Deutschherrenhaus Photo

Photographer’s Note

The Deutschherren or the Deutschordenshaus in Koblenz was the first settlement of the Teutonic Order Knights in Rhineland.
The divine order of knights played a substantial role in the East German colonisation. Since 1929 it has been a clerical order and is, after the Maltese Order and the templars, the third largest order of knights which was formed at the time of the crusades. The chosen motto of the order is “help, defend and heal“.

The Archbishop Theoderich von Wied called the knights of the Teutonic order to Koblenz in 1216 and presented them with a piece of land from the St. Castor foundation and the St.Nicholas Hospital which were in the immediate vicinity of the place where the Moselle flows into the Rhine. A motivation for the settlement of the order was seen in its suitability for care of the sick.
Due to the destruction in 1944, only one building among the wide ranging buildings of the German Knights of the Teutonic Order has been preserved and this is the former administrative building – the Deutschherrenhaus. The Ludwig Museum is housed here which displays contemporary, mainly French, art. /From Koblenz-Touristik/

Ciao Laszlo,
è un peccato che la guerra abbia distrutto gli altri edifici, ma si sa' la guerra fa solo danni.....
bella l'architettura e come sempre interessante nota.

Hallo László!
Toll, wieder was gelernt! Dort war ich auch noch nicht...Obwohl das Wetter nicht auf Deiner Seite war, ist dir ein eindrucksvolles Foto gelungen, das dieses wirklich schöne und ehrwürdige Gebäude gut in Szene setzt (unten hätte ich vielleicht etwas "weggeschnitten ;-). Das Ordenskreuz oben im Giebel wirkt richtig eindrucksvoll. Übrigens, von dieser Niederlassung des Ordens kommt die Bezeichnung "Deutsches Eck" für diese Landspitze.

Hello Lazlo,
I was in this beautiful city, but saw little of it, just walked by the banks of the Rhine.
Excellent composition and beautiful architecture with a good note.
Best regards,
Charo

Hallo Laszlo,
schönes Bild von diesem historischen Gebäude.
Leider hast du kein Glück mit dem Wetter gehabt, aber du hast die ungünstigen Bedingungen recht gut gemeistert.
Mir gefällt besonders dein Aufnahmestandort. Auch das vertikale Format ist gut gewählt.
Viele Grüsse
Helmut

Hi Laszlo,

A really well chosen POV and a fine composition. The lighting is very good even if it not very good weather. The very green lawn covered with flowers is very attractive. TFS and have a nice Saturday evening!

Cheers,

Ulf

Itt kiválóan vetted bele a parkot a szép színes virágokkal meg a kis csobogóval, amik igencsak feldobták a képet. Kicsit kár a belógó aknafedőért meg a beégett égért..

Encore une belle image de Koblenz ou tu te plaisais avec ton Nikon. Le manque du soleil ne derange pas trop. On a une belle idee sur cette belle maison et les efforts qu'on fait pour les alentoures.

Avec remerciements et grandes amities!

Ciao Laszlo,
il cielo nuvoloso non ti ha aiutato, ma sei riuscito ugualmente a gestire la luce in modo ottimale, grazie anche alla buona scelta dei 400 ISO, permettendoti una foto piacevole e ben definita. Eccellente il POV, con i fiori in primo piano che contribuiscono a colorare l'immagine. Molto interessanti le tue note storiche. Bravo!
Ciao
Paolo
PS: grazie per tutta l'attenzione che hai dato alla mia gallery, sono molto onorato :-)
