Wiesbadener Programm
The (Wiesbaden program) is a program for Protestant church architecture developed in Wiesbaden, the capital of Hesse, Germany, in the late 19th century. It contradicted an older (Eisenach rule) from 1861 which demanded that new church buildings had to follow Romanesque Revival style or Gothic Revival style. The program was initiated by Emil Veesenmeyer, minister of the Bergkirche, and Johannes Otzen, an architect who designed the Ringkirche (1892–94) as the first church following the principles of the program. A focus is the unity of pulpit, altar, and organ, which should be together and visible from every seat for the congregation. Churches which follow the program include in Wiesbaden also the Lutherkirche (1907–10), in Hannover the (1895–98), in Elberfeld the (1894–98), in Basel the Pauluskirche (1898–1901), and in Bern the Pauluskirche (1902–05), among several buildings throughout Germany and also in Switzerland.

Gothic Architecture
Gothic architecture (or pointed architecture) is an architectural style that was prevalent in Europe from the late 12th to the 16th century, during the High and Late Middle Ages, surviving into the 17th and 18th centuries in some areas. It evolved from Romanesque architecture and was succeeded by Renaissance architecture. It originated in the Île-de-France and Picardy regions of northern France. The style at the time was sometimes known as ''opus Francigenum'' (lit. French work); the term ''Gothic'' was first applied contemptuously during the later Renaissance, by those ambitious to revive the architecture of classical antiquity. The defining design element of Gothic architecture is the pointed or ogival arch. The use of the pointed arch in turn led to the development of the pointed rib vault and flying buttresses, combined with elaborate tracery and stained glass windows. At the Abbey of Saint-Denis, near Paris, the choir was reconstructed between 1140 and 1144, draw ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gründerzeit
(; "founders' period") was the economic phase in 19th-century Germany and Austria before the great stock market crash of 1873. In Central Europe, the age of industrialisation had been taking place since the 1840s. That period is not precisely dated, but in Austria, the March Revolution of 1848 is generally accepted as the beginning of economic changes, in contrast to political reforms. In Germany, as a consequence of the large influx of capital resulting from French war reparations from the Franco-Prussian War of 1870–1871 and the subsequent unification of Germany, an economic boom then gave rise to the description of these years as the "entrepreneurs' years". These years in Central Europe saw citizens increasingly influence cultural development. The time was also one of classical liberalism, even if the political demands of the time were only partially met. Industrialisation also posed aesthetic challenges, above all in the fields of architecture and craftsmanship, throug ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
