Places to see in ( Augsburg - Germany ) St Anne's Church
St. Anne's Church in Augsburg, Germany, is a medieval church building that was originally part of a monastery built in 1321. It is notable for its elaborate interior decoration. St. Anne's was built in 1321 by Carmelite monks. In 1518 Martin Luther stayed there with the Carmelite friars when he was in Augsburg to meet the papal legate, Cardinal Cajetan, who wanted Luther to submit to the pope. The church converted to Lutheranism in 1545.
The church ceiling is decorated with Baroque and Rococo stuccowork, with frescoes by Johann Georg Bergmüller. The Goldsmith's Chapel (Goldschmiedkapelle) was donated in 1420 by Conrad and Afra Hirn. The Fugger chapel, which is the burial chapel of the Fuggers, is the earliest example of Renaissance architecture in Germany. It was endowed in 1509 by Ulrich and Jakob Fugger.
Among the features are a marble pavement, an organ with painted shutters, stained glass, choir stalls, a sculptural group of the Lamentation of Christ, and memorial relief tablets in the style of Dürer. Jakob Fugger is buried here. The spire was added in 1607 by Elias Holl.

Places to see in ( Augsburg - Germany )
Augsburg, Bavaria is one of Germany’s oldest cities. The varied architecture in its center includes medieval guild houses, the 11th-century St. Mary's cathedral and the onion-domed Sankt Ulrich und Afra abbey. Key Renaissance buildings are the Augsburger Town Hall with its Golden Hall. The Fuggerhaüser is the seat of a wealthy banking dynasty and the Fuggerei is a 16th-century social housing complex.
The largest city on the Romantic Road (and Bavaria's third largest), Augsburg is also one of Germany’s oldest, founded by the stepchildren of Roman emperor Augustus over 2000 years ago. As an independent city state from the 13th century, it was also one of its wealthiest, free to raise its own taxes, with public coffers bulging on the proceeds of the textile trade. Banking families such as the Fuggers and the Welsers even bankrolled entire countries and helped out the odd skint monarch. However, from the 16th century, religious strife and economic decline plagued the city. Augsburg finally joined the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1806.
Shaped by Romans, medieval artisans, bankers, traders and, more recently, industry and technology, this attractive city of spires and cobbles is an easy day trip from Munich or an engaging stop on the Romantic Road, though one with a grittier, less quaint atmosphere than others along the route.
Augsburg lies at the convergence of the Alpine rivers Lech and Wertach and on the Singold. The oldest part of the city and the southern quarters are on the northern foothills of a high terrace, which emerged between the steep rim of the hills of Friedberg in the east and the high hills of the west. In the south extends the Lechfeld, an outwash plain of the post ice age between the rivers Lech and Wertach, where rare primeval landscapes were preserved. The Augsburg city forest and the Lech valley heaths today rank among the most species-rich middle European habitats.

Places to see in ( Augsburg - Germany ) Fuggerei
Places to see in ( Augsburg - Germany ) Fuggerei
The Fuggerei is the world's oldest social housing complex still in use. It is a walled enclave within the city of Augsburg, Bavaria. It takes its name from the Fugger family and was founded in 1516 by Jakob Fugger the Younger (known as Jakob Fugger the Rich) as a place where the needy citizens of Augsburg could be housed. By 1523, 52 houses had been built, and in the coming years the area expanded with various streets, small squares and a church. The gates were locked at night, so the Fuggerei was, in its own right, very similar to a small independent medieval town. It is still inhabited today, affording it the status of being the oldest social housing project in the world.
The rent was and is still one Rheinischer Gulden per year (equivalent to 0.88 euros), as well as three daily prayers for the current owners of the Fuggerei — the Lord's Prayer, Hail Mary, and the Nicene Creed. The conditions to live there remain the same as they were 480 years ago: one must have lived at least two years in Augsburg, be of the Catholic faith and have become indigent without debt. The five gates are still locked every day at 10 PM.
Housing units in the area consist of 45 to 65 square metre (500–700 square foot) apartments, but because each unit has its own street entrance it simulates living in a house. There is no shared accommodation; each family has its own apartment, which includes a kitchen, a parlour, a bedroom and a tiny spare room, altogether totalling about 60 square metres. Ground-floor apartments all have a small garden and garden shed, while upper-floor apartments have an attic. All apartments have modern conveniences such as television and running water. One ground-floor apartment is uninhabited, serving as a museum open to the public. The doorbells have elaborate shapes, each being unique, dating back to before the installation of streetlights when residents could identify their door by feeling the handle in the dark.
The Fugger family initially established their wealth in weaving and merchandising. Jakob the Rich expanded their interests into silver mining and trading with Venice. Additionally he was a financier and counted the Vatican as a notable client. The family became financial backers of the Habsburg family and he financed the successful election of Charles V as Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire in 1519.
The Fuggerei was first built between 1514 and 1523 under the supervision of the architect Thomas Krebs, and in 1582 Hans Holl added St. Mark's Church to the settlement. Expanded further in 1880 and 1938, the Fuggerei today comprises 67 houses with 147 apartments, a well, and an administrative building. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's great-grandfather, the mason Franz Mozart, lived in the Fuggerei between 1681 and 1694, and is commemorated today by a stone plaque. The Fuggerei was heavily damaged by the bombings of Augsburg during World War II, but has been rebuilt in its original style.
The Fuggerei is supported by a charitable trust established in 1520 which Jakob Fugger funded with an initial deposit of 10,000 guilders. According to the Wall Street Journal, the trust has been carefully managed with most of its income coming from forestry holdings, which the Fugger family favoured since the 17th century after losing money on higher yielding investments. The annual return on the trust has ranged from an after-inflation rate of 0.5% to 2%. The Fugger family foundation is currently headed by countess Maria-Elisabeth von Thun und Hohenstein, née countess Fugger von Kirchberg, who lives at Kirchberg Castle. Currently the trust is administered by Wolf-Dietrich Graf von Hundt.

Fuggerkapelle in St. Anna
St. Anna ist eine der berühmtesten Kirchen in Augsburg. Sie ist ein Symbol für die Reformation und für ökumenische Bemühungen – und war eine der ersten evangelischen Kirchen in Augsburg: Zu Weihnachten 1525 wurde hier der erste evangelische Gottesdienst gefeiert. In St. Anna befindet sich die Fuggerkapelle, gestiftet von Jakob Fugger dem Reichen. Er, der wie die ganze Familie stets dem katholischen Glauben treu blieb, hatte 8 Tage vor seinem Tod am 30. Dezember 1525 noch verfügt, dass er in der Fuggerkapelle bestattet werden wolle. Eine schwierige Situation, die eine salomonische Lösung verlangte.

사순절에 생각하는 '십자가'
내가 일했던 독일교회 교육관에 걸려있던 큰 십자가는 일반인들에게 홀을 대여 할 때 방해된다며 언젠가 떼내었다.
기독교 정신으로 설립되었던 학교에 초창기부터 걸려있던 십자가도 떼어져 나가고 있다. 많은 학부모들이 자신들의 아이가 특정종교의 영향을 받는 것을 원치 않고 자녀들이 후에 스스로 선택할수 있도록 교육해야 한다는 것이 그 이유다. 무슬림 학생들과 그 부모들도 십자가가 학교에 걸려 있어서는 안 된다며 법정소송을 걸기까지 한다.
한국개신교회에서 십자가는 오직 말씀 중심인 칼빈의 영향을 받은 이후 더욱 덜 중요시되어 왔었다.
이제는 영상스크린으로 이미 걸려있는 십자가를 가려버리는 교회도 많다.
십자가가 보이던 자리에 화면을 통해 목사님의 얼굴이, 기도자의 얼굴이, 찬양인도자들이 보인다. 성가대의 찬양시간에는 찬양대원들의 얼굴이 돌아가며 화면에 올라오고 지휘자의 모습도 보인다. TV방송국에서나 보던 그 카메라가 이제는 예배드리는 회중과 오케스트라와 성가대 위를 지나 다니며 멋지게? 녹화한다.
회중석에 앉아 있는 내 모습이 화면에 보이면 움찔하기도 하고 혹시 내가 찍히고 있는지 화면에서 나를 찾고 있기도 한다.
예배 본다는 말이 잘못된 표현이라며 그렇게 고치려 했건만 이제는 정말 보는 예배를 드리고 있다. 딱딱한 나무 의자는 극장의 푹신한 의자로 바뀌면서 차가운 마룻바닥에서 무릎꿇고 기도하며 드리던 예배의 모습은 이제 찾아보기 힘들다.
지난 한국교회의 대표적 가치관이었던 기복신앙이 지난 뒤 번영신학이 들어오더니 이제는 사순절은 개신교와 어울리지 않는다며 지키지 말자는 주장까지 나온다.
무조건 성공과 수고없는 축복을 추구하고 무엇을 하든 다 잘 되는 비젼을 가져야하고 새로와야 한다며 흉내내고 유행을 따라가는 현대교회와 교인들에게 :
고통과 낮아짐과 죽음이 없이는 축복도 없다!
철저한 자기부인과 절제와 죽기까지 다 내어놓는 것이 신앙이다!
내 의지는 비록 이것이다 할지라도 내 뜻대로 마옵시고 주님의 뜻을 이루어 달라고 피와 땀을 흘리며 하나님의 뜻에 내가 복종하는 것이 기도다!
십자가의 고통과 죽음 없이는 부활도 없다!
슬프고 아프고 숨기거나 가리거나 떼내어 버리는 죽음을 뜻하는 십자가가 아니라
드러내고 자랑하고픈 다 이루어낸 위대한 십자가임을 이 곡을 통해 표현하고 나는 이 십자가를 높이 든다!

Places to see in ( Augsburg - Germany ) Augsburg City Hall
Places to see in ( Augsburg - Germany ) Augsburg City Hall
The Town Hall of Augsburg is the administrative centre of Augsburg, Bavaria, Germany, and one of the most significant secular buildings of the Renaissance style north of the Alps. It was designed and built by Elias Holl, Stadtbaumeister (Master Builder of the town), in 1615–1624. Due to its historic and cultural importance, it is protected by the Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict.
On 25 August 1615, the foundation stone of the building was laid by then Stadtbaumeister Elias Holl. The exterior of the building was completed in March 1620, and the interior in 1624. Technologically, the Augsburger Rathaus was a pioneering performance; upon its completion it was the first building in the world with more than six storeys. The rigid elegance of the large stonework was similar to Florence, the cultural and financial capital of Northern Italy, with which the city gladly compared itself. The self-image of the Free Imperial City of Augsburg is represented by two conspicuous ornaments on the large gable at the front of the building: the first is the Reichsadler, or Imperial Eagle of the Holy Roman Empire, representing the town's importance; the second is the large copper pine cone, or Zirbelnuss, which is the symbol of Augsburg.
The view of the Rathaus was almost completely blocked by the stock exchange building built in 1828, until British bombing on the night of 25 February 1944 destroyed the latter. The removal of the remains of the stock exchange in the 1960s finally made it possible to view the Rathaus properly from the town square.
The original Augsburger Rathaus was built in 1385, and it was decided at the beginning of the seventeenth century to complete a simple renovation of it in order to accommodate the Imperial Reichstag, which then sat in the city. In 1609, the town council commissioned the renowned architect, Elias Holl, to draw up a renovation plan for the Gothic building. It was only after six years of work that Holl could produce a plan for the magistrates, but this was rejected by the council, and, to Holl's surprise, he was issued with a new brief: to demolish the old Gothic town hall and erect in its place a beautiful new building.
Inside the Rathaus, Holl built three overlaying halls: on the ground floor, behind the main entrance, is the Lower Fletz, and on the floor above, the Upper Fletz; by far the most impressive room in the building, however, is the double-height Goldener Saal, or Golden Hall, with its magnificent doorways, murals and coffered ceiling. Adjacent to the Goldener Saal are the Fürstenzimmer, or Prince's Rooms, designed as retreats for important guests. The construction cost of the new Rathaus was around 100,000 Guilder.
The visitor enters the Augsburger Rathaus through an inconspicuous door at the front of the building, through a vestibule and into the Lower Fletz, on the ground floor. This monumental hall, with its marble columns and vaulted ceiling, is the main entrance to one of two staircases leading to the upper floors of the Rathaus.
The Upper Fletz, on the second floor, once housed the offices of the Augsburg town council, but since the war has been used as the meeting room of the council. The second floor also has offices of the political groups represented on the council. This part of the Rathaus is not generally open to visitors.
The Goldener Saal, or Golden Hall, is the most impressive of the Rathaus's rooms, and one of the most important cultural monuments of the late German Renaissance. The Hall covers an area of 552 square metres (5,940 sq ft) with a ceiling height of 14 metres (46 ft), and is richly adorned with large doorways, magnificent murals and a coffered ceiling. The interior of the Hall was designed by Johann Matthias Kager, and was not completed until 1643 (the rest of the building was completed in 1624).

Places to see in ( Augsburg - Germany ) Augustusbrunnen
Places to see in ( Augsburg - Germany ) Augustusbrunnen
The Augustusbrunnen is next to the Merkurbrunnen and Herkulesbrunnen one of the three magnificent fountains in Augsburg . It is located in the town hall square and represents the founder of the city, the Roman emperor Augustus . A splendidly forged fountain grid prevents access to the edge of the pool and the water of the fountain.
The Augustus fountain is not directly in front of the Augsburg city hall , but rather in front of the Perlachturm tower . His position in the square comes from the fact that the Rathausplatz was originally much smaller than today. It was not enlarged until the early 1960s to its present dimensions when war ruins were removed.
Augsburger Augustusbrunnen was cast in the years 1588 to 1594 according to models by the Dutch sculptor Hubert Gerhard by the city founder Peter Wagner . The fountain is made of two different materials, marble and bronze. The figure of Augustus is about 2.50 m high and weighs 27 hundredweight . The emperor is depicted as a man of about 50 years. The gesture of the raised right is that of the adlocutio , the solemn address to the army. A laurel wreath adorns the head of the emperor; Laurel as a sign of fame, honor, tranquility and peace. On the tunic reliefs are to be seen, which are to symbolize the characteristics of an emperor: lion heads as a sign of strength, dolphins with trident as a sign of quick decision and tritons , mixed beings of man and fish. At the foot of Augustus is the city arms of Augsburg, the pine cone on a Corinthian capital, and two Capricorn skulls , references to the sign of the zodiac under which Augustus was born.
The inscriptions on this fountain, originally made of inlaid metal letters, were replaced by fire-gilded inscriptions in 1749. The first inscription is dedicated to Emperor Augustus , the founder and benefactor of the city: IMP.CAES.DIVI.F AUGUSTO PARENTI COLONIA AUGUSTA VINDEL. The civil settlement at the confluence of Lech and Wertach , which was created after the Roman conquest of the Alpine foothills by Drusus and Tiberius , probably received the name Augusta Vindelicum under Emperor Tiberius . The optimal preservation method for a bronze certainly offers the accommodation in the interior. The figure of Augustus is the most damaged due to the unfavorable alloy composition compared to the other bronzes on Augustus well. This fact led the city of Augsburg to set up the bronze image in the interior. The fountain column is now crowned by a bronze cast of the Augustus figure, the original is presented in the glass roof-covered courtyard of the Maximilian Museum .

Vizcaya Museum and Gardens holds its annual gala every November. This year’s Vizcaya Ball samples the estate’s most elaborate spaces to create a gilded glam fantasy with the theme “Rock Your Rococo.”
From the Music Room to the Espagnolette Bedroom and everywhere in between, we find gilt armchairs, canopies, pearls and twisting garlands on painted canvas walls. The Main House is a tapestry of 18th-century French Rococo elements imported from Milan, Paris and other capitals of style. The Vizcaya Ball draws breath from these design elements to bring a glittering fantasy to life in one spectacular evening.
As one of the most celebrated formal affairs in Miami, the Vizcaya Ball will begin with a red carpet entrance, leading into the Courtyard. The evening will continue with entertainment and an elegant dinner overlooking Biscayne Bay. A spectacular fireworks display, high above the historic Stone Barge, will top off the festivities.
