Lokale Geschichte

Denne bog fortæller om den proces, der lige efter reformationen i 1536 blev iværksat af kongen og biskopperne. De ville give bondebefolkningen og købstædernes beboere oplysning og skolegang. Derfor blev landets klosterskoler flyttet til Købstæderne, hvor undervisningen foregik på latin. Samtidig blev der "læse- og regneskoler" til dem, der ikke havde penge og evner til at komme på Latinskole, hvor undervisningen foregik på latin. Eleverne på den lokale skole blev derimod undervist på dansk. Slagelse Latinskole var blandt landets bedste skoler og dannede forbillede for andre skoler. Særligt Forstander embedet i Slagelse blev i perioder besat af landets bedste på området. Næsten modsat gik det med den "Danske skole", hvor undervisningen i perioder var fraværende. Bogen fortæller også om den meget høje standard, sang og musik havde for skolerne.

Denne nye udgave muliggjorde genoptryk i farver takket være støtte fra Møenbogaardfonden, januar 2014. I juni 2014 mødte fem døtre af forvalterparret Dørum (1945-55) op på Friisenfeldt for at gense deres barndomshjem og samtidig bidrage til et supplerende kapitel i det, der er blevet 3. revideret udgave af bogen om Friisenfeldt – en arbejdsplads.Udarbejdelsen af 3. revideret udgave har desuden betydet, at bogens format er sat op i større størrelse samt er aktuelle fotos indsat af hhv. FLS-Aeromotor møllen og Østersøskolen ved Gedser Landevej. Fotos viser nedrivning af bygningerne, 13. august 2014. Projektet tog sin begyndelse i sommeren 2013, hvor der i dagene 9-11. august for første gang blev afholdt "Fyrstival" i Gedser. Eventen omfattede blandt meget andet gøgl, gadeteater og guidede rundvisninger. Danmarks sydligste gård Friisenfeldt, beliggende på Gedser Odde, var forsøgsvist programsat med guidede rundvisninger i tidsrummet 13-17.Vi, dvs. festivalens arrangør Yvonne Halskov og jeg, Gitte Ahrenkiel, der bor til leje i stuehuset på Friisenfeldt, havde ingen anelse om, hvordan festivalens gæster ville reagere på denne mulighed. Det skulle imidlertid vise sig, at folk allerede indfandt sig tidlig formiddag og at "Lukketiden" kl. 17 samtlige tre dage blev overskredet.Flere tidligere ansatte mødte op til rundvisningerne for at gense deres gamle arbejdsplads. Meget fra dengang står stort set uforandret, fx den gamle kostald, karle- og pigekamre. Til stor fornøjelse for os, der guidede og for gæster, som af nysgerrighed deltog i rundvisningerne, fik de tidligere ansatte vakt de støvede bygninger til live med fortællinger om en tid, hvor der var køer og heste i staldene.Blandt de tidligere ansatte, der aflagde Friisenfeldt besøg i 2013, var Verner Christensen og hans familie. I perioden 1956-57 havde han fungeret som underforvalter på Friisenfeldt for senere at få fæste som forvalter på Ludvigsgave. Helt spontant tilbød Verner Christensen at sende fotos fra dengang. Og det var disse fotos fra Verner Christensen som inspirerede andre tidligere ansatte til at gå på jagt i fotoalbums, skuffer og skabe - for at finde materiale frem til vores fælles bogprojekt: Friisenfeldt - en Arbejdsplads.De indleverede beretninger har betydet en samtidig afspejling af Sydfalsters historie og undervejs i forløbet har Gedser Lokalhistoriske Arkiv spillet en central rolle.

Twickenham is chiefly known today as the home of rugby, but its heyday could be said to be in the eighteenth century when first Alexander Pope and then Horace Walpole made it their home and extolled its Arcadian setting.Captain Gray, a naval officer, acquired plots of land close to the river in Twickenham in 1718 on which he built two rows of houses, Sion Row and Montpelier Row, which survive to this day and are much admired.This book tells the story of Sion Row, which was built for Gray by a remarkable local craftsman, Edward Reeves, who had ambition to become an architect. It explains the features of the houses and how they were built. It then follows them through to the present day showing how they were used and what modifications have been made to them and, not least, how they survived.In parallel we learn of the owners and the residents, many of whom have fascinating stories to tell. They are immensely diverse, some international, some purely local, some disreputable, others pillars of respectability.Their lives are put in the context of changes in Twickenham as it evolved from out of town retreat to prosperous commuter suburb. In telling the story of these houses and people, a remarkable social history is revealed.

With the aid of a near countless parade of carefully selected historical images, Mikel paints a picture the reader will not ever forget. -- Michael Carrier, author of Murder on Sugar Island (Jack Handler mysteries)"Deeply informative, but never boring, each chapter covers a different event or person in the often dangerous and sometimes lawless Great Lakes frontier. Maybe Michigan natives especially will be surprised by these stories from the state's past. Claussen doesn't focus on the well-known or the glamorous stories, but instead the odd, the little-known, and the people who labored so hard to provide for themselves and their families in an unforgiving and brutal environment. This is a wonderful volume to better understand the little-understood region that is Michigan's Upper Peninsula." -- Axie Barclay, Portland Book Review"It's not that these stories have never been told... yet any collection keeping stories alive seems worthy. The author delves into the darker corners of the U.P. history, some he admits he himself had a hard time believing. All told, the book is a nice sampler and keepsake of the wild, weird, and wonderful things that should have given the Upper Peninsula its own genre of 'Western'." --Konnie LeMay, Lake Superior MagazineLearn more at MikelBClassen.com
