Carl Von Häberlin
Carl von Häberlin (16 December 1832, in Oberesslingen – 13 April 1911, in Stuttgart) was a German painter and illustrator. Life he received his first lessons at the Stuttgart Kunstschule, then attended the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf from 1852 to 1856, where he studied under Theodor Hildebrandt and Wilhelm von Schadow. His first paintings were military scenes. In 1860, he pursued further studies with Karl Theodor von Piloty at the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich and expanded his thematic material, although still focusing on historical subjects. Following a two-year study trip to Italy in 1864, he returned to Stuttgart, where he continued to paint scenes from history (now including Italy), and worked as an illustrator. From 1868 to 1883, he was a Professor of genre painting at the Kunstschule. From 1878 to 1894, he spent the warmer months in Konstanz, working on twenty-six large scale murals at a hotel which had once been a monastery on Dominicans Island. These murals depict ...

Carl Haeberlin
Carl Haeberlin (15 December 1870 – 12 November 1954), sometimes also spelled Häberlin, was a German physician and natural historian. He was influential in the development of climatotherapy and thalassotherapy in Germany and founded the ''Dr. Carl-Häberlin-Friesenmuseum'' in Wyk auf Föhr.

Castell Castle
Castell Castle is a castle in the municipality of Tägerwilen of the Canton of Thurgau in Switzerland. It is a Swiss heritage site of national significance. East of the present-day castle can be found the ruins of the 12th-century Castell Castle, one of the largest defensive structures from the medieval period in the Lake Constance area. History Castell Castle, also known as Upper Castell (''Ober-Castell''), overlooks the village of Tägerwilen from a vantage point on the Thurgau Seerücken ridge. It dates back to the time of the Junker Konrad, ''Vogt'' (advocatus) of Wartenfels, an inhabitant of Konstanz, who in 1585 replaced an existing farmhouse with a manor house in late Renaissance style; this still forms the heart of the castle complex today. Before 1635, the castle passed into the possession of Beat Jakob Segesser von Brunegg, the ''Obervogt'' of Klingnau and Arbon. In 1661 the estate changed hands again, this time passing to the brothers Zollikofer von Altenklingen o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

19th-century German Painters
The 19th century began on 1 January 1801 (represented by the Roman numerals MDCCCI), and ended on 31 December 1900 (MCM). It was the 9th century of the 2nd millennium. It was characterized by vast social upheaval. Slavery was abolished in much of Europe and the Americas. The First Industrial Revolution, though it began in the late 18th century, expanded beyond its British homeland for the first time during the 19th century, particularly remaking the economies and societies of the Low Countries, France, the Rhineland, Northern Italy, and the Northeastern United States. A few decades later, the Second Industrial Revolution led to ever more massive urbanization and much higher levels of productivity, profit, and prosperity, a pattern that continued into the 20th century. The Catholic Church, in response to the growing influence and power of modernism, secularism and materialism, formed the First Vatican Council in the late 19th century to deal with such problems and confirm ce ...

Bladesmith
Bladesmithing is the art of making knives, swords, daggers and other blades using a forge, hammer, anvil, and other smithing tools. Bladesmiths employ a variety of metalworking techniques similar to those used by blacksmiths, as well as woodworking for knife and sword handles, and often leatherworking for sheaths. Bladesmithing is an art that is thousands of years old and found in cultures as diverse as China, Japan, India, Germany, Korea, the Middle East, Spain and the British Isles. As with any art shrouded in history, there are myths and misconceptions about the process. While traditionally bladesmithing referred to the manufacture of any blade by any means, the majority of contemporary craftsmen referred to as bladesmiths are those who primarily manufacture blades by means of using a forge to shape the blade as opposed to knifemakers who form blades by use of the stock removal method, although there is some overlap between both crafts. Related trades Many blade smiths were kn ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
German Peasants' War
The German Peasants' War, Great Peasants' War or Great Peasants' Revolt () was a widespread popular revolt in some German-speaking areas in Central Europe from 1524 to 1525. It was Europe's largest and most widespread popular uprising before the French Revolution of 1789. The revolt failed because of intense opposition from the aristocracy, who slaughtered up to 100,000 of the 300,000 poorly armed peasants and farmers. The survivors were fined and achieved few, if any, of their goals. Like the preceding Bundschuh movement and the Hussite Wars, the war consisted of a series of both economic and religious revolts involving peasants and farmers, sometimes supported by radical clergy like Thomas Müntzer. The fighting was at its height in the middle of 1525. The war began with separate insurrections, beginning in the southwestern part of what is now Germany and Alsace, and spread in subsequent insurrections to the central and eastern areas of Germany and present-day Austria. ...
