International Museum Day: Until the far corner – Tagesspiegel

Every day of the year is any day has some dedication is provided with any remembrance or thoughts or action. This Sunday there are the museums at issue. Because today is the International Museum Day. The Museale is deeply rooted in German culture. Museums are everywhere in the country, even in the countryside there are many largly. 6400 Museums and museum-like exhibition space there is in Germany. If one were to visit every weekend four of them, it would take about 30 years – in theory it is therefore feasible, albeit exhausting to see in an average adult life all

You then would sometimes after Graupa, for example.. The village is located south-east of Dresden and is divided into upper, lower and Neugraupa. The local museum is dedicated to Richard Wagner, founded in 1907, the world’s first for the Saxon composer who long lived for a time in Graupa and “Lohengrin” wrote. There the Museum Day is this Sunday inaugurated because the patronage alternates annually with the Federal Presidency, and currently has the Saxon Prime Minister Stanislaw Tillich (CDU) hold.

in Germany culture is something very de Federal

the German Museums Association, standing behind the Museum Day, has therefore be kept in mind that culture in Germany is something very de federal. Countries (and municipalities) who mainly focus (only in Berlin mixes the collar a little stronger with). Their cultural sovereignty, ungegängelt by any central instance as in other states, contributes to the fact that Germany has a very rich cultural, fine extensions to the provinces and Provinzchen, including up to Graupa.

The keynote speaker is on this Sunday aptly historian Johannes Burkhardt, a native of the more manageable Riege history professors who do not follow the Federal in German history for an accident, a national mishap, an issue for political scientists or amateur British colleagues. From Burkhardt comes the mnemonic, the political core competence of German history was their federalism ability.

That there are so many museums, opera houses and Regional Orchestra, is for him a power of the centuries-old federalism. Sectionalism has just something for themselves. What, according to Burkhardt already knew Wagner, who had the centralist ambitions of the 19th century relied on the question of what then would become of the German residence theaters. No wonder, Wagner has made his experience and his career off the German cultural metropolis Vienna and Berlin, in Erfurt, Würzburg, Dresden, Bayreuth. Burkhardt, also a connoisseur of the composer (his few years ago published book is entitled “The Rhine is the same. Richard Wagner’s real worlds”), once counted that it was covered by the erratic, as it were abundant federal resume the composer about 40 Wagner memorial in Germany are. Taking the rescued former residence theater added, where at least occasionally Wagner operas are performed, there are at least as many again.
