JACOB JR, MY JEWISH WORLD. NEUSCHWANSTEIN CASTLE. SCHWANGAU/GERMANY.

Image
Sunday, Sivan 27, 5779. June 30, 2019. Shalom! World. Address: Schwangau - Germany. Neuschwanstein Castle, is a 19th-century Romanesque Revival palace on a rugged hill above the village of Hohenschwangau near Füssen in southwest Bavária, Germany.  The palace was commissioned by Ludwig II of Bavária as a retreat and in honour of Richard Wagner. Ludwig paid for the palace out of his personal fortune and by means of extensive borrowing, rather than Bavarian public funds.  The city of Füssen gives a wonderful chance to enjoy three beautifuls castles: Füssen Castle, Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau. My sugestion is to enjoy a night or two in Füssen, so you will have enough time to enjoy your visit without stress. Füssen is a confortable city with good Hotels and Cafés, and it will give you a oppoutunity to walk around the castles feeling each step full of memories.     Shalom! Aleichem.

Wednsday, Sivan 23, 5779. June 26, 2019. Shalom! World. Bella Vida Café. Address: Nalostranské 563/3, Praha - Czech Republic. The history of the Bella Vida Café was started in 1892. At the first time, a new apartment building was built as part of a block of buildings in the Lesser Qaurter, according to the architectural and construction company Jechenthal & Hnevkrovsky. Successful entrepreneur Jindrich Jechental then gradually built five more houses. The Kampa Island itself is, however, much older. As early as the 10th century, the early medieval village of Ujezd began to form under the Petrin Hill near the Vltava River. In the middle of the 19th century, this romantic corner of the Malá Strana Industrial Revolution also hit. The building plots, especially those near the Vltava shores only connected the Charles Bridge. In 1839, however, the construction of a chain bridge was consecrated. The simple and primitive ferry was replaced by the second Pragu...

JACOB JR, MY JEWISH WORLD. HOHENSCHWANGAU CASTLE. SCHWANGAU/GERMANY.

Image
Sunday, Sivan 20, 5779. June 23, 2019. Shalom! World. Address: Schwangau - Germany. The history of Hohenschwangau Castle is well documented from the early time. It's known that the reference to the Schwangau Castle dates from the 12th century - and was home to the knights of Schwangau. However, over the centuries, the castle was badly damaged. In 1832 Crown Prince Maximilian (later King Max II) adquired the castle and rebuilt it as today's Hohenschwangau Castle, a duration of five years to complete. He and his Family used the Castle as a summer and hunting residence. After the death of King Maximilian II, his son Ludwig II designed the royal rooms on his terms. He also spent much time in Hohenschwangau Castle. The royal apartments, the gardens and the kitchen of the castle have been preserved and can be visited. Shalom! Aleichem.

At the end of the 19th century on the site of  today's Manufaktura, a  huge factory operated, the biggest in the Kalisz  and Mazowsze industrial area.  The tale about its power begins in 1835, when the Jewish Family of Kalman Poznanski moved from Aleksandrow Lodzki to  Lódz. Kalman, a Merchant, had a shop in the Old Town Sqaure, offering spices and goods sold by the cubit, he also built the first two-storey tenemment house there. Over a  dozen years later, he handed the family business over to his son, Izrael, who was very apt at seizing every opportunity given at the time by Lódz, wich was transforming from a sleepy little town into  a multi-cultural, European metropolis, vibrant with life. The new stage in the factory history came a...
