Erbsen
Erbsen is a village in the ''Flecken'' (market town) Adelebsen in the Landkreis Göttingen in Lower Saxony, Germany. The village has about four hundred inhabitants. It lies some twelve kilometers west of Göttingen on the main road to Adelebsen proper. History The oldest known written reference to Erbsen is some time between AD 826 and 876 in the Traditiones Corbeienses, where it was called Erpeshusen. The exact date of this reference is uncertain since it is only directly known from a fifteenth-century copy. In addition, the certainty that "Erpeshusen" actually refers to Erbsen has not been established, since it has been suggested that it could be referring to an abandoned village near Driburg. The name Erpessun is used in the Vita Meinwercci around 1015 to 1036. (The fact that ''Erbsen'' is German for "pea" is purely coincidental and not connected to the community's etymology.) In the 1920s, the village expanded northward. After the Second World War, an additional expa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Baroque
The Baroque (, ; ) is a style of architecture, music, dance, painting, sculpture, poetry, and other arts that flourished in Europe from the early 17th century until the 1750s. In the territories of the Spanish and Portuguese empires including the Iberian Peninsula it continued, together with new styles, until the first decade of the 19th century. It followed Renaissance art and Mannerism and preceded the Rococo (in the past often referred to as "late Baroque") and Neoclassical styles. It was encouraged by the Catholic Church as a means to counter the simplicity and austerity of Protestant architecture, art, and music, though Lutheran Baroque art developed in parts of Europe as well. The Baroque style used contrast, movement, exuberant detail, deep colour, grandeur, and surprise to achieve a sense of awe. The style began at the start of the 17th century in Rome, then spread rapidly to France, northern Italy, Spain, and Portugal, then to Austria, southern Germany, and Russia. B ...
