Upper Palatinate became part of the electorate of Bavaria. At this time the people were to return to Catholicism or leave the town forever. Many families fled to the towns of Regensburg and Nuremberg. Amberg was the regional capital of Upper Palatinate from 1795 A.D. until 1810 A.D., at that time the larger city of Regensburg became the capital.

The Private House in Regensburg was built in 1979, which is Thomas Herzog’s own home; one can declare that he is the client and designer himself thus fulfilling his own needs or desires for the site. The house demonstrates particular principles of energy efficiency, making it an early eco-home. This can be shown by the use of local materials, or taking advantage of the site for characteristics like protection and aesthetics. Thomas Herzog was born in during World War 2 (1941), in Munich, Germany
The House at Regensburg was built in 1979 and is located in Regensburg, Germany. It was designed by Thomas Herzog a German architect born in Munich 1941. Many of Herzog’s buildings are associated with bioclimatic architecture and eco-friendly buildings mainly due to the fact Herzog was involved in the concept of solar power technology. During this essay I will analyse Thomas Herzog’s House at Regensburg and explain the themes and principles behind different aspects of the house in comparison to
by the Lord to devote his life exclusively to the priesthood. The simple monastic life was enticing! Sebastian Wimmer was an intelligent young man. He attended the University of Regensburg, also known as Ratisbon, where he studied many classical and philosophical courses, and later studied law at the University of Regensburg. A scholarship opened up in the Gregorianum, and Wimmer felt obligated to learn more about it in pursuit of his study for the priesthood. Wimmer took the competitive scholarship
Throughout history faith and reason have been connected to each other for centuries. Without reason in faith the understanding diminishes and leads to a lack of faith or guessing and uncertainty. Many great men and women from ancient times have studied the relationship between faith and reason and have tried to connect them. Faith and reason are of the most importance when it comes to understanding religion and it’s meaning. Faith can be best defined, in context, as a view or position that a particular
Germany’s youngest professor of architecture at the tender-age of thirty-two. He is now known famously for his work on eco-tech architecture. The Private House, at Regensburg, is referred to many different names, one being ‘The Burghardt house’ (from Design for the Environment). Or commonly known in Germany, as the ‘Wohnhaus an Regensburg’. The wedge-shaped home, is situated in a residential area between numbers of multi-storey buildings, which date back to the 1950s. During this cultural time,
Johannes Kepler was a German astronomer who was important to the progression of the Scientific Revolution. He was a great mathematician and was one of the chief founders of modern astronomy. His education contributed to his discoveries in astronomy, including his finding of three major laws of planetary motion. Johannes Kepler was born on December 27, 1571 in Weil, Germany. He was a sickly child for years. Kepler had first attended a church school in Leonberg. At 13, he was accepted at the Adelberg
they would desecrate the holy objects and would infect the common plate and cup [16]. Epilepsy was also included in the infectious diseases enumerated in the verse of the so-called Schola Salernitana, where it was named pedicon [37]. Berthold of Regensburg, attributed the infection of the ‘falling evil’, as epilepsy was commonly called during this period, to the contagious character of the patient’s evil breath. During this time epilepsy was not fully understood and people that had seizures were thought
Stimulus/Response Versus Input/Output Theory: An Orientation to the Syntax of Scientific Literature There appears to be a steady desire within the scientific and lay community to explain events which occur in the universe in a concrete absolute fashion. This most likely extends from an unconscious (or conscious) need to control the world around us. Such control can give a sense of security regarding our future. If we can explain why events happen, we can attempt to predict when and for what
The Life and Times of Johannes Kepler Johannes Kepler, was a German astronomer and natural philosopher, noted for formulating and verifying the three laws of planetary motion. These laws are now known as Kepler's laws. Johannes Kepler was born in Weil der Stadt in Swabia, in southwest Germany. From 1574 to 1576 Johannes lived with his grandparents; in 1576 his parents moved to nearby Leonberg, where Johannes entered the Latin school. In 1584 he entered the Protestant seminary at Adelberg, and
Johannes Kepler was a German mathematician, astronomer, and astrologer. He helped evolve the idea of planets, stars, and their motions. He was an influential scientist that helped change the ideas of the universe for the better. He helped change the idea that the planets orbited in a perfect circle around earth. Although he lived a poor life and he never became wealthy, he lived a fulfilling and substantial life. Johannes Kepler was born on December 27, 1571. He was born a very sickly child to very
The Holocaust was a terrible time in history. Over 6.9 million Jews were shot, burned, gassed, and killed in many horrific names by the dictator of Nazi Germany, Adolf Hitler, and the Nazi Party. The concentration camps they were forced into were brutal, as they were beat daily and many executed if they did not die from the poor health conditions of the camp. But there are heroes of the Holocaust- people who found the willpower to survive the genocide, such as Anne Frank and Eliezer Wiesel. But then
Joseph Ratzinger was born on April 16, 1927 in Marktl, Bavaria, Germany. He was birthed in his parents’ home, on Holy Saturday. On the same day, he was baptized. His father, Joseph Ratzinger, was a very religious man and a police officer, who was modestly paid. His mother, Maria Ratzinger, was a stay-at-home mother. His brother, Gerog, and his sister, Maria, were older than him. “He was the youngest of three children” (Streissguth 11). Ratzinger’s childhood was not like any other. In that time, Germany
optics. However, his main contribution with the greatest impact was Keplers laws of planetary motion. These laws provided the groundwork for many great scientific including Sir Isaac Newton’s work on the universal gravitation. He died of fever in Regensburg, Germany on November 15, 1630.
Perhaps for no group of people were ‘the dark ages’ so aptly named as for the Jews. Over the span of one thousand years life changed wildly for the Jewish people and not in a positive way. At the start of the 5th Century the future looked bright but by the 15th century life was engulfed in darkness. This essay will investigate exactly how the legal position of the Jews was able to deteriorate so badly. When we are considering the legal position of Jews in Medieval Germany, the question we need to

He was forced to leave the university after less than a year owing to lack of funds, and became a scholarship student at the Gymnasium poeticum at Regensburg, taking private instruction under Kaspar Prentz.

The Black Death, also known as the Black Plague and Bubonic Plague, was a catastrophic plague that started out in Asia and began to spread into Europe. In the span of three years, the Black Death killed about one third of all the people in Europe. The plague started out in the Gobi Dessert in Mongolia during the 1320’s. From the desert the plague began to spread outwards in all directions. China was among the first to suffer from the plague in the early 1330s before the plague hit Europe. During
In 1163, the construction of Notre Dame started, under the bishop Maurice de Sully. When Maurice de Sully decided to build the Notre Dame in Paris, he did it because he wanted to give the capital of France a cathedral worthy of France’s largest city. In addition, he wanted to build it in a Gothic style, which was modern during the time it was built. (Cathédrale Notre Dame De Paris) For instance, Noyon, Senlis, Laon, and Sense, which were all built during the 11th century, were all in the Ghotic style
Historiographical Essay – The First Crusade At the end of the 11th century, Western Europe had emerged as a great power, not yet as strong as the Byzantine Empire or the Islamic Empire of the Middle East and North Africa, however, it had substantial growth in political and religious influence during the Middle Ages. At this time the Byzantine Empire was under constant attack from the Seljuk Turks and many losses had lead to a significant decrease in the Byzantine territories. After the wars with
