24 Februarie 2010: Frankfurt na Wurzburg: Die voetspore van die Breytenbachs | Ontmoet
Vandag het ons ure lank die stad Wurzburg deurkruis en gehoop dat iewers darem ons voetval sal kruis met die van die stamvaders van die Suid-Afrikaanse Breytenbachs. home shopping channel Dit is ‘n ongelooflike mooi stad op die oewers van die Main Rivier home shopping channel wat later in die Ryn vloei.
“By 1000 BC a Celtic fortification stood on the site of the present Fortress Marienberg. It was Christianized in 686 by Irish missionaries Kilian, Colman and Totnan. The city is first mentioned home shopping channel as Vurteburch in 704. The first diocese was founded by Saint Boniface in 742. He appointed the first bishop of Würzburg, Saint Burkhard. The bishops eventually created a duchy with its center in the city, which extended home shopping channel in the 12th century to Eastern Franconia. The city was the seat of several Imperial diets, including the one of 1180, in which Henry the Lion was banned from the Empire and his duchy was handed over to Otto of Wittelsbach.
The first church on the site of the present Würzburg Cathedral was built as early as 788, and consecrated that same year by Charlemagne; the current building was constructed from 1040 to 1225 in Romanesque style. The University of Würzburg was founded in 1402 and re-founded in 1582.
The citizens of the city revolted several times against the prince-bishop, until definitively defeated in 1400. Later, Würzburg was a center of the German Peasants’ War; the castle was besieged unsuccessfully. Notable prince-bishops include Julius Echter von Mespelbrunn (1573 1617) and members of the Schönborn family, who commissioned a great number of the monuments of today’s city. In 1631, Swedish King Gustavus Adolphus invaded the town and destroyed the castle.
In 1720, the foundations of the Würzburg Residence were laid. The city passed to the Electorate of Bavaria in 1803, but two years later, in the course of the Napoleonic Wars, it became the seat of the Electorate of Würzburg, the later Grand Duchy of Würzburg. In 1814, the town became part of the Kingdom of Bavaria and a new bishopric was created seven years later, home shopping channel as the former one had been secularized in 1803.
During World War II, on March 16, 1945, about 90% of the city was destroyed by some 225 Lancaster bombers in 17 minutes by a British air raid. Most of the city’s churches, cathedrals, and other monuments home shopping channel did not survive, while the city center, dating from medieval times, was totally destroyed in a firestorm in which some 5,000 people perished. During the next 20 years, the buildings of historical importance were painstakingly and accurately replicated. The citizens who rebuilt the city immediately home shopping channel after the end of the war were mostly women (Trümmerfrauen = rubblewomen), since men were either dead or taken prisoners of war. Relatively, Würzburg was destroyed more completely than was Dresden in a firebombing the previous home shopping channel month.
After the war, Würzburg was host to the U.S. Army’s 3rd Infantry Division, 1st Infantry home shopping channel Division, U.S. Army Hospital and various other U.S. military units that maintained a presence in Germany. The U.S. units were withdrawn from Würzburg in 2008, bringing an end to over 60 years of U.S. military presence in Würzburg that had been greatly beneficial to the local economy.”
