Feierliche Eröffnung des


ROBERT HAMMERSTIEL MUSEUM


in Werschetz am 28.5.2010

 

Forwarded by Eduard Grünwald


            Robert Hammerstiel wurde mit seiner Familie im November 1944 aus dem elterlichen Wohnhaus in Werschetz vertrieben und verbrachte drei Jahre in verschiedenen Internierungslagern in Jugoslawien.

Im August 1947 gelang ihm mit Mutter und Bruder die Flucht über Ungarn nach Österreich.

 

            Hier erkämpfte sich der dem hektischen Kunstbetrieb stets fern gebliebene Einzelgänger seinen Rang in der Kunstszene und kann auf eine umfangreiche internationale Ausstellungstätigkeit zurück blicken.

 

            Seinen Stellenwert repräsentieren zuletzt auch zwei große Einzelausstellungen im Leopold Museum, eine umfassende Werkschau im Wiener Künstlerhaus mit dem Zyklus der Hommagen sowie zeitgleich die Verhüllung des Ringturmes in Wien mit einer über 4.000 m² großen Netzfolie mit vier vom Künstler geschaffenen Sujets.

 

            Am 29.5.2009 verlieh die Stadt Werschetz (knapp 70.000 Einwohner) ihrem Sohn Prof. Robert Hammerstiel die Ehrenbürgerschaft.

 

            Jetzt, im 78. Lebensjahr stehend, passiert das für ihn Unglaubliche:

 

            Er kehrt in das Haus in Serbien, welches einmal im Eigentum seiner Großeltern stand, als nunmehr hoch Gefeierter zurück:

 

            In „sein Museum“, welches am 28.5.2010 feierlich in Werschetz eröffnet wird.

Milwaukee’s Schwabenhof 

Keeps German Heritage Alive

By Sarah Biondich

     In a country as expansive and diverse as America, where it’s easy to slip into a place of anonymity, many of us look to our ancestral roots to satisfy our much-needed sense of community. Even though we may never set foot on the native soil of our relatives, we still identify with our family origins. Here in Wisconsin, ethnic social clubs play an important role in promoting the cuisine, language and customs of our heritage. And every club needs a clubhouse where members can gather together, like the Schwabenhof, which has been home to the United Donauschwaben of Milwaukee since 1968. 

 

     Located on Silver Spring Road in Menomonee Falls, Schwabenhof is more of a complex than a clubhouse. It has to be, considering its role as the meeting place for the largest German ethnic group in the state, the Donauschwaben—“ethnic Germans that lived outside of Germany in the Slavic regions of Eastern Europe predominately along the Danube River,” as the group describes itself. Schwabenhof began as a clubhouse for Donauschwaben Vergnügungsverein and three other Donauschwaben clubs—the Apatiner Verein, the Mucsi Familienverein and the Milwaukee Sport Club—and eventually grew into a full-fledged tavern and restaurant with an outdoor beer garden surrounded by a 300-car gravel parking lot and nine regulation-size soccer fields.

 

     Friday night finds the 400-person banquet hall filled to the gills with devotees of the beloved Schwabenhof fish fry. The waiting list—an hour long at peak dining times—can be sidestepped with a reservation, though spending an hour in the bar and two adjoining rooms can be fun. Order a tall Weiss beer garnished with a slice of lemon and sit back for some people-watching: The rooms are filled with families, many featuring three generations, and the walls are lined with framed photographs of members, some wearing traditional folk costumes, of a bygone era. The trophy collection tells the story of the soccer teams that have played there, and the beer steins on the shelves are a reminder of the Old World.

 

     The Schwabenhof serves a classic Wisconsin fish fry, a time-honored tradition popularized by German Catholics observing meatless diets on Fridays. $10.95 gets you all the cod you can eat, and includes a choice of potato: baked, German salad, pancakes, or french fries. A small portion of crisp, light coleslaw, creamy homemade tartar sauce and a slice of rye bread accompany the meal. If you’ve consumed enough fish this Lenten season, the Schwabenhof dinner menu also includes entrees that have garnered their own faithful following, such as the Old World fried chicken and barbecue ribs. The well-trained wait staff weaves quickly in and out of the packed room, delivering second and third servings of fish to the masses and ensuring not a single glass is left empty.

 

     The Friday night fish fry is just one of the many social gatherings the Schwabenhof hosts in a given week. The smoke-free banquet hall, as well as the outdoor pavilion and picnic area (which together seat about 1,200 people from June through October) have been the location for many a party, from birthdays and reunions to proms and weddings. To feed their guests, event planners choose from the facility’s catering menu: Buffet-style, sit-down, and even late-night sandwiches and picnic food are offered. True to its roots, the Schwabenhof also accommodates traditional German activities, such as Schlachtfest, a celebration of the fall pig slaughter and, of course, Oktoberfest.

 

     The Schwabenhof is located at N56 W14750 Silver Spring Road, Menomonee Falls. 

     The Schwabenhof serves food Wednesday 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Friday 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. The bar is open Tuesday-Thursday 3 p.m. to 1 a.m., and Friday 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. For more information, call (262) 510-9042.n

Superfoods and Beer

http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art50596.asp

 

          In April, 2007, at the Alaska Women’s Show in the Sullivan Arena in Anchorage was a cooking demonstration called “A Toast:  Beers to Your Health.”  The focus centered on SuperFoods, beer and health, and demonstrated how small additions to your diet can score big health benefits for a lifetime. 

 

          SuperFoods are the darlings of the nutritional circle, filled with such beneficial giants as antioxidants, monosaturated fats, and phytonutrients.  These provide protection against cancers and heart disease, aid in bone formation, lower rates of diabetes, protect against stroke, and provide vitamins and minerals essential to good health.  Among this list of SuperFoods are:

Apples – fiber and antioxidants, including flavonoids and polyphenols.

Avocados – Monosaturated fatty acids that appear to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol and raise HDL (good) cholesterol levels.

Beans – fiber, lean protein, B vitamins, potassium, and antioxidants.

Blueberries – Multiple antioxidants, fiber, folic acid and vitamins C and E.  Tip:  Use frozen blueberries – they are picked at ideal ripening time and fast-frozen to preserve the beneficial nutrients.  Fresh berries may endure long periods of transport and shelf-sitting during which nutrients diminish and fruit can grow molds.

Dark Chocolate – flavonoids that lower blood pressure and prevent clogged arteries.  Look for dark chocolate with high levels of cocoa solids.

Kiwi Fruit – Vitamin C, potassium, and flavonoid antioxidants.

Oats – Fiber, protein, potassium, magnesium and phytonutrients.  These lower cholesterol and help stabilize blood sugar. 

Spinach – Lutein for your eyes, carotenoids, antioxidants, betaine, and Vitamins B, C and E.

Sweet potatoes – Vitamin C, antioxidants, fiber.

Tofu – fiber, lean protein, B vitamins, potassium, and flavonoids.

Walnuts – Omega-3 Fatty acids, micronutrients.

Yogurt – Calcium, protein, probiotics and beneficial bacteria that aid digestion, help metabolize food and tone your system.  

 

          The Beer Fox believes that beer should be included in this list of SuperFoods.  The benefits of moderate beer consumption are well established.  Thousands of people worldwide have participated in studies that indicate that moderate beer consumption is good for your health.

 

          Please note:  Evidence reveals that heavy alcohol consumption contributes to the formation of visceral fat around the small intestines and liver. The advanced drinker does not display this excess layer of fat. Continuous extreme alcohol consumption is linked to cirrhosis of the liver and to breast cancer.  The key is moderation!  

  • Beer is made through a traditional process of blending sugars from malted grains, like barley or wheat, with hop flowers and water.  The skill of the Brewmaster brings out the flavor, aroma, color, mouthfeel, and foam characteristics through the formulation of recipes and fermentation of sugars.  Careful aging completes the picture.

  • Aromas may be of citrus, flowers, or herbs - also may smell caramel, toffee, sweet biscuits, cocoa, coffee, honey, chocolate chip cookies.

  • Yeasts may add aromas of clove, banana, exotic spices, apples, strawberry, dark fruits. 

  • Craft beer is usually not pasteurized.

  • It may be unfiltered – true craft beer drinkers like this.

  • In the USA, the fermentation process determines the category of the beer:

 

Lagers use bottom fermenting yeast (Saccharomyces carlsbergensis) that work most efficiently at lower temperatures – e.g. Standard Lager; Helles; Dortmunder; Vienna Lager, Oktoberfest; Pilsner, Munich Dunkel; Schwarzbier, Maibock; Bock; Doppelbock; Eisbock; Rauchbier;

 

Ales use top fermenting yeast (Saccharomyoces cerevisiae) that work most efficiently at higher temperatures – e.g. Cream Ale; Blonde Ale; Kolsch; Altbier; American Wheat or Rye Beer; English Pale Ale; ESB; Scottish Ale; Irish Red Ale; APA; English Brown Ale; Porter (usually); Dry Stout; Oatmeal Stout; Russian Imperial Stout; IPA, German Wheat Beer; Belgian Wit; Old Ale; Barleywine (Usually); 

 

Wild Fermentation is a third category that uses the microbiota of the Brussels region or cultures of yeast known as Brettanomyces, Lactobacillus and Pediococcus (to mimic these organisms) for fermentation – e.g. Biere de Garde; Saison (usually); Berliner Weisse (combined with ale yeast); Flanders Red Ale; Flanders Brown Ale (Oud Bruin); Lambic; Gueuze; Fruit Lambic; Belgian Strong Ale(Blonde, Dubbel, Tripel, Golden Strong, Golden Dark)

 

Note:  beers such as Christmas Winter Warmers; Spiced/Vegetable Beer; Fruit Beer; Other Smoked Beer; Wood Aged Beer; and Specialty Beer may fall under any category.  

 

Benefits:

  • Made from wholesome ingredients:  malt, hops, yeast and water – have natural components that contribute to a healthy, balanced diet.

  • Is 93% water – an enjoyable means of taking in this essential substance.

  • High in potassium and low in sodium – the correct balance for low blood pressure.

  • Alcohol appears to increase metabolic rate significantly, causing more calories to be burned rather than storing them in the body as fat. 

  • One study showed consumption of sugar to decrease as the consumption of alcohol increases.

  • Significantly increases the HDL cholesterol – the good cholesterol – in the body (Study of Hendriks et al, TNO Nutrition and Food Research Institute and Weber et al at SUNY Downstate College of Medicine and 2003 Israeli study)

  • Yeast is pure Vitamin B, so beer is an excellent source of B vitamins – niacin, riboflavin, pyridoxine (B6) and folate.

B6 in beer gives beer drinkers additional protection against cardiovascular diseases (compared to drinkers of wine or spirits) – it prevents the build-up in the body of a chemical called homocysteine, a chemical linked to increased risk of heart attack. 

 

Folate has been shown to be protective against cardiovascular disease (1998 study Rimm, Willett and Hu, et al in the Journal of the American Medical Association) and some cancers (1999 study by Zhang, Hunter, Hankinson et al in the Journal of the American Medical Association).

 

Source of antioxidants (flavonoids)

 

          Antioxidants in hops have the potential to fight cancers of the gastrointestinal tract (1996 study by Kuo, SM and a 1999 study by Tatsuta, Iishi, et al in the Intl Journal of Cancer) 

 

          Antioxidants in hops have the potential to fight breast cancer (1999 study by Miranda, Stevens & Helmrich in Food & Chemical Toxicology and 1999 study by Shen, Xue, and Weber in Anticancer Research)

 

          Antioxidants in hops have the potential to fight thyroid cancer(1999 study by Yin, Giuliano and Van Herle in Thyroid). 

 

          Natural hop compounds have been shown to be cardioprotective (1999 study by Dubey, Gillespie, Imthurn, et al in Hypertension and 1997 study by Brandi in Calcified Tissue International)

 

          Hops have moderate sedative and somnorific effects

 

          Hops have positive hormonal effects

 

          Hops contain compounds that prevent the removal of calcium from the bones and are preventative against osteoporosis (Tobe, Muraki and Kitamura et al in Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry [BBB] and 1997 study by Anderson and Garner in Nutrition Research

  • Low in calcium and rich in magnesium – may help to protect against gallstones and kidney stone formation.

  • Beer drinkers are protected from the organism, Helicobacter pylor, which is known to cause stomach ulcers and may be a risk to stomach cancer.

  • A source of soluble fiber (derived from the cell wall of malted barley).  Aids healthy bowel function, slows down the digestion and absorption of food and reduces cholesterol levels.

  • Beneficial ingredient in beer pedicures - the hops and enzymes in the beer help to soften calluses. It is rich in vitamins and has a toning effect on the skin. It is also used in German spa bath therapy for this reason.  In the February 2003 Issue of Jane Magazine, beer was a recommended hair rinse for promoting shine and manageability.

  • Beer belly?  Studies show that women who drink beer tend to weigh less than their non-beer drinking counterparts (study by S. Mannisto, K. Uusitalo, E. Roos et.al. that appeared in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition - subject base was 27,215 middle-aged men and women - The study concluded that over consumption of food and a sedentary lifestyle with significantly low activity levels caused beer belly, not beer.

  • Those who consume beer in moderation enjoy better health and a longer life than those who abuse alcohol or those who totally abstain from drinking it.

  • Dictionary of Popular Food/Nutrition Misbeliefs by German food chemist Udo Pollmer - indicates that soaking red or white meats in beer, before grilling, reduces the formation of cancer-causing HCA’s (heterocyclic amines).  HCA’s are formed through a reaction between amino acids and creatine in muscle meats when they are cooked at high temperatures.

 The Rhinoceros

Albrecht Dürer

 

Forwarded by Thomas B. Cole, M.D., MPH., JAMA 

Page 918   JAMA, March 10, 2010—Vol 303, No. 10

 

            In January of the year 1515, the nossa senhora da Ajuda set sail from India, bound for Lisbon via the Cape of Good Hope. Along with the usual priceless cargo of exotic spices, the ship carried a rhinoceros, a gift from Sultan Muzafar II for his ally King Manuel I of Portugal. No rhinoceros had been seen in Europe since the days of the Roman menageries. Scholars of the 16th century were unsure whether rhinoceroses actually existed, or whether they were mythical, like the unicorn. When the rhinoceros disembarked in the port of Lisbon, it was welcomed as a major scientific discovery.

 

          A description of the rhinoceros reached the German painter and printmaker Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528), who was inspired to make a pen and ink drawing of it. The drawing was used as a template for a woodcut block, which was then inked to make multiple prints of Dürer's design, including the image on the cover. However, this image is a work of imagination rather than a representation of reality, because Dürer never had the opportunity to examine the rhinoceros himself. A real rhinoceros has thick folds of knobby skin, not armor plates or scales, and it has a single horn on the end of its snout. The little augur-shaped horn on the nape of the image's neck is pure fiction.

 

          But there are also similarities. The edges of the armor plates in the image correspond to the major skin folds, and the size and shape of the head and hooves are authentic 

(see http://www.waza.org/en/zoo/visit-the-zoo/oddtoed-ungulates/rhinos-1254385523/rhinoceros-unicornis ). 

The description that Dürer worked from may have included a rough sketch, which he embellished. Despite the inaccuracies, Dürer's image was so striking that it was used in natural history textbooks for the next 200 years.

 

          Albrecht Dürer was born in 1471 in the Imperial Free City of Nürnburg (now in Germany). His father was a goldsmith, and his godfather a printer and publisher. His godfather may have taught him to make woodcut prints by drawing designs on blocks of wood and then gouging out the spaces between the lines so that the drawn designs could be inked for printing.  Dürer also apprenticed with the painter and printmaker Michael Wolgemut and traveled to Italy for further instruction in anatomy and proportion. Dürer became a scholar of the art and science of proportion himself and was particularly interested in the mathematical relationships of spirals and other complex curves. He was a skillful painter but was best known for his prints. Unlike paintings, prints could be produced in quantity and at relatively low cost, allowing them to be seen by many more people. The disadvantage of prints was the lack of color, unless they were hand-colored after the printing process, so printmakers became adept at line art to make their images appear lifelike.

 

          In the image on the cover, Dürer uses various techniques of line drawing to model the form of the rhinoceros in three dimensions. Heavy, well-defined curves mark the borders of the plates and scales. Shadows under the belly and lower jaw are suggested by thin crossed lines known as cross-hatching. Bright areas, such as the back and brow of the rhinoceros, have spaces with no lines at all, which the viewer interprets as glare from reflected light. Dürer also uses systematic distortions of small shapes to suggest contours. For example, slight changes in the shape, size, and orientation of tiny target shapes on the torso of the rhinoceros make its shoulder, belly, and flank appear rounded and muscular, and distortions in the shapes of the scales make the animal's legs appear flexed at the joints. The overall impression of Dürer's print is that the rhinoceros is a formidable creature, and this impression is conveyed by compressing the field of view so that the animal in profile fills up the frame of the picture, its horn scraping one edge of the frame and its tail brushing the other.

 

          In life, the rhinoceros is not as dangerous as it appears. All rhinoceroses are herbivores. Indian rhinoceroses live in grasslands and riverine forests, spending much of their day in water to cool down. They were hunted almost to extinction in the early 1900s. Since 1910 rhinoceros hunting has been prohibited in India, and the current population has grown to about 2500 individuals. However, the species is still threatened by habitat loss and poaching for its horn, which is believed to have powers of healing and sexual potency in some cultures. Contact with humans has long been hazardous for these animals, including the rhinoceros that was immortalized by Dürer. After displaying it for several months, King Manuel sent it by ship to Pope Leo X, but the ship was wrecked in a storm, and the rhinoceros drowned.

Irma Starkloff Rombauer- The Joy of Cooking

Forwarded by United Donauschwaben Milwaukee

 

          Today we fondly remember Irma Starkloff Rombauer (Oct. 30, 1877 to Oct. 14, 1962).  She was the author of "The Joy of Cooking". It is one of the world’s most published cookbooks, having been in print continuously since 1936. More than 18 million copies have sold since the Great Depression.

 

          Irma Rombauer published her recipes and anecdotes during that time in the hope of lifting America’s spirits. Today, nine revisions later, the Joy of Cooking, selected by The New York Public Library as one of the 150 most important and influential books of the twentieth century, has taught tens of millions of people to cook, helped feed and delight millions beyond that, answered countless kitchen and food questions, and averted many a cooking crisis.

 

          Born in 1877, Irma Rombauer’s young life was uniquely charmed. She was a member of the St. Louis Deutschtum, an inner circle of wealthy German speaking Americans. She spent her teenage years shuttling between her hometown of St. Louis and the elegant port city of Bremen, Germany, with her German born parents. Irma’s pride in her German heritage also deeply influenced early editions of the book. The first edition includes recipes for dishes such as Blitzkuchen and Linzer Tortes and even a few quotes from Goethe. Irma also exhibited an endearing frankness with her readers. Unlike any other cookbook narrator at the time, Irma admitted to her lack of expertise and joked about not having time to cook. In one section, she wrote, “The German recipe reads, ‘stir for one hour,’ but of course, no high-gear American has time for that. As simply stated by writer Tim Farrell, “Irma Rombauer knew her audience.”

Schlachtfest Means: Great Donauschwaben Foods

 

 

 

Forwarded From Trenton Donauschwaben

 

 

 

          The club’s Bratwurst Boys  (along with the rest of our dedicated kitchen volunteers) will be at hard work again on February 24th making Bratwurst and Leberwurst sausages for the Sunday dinner the next day.

 

          Held annually in November and February, the dinner (two seatings) attracts the biggest crowd of diners of any month. In addition to wurst, the meal also includes Sarma (stuffed cabbage), roast pork and all the side dishes.

 

          The Schlachtfest is a tradition among the Donauschwaben, past and present. The meats prepared provided our ancestral Donauschwaben farmers with a high source of protein (forget about the fat, calories, cholesterol, triglycerides, etc.) not only in the Winter, but also in the Spring for their annual planting season. Little goes to waste when making wurst. Naturally our homemade wursts have a Hungarian influence due to the area our folks came from including that taste of paprika, white and black pepper and certainly garlic. No vampires here.

 

          As we all know Germans are famous for their varieties of wursts. German sausages are classified in several ways according to Sharon Hudgins of the German Life magazine (Feb_Mar 2010). Those named from their ingredients; Blutwurst (blood sausage), Leberwurst (liver sausage), Milzwurst (spleen), Zungenwurst (tongue), Zwiebelwurst (onion), Kartoffelwurst (potato) and Schinkenwurst (ham). Some are named for their method of preparation; Rohwurst (raw), Kochwurst (cooked), Dumpfwurst (steamed), Burehwurst (simmered) and Rostwurst (grilled).

Anyway you name it ―Wurst ist sehr gut!
