‎* Erika Westhäuser, 1933 in Ließau bei Danzig geboren, ist heute als freischaffende Autorin tätig. Schon in frühen Jahren führte ihre Volksschullehrerin sie zum Schreiben. Ihr Talent zu Geschichten und Märchen förderte Karl-Heinz May aus Sachsenbrunn, Leiter des Zirkels ?Schreibende Arbeiter? des Zeiss-Werkes in Eisfeld. Gespräche über die leisen Töne im Leben, mit dem Grafikerehepaar Gitta und Gerhard Kettner aus Dresden, begleiteten ihre Arbeiten in den frühen Anfängen.

Ihre ersten Veröffentlichungen, 1980, in Zeitungen und Zeitschriften, folgte 1998 die wichtigsten, der erste Band der Märchentrilogie, Märchen aus den Hopaländern ? ?Das Ungeheuer der Hopaländer? und Band zwei ?Der mächtige Zauberer Abrathor?. Veröffentlichungen ihrer Gedichte in Anthologien und der örtlichen Presse unterstreichen ihr literarisches Talent.

‎Gutes Exemplar; Umschlag stw. gering berieben. - Hanns Eisler (geb. 6. Juli 1898 in Leipzig als Johannes Eisler; gest. 6. September 1962 in Ost-Berlin) war ein österreichischer Komponist, der neben seinen musikalischen Werken eine Reihe musiktheoretischer und einflussreicher politischer Schriften, aber auch ein Libretto hinterlassen hat. Eisler gilt neben Alban Berg und Anton Webern als einer der später bekannteren Schüler Arnold Schönbergs und wird - trotz zeitweiliger inhaltlicher Differenzen zu seinem Lehrer - der Zweiten Wiener Schule zugerechnet. Er war politisch und künstlerisch gesehen der engste Weggefährte des Dramatikers und Lyrikers Bertolt Brecht, mit dem er von Ende der 1920er Jahre bis zu dessen Tod persönlich und musikalisch verbunden war. Einige seiner bekanntesten Werke hat er gemeinsam mit Brecht geschaffen. ?

‎* Albert Eitel (* 29. Januar 1866 in Stuttgart; ? 25. August 1934 ebenda) war ein deutscher Architekt, der dem Historismus und der Reformarchitektur zugerechnet wird. Die überwiegende Zahl der ca. 100 von ihm (teilweise zusammen mit Eugen Steigleder) erbauten Gebäude befindet sich in Stuttgart und Umgebung. Der größte Teil ist bis heute erhalten und steht teilweise unter Denkmalschutz. Eitel wurde in der Münzstraße 5 in Stuttgart geboren, wo seine Eltern zur Miete wohnten. Sein Vater Emil Eitel (1840?1938) war Sohn eines Bäckers und Enkel eines Rotgerbers und arbeitete sich vom Galanteriewarenarbeiter zum Ledergalanteriewarenhändler (1867?1868) und schließlich zum Portefeuillefabrikanten hoch (1868?1890). Die Galanteriewarenherstellung war sehr einträglich und machte Emil Eitel zu einem reichen Mann. Neben wechselnden Villen, die er von renommierten Architekten und ab 1898 von seinem Sohn erbauen ließ, besaß er zwei große Geschäftshäuser in bester Innenstadtlage. Die letzten 48 Jahre seines Lebens verbrachte er als Privatier und handelte mit Grundstücken und Immobilien. Er starb vier Jahre nach seinem Sohn Albert mit fast 98 Jahren. Eitels Mutter Charlotte Eitel geb. Trost (1842?1917) stammte aus einer Stuttgarter Weingärtnerfamilie. Sie gebar 11 Kinder, von denen drei nicht den ersten Geburtstag erlebten. Albert wurde als zweites Kind geboren. Seine beiden jüngeren Schwestern verheirateten sich mit Kaufleuten. Alberts fünf Brüder wanderten ab 1890 einer nach dem anderen nach Chicago aus. Emil Eitel jun., Karl, Robert und Max Eitel betätigten sich dort als Hotel- und Gastronomie-Unternehmer, und Otto Eitel machte sich einen Namen als Landschaftsgärtner. Zu den ?amerikanischen? Brüdern siehe: Eitel (Brüder). Eitels Frau Elisabeth.Dank der Wohlhabenheit seines Vaters kam Albert Eitel in den Genuss einer gediegenen Ausbildung. Er absolvierte seine Studien an der Technischen Hochschule Stuttgart sowie in Düsseldorf und Dresden. Danach war er Mitarbeiter in dem Architekturbüro Schilling & Graebner in Dresden und bei Alfred Messel in Berlin. 1896 reiste er nach Chicago, wo er bei seinen Brüdern unterkam, und arbeitete in dem renommierten Architekturbüro D. H. Burnham and Company, damals das größte Architekturbüro in Chicago. Spätestens 1899 kehrte er nach Stuttgart zurück. Am 20. März 1902 heiratete Eitel die um sechs Jahre jüngere Elisabeth Hoffmann (1872?1961), eine Tochter des Stuttgarter Verlegers Julius Hoffmann (1833?1904). Die Hochzeitsreise führte das Ehepaar nach Italien. Die Familie wohnte (außer um 1920) nacheinander in drei Häusern, die Albert Eitel nach eigenen Entwürfen und auf eigene Rechnung erbaute. Aus der Ehe gingen zwei Kinder hervor. Lore Eitel (1903?1984) wurde Keramikerin und blieb unverheiratet. Hans Eitel (* 9. Juli 1906 in Stuttgart; ? 15. Juli 1991 Sigmarszell) wurde ebenfalls Architekt und arbeitete mit seinem Vater in dessen beiden letzten Lebensjahren zusammen, danach als freier Architekt in Stuttgart. 1964 zog er nach Sigmarszell und setzte sich dort zur Ruhe. Im Jahr 1899 begann Albert Eitel in Stuttgart seine Arbeit als freier Architekt. Bis zu seinem Tod 1934 baute er allein oder zusammen mit Eugen Steigleder, zuletzt auch mit seinem Sohn Hans über 100 Stadtvillen, Wohn-, Miet- und Siedlungshäuser, öffentliche Bauten und Geschäftshäuser, meist in Stuttgart und Umgebung. In dieser Zahl sind nur die Gebäude enthalten, die in Büchern und Zeitschriften Erwähnung fanden. Sein Haupttätigkeitsfeld war der Bau von Wohnhäusern und Villen (über 70 Gebäude und Siedlungen). Von den erhaltenen Gebäuden sind mindestens 40 in der Liste der Kulturdenkmale eingetragen. Nach Dietrich W. Schmidt oszillierten Eitels Architekturauffassungen ?in der Zeit des Stilpluralismus vor dem 1. Weltkrieg zwischen Historismus, Jugendstil und Neoklassizismus, während sie in der frühen Weimarer Republik von Heimatstil, Protorationalismus und Expressionismus gekennzeichnet sind (Quelle Wikipedia)‎

Türkiye Cumhuriyeti kültür tarihinden birkaç yaprak. 1000 copies were printed. Memoirs of Ekrem Akurgal, (1911-2002). He was a Turkish archaeologist. During a career that spanned more than fifty years, he conducted definitive research in several sites along the western coast of Anatolia such as Phokaia (Foça), Pitane (Çandarli), Erythrai (Ildiri) and old Smyrna (Bayrakli höyük, the original site of the city of Smyrna before the city's move to another spot across the Gulf of Izmir). He was born on March 30, 1911 in the town of Tulkarm in the Beirut Vilayet of the Ottoman Empire (today a Palestinian city in the West Bank), where his mother's family owned a large farm. He descended from a family of Ottoman intellectuals and religious men, several of whose members had assumed the office of mufti, the highest title of the Islamic clergy in a given region, for the Ottoman province of Herzegovina. His family moved back to Istanbul when he was two years old. For some time, they resided in another family farm, this time near Akyazi. He received his first education from his father's sister and her husband, who taught literature in Darülfünun (Istanbul University today). Akurgal graduated in 1931 from Istanbul High School for Boys and, having earned a state scholarship, went to the University of Berlin in Germany to study archaeology. In a Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung made in 1990, the interviewer was to remark that, now and then, his German was still unmistakably tainted with Berlinerisch. In 1957, he became a professor in University of Ankara. He worked mainly in the Aegean Region, starting the researches on Phokaia (Foça), Pitane (Çandarli), Erythrai (Ildiri) and old Smyrna (Bayrakli tumulus). He published numerous books on ancient Greek, Hittite and other ancient civilizations of Anatolia. Settled in Izmir since the seventies to pursue his work on the nearby sites with more effectiveness, Akurgal died on November 1, 2002 in Izmir. His work and legacy is being carried on by his wife, Meral Akurgal, an accomplished archaeologist herself and his closest assistant in his lifetime.‎

‎ELDER JAMES MILTON OLSEN‎

‎1918 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY DETAILING THE LAST FEW WEEKS OF HIS MORMON MISSION WORK IN NEW ZEALAND AND THE TRIP HOME‎

‎THAMES NEW ZEALAND SALT LAKE CITY UTAH. Good. 1918. On offer is the super original 1918 manuscript diary and travel journal handwritten by a young 25 year old Mormon missionary named James Milton Olsen b. January 20 1893 who after three years of Christian outreach and preaching the Gospel of Mormon in Thames New Zealand to the Maoris the indigenous people of New Zealand returns to America. The son of Utah rancher George Theodore Olsen and Catherine Maria Edwards Olsen. He married Hazel Acord on March 5th 1919. Beginning April 15 1918 James' is at the end of his 3 year mission and heading back to the United States. The 43 page narrative begins with Elder Olsen in New Zealand spending his last weeks attending meetings saying goodbyes and packing for his trip home. He spends much of the time with the President of the New Zealand Missions Elder James N. Lambert. BIO NOTES: President Lambert: "Elder James N. Lambert former president of the New Zealand mission returned July 3rd 1920 after nearly 51 months of missionary work in that far-off land. While there he published in the Maori language the second edition of the Book of Mormon 3000 copies." 1920 Improvement Era official magazine of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Goodbyes said Elder Olsen boards a train for Auckland spends a few days there and then boards the SS Niagara for the trip home. Here are some snippets: "On board ship were the Premiers of Australia The Rt. Hon. Mr. Massy of New Zealand and to this Mr. Massy I had a letter of introduction. Then there were other big men such as Sir Joseph Ward one Prime Minister of N.Z. the Sect of the Navy of Australia and several French Generals. So we had a Whakahihi crowd." Sir Walter Massy-Greene major politician and entrepreneur; Joseph Ward 17th Prime Minister of New Zealand; George L. Macandie Australia's Secretary of the Navy. "April 17th 1918….At 12 o'clock we ate dinner with Billman's and at 1 o'clock I had my photo taken with Howard Johnson. At 2 o'clock we called in at Parne Thorn's pawn shop and had a good conversation then caught the train and rode 12 miles to Omahu. Arriving there we walked 2 or 3 miles and met all the natives and latter all the elders rode in from Kerikeri. In the evening they gave us a lovely dinner and at 7 o'clock began the meeting. Elder Russon and I were called on to speak to give our farewell talk. Elder Mow interpreted for me. After we had finished the Maoris talked to us telling their sincere love for the Elder's and biding us goodbye. We went to bed late." "April 18th 1918. It was raining all day so we remained at Omahu until 4 o'clock. We played the phonograph read the Improvement Era and jumped until we were very stiff and sore. In the afternoon train time I had to bid them all goodbye. I rubbed noses with nearly 15 natives and I bid good luck to Elders Mow and Moody. We were driven to the train in a two wheeled cart by a native….I cleaned up and wrote up my diary preparing to meet Elder Wright who is supposed to arrive today by the 1 o'clock boat. His is taking my place. At one o'clock we walked to the boat and waiting until 1:30 for it to arrive at the wharf. Elder Wright came. We all strolled back to Sister Johnston's home. I gave him possession of the bed which I had been sleeping in for two years also the wardrobe which I had been in possession of. In the afternoon we visited the chapel. He found it to be much smaller than the one in Auckland. In fact it used to be the mayor's barn." "April 20 1918. I slept with Howard Johnston didn't get up until 7:30. Washed and wrote diary. Elder Wright and I caught the 9:30 train and took two boys to Kerikeri where I baptized them. The water was very cold so early in the morning but managed and the boys fared all right. There were several elders so it was a nice service. After that I went around to all the natives and rubbed noses with them all biding them farewell. One old lady gave me a kit Clara Watene's mother. We bought several pictures of the last conference from Bro. Spencer of Auckland then caught the train and rode back to Thames….In the evening Pres. Lambert came from Auckland. We were all happy to see him. He always brings a happy spirit. We ate dinner at Sister Johnston's. At 7:30 we held a good open air service. I did not assist in singing as my throat was too bad. I stood on the corner however. Elder's Mow Wright and the president talked…." "April 23rd 1918. I ate breakfast at Payne's then came home and destroyed all my letters with the exception of a very few. I also tied strings around all my books and prepared them for packing. In the afternoon Elder's Wright Stalling and I visited the hospital where I bid goodbye to Mrs. Rutallia whom I had been visiting for 2 years. The poor soul had lain there for over 14 years. From the hospital we went to the police station. Elder Moody was with us. I bid him goodbye also. He had been a very good companion and helpmate…." "April 24 1918. I ate breakfast at Royal's then came to the house and began packing up. If ever I had to plan it was then to get all my belongings in my suit cases and trunk then I had to give away many things. But finally everything was packed. I had one trunk weighing 200 lbs. 2 suitcases one hand bag and a roll of blankets…." He attends a social and then for the final time he meets many of his good friends and bids them goodbye and many of them give him gifts which he lists. Then he says "After the social it was with difficulty that I bid most of them goodbye." "April 25th 1918. Went to Monteque's Lemmee's and others bidding them goodbye then went to the station where several of the saints and friends were there to see me off. It was hard to say farewell as one never can tell when friends will meet again especially those of a foreign country. It was hardest of all to say goodbye to Bro. Payne as he had been my heartiest supporter. Elder Russon and I left at 9:30 Sister Payne Johnston and Wasene rode with us as far as Parekura then we bid them farewell. We rode on to Auckland getting there at 5 o'clock P.M. We had a cater take our things to headquarters costing us 2 shillings each. In the evening after a lovely supper we went in company with President and the Auckland Elders and the President's daughter Phyllis to a cottage meeting at Mrs. Trae Farland's. Four of us were called on to speak." "April 26th 1918. Went with the president and a number of elders to the American council's officer and obtained my permit to leave New Zealand. My companions Elder Gallacher and Pearson could not get theirs until later. After this I bought three towels costing me 5 S. then the president Elder Patrick and I tried to find the home of Sister Johnston a saint who does not know where to stay with us or join the reorganized church. We were unable to find her. Coming back to headquarters I wrote two letters one to Mr. Johnston of Thames and Toki Watene of Kopu. Then wrote up in my diary. In the afternoon President Lambert gave me two letters one to my father and one to Mr. Hardy a life insurance man recommending me to that business. After taking with the president Jack Monteque came to the mission home and he and I went downtown. We had a shave in Frank Monteque's shop…." "April 30th 1918. I packed my trunk and visited. I went to Mrs. Elizabeth Johnston's and while there I met two Elders of the Josephite Elders. They had been given our mission a very bad name. They are very prejudice against us. Their main subjects are blood atonement polygamy true succession to the President. They argued with me 4 hours. I held my own. In the afternoon I received letters and telegrams from the following…." He then lists many names "May 2nd 1918. He is sailing on the steamship "Niagara" We took our trunk and suit cases to the boat as we expected it to leave any moment. The custom officer examined a few of our things then we were able to take them on board. At noon I ate dinner at headquarters then at half-past 12 Elder Patrick and I visited the Hanby's. They treated us very kindly. They gave me several photos. In the afternoon I received my release a diploma which I had worked for for nearly 3 years. I was happy to get it……" He again bids everyone goodbye but the boat was running late so they bid more people goodbye including Miss Hanby who was at the gate. He says "She was the last girl I said goodbye to in New Zealand. She is certainly one of the best girls I ever met in my life." "We went back to the ship and finally went to bed. The next morning we were out in the mid ocean. The passengers were all lovely. On board ship were the Premiers of Australia The Rt. Hon. Mr. Massy of New Zealand and to this Mr. Massy I had a letter of introduction. Then there were other big men such as Sir Joseph Ward one Prime Minister of N.Z. the Sect of the Navy of Australia and several French Generals. So we had a Whakahihi crowd. Our cabin was no. 124 and 72' 2" square. In there was a fan electric lights 3 beds a dresser a wardrobe a wash basin and cloths racks." "May 4th 1918. Was not feeling too well so remained in bed a few hours. Missed two meals. I played a game of tennis with two ladies and wireless operator. He was a splendid friend taking us over the boat and informing us to every move and movement. Saturday evening we sang and held a dance. We were even asked to join several times but didn't have the nerve to try." Then to Sura and off for a little while and have lemonade in the hotel. "May 6th 1918. If you will remember 3 years ago I mentioned in my diary that we went to bed on Tuesday and got up on Thursday losing a day. Tonight it is making up that day. We go to bed Monday night and get up on Monday morning. Had hotcakes for breakfast also egg omelet. Began reading "The Light of Western Skies" by Zane Grey. We played deck quotes and other games. Met the Sec. to Mr. Ward one prime minister of New Zealand. We held a concert at night." "May 7th 1918. It was very warm. Several persons were curious over our being "Mormons." We conversed with several over religion. I had my laundry done up. We couldn't get fresh water as it had been mixed by mistake with the salt water….The boat games were very interesting. There were many of the women who smoked. Some thought it strange that we wouldn't gamble…." "May 12th 1918. Hawaii We were in American waters at 8 o'clock. It was a happy day for us to see American flags flying all over. Our boat flew an American flag. The doctor came on board and examined all of us. There our passports were ____. Then at 2 o'clock we went ashore. I was one of the first off. We rented a motor car for 3 hours and rode over the island. It was one of the most beautiful places I had ever seen. We went to what is known as the Ecquarium Aquarium where you see several kinds of fish. They are of every color known. All kinds' sizes and colors. We also rode to Diamond Point Mountain. We rode to Waikiki Beach where we saw surf riding. After riding we visited the "Mormon Church." We met the secretary his wife and three elders. They were not very sociable. We ate a big dinner down town….At 5 o'clock we went back on the ship. There were hundreds of people to see us off. Many of the natives were selling flowers….The boat pulled out of Honolulu at 5:30. We went to bed early. Two new Elders came on board returning home." BACKGROUND NOTES: One online source: "Most Maoris had been converted to Protestant and Roman Catholic Christianity by the 1850s; but because they believed they had been cheated in land deals by the whites whom they called pakehas the Maoris made war on the pakehas. These wars lasted from the late 1850s until the 1870s. When the wars ended the time seemed to be right to take the restored gospel to this outstanding part of the Polynesian race. When William Bromley was called as New Zealand mission president in 1881 President Joseph F. Smith told him that the time was right to take the gospel to the Maoris. The first successes among them came in 1883 but once the Maoris and the Mormons got together Maori converts flocked into the Church. By the end of 1884 the missionaries had firmly established the restored gospel among the Maori people. The next several years were very satisfying to most of the elders and sister missionaries several couples were sent to New Zealand beginning in 1885. In August 1885 there were 16 Maori and 4 pakeha branches of the Church and this number continued to grow steadily for the next 15 years. At the close of 1887 there were 2573 Latter-day Saints and by the turn of the century there were nearly four thousand members of the Church in New Zealand. Most of the Maori tribes including large numbers in the north around Whangarei and the Bay of Islands had been introduced to the gospel. In 1901 there were 79 branches. Clearly since the early years in Hawaii the Church had not enjoyed so much success with a Polynesian people." The 5¼" x 8½" diary is written in a unique once rich looking red leather gilt stamped flip top style book that has a worn and torn red leather cover detached but accounted for with his name stamped in gold lettering. The book is hand numbered beginning at 313 to 358. We note that like all LDS Church diaries each page has a carbon copy. What is unusual and unique is that most other Mormon missionary diaries had carbons with one copy given to the church. It appears Elder Olsen kept his copies.
