Bad Langensalza zeigt sich als ausgeprauml;gte Kur- und Rosenstadt mit einem besonderen mittelalterlichen Aussehen. Die historische Stadtmauer mit 17 erhaltenen Tuuml;rmen prauml;gen das Stadtbild. Neben den zahlreichen beeindruckenden Fachwerkhauml;usern finden wir in der ganzen Stadt Tuuml;rme und Portale aus dem heimischen Travertin. Neun thematische Gauml;rten umsauml;umen den Stadtkern und sorgen fuuml;r einen einmaligen gruuml;nen Guuml;rtel. Ein beeindruckendes Wassersystem; ausgehend vom Namensgeber - dem Fluuml;sschen Salza - lauml;sst die ehemalige Stadt der Muuml;hlen wieder in Erinnerung bringen. Nahe Bad Langensalza befindet sich der Nationalpark Hainich mit seinen zahlreichen Wanderwegen und dem einmaligen Baumkronenpfad an der Thiemsburg. 932 wurde Langensalza erstmalig urkundlich als bdquo;Salzaha" erwauml;hnt. Mit der Entdeckung der Schwefelquellen 1811 begann der Weg zur Kurstadt. Ab 1956 durfte sich die Stadt bdquo;Bad" Langensalza nennen. Neben dem ersten Badehaus 1812; einem Kurmittelhaus 1928; erouml;ffnete 1998 die Rehaklinik bdquo;An der Salza" und 1999 die Friederiken Therme. Seit 2002 kann sich Bad Langensalza Rosenstadt nennen und drei Jahre spauml;ter erhielt die Stadt das Prauml;dikat Schwefel-Sole-Heilbad. 2011 gewinnt Bad Langensalza die Goldmedaille im internationalen Wettbewerb "Entente Florale Europe"

Here is the outlay of the seven principles or lamps of great architecture as an art form.By Baregil de GomçesvalA veritable tour the force of scope and insight.Indispensable background nowadays regretfully almost forgotten.1- Sacrifice – Dedication of mans craft to God. as visible proofs of mans love and obedience2- Truth – Handcrafted and honest display of materials and structure. Truth to materials and honest display of construction were bywords since the serious Gothic Revival had distanced itself from the whimsical "Gothic" of the 18th century; it had been often elaborated by Pugin and others.3- Power – Buildings should be thought of in terms of their massing and reach towards the sublimity of nature by the action of the human mind upon them and the organization of physical effort in constructing buildings.4- Beauty – Aspiration towards God expressed in ornamentation drawn from nature. his creation5- Life – Buildings should be made by human hands. so that the joy of masons and stone carvers is associated with the expressive freedom given them6- Memory – Buildings should respect the culture from which they have developed7- Obedience – Obedience to the spirit. values and cannons of and art tradition which is expert. truthful. fertile and honest. No originality for its own sake. but conforming to the finest among existing English values. in particular expressed through the "English Early Decorated" Gothic as the safest choice of style.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Words of the PastBy yonderThe Seven Lamps of ArchitectureThe Seven Lamps of Architecture. written by John Ruskin on a series of lectures use in his lectures. The book is an epic because of its historical accounts of information given to architects in the past and continues to now and in the future. His use of the English language is superb. where the reader is lost in the beautiful words and the excellent techincal material.He emphasizes the points of good design that is dependent on a series of seven factors. He also gives example of buildings that are under discussion. the plates are not in the Kindle edition therefore the book must be bought otherwise the reader has to keep googling in order to find his examples. The examples are explained in detail.The first few pages are slightly boring. but like all good books he dives into the subject and never let up. drowning the reader is good information.SPRGreat Architecture Of The WorldBrunelleschis Dome: How a Renaissance Genius Reinvented ArchitectureThe Picture History of Great BuildingsMathematical Excursions to the Worlds Great Buildings0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
