Jenisch House, Hamburg, Germany - SpottingHistory.com

Jenisch House (Jenisch-Haus) is a country house in Hamburg built in the 19th century and an example of Hanseatic lifestyle and neoclassical architecture. As of 2008, Jenisch House is the home of the Museum für Kunst und Kultur an der Elbe.

Jenisch House is located in Jenisch Park, Hamburg's oldest landscaped park. The park was landscaped by Caspar Voght as a model farm and arboretum about 1800. It is located in the former independent locality of Klein Flottbek, now part of the Othmarschen quarter of Hamburg with a view toward the Elbe river. In 1828 Jenisch bought the farm and gardens from Voght and redesigned the area with the construction of his house.

Die Backwaren und der Service lassen nach. Kaufe seit Ewigkeiten die Hanseaten und mein Brot bei Euch. Bin in Othmarschen über Ottensen angefangen. Kaufe mindestens 2 manchmal 8 im Monat die Hanseaten und vieles vieles mehr. Hatte am Dienstag zwei Hanseaten gekauft. Sie schmeckten chemisch und gar nicht lecker. Nach meiner Nachfrage am Donnerstag, (ergo 2 Tage später) hat sich nichts in der Rezeptur geändert und ich wäre die erste, die Kritik äußert. Unverschämt wäre das. Hatte trotzdem erneut zwei neue gekauft. Leider dominierte wieder dieser chemische Geschmack. Ist die Kritik in der Bäckerei angekommen? Ich bezweifle dieses. Zum ersten Mal habe ich mich bei Euch unwohl und überrumpelt gefühlt. Masse anstatt Klasse?

Habe das Gebäude nur von außen gesehen. Liegt am nordwestlichen Rand im dazugehörigen Park. Sieht gut erhalten aus. Innen ist ein Museum: "Kunst- und Kulturgeschichte" [Wikipedia]. Etwas weiter steht das Ernst-Barlach-Haus, in dem Kunstwerke vom Namensgeber ausgestellt werden. Dadurch ist für Kunstinteressierte das ganze Ensemble interessant. Sehenswert allemal!

Roman Walls of Lugo

Roman Walls of Lugo are an exceptional architectural, archaeological and constructive legacy of Roman engineering, dating from the 3rd and 4th centuries AD. The Walls are built of internal and external stone facings of slate with some granite, with a core filling of a conglomerate of slate slabs and worked stone pieces from Roman buildings, interlocked with lime mortar.

Their total length of 2117 m in the shape of an oblong rectangle occupies an area of 1.68 ha. Their height varies between 8 and 10 m, with a width of 4.2 m, reaching 7 m in some specific points. The walls still contain 85 external towers, 10 gates (five of which are original and five that were opened in modern times), four staircases and two ramps providing access to the walkway along the top of the walls, one of which is internal and the other external. Each tower contained access stairs leading from the intervallum to the wall walk of town wall, of which a total of 21 have been discovered to date.

The defences of Lugo are the most complete and best preserved example of Roman military architecture in the Western Roman Empire.

Despite the renovation work carried out, the walls conserve their original layout and the construction features associated with their defensive purpose, with walls, battlements, towers, fortifications, both modern and original gates and stairways, and a moat.

Since they were built, the walls have defined the layout and growth of the city, which was declared a Historical-Artistic Ensemble in 1973, forming a part of it and becoming an emblematic structure that can be freely accessed to walk along. The local inhabitants and visitors alike have used them as an area for enjoyment and as a part of urban life for centuries.

The fortifications were added to UNESCO"s World Heritage List in late 2000 and are a popular tourist attraction.
