Schwarzenberg Am Böhmerwald
Schwarzenberg am Böhmerwald is a municipality in the district of Rohrbach in the Austrian state of Upper Austria. Geography Schwarzenberg am Böhmerwald lies in the upper (northwestern) Mühlviertel region, near the tripoint with the German state of Bavaria and the South Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. The municipal area stretches along the southern slopes of the Bohemian Forest (''Böhmerwald'') range; about 71 percent of the municipality is forest, and 26 percent is farmland. History First mentioned in 1571, the ''Schwarznperg'' estates were held by the Bavarian Prince-Bishops of Passau since medieval times. The remote area near the border with the Kingdom of Bohemia from 1638 was the site of a forest glasshouse, which became a possession of Schlägl Abbey in 1719. Under the rule of Empress Maria Theresa, in 1765, Schwarzenberg finally passed to the Upper Austrian crown land of the Habsburg monarchy. The local parish was established according to a 1784 patent issue ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Upper Austria

Upper Austria borders Germany and the Czech Republic, as well as the other Austrian states of Lower Austria, Styria, and Salzburg. With an area of and 1.49 million inhabitants, Upper Austria is the fourth-largest Austrian state by land area and the third-largest by population. History Origins For a long period of the Middle Ages, much of what would become Upper Austria constituted Traungau, a region of the Duchy of Bavaria. In the mid-13th century, it became known as the Principality above the Enns River ('), this name being first recorded in 1264. (At the time, the term "Upper Austria" also included Tyrol and various scattered Habsburg possessions in South Germany.) Early modern era In 1490, the area was given a measure of independence within the Holy Roman Empire, with the status of a principality. By 1550, there was a Protestant majority. In 1564, ...

The Czech Republic has a hilly landscape that covers an area of with a mostly temperate continental and oceanic climate. The capital and largest city is Prague; other major cities and urban areas include Brno, Ostrava, Plzeň and Liberec. The Duchy of Bohemia was founded in the late 9th century under Great Moravia.

Viktor Schauberger
Viktor Schauberger (30 June 1885 – 25 September 1958) was an Austrian forest caretaker, natural history, naturalist, philosopher, inventor and biomimicry experimenter. Schauberger developed his own ideas based on what he observed in nature. In ''Implosion'' magazine, a magazine released by Schauberger's family, he said that aeronautical and marine engineers had incorrectly designed the propeller. He stated: As best demonstrated by Nature in the case of the aerofoil maple-seed, today’s propeller is a pressure-screw and therefore a braking screw, whose purpose is to allow the heavy maple-seed to fall parachute-like slowly towards the ground and to be carried away sideways by the wind in the process. No bird has such a whirling thing on its head, nor a fish on its tail. Only man made use of this natural brake-screw for forward propulsion. As the propeller rotates, so does the resistance rise by the square of the rotational velocity. This is also a sign that this supposed propulsiv ...
