt, die sehr resistent den salzigen Winden gegenüber ist und außerdem sehr produktiv ist, auch in einem trockenen Gebiet, wie der Cilento es ist. Heute noch charakterisiert diese Ölsorte das Öl „Cilento” erkennbar.&lt;br /&gt;Der Ölbaum des Cilento hat neben der Stadt Paestum und den Ruinen von Velia italienische Poeten inspiriert: „Olivenbäume, nur Olivenbäume! In der Mitte sind Olivenbäume, wie Gruppen von Schafen…“ So schreibt Ungaretti in einer Dichtung aus dem Jahr 1933. Im Cilento hat übrigens auch für mehrere Jahre der berühmte amerikanische Ernährungswissenschaftler Keys gelebt, der „Vater“ der Mittelmeerküche, die gerade dem Olivenöl eine sehr wichtige Rolle zuschreibt. Das deshalb, weil es den Serum- Cholesterinspiegel senkt, die Funktion des Herz- Kreislaufsystems verbessert und den Organismus, dank seiner Phenole, vor gefährlichen Veränderungen schützt.&lt;br /&gt;Anbaugebiet&lt;br /&gt;Das Anbaugebiet des Olivenöls „Cilento” mit D.O.P.- Qualitätszertifikat umfasst 62 Gemeinden südlich von Salerno, die sich alle im Cilento- Vallo di Diano- Nationalpark befinden. Sie werden alle von der Anwesenheit jahrhundertealter Olivenbäume charakterisiert, die ein sehr wichtiges Element ihrer Landschaft darstellen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Descrizione&lt;br /&gt;L'olio "Cilento" DOP si ottiene dalla premitura di olive delle varietà Pisciottana, Rotondella, Ogliarola, Frantoio, Salella e Leccino per almeno l' 85%; possono, inoltre, concorrere altre varietà locali presenti nell'area di produzione in misura non superiore al 15%. L'olio, al consumo, è di colore giallo paglierino con buona vivacità ed intensità; spesso limpido, a volte velato. All'esame olfattivo mostra un leggero sentore di fruttato, talvolta con note di mela e di foglia verde. Il gusto è tenue e delicato di oliva fresca, fondamentalmente dolce con appena percettibili note vivaci di amaro e piccante. E' discretamente fluido, con evidenti sentori di pinolo e retrogusto di nocciola e mandorla. L'acidità è sempre inferiore al valore di 0,70%. La notevole presenza di note aromatiche fa prediligere l’uso di quest’olio su piatti di una certa consistenza, tipici dell’area di origine, come grigliate di pesce, insalate selvatiche, verdure bollite, legumi e primi piatti in genere.L'olio “Cilento” DOP è il frutto dell'armonizzazione delle più moderne tecnologie di lavorazione con una tradizione millenaria. A livello agronomico, particolare cura è posta durante le fasi della raccolta, del trasporto e della conservazione delle olive. Per essere ammesse alla produzione di olio DOP le olive devono essere raccolte rigorosamente a mano; è autorizzato l'ausilio di mezzi agevolatori meccanici, come scuotitori e pettini vibranti; le reti sono ammesse esclusivamente per agevolare le operazioni di raccolta, che deve essere effettuata entro il 31 dicembre di ogni anno. La produzione massima di olive ad ettaro è di 110 quintali, mentre la resa in olio massima è del 22%. Le olive vanno molite entro 48 ore dalla raccolta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cenni storici&lt;br /&gt;La presenza dell'olio caratterizza da secoli il paesaggio cilentano e ne rappresenta la principale, e talvolta unica, risorsa delle popolazioni locali, tanto da divenire parte integrante della loro vita quotidiana.L'olivo nel Cilento, terra di miti e sede dell'omonimo Parco Nazionale, ha radici antiche. Recenti ricerche archeobotaniche hanno documentato la presenza dell'olivo già nel IV sec. a.C.. La tradizione, invece, vuole che le prime piante fossero introdotte dai coloni Focesi, una popolazione profuga di origine greca. Furono essi infatti ad introdurre la più antica varietà da olio locale, la Pisciottana, che resiste molto bene ai venti salmastri della zona, è molto produttiva anche in un comprensorio arido come il Cilento e ancora oggi conferisce all’olio Cilento la riconosciuta tipicità.L'olivo cilentano, tra i templi di Paestum e le rovine di Velia, ha imposto la sua presenza anche ai grandi poeti italiani del passato: "...ulivi, sempre ulivi! in mezzo sono ulivi, come pecore a frotta..." scrive Ungaretti in una sua lirica del 1933. Nel Cilento, inoltre, ha vissuto per molti anni anche il celebre nutrizionista americano Keys, il padre della Dieta mediterranea, che proprio all'olio di oliva attribuisce un ruolo principe, in quanto determina una riduzione del colesterolo serico, migliora la funzionalità dell'apparato cardiocircolatorio, e protegge l’organismo, con il suo corredo di sostanze fenoliche, da gravi alterazioni.&lt;br /&gt;Area di produzioneLa zona di produzione e di lavorazione dell'olio DOP "Cilento" comprende 62 comuni, posti a sud della provincia di Salerno, tutti inclusi nell’area del Parco nazionale del Cilento e del Vallo di Diano e tutti caratterizzati dalla presenza di olivi secolari, che rappresentano l'elemento dominante del paesaggio.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5076230158566866964-8273561600770954709?l=aachen-salerno.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5076230158566866964/posts/default/8273561600770954709'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5076230158566866964/posts/default/8273561600770954709'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aachen-salerno.blogspot.com/2009/05/das-cilento-oel.html' title='Das Cilento Oel_L&apos;olio del Cilento'/><author><name>aachen-salerno</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07994757577620869704</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry></feed>
