Excerpt:Gera, the third-largest city in the German state of Thuringia (after Erfurt, the Thuringian capital, and Jena), lies in east Thuringia on the river Weiße Elster (literally the "White Magpie"), approximately 60 kilometres to the south of the city of Leipzig and 80 kilometers to the east of Erfurt. As of 2007 Gera had a population of approximately 102,000. Gera lies at a height of between 180 meters (the level of the White Elster river) and 354 m (1,161.42 ft) (when measured at Gera-Falka at the furthest southeastern point). Usually the height above sea level for the city appears as 205 m (672.57 ft) when measured at the market place. The largest city forest of all the towns of Thuringia, called the City Forest of Gera (Geraer Stadtwald), stands on the western edge of the city. Another forested tract borders on the northwest city boundary. The Zeitzer Forest in Saxony-Anhalt stands just northeast of the city. The place name Gera originally referred to the area of the Elster river valley where the city later stood. The name likely originated before the European migration period, and the Slavic people who first settled the area during the 8th century adopted it. The first known documentary mention of Gera dates from 995. In 999, Emperor Otto III assigned the "province" of Gera to the Quedlinburg Abbey, whose abbesses assigned the protectorship of this area in 1209 to the Vogts of Weida (in G...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=244648 ...

Excerpt:Alma Thomas Alma Woodsey Thomas (September 22, 1891 February 24, 1978) was an African American Expressionist painter and art educator. Born and raised in Columbus , Georgia , Thomas moved to Washington, D.C. with her family in 1907. In 1924, she was the first graduate of Howard University 's art department. In 1934, Thomas became the first African American woman to earn a Master of Fine Arts degree from Columbia University . She was also the first African American woman to have a solo exhibit at the Whitney Museum of American Art . Thomas's early art was realistic , but delved into abstraction influenced by the work of her professors, Lois Mailou Jones and James V. Herring . Thomas's later art, influenced by Expressionism, became her best-known works: large canvases filled with irregular, brightly colored patterns. These works have been compared to Byzantine mosaics and the pointillist paintings of Georges-Pierre Seurat . Two of Thomas's works were hung in the White House . Her Watusi (Hard Edge) , a work inspired by Henri Matisse 's paper cutout The Snail , with colors reversed, hung in the East Wing office of First Lady Michelle Obama but was later sent back.

Auszug: Die Liste der Ehrenbürgerschaften Otto von Bismarcks führt Ehrenbürgerschaften auf, die Otto von Bismarck (1815-1898) verliehen wurden. Im Zuge der allgemeinen Verehrung seiner Person hatten ihn fünfundvierzig Kommunen bereits zu ihrem Ehrenbürger ernannt, als bekannt wurde, dass der Deutsche Reichstag beabsichtigt, Bismarcks achtzigsten Geburtstag am 1. April 1895 zu ignorieren. Daraufhin machten ihn viele Städte zu Ehrenbürgern, darunter die Mitglieder der im Entstehen begriffenen Städteverbände in geschlossener Form, so der badische, der thüringer und der sächsische. Dabei ergaben sich dort, wo Bismarck die Würde bereits innehatte, Doppelungen. Nach dem 1. April 1895 war Bismarck Ehrenbürger von rund 450 deutschen Städten. ...http://booksllc.net/?l=de&id=4109855 ... Read more

Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Erich Kästner (German pronunciation: ) (23 February 1899 - 29 July 1974) was a German author, poet, screenwriter and satirist, known for his humorous, socially astute poetry and children's literature. Kästner was born in Dresden, Kingdom of Saxony. He grew up in the Königsbrücker Straße of Dresden's Äußere Neustadt. Close by, the Erich Kästner Museum is located on the ground floor of Kästner's uncle Franz Augustin's former villa on Antonstraße next to the Albertplatz. Kästner's father Emil was a master saddlemaker. His mother Ida, née Augustin, was a maidservant and housewife, and in her thirties trained to be a hairstylist in order to supplement her husband's income. Kästner had a particularly close relationship with his mother. While he lived in Leipzig and Berlin, he wrote her fairly intimate daily letters and postcards. His novels, too, seem to be pervaded by overbearing mothers. It was rumored that Erich Kästner's natural father was not Emil Kästner, but rather the Jewish family doctor, Emil Zimmermann (1864-1953). These rumors never were substantiated. Kästner wrote about his childhood in his 1957 autobiography When I Was a Little Boy. According to Kästner, he did not suffer from being an only child, had many friends, and was not lonely or over-indulged. In 1913, Kästner entered a teacher training school in Dresden, but left the school in 1916 shortly before completing the courses that would have qualified him to teach at public schools. The German Empire was in turmoil. In 1914, when he was 15, World War I broke out. He later wro...http://booksllc.net/?l=de ... Read more
