Rare motif adorns mary's portrait in the bucher chapel

The image of the virgin mary in the buch chapel dates from 1673 and was completely restored during the renovation of the chapel. The result was presented to the public at the inauguration of the renovated church.
This is a very common presentation of the game. It shows mary with the infant jesus holding a goldfinch, a symbol of passion.

Two coats of arms in the picture

The model for the painting in buch is albrecht altdorfer’s woodcut from 1519, which in turn is based on an image of grace from the old chapel in regensburg. On the painting in the marienkapelle in buch there are also two coats of arms in the lower left corner. In the case of the left red coat of arms, the family can unfortunately no longer be determined from the coat of arms. The coat of arms on the right is clearly the coat of arms of the graf schenk von stauffenberg family. The letters below refer to catharina sophia eyb, grafin schenkin von stauffenberg, who was the sister of bamberger furstbischoff marquard sebastian schenk von stauffenberg. The left coat of arms is therefore probably the coat of arms of the von eyb family. How the picture, whose frame is clearly younger (about 1750/60), came to buch is currently still being investigated. The painter has also yet to be identified.


Flying cars and covered roofs: how to protect my property from tornadoes

First it hit viersen in north rhine-westphalia, then gieben in hesse. Tornadoes are not only in america – in germany, too, there is a growing fear of the dangerous air vortex that rips the roofs off houses, lifts cars into the air and sends people into a panic. Especially in times when the weather warnings of the german weather service pile up, the question arises: if upper franconia is hit by a tornado, how do I behave correctly and how do I protect my house??

Can tornadoes be predicted?

"It's meteorologically impossible over long periods of time because tornadoes are very small-scale and short-lived.", explains andreas friedrich, tornado officer of the german meteorological service (DWD). "We can't detect tornadoes with weather radar or satellites." However, a risk potential for up to 36 hours could be identified in advance. However, this only means: there is an increased tendency for tornadoes to occur in a region, and then these are roughly areas of entire federal states or parts of flat states.

Brose bamberg still in a bad way

Brose bamberg still in a bad way

The brose basketball team from bamberg missed a good chance to establish themselves in the top group of the very evenly matched champions league group C. In the first five minutes of the final quarter, hapoel jerusalem’s star ensemble, which was by no means overpowering, took advantage of bamberg’s inadequacies in defense, turned the tide with a 16:3 run, cleverly saved the narrow lead over time and celebrated the 88:85 (41:43) victory.

Tyrese rice, who did not have his best day (21 percent from the field) and often got bogged down in individual actions, was able to force an extension 1.3 seconds before the end: the ball danced around on the ring after his distance shot from almost ten meters, but did not fall into the basket.

The “weibe rossl” at the bamberger theater: the pure lust for kitsch and cliche

Operetta or singspiel in the spoken theater, which often takes place by guest performance, because the own actors can sing, but are no professionals. But if you listen to such fresh singing as that of stefan herrmann, then you will be happy about the unused vocal virtues.

The wurzburger played the leading role in the production of the classic "im weiben rossl" at the bamberger e.T.A.-hoffmann theater, which had its premiere on saturday in the version by the pfister siblings and was largely ventured with the company’s own ensemble. And won!
