Cirilla dell'Antonio meeting with Gerhart Hauptmann

Cirillo dell'Antonio at work "on Hauptmann's"

was summer 1922, when the mayor of Jablonec, Mr. Dr. hc Karl R. Fischer, was on holiday in Teplice and one evening he took me with him to Gerhart Hauptmann. Fischer has recently helped the poet at the border, he was returning from a long trip through Europe and conceded just Jablonec the mayor, that expired in the passport, so that the fears of trouble at the border. Mayor Fischer packed Hauptmann to his company car at the border and spoke to Czech customs officer: "This is the greatest poet of our times, Gerhart Hauptmann, who returns from a few months traveling through Europe, during which time his passport expired, but please do not do it with this Because of the difficulties. " The border guard said, "I do not intend, and ask for an autograph," and suggested the poet - in the absence of any other paper - a form bill of lading, then you very much for an authorized signature thanked. "We drove up to the Prussian border guard so," he said Fischer. "Here I repeated the formula prior." - "It can not be! May be the greatest poet, but passport must be right! In any case it does not pass." - "So I called the office of President in Jagniątków and district governor in Jelenia Gora, after prolonged negotiations, we managed to pass, finished the story of Fischer.

When Hauptmann was told that I come from South Tyrol and I was born at the foot of Rosengarten ( Catinaccio - editor. crowd. ), after dinner, read extracts from "Blaue Blume" he wrote recently, during his stay in Gries near Bolzano ( today: the district of Bolzano - editor. crowd.) in the shade Catinaccio. That night I ventured to ask the poet, I wanted to pose for a bust, for the sake of my friend Fischer.

Ten years later, in summer 1932, Hauptmann called me and invited me to tea. I was asked for the glass of the site where the wax was a bust. "You know," said the poet, "is a bust of Benvenuto I made my son a few years ago, softened wax, all tilted and may tip over. How can I restore it to the vertical?". Measurements, I have made, commissioned the School of woodcarving in Teplice and support the implementation of the pedestal on which rested a wax sculpture - and everything was fine. This time, however, turned to Hauptmann, asking that I wanted to pose. "Now I'm too busy," he said. "But when I have time - I'll call you."

70-year old bust of 1932 Hauptmann .

Before Christmas 1932, the poet told me that now would be the time to pose. He would not sit, stood, saying that could become a lot more than sit. "You see? From my cold, cracked lips, it's too cold, so I can not walk on the court. But if I can not walk outside, I can not write well. All my songs were, after all 'wychodzone', ie: when I think of all the walks and composes in her head, and later at home pouring it on paper. And because of this cold I can not go, I have the time to pose for you. After Christmas I am going to Italy and there I will be able to work again. "

In January 1942, I posed the poet to another bust." Sculptures you learned in South Tyrol, right? It is there yet it is home to wood carvings, home of the whole art. And people are so pleasant. Often there would visit in the near Brixen and Gries Bolzano. "-" This is where you wrote 'Die Blaue Blume', doctor, "I said." I have to read it, I wonder what you wrote about my country. "-" It seems that the "Blaue Blume" came out in paperback also in the Reclam publishing house, the same as' Bahnwärter Thiel '(' Thiel Station Agent ') who, among all the editions Reclamu had - as they say - the best selling. "-" I think, "I said' that's very noble on the part of this publication that publishes such works at an affordable price, making a number of very wealthy fellow citizens have access to spiritual nourishment. " - "The truth is," he said. "Too seldom is it points out." "Sculptor Klimsch also modeled my bust, for many years to good friends, a great artist. You must see a bust by Klimscha in my archives at the bottom." We went down stairs and immediately threw me in the eyes of a plaster model of the monument by the sculptor Mommsen Schaper, compact in design and sophisticated in the attitude. "I deeply regret that this statue was not," said Hauptmann, "I think that Mommsen was well captured and presented. When the war is over I will have cast in bronze this model to keep this beautiful work for future generations. "bust sculpted by Klimscha was quite high but it was obvious that a great job and - although that was twenty years ago - still in his eyes cast a likeness." One is modeled a bust of the wife of Rainer Maria Rilke, a pupil of Rodin. Imagine, one day, Rilke wrote me that he wants to create a Rodin bust of me, I would go to Paris and sit there. Unfortunately, some difficulties arose, and this never happened. I regret also that it posed to Max Klinger, wanted to create my bust for my fiftieth birthday. To this end, he came from Paris to Leipzig. Unfortunately, I was so busy that I could not put up for meeting with him. Well, come to terms with this, but that was not unusual will work. "

When the bust was nearly finished, and I was carrying a large wooden spatula amendments, my model said with a smile:" It makes me great pleasure observing how you end such a big bust modeling tool. "-" Yes, my teacher taught me, "I said," require us to work large tools, because thanks to the work goes faster than using small tools, and the model itself is a vibrant and fresher. "-" This is good science, what you gave, just such advice is very important for the sculptor. When I modeled the bust, I worked with them only small tools. "In addition to the aforementioned bust of his son Benvenuto, showed me two more, which he modeled, and I said:" It is a pity, sir, that you could not ask for more rzeźbiarstwu ". -" Maybe the damage, "he replied," but I wanted a little more show off and prose and poetry.

And you can be happy pagan! Wenzel

Among the tens (if not hundreds) of events that will take place in the Jelenia Góra Valley and its immediate surroundings on 30 April - May 3, 2011, I would like to indicate two for me specific. note that for reasons of ideological turn off all the events associated with elevating the Roman Catholic church a very good man to the altar. Because even though he did not participate in the life of this (or any other) church, and - despite the many critical voices around the world about the beatification - I believe that such honoring John Paul II is the most reasonable (from the point of view of Christians and the church hierarchs as well as agnostics, non-aggressive, which I dare to be counted.)

Benn (1873-1964) - a ground glass artist

Another text translated from the honest "Wanderer Riesengebirge them, from the time a very niepoczciwych because in 1943 (March-April, No. 3 / 4). But not with politics, not world history, and certainly not from World War II is the story:

(Author: Heinrich Rohkam)

focal point of celebrations associated with the centenary of the existence of Huta Josephine in July 1942 was an exhibition showing the chronological development of the glass from Szklarska Poreba in the last century. It was visited by over 10,000 visitors, stopping in front of tables and sites, and most in this room, which exhibited the works of the masters of grinding. A particular interest was the work of a man who on Feb. 23 in Szklarska Poreba celebrated his 70th Birthday: Wenzel Benny. His wonderful creations hands above the works of his predecessors in the history of the manufacture of glass szklarskoporębiańskiego (Simon Fisher), in most cases could not be found worthy of their counterparts from earlier times. Behold, Wenzel Benn throughout his creative life was certainly not a follower, nor epigone, but an innovative artist. His unique artistry let evidenced by the fact that, although for almost all his professional life he was employed as an employee, it will never cease in their own artistic development. There was a lot more than just a glass cutters, was - despite arising from the employment restrictions - artist of the highest order.

[about his work and his work had already written "Wanderer ..." even in 1928 (p. 130 et seq.) At this point, so let him find a short outline of his life.]

Benn was born on February 23, 1873 in Stubenbach (Prášily) in the Bohemian Forest (Šumava) , in a region where the art of glass had a long tradition. An unusual talent rysowniczy child prompted his father to send him an apprenticeship to the engraver at the mill glass mirrors. Wenzel was then just 13 years. It was not an easy period for him: daily 12 hours spent on the machine engraving certainly doskwierały wątłemu boy. Despite this - every spare moment he spent on perfecting his technique cartoonist. Each design, what he saw, was the impetus for him to seek improvements. Inherited ability, which was endowed by his brother Albert (he was a painter), meant that science came easily to him. Already in last year of education has reached such high levels that, without the trouble he could dare to leave the homeland. He was looking for such work, which would allow him to further his talent. However, the first two positions - in Zawiercie near Warsaw and Schützendorf (Šicendorf) near Jihlava - proved to be failure and disappointment. Not only that, they gave him absolutely no chance of artistic development, so by the monotony of mass production meant that Benn lost his heart and to work, and the art of grinding. However, with his innate modesty - that remains to this day - he had no the courage to at such a young age to apply for a job in polishing workshops Nový Bor. The contemporary Haida was in fact the most famous resort szlifierstwa glass. But soon one of the mills Izera Benn landed a job that earned him a much more satisfying. U Umanna in Tiefenbach (Hluboká, Liberec) and in the Unterpolaun Riedel (Polubný) formed by the glass, which caused widespread interest and resulted in the most important artistic glass factory in Bohemia owned Harrach in Harrachov induced him to cooperate. At the age of just 20 years, took over in Harrachov job as manager of glass cutting.

the summer solstice in 1895, Benn joined the ranks of artists, working in Huta Josephine in Szklarska Poreba, which in the first half century of its existence, has gained worldwide reputation, and he gave a lot of leeway. And here, in Szklarska Poreba, his talent blossomed apparently, although the limitations of factory production did not allow a young man to devote only their own projects and ideas. This creative freedom starczyło jednak na tyle, by narodziły się te ważne dzieła, które do dziś ( tu tekst nie stracił na aktualności nawet w 2011 r. - przyp. tłum. ) podziwiane w muzeach i w prywatnych kolekcjach wywołują zachwyt wszystkich oglądających. Benna jednak i teraz nie czuł się spełniony: zbyt wielka była presja realizacji sztampowych zamówień klientów. Już przed ( pierwszą ) wojną światową doszedł do wniosku, że musi założyć własną pracownię, w której odpowiedzialny będzie wyłącznie przed sobą samym. Wojna uniemożliwiła urzeczywistnienie intention. Benn continued to work for others.

postwar turmoil did not avoid the development of glass and glass art, and Benn had to fight more for their artistic freedom. So if you do not want to lose this freedom completely, he could no longer serve his employer in its current form. It is time for a final separation from the plant, which has worked for over a quarter century, greatly contributing to its world-famous. He finished already fifty, and there was no time to lose, yet to realize the unfulfilled dream of his youth. Despite the economic risks of the economic situation in the then carried by professional self-empowerment, Benn created in Szklarska Poreba Upper own studio, which finally allowed him to live his own, loved art, without any influence by third parties and the requirements set by aiming for a quick sale of the factory. As it turned out - it was the right step: Benny Art Workshops, in which Wenzel Benn, and later his son, Edgar, create new art of grinding glass, while Helmut Benn made as a sculptor in wood, quickly became a center for crafts in Szklarska Poreba. Fulfilled most youthful dream of wearing a family of glass Šumava: Wenzel Benn became a free artist.

And although Weznel Benn was born in south-western mountains of the Czech Republic, a decent old age spent in the suburbs of Berlin, that's become the body and soul, a resident of the Giant Mountains ( and Izerskie - editor. crowd.). And as such he is considered today. He has this absolute right, because all of the most significant of his works were created here in the Mountains Giant Mountains; is among them and suffered with them a piece of ancient glass of the local tradition in the wide world. Mountain inspired his work, he saw the world thanks to her artistic image of the mountains, so they are part of the Giant creativity and should be proud of that: because it is Wenzel's most important contemporary artist Benn cut glass Silesian our homeland.

Letter For Someone Who Had A Baby

Former Karpacz, pharmacists settlement (the story of laborantach)

the rapidly translated one of the texts contained in the " Bunte Bilder aus dem Schlesierlande, Bd. 2 "(1903), p. 285 ff.

And since you probably nienajzgrabniej. I tried to keep (if possible) the" spirit "of language, which tried to give the author, B. Eberhard. Please note: The story was created at the turn of the century, hence the style a bit pretentious. But interestingly to read German, can also be captured by the following translation into Polish.

arpacz K, the hometown of Giant Mountain Spirit, through whose narrow, built-up streets of tourists hurried past flits only by venturing to Snow White, in a modest cottages 50 years ago pomieszkiwali most naturalists, and even then only rarely and for a brief time, has changed remarkably over the last two decades. The impressive location at the foot of Snow White, ornate, built in the Karkonosze-style villas along the highways and streets, on the slopes and forests, as well as existing and emerging facilities for public use, give the town character of a mountain summer resort of the highest order. The beloved Silesia, I think everyone knows this pearl of the Giant Mountains, though by name, by hearsay.

And when today's Karpacz famous as a resort for almost the entire world, that's also an old Karpacz enjoyed considerable fame. This poor mountain village in the XVII century was known far beyond the borders of our province as a village, "healers and herbalists, who have yet fifty years ago at numerous fairs selling their herbs, roots, powders, essences and wonderful. The apparently unfinished story of Benjamin Werner in 1799, whose content is the history of Silesia years 1622-1675, we find such a note here: "To jakiegoż corner of Germany has not already arrived here prepared medicines in sealed glass jars? At which the markets may fail to tiny, fragrant pudełeczek splendidly with zachwalającymi Karpacz labels and the world-famous inscription: 'This real powder stomach, pulled by the nose, strengthens the head, removes the bouts, etc...' Czyżeś never heard of coming from there Laborantach, from which children are buying sugar, rhubarb, and peasants - the elixir of the stomach? In Poland, the Czech Republic and throughout Germany, you can ask about medications to Karpacz. Is there a village elsewhere, in which the peasants be living rather than pharmacists - God only knows. "

with the local characteristics have not survived to this day too many traces. Once a "rural pharmacists" do not have today - as a resort - even the pharmacy, and any attempts to establish so far ended in failure. Is it not surprising that in Karpacz not remember the "good old days" when almost every home housed a pharmacy? Former glory rural pharmacists had to give way before the rapid development of the municipality resort, a bygone traditions slowly hides a shadow of oblivion, a lab job for a long time does not flourish in the country Krakonoš.

only vague memories and legends still speak of this source of income, which for almost two centuries, residents gave the bread Karpacz. While collecting medicinal herbs and roots and their sale in the lowlands were already in the seventeenth century-specific, while extremely profitable way of earning population of Karpacz, the preparation of medicinal potions from herbs developed until after about 1700. The best-known communications on the foundation of the guild lab cite both "Schlesische Ökonomische Nachrichten from the year 1774, and " Schlesische Provinzialblätter " of 1797. About one thousand, two medics siedemsetnego from the University of Prague, had to flee because of the duel, which had fought, they found shelter in a herbalist named Melchior Großmann. During the process of hiding there, taking names and Salomon Nicolaus and - as it turned out - to become the biggest benefactors of their hosts. Fugitives traveled in remote mountains and valleys, and quickly saw all the riches of nature, which have been endowed with the area. By studying botanical possess deep knowledge about the nature and uses of various herbs and roots, so in the hidden corners of the area discovered a rich source of income. Soon, because they began to apply their knowledge in practice, preparing a simple way of meeting a famous medicine herbs and spices. These in turn were placed in - through the so-called. "Korzenników ( Wurzelmänner ) - to the lowlands, to the" suffering population. " Over time, art preparation of medicinal potions from herbs, roots and learned from refugees and their hosts, and their work began to be called "laboranctwem. The messages indicate that the first lab students were Melchior Großmann Exner and Jonas, but it is not known how long it stayed in Karpacz prascy two fugitives. However, their local friends quickly realized, as income is trading undertaken by these gimmicks. It is not surprising that the fear competition, closely guarded secrets of his art, and "laboranctwo" believed to be a good family inherited. However, since the time the family grew, so the secret knowledge could soon become widely available knowledge, lab - on the advice medical district of Jelenia Gora Ludwig - founded closed characteristics. Characteristics that, like any such association, welcomed students, who after five years of study have passed an examination before the Royal Collegio medico. But as an educated independent laboratory worker received only after the death of another, a senior member of the guild, occupying one of the 30 seats, which is a guaranteed number of declared officially in 1740, the statutes of the guild. In addition, the state was required license to operate his own laboratory, and therefore had to apply to the proper administration of the " Concessio for the product Laboratory and sale of medicines, which are also permit.

control over these "half-Chemists" exercised Royal Medical College, and in later years - the county physician. Every year in the company of a pharmacist specifically controlled lab supplies. Self Collegium medico and allocates detail what medications can produce lab, initially it was 46 Feature. Under pressure from the pharmacists, the power of the Supreme Government Ordinance of 30 September 1843, limits the number of preparations from 45 to 21 All medications sold were marked with labels with highly samochwalczymi descriptions. And so, the inscription on the immensely popular "herb for cleansing the lungs and blood," he preached, among others. "Relieved not only for its beautiful herbs, but specibus action, and because of the effects is recommended especially for melancholy, gout, diseases of the lungs and airways and scurvy. "

Medication was prepared from roots and herbs, which they bought in korzenników lab. They used the mineral substances, and even products imported from abroad, which provide them with kowarscy merchants or drogerzyści Wroclaw, the most common impurity was powdered deer horn.

dwellings lab did not differ externally from other rural houses, but their interior testified about the unusual occupation of the owners, were generally more spacious and comfortable and betrayed above-average education. Before each laboranckich houses was a small, well-kept garden, which grew luxuriantly rare alpine plants and other medicinal herbs: angelica Litwor, lovage, Gorysz miarz, Valerian (Commonly known as valerian), wszewłoga mountain and Oman. In attics and lofts herbs and roots were drying up, would then sit in special herbal pantries. Preparation of herbs that are held in a similar to gazebos przybudówkach laboratory where the apparatus has to prepare the extracts, distillation and filtration. Prepared medications stored in a residential room: it was here in the dense rows of colorfully painted shelves and cupboards, solid glass bottles, vials, jars and bottles of various shapes and sizes, cans and boxes adorned - all meticulously described.

lab work was purely mechanical: having no extensive knowledge of chemistry, "synthesized" as inherited from the ancestors of formulas and rules. Despite the ban were entering raw Niwa also reserved for doctors: as manufactured medicines, felt that they also have the right to apply, the patients were of the opinion that anyone who produces a cure must be smarter than that prescribed them only. Undoubtedly lab distinguished among other rural residents to its general education, and therefore enjoyed considerable respect. And although his art grew, relying exclusively on practical experience, that's willing to learn what might help them in carrying out their trade. Mainly studied Latin, so their expert knowledge of names of plants and roots, as well as medicines made from them. Yes, Latin certainly considered it an important part of his art, hence it is given to science in particular, employing as teachers of former theologians. Out of respect for grown art lab and the students had to learn Latin, receiving his masters from the detailed instructions in using this language. Besides lab very often benefited from the knowledge of Latin, satisfying his considerable vanity. So called " laborantami ", not manufactured, but " laborowali " their " liquores " and "Aquas " to extract from the " tea" and " radices ," and his " speciebus "deliver all sorts of" dolores . "

The fairs of Silesia lab meetings could be selling their drops and powders in a publicly accessible stalls. With this in such a way that markets were divided among themselves, before the death of one - another is not sold in the same market its products. In Silesia, they can be found at fairs in Wroclaw, Zabkowice Sl. Reichenbach, Swidnica, Opole, Nysa, Legnica, Boleslawiec and many others. Due to the low price of medications such as "Karpaczańskich Drop," "Tea for cleansing the lungs and blood" were many clients with so in the short term lab achieved a significant prosperity. However, since the owners of conventional pharmacies lose by "those pigularzy and quacks' earnings, and this seriously, they decided to stifle competition. With their initiative, already in 1809 prohibited Laborantom doorstep medications, since they had access only to the markets in the Lower Silesia. Later restrictions were tightened even further, and by order of April 21, 1819, they were allowed to trade exclusively on the fair in those cities where the doctor had established district. Government Order of 30 September 1843 The lab turned out to be the nail in the coffin: stopped issuing new licenses, and the rest have six Laborantom concessions had to be withdrawn with immediate effect. However, after the intercession of the Countess von Reden Bukowiec ( how great it was a wonderful, generous woman, this Mrs - editor. Crowd. ) allowed six of them still active Laborantom cultivate his art until his death.

In this way, the famous ice lab Guild came to an end, it was this time when this great tradition of flower Karkonosze had irreversibly fade after 150 years to help ailing people. March 28, 1884, passed away the last of the lab, EA Zölfel, taking all knowledge to the grave laborancką; so-called "ordinary people" sincerely mourned his death.

not the place to decide whether the medical-scientific point of view, lab was useful, it is certain, however, that the lab no doubt greatly contributed to the fame and cultural development of Karpacz.

recommend also exquisitely written text of the blog laborantach " tale like a bear." It is also buried in the network and find lyrics Przemek Wiater, who wrote a lot about Laborantach.

Carla U of Monographs

"You?" After the official part, we're going to my house! " - With these words tempt me a few days ago Przemek Wiater. "Monograph Szklarska Poreba (vide here ) was officially unveiled yesterday in the House of Carl (and Gerhart) Hauptmann in Szklarska Poreba. A good hundred people (mostly szklarskoporębian) vlastimilowej sat in the hall of the museum. And when his story about the emergence of the monograph Przemek ended when it completed Ivo - began: "... Because I am here I have pictures from the 60s, perhaps would be useful," "Gentlemen, if they wrote about high school I used to go in the sixties?", "Why do not you write o. .." STOP! Let me quote here a fragment of the "Preface": " authors are aware of the shortcomings of the monograph, which in part result from the lack, or substantially more difficult access to sources of a wide range of historical and thematic [...] ." Remember, after all, that for eight centuries of the town known today, "Szklarska Poreba," no one has taken it upon himself to systematize its history in such form as did the authors. Yes, both "a German" and "as a Pole," appeared in the occasional minor historical texts describing the small, selected excerpts from the past Szklarska Poreba. However, before Ivo and Przemek were challenged, which - as they admit - in fact imposed by various conditions, has been a lot harder than we assumed.

long time since the house where Carl Hauptmann made in which his younger brother Gerhart wrote, "Weavers," not just engaged the audience stayed. Because this about their city, their "Little Homeland" the authors wrote, "Monographs". And be merry heart and soul when he sees how much of today Szklarskoporębianie engage in the history of this unique place on Earth.

Drifts and flowers: pyrite and crocuses

In a few people at the company released a blurred, but steamy, the first Saturday of the April 2011 on the western edge of High Ridge, the area of \u200b\u200brogue rocks, pyrite mine tunnel, turn the Death on the Road and the Sudetic toward Rezerwatowi "Crocuses" on the slopes falling out of a turn toward the valley of the Little Stone.

Walking route, that's, Saturday's excursion tours on the Start-up before the season wandering. And here's the first big surprise met us in these tunnels, surprise and beauty of winter. Anyway, let the pictures speak.

Are not those wonderful ice formations, some alive, like a former miners, and perhaps loved by Przemyslaw Wiater Walloons ...? It was he who in his "Walloon book he wrote:

that occurs in the Black Ridge Mountains, Jizera pyrite, iron sulfide polymorphs, resembled the noblest of metals, for which he was the former called fools gold. The discovery of pyrite deposits have probably Walloon gold seekers, minerals and precious stones from the nearby Old Village Glass.

first documented information on the extraction of larger amounts of pyrite hornfels okruszcowanych from the mine located on High Ridge Izerski above rogue rocks, derived from 1530 to the location of the mines has helped to identify mineralogical Walloon and the small distance from the village, holding the glass by a former steel mills, industrial traditions. In 1545, were designed to build a new mine, which was established about 1550, in 1553, is mentioned witriolejnia great effort cost the owner founded - label of different acids, mainly sulfuric acid, made from processed local pyrites. At the end of the sixteenth century in the mine on the slopes of the High Ridge 60 miners were employed. During the Thirty Years War and pyrite mine witriolejnia stop working.

The excavation can be read even here :

Without a doubt one of the most interesting relics of the mining industry in Poland! Object of considerable size, consisting of several excavations, which were once, like the above-described groove, formed a single, large pyrite mine. Because the sidewalks, and mining chamber drążono very near the surface, there was a sizeable obrywu ceiling in the central part of the mine. The most interesting part of this team is a huge chamber excavation mining in the western parts have been excavated in a powerful vein pirytonośnej. Its layout resembles a big gap on the 40m long, 10m wide and and the 9m high at the entrance, gradually wyklinowującą to about 1.5 m and 1m wide in the final batch. We wowed the rock bridge, left by the miners in the middle of the chamber, which was to prevent the tightening up of the excavation. A similar role of horizontal wooden stamps. On the left side of the entrance walkway dug several meters in length survey (1.0 x 1.5 m).

The tunnels have spent a lot of time because I regretted having to keep up with them: for several days after the ice tumors did not remain even a trace, no, may be some sizeable puddles at the bottom of the pit ...

And the flowers? Well, after another several minutes łazęgi reached with difficulty to the Reserve. Crocus - and yes - they were, in an amount of maybe 20 pieces. At least the ones that glowed longer beautiful flowers. But the reserve could not cover the impression they made on us pyrites tunnels.
