Excerpt: Hedwig Elizabeth Charlotte of Holstein-Gottorp (Swedish: ; Eutin, 22 March 1759 Stockholm, 20 June 1818) was the queen consort of Charles XIII of Sweden, and also a famed diarist, memoirist and wit. She is generally known in Sweden by her full pen name (above), though her official name as queen was Charlotte. She was the daughter of Duke Frederick August of Holstein-Gottorp, Bishop of Lübeck and Duke of Oldenburg, and Princess Ulrike Friederike Wilhelmine of Hesse-Kassel. She grew up in Eutin and married her cousin, the future king, Charles, Duke of Södermanland, in Stockholm on 7 July 1774 when she was fifteen years old. The marriage was arranged by King Gustav III to provide the throne of Sweden with an heir. The king had not consummated his marriage and had decided to give the task of providing an heir to the throne to his brother. Hedvig Elisabeth Charlotte of Holstein-Gottorp, during her time as a royal duchess. Portrait by Alexander RoslinThe wedding was celebrated very luxuriously (she arrived in Stockholm by gondola). She was noted for her beauty her waist measured a mere 48 cm (19") and her shoe size 31 (girls' size 13) and, as the marriage of the king had not been consummated after nine years, there were hopes that she would provide an heir for the throne. In 1775, there were signs that she was pregnant. It was hoped that the question of succession was solved, and prayers were held in the c...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=8500524 ... Read more

Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: The Kalkberg (lit. "chalk mountain") is a 91-metre-high rock in the center of Bad Segeberg. The name is a misnomer as it is not made of limestone (calcium carbonate), but from gypsum (calcium sulfate). The gypsum was formed from of sulfate sediments, which were deposited about 250 million years ago by the Zechstein Sea. Smaller disturbances in the more recent epochs of earth history allowed the less dense Zechstein salts to flow together and force their way upwards from a great depth into the younger overlying rocks to a level near that of the present-day surface. Under the Kalkberg is a salt dome, from which it rises by one to two millimeters a year. As the red cliffs of Heligoland or the Münsterdorfer Geestinsel, it is limestone so that one it is of the few formations in Schleswig-Holstein which was not created by the ice ages. The mining of the salt dome ends in 1860. From the salt dome comes the brine feeting the saltwater bath that give Bad Segeberg its name. Old view of the KalkbergOriginally, the Kalkberg was about 110 m high. After centuries of mining of the gypsum, it stands only 91 meters today. In the Middle Ages, Lothair of Saxony built a castle on the mountain - then called Alberg'. It was destroyed in the Thirty Years War by the Swedes. Today, only a well shaft remains. In 1913, limestone caves which located in the lower part of the rock were discovered. They are home to bats and the only known Segeberger cave beetles (Choleva septentrionis holsatica). Before the First World War, the Kalkberg was property of the Prussian state, which every year made not inconsiderable profits from the gypsum ...http://booksllc.net/?l=de ... Read more

Excerpt: Felix August Bernhard Draeseke (October 7, 1835 February 26, 1913) was a composer of the "New German School" admiring Liszt and Richard Wagner. He wrote compositions in most forms including eight operas and stage works, four symphonies, and much vocal and chamber music. Felix Draeseke was born in the Franconian ducal town of Coburg, Germany. He was attracted to music early in life and wrote his first composition at age 8. He encountered no opposition from his family when, in his mid-teens, he declared his intention of becoming a professional musician. A few years at the Leipzig conservatory did not seem to benefit his development, but after one of the early performances of Wagner's Lohengrin he was won to the camp of the New German School centered around Franz Liszt at Weimar, where he stayed from 1856 (arriving just after Joachim Raff's departure) to 1861. In 1862 Draeseke left Germany and made his way to Switzerland, teaching in the Suisse Romande in the area around Lausanne. Upon his return to Germany in 1876, Draeseke chose Dresden as his place of residence. Though he continued having success in composition, it was only in 1884 that he received an official appointment to the Dresden conservatory and, with it, some financial security. In 1894, two years after his promotion to a professorship at the Royal Saxon Conservatory, at the age of 58, he married his former pupil Frida Neuhaus. In 1912 he completed his final orchestral work, the Fourth Symphony. On February 26, 1913, Draeseke suffered a stroke and died; he is buri...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=780180 ... Read more
