Werner Warmbrunn Collection. 1885-2006
No full textThe Werner Warmbrunn Collection documents life and professional activities of Werner Warmbrunn and to a smaller extent, members of his immediate family. The collection consists of correspondence, diaries and memoirs, educational documents, printed materials, and unpublished poetry by David Warmbrunn and Werner Warmbrunn. Included in the collection are Werner Warmbrunn’s personal correspondence (mostly from the late 1930s); professional correspondence pertaining to his work at Stanford University and Pitzer College; as well as correspondence of his parents, David and Lilly. However, the core of the collection consists of Werner Warmbrunn’s diaries dating back to the late 1930s. Additionally, there is unpublished poetry by Werner Warmbrunn and David Warmbrunn, printed materials, and photo albums arranged topically by Werner Warmbrunn.Werner Warmbrunn was born on July 3rd, 1920, in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. His father, Dr. David Warmbrunn was a chemist, who owned a commercial laboratory. In 1936 the Warmbrunn family moved to Amsterdam, Holland. In 1939, his parents left Holland and settled in the United States. Werner Warmbrunn remained in Holland and attended a Quaker agricultural boarding school. In 1941 he came to the United States where he stayed with his sister on a farm near Cornell, Ithaca. He earned his BA in 1943 at Cornell University and his Ph.D. in History at Stanford University. Between 1949 and 1952 Werner Warmbrunn served as a Co-Director at the Peninsula School in Menlo Park, California. From 1952 to 1964 he was a foreign student adviser and director at Bechtel International Student Center, Stanford University. In 1963, he was invited to Pitzer College by its president, John Atherton. Werner Warmbrunn helped design the academic programs for the new college (Pitzer College, an undergraduate liberal college was founded in 1963) and developed its community. Werner Warmbrunn is the author of two books: The Dutch Under German Occupation, 1940-1945 and The German Occupation of Belgium 1940-1945. Werner Warmbrunn retired in 1991. He died in 2009.Processeddigitize
Werner Bergengrün Collection. 1941-1966
No full textThis collection contains photocopies of correspondence and obituarial material regarding Werner Bergengrün. There is
also material pertaining to Johannes Urzidil that may or may not be connected with Werner Bergengrün. The earliest correspondence is
to the Urzidils in New York from an acquaintance in England, indicating that the war will get worse but he should visit when it is
over (1941). Following the 1941 Urzidil letter are obituaries for Werner Bergengrün from 1964. There is a 1966 letter from Lotte
Bergengrün to Johannes Urzidil, indicating that Werner was sick for some time and his last poem is dated 1962. The last item in the
collection is a letter from "Fritta B." in Munich to Johannes Urzidil, exchanging greetings.Werner Bergengrün (1892-1964) was a Baltic German author. He married Lotte Hensel, a descendent of Moses
Mendelssohn.Processed for digitizatio
Forgotten and Newly Discovered Author - Werner Bräunig
No full textDiese Abschlussarbeit befasst sich mit dem "vergessenen" Autor Werner Bräunig (1934-1976). Er wurde wieder im Jahre 2007 "entdeckt", als sein verbotener Roman "Rummelplatz" erschien. In den ersten zwei Kapiteln werden kurz die Geschichte und die Literatur der Deutschen Demokratischen Republik (DDR) beschrieben. In dem Hauptteil beschäftigt sich die Arbeit mit dem Leben und den Werken von Werner Bräunig, hauptsächlich mit dem Roman "Rummelplatz". In diesem Teil wird auch die Bräunigs Beteiligung an dem kulturpolitischen Programm der Sozialistischen Einheitspartei Deutschlands (SED) sog. "Bitterfelder Weg" erklärt. Am Ende der Arbeit wird die Zensur in der DDR erwähnt. Gerade wegen der Zensur konnte Bräunig sein Roman nicht veröffentlichen.This bachelor's thesis deals with a "forgotten" author Werner Bräunig (1934-1976). His previously forbidden novel "Rummelplatz" was not published until 2007 and thanks to that the author was "newly discovered". In the first two chapters, the history and literature of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) are briefly described. The thesis's main part is dealing with Werner Bräunig's life and work, primarily his novel "Rummelplatz". This part also clarifies Bräunig's participation in the political-cultural program Socialist Unity Party of Germany, so called "Bitterfeld way". At the end of the thesis mentions a censorship in the GDR, because of which Bräunig could not publish his novel.Tato závěrečná práce se zabývá „zapomenutým“ autorem Wernerem Bräunigem
(1934-1976). Jeho dříve zakázaný román „Rummelplatz“ vyšel až v roce 2007 a díky
tomu byl tento autor „znovu objeven“. V prvních dvou kapitolách jsou krátce popsány
dějiny a literatura Německé demokratické republiky (NDR). V hlavní části se práce
zabývá životem a tvorbou Wernera Bräuniga, především románem „Rummelplatz“.
V této části je také vysvětlena Bräunigova účast na kulturně-politickém programu
Sjednocené socialistické strany Německa tzv. „Bitterfeldské cesty“. V závěru práce je
zmínka o cenzuře v NDR, kvůli které nemohl Bräunig svůj román publikovat.Katedra cizích jazykůDokončená práce s úspěšnou obhajobo

Troller's caption: Prof Dr. Werner - famous cancer research personality, leader of the govnmt. -main cancer hospital (F-4)Estate of the artist. Doris Rauch 1982.Born in Bruenn, Austria-Hungary (now Brno, Czechoslovakia) in 1900, Norbert Troller served as a soldier in World War I, spending time as a prisoner-of-war in Italy. After the war he studied architecture in Brno and Vienna and worked as an architect in Brno until the German occupation of Czechoslovakia. He was deported to Theresienstadt in 1942, where he worked as an architect for the Jewish self-adminstration of the camp, and produced works of art as well. In 1944 he was imprisoned by the Gestapo, and was sent to Auschwitz later that year. After liberation, he lived briefly in Cracow, and then reopened his architectural business in Prague and Brno. He emigrated to the United States in 1948 and worked for the National Jewish Welfare Board in New York designing Jewish community centers, before opening his own practice. He died in 1984.digitizedDigital imag

Response of the fine root system in a Norway spruce stand to 13 years of reduced atmospheric nitrogen and acidity input
No full textAtmospheric inputs of acids and nitrogen (N) have altered growth and vitality of forests for decades, but there is a lack of understanding concerning the response of these forests to reduced deposition. We studied fine root parameters of a Norway spruce stand treated with reduced input (clean rain) for 13 years. Fine roots of the clean rain plot had smaller N and Al contents, however, fine roots in the subsoil were still subjected to soil acidity and Al toxicity as indicated by a fine root Ca/Al ratio of less than 0.5. The treatment effect was most pronounced in the organic layer of the clean rain plot where fine root biomass increased by 66% and the live/dead ratio of fine roots increased by more than 100%. The elevated live/dead ratio was attributed to reduced mortality and faster decomposition of fine root litter. The latter was supported by a positive relationship between live/dead ratio and manganese content of fine roots. In contrast to the organic layer, fine root biomass was not different in the mineral soil. However, at 20-40 cm fine root diameter was greater and specific root tip density was smaller than in the topsoil likely because of strong N limitation as indicated by a C/N ratio of > 50. Based on these morphological changes we postulate differing functional properties of fine roots in the organic layer and mineral soil below 20 cm depth. Further, our results suggest that Picea abies is able to adapt morphology and functional traits of its root system following reduced N availability
