Parafia katolicka w Ostródzie w XIX i pierwszej połowie XX wieku

Author(s): Marek Jodkowski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2012

The first Mass since the Reformation times was celebrated in Ostróda in 1834. From that time, the rector from Grabowo came to the said town twice a year with pastoral services. Considering the increasing number of worshippers, the authorities of the Bishopric of Culm decided to appoint a permanent priest in Ostróda; this function was assigned to Stephan Keller on 27th September 1853. On 31 May 1855, he founded a private Catholic school, which was given the status of a public school on 2nd October 1860. One of the greatest tasks which awaited the priest of Ostróda was the building of a temple. The project was prepared by Vinzenz Statz, an architect. The foundation stone of the new temple was laid on 28th August 1856. The consecration of the new church took place on 20th December 1857. In 1859, a plot of land was bought; it was meant to be a Catholic cemetery. A full-fledged Catholic parish was founded in Ostróda on 10th February 1860. Eight years later, a presbytery was built, with apartments for the rector and the organist. With regard to the increasing number of worshippers, the temple was extended in 1912-1913. In that time, the nave was elongated by two more spans. A chancel with annexes, pinnacles topping the gables and a tower were built. The project of the works was developed by an architect from Königsberg – Fritz Heitmann. The temple was consecrated on 1st June 1923 by the bishop of Warmia Augustyn Bludau to honour the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. From December 1922, the parish of Ostróda was connected to the Diocese of Warmia. In 1868, 1143 Catholics belonged to the said institution, in 1900 – 2 105, and in 1938 – 2 780. In the area of the parish, numerous organisations and associations were active, including the Saint Cecilia Association and the Fraternity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The 19th century construction of the church together with a parish house and a stable cost 13, 454 thalers, and the 19th century extension of the religious building – over 100,000 marks. The parish was financially supported by the Saint Boniface and Adalbert Association in Pelplin.

Фунский замок Александра – крымского шурина Стефана Великого

Author(s): Vladimir P. Kirilko / Language(s): Russian Issue: 6/2004

The castle of Funa belonged to Alexander, a representative of the ruling dynasty in principality of Theodoro, who in 1472 became related with Stephan the Great, the Moldavian Prince (who married to Alexander’s sister Maria). The fortified ensemble of Funa had three explicitly marked construction periods. The fortification was erected between 1422 and late 1423, most likely in spring-summer of 1423, to be massively destroyed by a powerful earth-quake in October-November of 1423. It is presumed that in 1425 the fortification was restored, soon to be burnt down. Nothing is known about the exact causes and the date of the fire. In 1459, the fortress was subjected to a considerable reconstruction and turned into a castle. A dungeon became the dominant feature of the new fortification. It was a monumental three-storey building and was a powerful, well-equipped and quite good-looking defense construction. The castle ceased to exist in 1475. Most likely, Alexander came to the court of Stephan the Great in September 1472, while accompanying his sister to her wedding. He retuned to Crimea in June 1475, where not without his brother-in-law’s help, “he took over his patrimony”. As the last ruler of the Theodorite Gothia he then had to stand against selected Ottoman troops led by the Great Vizier Kedyk-Ahmed-Pasha who seized Mangoup. Although Alexander’s life in Moldavia is not elucidated by the known records, though his military skills and experience of building fortifications could hardly remain unused.

Le temple de culte impérial d’Auguste à Histria

Author(s): Monica Mărgineanu Cârstoiu / Language(s): French Issue: 5/2014

La représentation miniature d’un entablement dorique est illustrée d’une manière extrêmement minutieuse sur un monument épigraphique, dont l’inscription honore Papas, le fils de Théopompos, personnage connu d’une inscription, pour avoir contribué à l’édification du temple de culte impérial d’Auguste lors du vivant même de l’empereur. Est proposée ci-après, une hypothèse de reconstitution de la façade du temple, qui devient une expression de la perpétuation de la tradition du style dorique à Histria jusqu’à l’époque de l’hellénisme très tardif.

The architectural patronage of Miklós Bethlen in late seventeenth-century Transylvania

Author(s): Letiția Cosnean Nistor / Language(s): English Issue: 5/2014

Analysing the architectural patronage of the noble Miklós Bethlen in Late Renaissance Transylvania, this article sheds light upon the scope of a noble building patronage in Early Modern Transylvania, reflecting at the same time the exceptional case of a patron playing the role of the architect. Miklós Bethlen is an exceptional figure of late seventeenth-century Transylvanian nobility, active both on the political scene and on the cultural one. He is better known due to the memoirs he has written during his last years spent in prison in Vienna, and published for the first time in the middle of the nineteenth century. His architectural patronage became a landmark for the Transylvanian architectural history. The Bethlen castle in Sânmiclăuş (Alba County) represents an iconic building for his architectural patronage, built from the ground up following his plans and supervision. Nevertheless, his patronage extended to other less known buildings as well.

Die Propyläen ein Hekatompedos

Author(s): Wolfram Hoepfner / Language(s): German Issue: 4/2013

Der Autor vermutet, dass die Architekten der klassischen griechischen Zeit ihre Entwürfe mit idealen geometrischen Figuren zuerst auf Sandflächen, etwa in Palästren der Gymnasien zeichneten. Die Ausführungszeichnungen mussten nicht selten im Detail vom Idealmass der Sand-Skizzen leicht abweichen.

Touristische Aufwertung der Ausgrabungsstätte Sarmizegetusa Regia

Author(s): Claudiu Silvestru / Language(s): German Issue: 3/2012

Auf einer übergeordneten Ebene deutet das Projekt zur Aufwertung und Verwertung der Ausgrabungsstätte Sarmizegetusa Regia touristische Entwicklungswege an, bei denen das bestehende Wechselspiel zwischen naturbelassenen Landschaft, archäologische Funde und vorhandene rurale (Infra-)Strukturen nicht als mühsam und unwirtschaftlich zu überwindende Hürde, sondern als Vorteil und Potenzial zu verstehen ist. Durch dieses Projekt wird beispielhaft gezeigt, was für eine Rolle die Architektur in der Inszenierung und Kommunikation vom Baukulturgut, in der Ansicht des Verfassers, spielen kann; weiters werden die Mechanismen verdeutlicht und ausgenutzt, durch denen die Mystik eines Ortes - in diesem Fall des Waldes - zum einen die wachsende Zielgruppe dieser Art von Less-is-More-Tourismus anspricht/anzieht und zum anderen die Aufnahme und die Verinnerlichung von kulturhistorischen Informationen unterstützt.

Bibliographie selective concernant les temples grecs du 19e au 21e siecle

Author(s): Claudio Walter Gomez Duarte / Language(s): French Issue: 3/2012

Cet article a objectivé un agencement bibliographique avec une introduction au thème de la conception architectonique des temples doriques périptères grecs. De nombreux ouvrages ont été publiés sur ce thème jusqu’à présente et nous croyons qu’une sélection importante, pour organiser cette bibliographie, doit être effectuée : il est important de choisir les travaux écrits depuis les deux dernières décennies du 19ème siècle. Une méthode de recherche a été de proposer une organisation bibliographique chronologique et thématique. Cette organisation a révélé une structure et un chemin, a révélé aussi que divers types d’approche doivent être associés pour avoir accès à un thème aussi complexe que celui de la conception architectonique. Nous allons présenter de manière introductive: le thème de l’architecture dorique des temples grecs, l’importance de la métrologie grecque pour ce type d’étude et l’importance de Vitruve, la principale source historique pour l’architecture de l’Antiquité.

Marmorne architektur im Kaiserzeitlichen Tomis. Zur Frage der Marmorwerkstatt

Author(s): Natalia Toma / Language(s): German Issue: 2/2011

Die archäologische Auswertung des rekonstruierten Fundkomplexes der sog. Marmorwerkstatt wurde wegen des Fehlens einer Veröffentlichung der Ausgrabungen im südwestlichen Bereich der Stadt Tomis sowie der Freilegung der marmornen Bauteile zu unterschiedlichen Zeiten und deren Verteilung auf diverse Museen lange erschwert. Die Deutung als Werkstatt im Sinn eines räumlich definierten Ortes, an dem Marmor bearbeitet wurde, muss verworfen werden. Vielmehr sind die Bauteile im Kontext der Bebauung des südwestlichen Abhanges der tomitanischen Halbinsel zu sehen. Dieser barg offensichtlich zahlreiche öffentliche Bauten, darunter auch den sog. Servilius-Fabianus-Bau. Dieser öffentliche Bau unbekannter Funktion war mit einer marmornen Fassade des Typus scaenae frons versehen. Da als Baumaterial dieser aus Bauteilen unterschiedlicher Bearbeitungsgrade bestehenden Fassade importierter Marmor fungierte, wird der Platz um den Bau herum zur Fertigstellung der Bauteile benutzt worden sein.

Trajan's bridge at Drobeta-Turnu Severin built by the architect Apollodorus

Author(s): Ruxandra Nemțeanu / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2011

In 1998, the Ministry of Culture commissioned the Design Centre for the National Cultural Heritage (CPPCN) with the project entitled “Restoration and enhancement of the ruins of Trajan’s Bridge in Drobeta Turnu-Severin”. Within the project, 12 potential variants were drawn up, of which the optimal one for that moment was chosen. The project was abandoned in 2003, due to the dissolution of the Design Centre for the National Cultural Heritage. With all those actions, taken with good intentions, the Ruin of Trajan’s Bridge didn’t gain much: a published volume containing the complex and multi-disciplinary research, official visits, a perimetric drain channel and a pump to evacuate meteoric water from the basin in which the ruin is embedded. The railway (which is a single track rail and an important international railway) noisily crosses the ancient enclosure even today, although there have been opportune moments to move it. From time to time it is damaged and becomes impracticable because of the landslides downstream from Turnu-Severin, but, with all those impediments it remains immovable. The people that were morally involved in the project included the archaeologist Prof. Dr. Petre Alexandrescu and the architect Aurel Teodorescu.

Un posibil mormânt al primului mitropolit al Țării Românești - Iachint de Vicina (1359-1372)

Author(s): Maria-Venera Rădulescu / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 2/2011

A valuable Middle Age Romanian art monument, the recumbent effigy has its provenance from the “Saint Nicholas” Princely Church of Curtea de Argeş. To date, several scientific papers inferred that the gravestone belonged to the tomb of Prince Radu I (ca 1377 - ca 1383) or maybe of Prince Dan the 2nd (1420 - 1421). The bas-relief is carved in chalk and has the dimension 149.5 cm / 73 cm /33.5 cm. The sculpture shows a lying deceased person, with his hands on his chest. His face is surrounded by long hair and beard. The stone is cracked and the lower part is missing. Damaged and worn away, the recumbent effigy has lost the details that could have made its identification easier. This paper presents arguments in favor of identifying the recumbent effigy with the gravestone of the first Metropolitan Archbishop of the RomanianCounty, Iachint of Vicina (1359-1372). Specific religious vestments such as surplice (with a short collar round the neck), epitrachelion, phelonion (with luxurious embroideries on the chest and shoulders, and its bottom edge held on the left forearm, in a common gesture of a priest during the religious service), kamelavkion (with a long veil reaching to the ankles), reassemble the formal vestments that the first Metropolitan Orthodox Archbishop of Romanian County would have been buried with, in accordance with the religious customs. The Metropolitan Archbishop holds the crosier under his right arm. In addition, his head, covered with a “kamelavkion”, lies down on a carved piece of stone. In this connection, a brick is set under the deceased person’s head according to the monk burial customs, to date. The damaged condition of the recumbent effigy doesn’t allow the identification of certain details of the religious vestments of a high rank archbishop. However, one can’t rule out the possibility that the burial ritual of a Metropolitan Archbishop of that time included only the vestments and ornaments present on the recumbent effigy, or that the craftman left out the carving of some pieces of clothing. On the right side of the gravestone, one can see an inscription with Cyrillic letters, “ПР ГЕРГЕ” - the name of the craftsman and his emblem. This is the first registration of a craftsman stone carving in Romanian County. In conclusion, the bas-relief, even in its current state of preservation, is supporting the hypothesis that the recumbent effigy is representing a high rank archbishop. This individual couldn’t have been any other than the first Metropolitan Archbishop of UngroWallachia, Iachint of Vicina (1359 - 1372), buried in the church where he has served as a high priest. The “Saint Nicholas” Royal Church of Curtea de Argeş could, therefore, legitimately reclaim the title of the first Metropolitan Orthodox Church of the Romanian County. The recumbent effigy should be relocated to its initial site, at least in a form of a replica. This could be helpful in restoring the spiritually charged atmosphere from the second half of XIVth century.

Remarks on the restoration and reconstruction of archaeological monuments in Romania

Author(s): Ioana Bogdan Cătăniciu / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2011

An overview of the situation of Romania’s historical and archaeological heritage is not susceptible to satisfy any of our fellow countrymen. The built heritage is not protected, although a minority of specialists is constantly bringing to public attention the increasing, ever more diversified danger, in spite the existing legal levers.

Le cimetière orthodoxe Bellu: patrimoine funeraire en peril

Author(s): Ioana Maria Petrescu,Emil Creangă / Language(s): French Issue: 2/2011

Le cimetière orthodoxe Bellu de Bucarest, créé dans la deuxième moitié du XIXe siècle, a acquis, dans le temps, une importance particulière. Sa valeur est assurée, en même mesure, par le grand nombre de personnalités qui y reposent, que par les chefs-d’œuvre d’architecture et d’art funéraire. Comme tout patrimoine funéraire, le cimetière Bellu est exposé à un processus continu de dégradation, aggravé par les actes de vandalisme et les pillages, qui se déroulent sous les regards impuissants de l’administration des cimetières.

Планировка Южного Измайлова проще, чем даже в Нью-Йорке: с запада на восток идут кусочек шоссе Энтузиастов, Магнитогорская, Челябинская и Чечулина (за ней — Измайловский парк), с севера на юг — Большой Купавенский (за ним — Измайловский парк), Малый Купавенский и фрагмент МКАД. Полтора километра в длину и около 700 метров в ширину или 1 квадратный километр с плотностью населения в 50 тысяч человек на этом километре.

Сиреневый Бульвар — Сиреневый Туман

Author(s): Aleksandr Evgenievich Levintov / Language(s): Russian Issue: 5/2016

В Москве не очень много бульваров, и далеко не все, называемое бульваром, таковым является, особенно на окраинах-новостройках. Вот, например, Чистые пруды — заплеваны, заблеваны, забляжены, замусорены пивными бутылками, крышками от них, банками, окурками, засижены пьянствующей молодежью. Это не очень страшно, но невыразимо противно.

BAROKNI PARTERNI VRT DVORCA ELTZ U VUKOVARU

Author(s): Zlatko Uzelac / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 17/2017

In this paper a photograph of the lost original layout of the building complex of the Eltz castle from the mid-18th-century is published, showing the ground plan of the geometrical parterre garden between the castle and the Danube river bank. Along with a photograph of an also lost drawing of the completed works on the building complex from the late 18th or early 19th century and other reliable sources, the photograph testifies to the appearance of the Baroque building complex from the 18th century. The architecture of castle and garden formed an indivisible unity and the reconstruction of the garden, in conformity with similar reconstructions of French geometrical gardens in Europe, would be a significant contribution to garden culture in Croatia. The Baroque castle of Anselmo Kasimir von Eltz, which today forms the nucleus of the architectural unity finally produced in Historicism, is a significant monument of Slavonian Baroque. The geometrical parterre, designed and completed together with the manor, was an integral part of its architecture. The garden itself is one of the most significant and most beautiful monuments of the entire Vukovar inheritance, while in the whole of the admittedly not very rich inheritance of garden culture in Croatia, the garden occupies a special and very prominent place. Along with the several decades older and slightly larger former geometrical garden of the castle of Maximillian Gosseau in Nuštar, the geometrical garden of the Vukovar castle is a rare and particularly valuable monument of Baroque garden culture in Croatia, especially due to the fact that the copy of the original garden design is preserved. The reconstruction of the garden is possible and in the conservational sense easy to conduct and it is extremely important especially for the sake of the reaffirmation of the preserved Baroque inheritance in its entirety of the Eltz castle.
