Urban context. The University of Applied Sciences in Merseburg has approximately 3,000 students. The campus is characterized by the typical postmodern prefabricated blocks of the 50s and 60s - some have already been renovated or demolished. A few buildings are still preserved in their original condition. Next to one of the dormitories is an annex with two levels. This former north-south-oriented telephone station is now repurposed as a new nursery school for the Association of Student Services. It provides a place for up to 42 children at the age of 0-6 years. The facade layout with the new central main entrance allows parents and employees direct access. Large new windows in a wood-aluminum construction on the south and north facades translate the long building into a contemporary architectural language and ensure the natural lighting of the rooms. The conversion gives this building a new function and appearance. © Célia UhaldeInterior design. The heart of the project is an almost cathedral-like room in the basement. This interesting room is now a space for playing, climbing, sliding, and romping with customized furniture out of spruce. The spacious room height of the stock allows playing on different levels. Designed as a Japanese wall, the room divider is a storage option for toys. and also the north-facing bedroom are arranged on the base floor On the ground floor are the group rooms with adjoining cloakrooms and sanitary facilities The deep window sills in the hallway provide seating for waiting parents runs throughout the entire building in combination with the light spruce wood You'll now receive updates based on what you follow Personalize your stream and start following your favorite authors If you have done all of this and still can't find the email Global system integrator Fluence and utility Münch Energie are developing a solar-plus-storage plant with 34MWh of storage in Merseburg Fluence will assemble a 11.7MW/34MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) for the project using its Gridstack energy storage product The solar PV will have a power of 34MW and the project is scheduled for completion in 2023 The two assets will share a grid connection and will be directly connected to the electricity grid via a specially built transformer station, enabling Münch Energie to participate in the secondary reserve market (aFRR), a relatively new ancillary service market in West Europe. The project was one of the winners in May’s Innovation Tender issued by the German Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur) Projects which pair solar PV with another renewable energy asset are eligible and all or most winning projects are solar-plus-storage and winning projects receive a fixed premium per kWh of energy dispatched into the grid Mario Münch, founder and CEO of Münch Energie, indicated that his company and Fluence had more plans to bid for projects in the Tender: “To drive the further development of solar + storage projects in the country, Münch Energie and Fluence are planning more projects with triple-digit megawatt-hour capacity.” By 2028, the market regulator plans to award contracts of up to 4GWh to the developers of distributed energy storage systems under the Innovation Tenders according to Fluence’s press release. This roughly matches up with Tricera’s estimate that around 400MWh of batteries would be tendered every half year in the coming years. The Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems says that Germany will need 84GWh of additional BESS capacity to achieve a renewable mix of 80% by 2030, on top of things like pumped hydro. It currently only has around 600MW of grid-scale (1MW-plus) BESS online, although considerably more residential and smaller commercial & industrial-located (C&I) capacity. Services like aFRR will continue to be an important driver of revenues for grid-scale battery storage projects, but the overall grid ancillary services’ limited market size in Germany means wholesale energy trading is certain to grow in the value stack in the coming years. the foundation stone for a cathedral was laid in Merseburg on the Saale A jubilee exhibition is now showing precious treasures

in the library of the Merseburg Cathedral chapter Die HeThe Holy Lance is a copy of the imperial insignia carried by the Germanic rulers of the Holy Roman Empire It was considered holy because it was supposed to contain a nail or at least shavings from the Holy Cross It is said to have been used at Heinrich II’s coronation as a king in 1002 The Merseburg Cathedral has undergone many changes the famous Ladegast organ was installed in the mid-19th century It blocked the old angles of view that were familiar and taken for granted during the Reformation period large-format canvases seem to open

Environment Agency (UBA) today officially opened the National Centre for Environmental and Nature Conservation Information in Merseburg will grow to 25 employees by the end of 2024 Their task will be to set up the umwelt.info internet portal the portal will bundle all relevant information on environmental protection and nature conservation in Germany and make it more accessible "The new Merseburg site is a perfect fit for UBA," said Lilian Busse Vice President of the German Environment Agency we can draw on the technical expertise of Merseburg University of Applied Sciences as an environmental authority we can contribute something to the ecological and digital transformation in a former brown coal region." the centre is entrusted with the development and operation of the data and information portal umwelt.info which is intended to become the first point of contact for questions on environmental protection and nature conservation as a search engine The nationwide knowledge resource is intended to make environmentally relevant ⁠data and information from all sectors and federal levels easier to find and to relate to each other "The umwelt.info team is very interdisciplinary so that we can provide the portal with the appropriate data on current environmental and nature conservation issues in a professionally sound manner," says Anja Reineke we also want to offer an interesting and varied range of services for the general public with our future web editorial team." An important first milestone was already reached before the official opening of the new location – the completion of a prototype metadata index in July this year The metadata index is a central component of the emerging portal It systematically catalogues the data and information resources contained there so that this content will be publicly accessible and searchable free of charge for all users in the future The portal is being developed as an open source project and can be viewed publicly at  https://gitlab.opencode.de/umwelt-info . All interested parties are cordially invited to contribute to the project in this way.

Suppliers Guide | Jobs | Register | Advertising both in solo performances as a singer/harpist (the Beowulf epic) and in collaboration with the singers and players of his talented ensemble Sequentia At Jordan Hall on Wednesday evening they reached back several centuries earlier than in the usual Boston Early Music Festival fare to bring us a riveting series of “Charms Riddles and Elegies” on Anglo-Saxon and Germanic texts and played a six-string lyre-shaped Anglo-Saxon harp reproduced in Germany and also wielded a traditional deer-hide drum from Vancouver Island Other performers were Norbert Rodenkirchen who played a small bone flute by Boston’s own Friedrich von Huene in addition to a variety of wooden cross-flutes and a 16-string medieval harp Bagby structured the concert in four segments designed to draw us First came the so-called “Merseburg Charms,” the only known examples of Germanic pagan belief preserved in Old High German Compelling incantations by the two women in shrill unison urged on the Valkyries and called for the healing of a wounded battle horse Bagby posed an Anglo-Saxon riddle in two stanzas that described first the physical structure of a “creature” and then its power Assuming the persona of a tribal singer using a pentatonic melody of restricted compass Bagby cited tales of famous men who suffered before recounting his own loss of status as singer to the king More charms in Old High German and Anglo-Saxon followed: to bless a house and to manage a swarm of bees The second program segment opened with an instrumental piece based on one of the few surviving melodies from the northern islands Magnus hymn from a manuscript of around 1230 from the Orkneys The two Anglo-Saxon harps accompanied what sounded like an improvisatory flight by Rodenkirchen on a sonorous wooden flute More riddles from Bagby alluded to a quill pen and the fingers that command it Stef Conner eloquently assumed the role of an Anglo-Saxon wife waiting and longing for her absent warrior husband Concluding incantations aimed to chase away a litany of invasions of the human body Rodenkirchen opened the third program segment with a beautiful rendition of the ancient Icelandic folk tune “Lilja” on the flute Bagby’s performance of the “Dying Old Man” elegy from the Beowulf epic was equally moving while incantations against the spider-dwarf and “little tumors” were downright frightening The instrumental piece that opened the fourth and final segment was “deconstructed” back in time by Rodenkirchen from a 10th-century sequence by the St based on the supposition that a multi-stanza Christian sequence might have been based on a pre-Christian melody from oral tradition Three Anglo-Saxon riddles described household objects — bread dough a butter churn — to which obscene doubles entendres could easily be ascribed — but were left to our imaginations Hanna Marti performed her own reconstruction of the Anglo-Saxon “Wulf and Eadwacer” elegy with its haunting refrain “It is different with us.” The poem is preserved in a manuscript known as the Exeter Book but several of the poems included in the book are much older and some of them have been dated as far back as the 7th century The story of Wulf and Eadwacer is enigmatic According to the most widely credited interpretation being held prisoner on an island by Eadwacer while Wulf (her lover or husband) is in exile perhaps being hunted by the speaker’s people her defiant isolation in the face of danger became palpable Marti and Conner joined forces with Bagby’s harp and Rodenkirchen’s flute to invoke charms against bleeding that freely mixed pagan magic and Christian imagery Bagby recited an elaborate charm that invoked Wotan and finally Christ to drive out nine poisons from the body The evening closed with the “Mill Song of Frodi’s Slave Girls,” taken from a 13th-century prose Edda in Old Icelandic King Frodi hires two slave girls to grind out wealth and prosperity for him with a magic millstone But remembering that they are descended from powerful mountain giants they instead grind out an army to destroy him Marti and Conner were menacingly convincing in their vengeful anger the second part of each stanza shifting to the shrill tessitura of the melody’s upper final It seemed to this uninstructed listener that both imaginative re-composition and a good deal of conjecture were brought to bear in bringing these “Lost Songs” to life These are musicians steeped in improvisatory traditions they have mastered obscure languages and made them their own in performances that are riveting as well as convincing We are grateful for the varied-repetition structure of the program for the complete texts and translations provided by Anglo-Saxonist Craig Williamson and for projection of the translations on Jordan Hall’s screen Sequentia promises detailed information about sources and reconstructions for the program beginning in summer 2019 was

the history of race and its legacy in the U.S The human and social problems that social workers contend with every day often have their roots in the past: political upheavals that led to the marginalization of one group within the society or a wave of immigration to a new social setting A travel-study academic exchange program at the School of Social Work encourages UConn students to explore the Holocaust and its ongoing effects in Germany while students from the University of Merseburg learn about the history of race in the U.S A vibrant dialogue spawned by the 10-day travel study program offering differing perspectives of social work practice in the two countries took place recently at UConn’s Greater Hartford campus as social work students grappled with the complex moral issues that result from structural oppression Following a week’s visit that included seminars; a day-long interactive discussion with a child refugee of the Holocaust; and a field trip to York the women’s correctional facility in Niantic to learn about social work practice in U.S 18 German students joined their UConn counterparts for a day-long conference called “Learning From Each Other.” and multiple perspectives of previous and current social systems in order to effect change,” said associate professor Lisa Werkmeister-Rozas chair of the School of Social Work’s Human Oppression curriculum unit and coordinator of the exchange program “The program gives students an opportunity to reflect comparatively about similar cases and patterns of conflict,” she said “My students learn they can’t just take their models and say ‘this is what you have to do,’ because the systemic inequities their German peers struggle with are different And this makes my students re-examine what they’re doing and question whether it’s right.” UConn students reported on research they conducted in Germany while their visitors discussed social work systems in their once ethnically homogenous country which is now dealing with the legacy of that massive social and demographic transformation that has taken place since the end of World War II Merseburg master’s student Marcel Pytka supervises a speech therapy program for 226 preschool children in Halle a town in the German state of Saxony-Anhalt near Merseburg that was once part of socialist East Germany which ended the Cold War division of the communist East and capitalist West but has also generated waves of immigrants from Eastern Europe and the Middle East giving rise to new political and social tensions More than 40 percent of the children he works with do not speak or write German noting that Saxony-Anhalt has invested heavily in child-care facilities and employs many social workers in an effort to help integrate these children into German society “We demonstrate that these speech support investments are worthwhile,” he said stressing that fluency in German is a prerequisite to the ‘good health’ of society “This preschool program will have important economic payoffs in terms of quality of later opportunities in life for these children Going beyond the war-movie Nazi stereotypes that are familiar in the U.S. is studying how present-day Germans – taught by law about Nazi horrors in school – manage feelings of complicity or responsibility for the Holocaust who traveled to Germany earlier this year with the third group of UConn students participating in the exchange program conducted interviews with German students and their parents and sadness that so many lost their lives,” said Vallee Many younger Germans who grew up after Germany’s reunification have difficulty discussing the Holocaust with their parents: “These aren’t pleasant stories,” one person told her A majority of the Germans she interviewed emphasized their ethical commitment to righting the injustice of the Holocaust “We are all responsible as people to make sure it does not happen again.” The exchange program was developed by Werkmeister-Rozas following a three-month teaching sabbatical at Hochschule (University) Merseburg who was seeking ways to enhance his students’ international experience Herwig-Lempp said that despite the Nazi legacy of racism and prejudice Germany today has a “more generous social safety net than the United States.” He added that many German social workers now work with immigrants from various foreign countries and that in order to treat them with dignity and respect it is necessary to understand their identity as well as society’s attitude towards them “helps them develop a foreigner’s perspective and insight into concepts of power Werkmeister-Rozas said that in order to work effectively with clients social workers must understand the social context Investigating the Holocaust and its effect on people is a meaningful way to examine the past and future social and cultural dynamic in Germany it’s not as simple as the Nazis are bad and the Jews are victims,” she said We examine factors that impacted a person’s response to the Holocaust – not to say what they did was right – but to understand the situation that led to their decision and that someone else in that situation might have made a similar decision “It’s really about all of us living life from the positions we find ourselves in and learning about the human condition,” she said Imagine bailing out of a

executive director of the Washington County Veteran Service Commission the board of commissioners has inducted more veterans than the previous year and added civilians and businesses who honor and serve our veteran community Pape and Stewart are to be awarded posthumously for their service The Hall of Fame induction was launched in 2018 when local veteran service commissioners sought to recognize not only the war stories but also the accomplishments of this area’s citizen-servants echoing the mindset of Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus ceding military power at the close of crisis “We couldn’t wait to get home,” said Bauer you’re putting on your ‘civies’ instead of the khaki’s.” and continue serving their communities through farming “It’s always great to see not only our veterans honored for their service but embraced and recognized by their families for that service in their home community as well,” said Fitzgerald a two-theater conflict that drew in more than 30 countries’ young servicemen to fight suffer and die on battlefields far from home is still vivid in the minds of the two war veterans approaching their centennial horizons Dye still questions how he made it to the ground of that French hillside how he made it out alive after several months as a prisoner of war “I was forced to march all the way across Germany,” he recalled very cold winter to march some 500 miles.” Bauer still recalls the fear of smoke billowing ahead still respecting the marksmanship of German gunners on the ground aiming for his bomber and the surrounding planes in formation but the Germans were trained too,” Bauer pointed out And the two were humbled by the notice of county recognition for their service “I don’t want to give a speech or anything just say thank you and go sit down,” Bauer said quietly as he smiled sitting on his front porch in Marietta Thursday “It’s quite an honor to be selected I’m not sure what to do,” said Dye “I didn’t ever much talk about it I never had a reason to,” Dye continued “It was just the last two or three years I started to talk After kind of holding it in all those years.” Bauer said he still tries to recall the names of the towns he was sent on missions to bombard “Some of these places you’d never heard of before and I haven’t heard of since,” he explained as he sat for the first time reading his mission notes typed Those mission notes were included in the nomination submitted to the Washington County Veteran Service Commission for consideration of Bauer to the Hall of Fame Stewart and Private First Class Pape include in the nominations from family members their humility in returning from war as well “Frank (Pape) was a local farmer,” wrote nominator Kristen Haynes-Wickline “Frank was involved in the infamous Battle of the Bulge his unit was attacked by an artillery barrage by Germany.” Pape was taken as a prisoner of war and survived the conditions of moldy biscuits digging graves and repairing infrastructure until his release on May 14 Frank worked for 27 years as a rural mail carrier for the U.S Postal Service in Marietta,” wrote Wickline “(He) continued to farm for the rest of his life.” submitted Stewart’s own notes from the war as part of the application “I had three attacks of malaria and two bouts with Diptheria,” he explained “My best friend and I were sent to a farm workgroup at Mossin Lost in his writings are any glamour associated with the war effort we were picking up potatoes to haul into the shed for sorting I helped my friend finish his row after being forbidden to do so,” he continued “The guard put his rifle barrel to my temple all the time I have one eyewitness still living to verify and swear to this nightmares and flashbacks of this event.” carrying those memories on into their lives as civilians knowing the ‘flak’ they could catch at home was no match for what they had survived abroad “That’s what a milk run is,” described Bauer “It means you didn’t get shot at,” he
