Farting Before Stomach Virus

Press release of the IG-BBH - Press release of the IG-BBH

Berlin-Brandenburg Hufbeschlagschmiede based interest group

Before the Day of German Unity, numerous Hufbeschlagschmiede found from all parts of Berlin and Brandenburg and a number of interested visitors in a long letter to form a "community of interest Hufbeschlagschmiede Berlin-Brandenburg" (IG-BBH). were preceded by the establishment

already forged a series of regional round tables on which the special problems of a professional group discussed the operation of which is usually more focused on individually and collectively. The initiators Olaf Peter and Volker Schurig Thanks to that the Hufbeschlagschmiede Berlin and Brandenburg will now work together on issues of education and training and the further systematization of the craft. Vacation and sick leave of colleagues each other, in the past often led by Anger, should also be the subject common approach.

After lively discussions, was laid in the framework for future cooperation, took place the election of the board; Olaf Peter, Hufbeschlaglehrmeister Gransee was made by the attending 20 charter members unanimously elected the first chairman. Stephen Mathias, Mathias Polzfuß and Volker Schurig agreed to accept the election as vice-chairman, treasurer and secretary to actively complement to the board.

requirement for membership is the successful completion of state audit as Hufbeschlagschmied to ensure a high level in dealing with the horses entrusted to us to ensure and further extended in the future can. For a long overdue step has been taken, which makes the work of certified Hufbeschlagschmiede Berlin and Brandenburg on a new basis for both our customers and colleagues for each positive effects expected in the future can be.

honorable craft and modern

© 2008/Dirk Ludwig


The horseshoe is a traditional and certainly honorable craft. He is aged around 2000 years and has changed in that time what the actual technology itself, concerned, hardly. Representations from the Saxons in the mirror 11. Century show the operations, which are still carried out even in this kind of blacksmith. On the question remains as to whether the forging is an art, and hence the horseshoe are the ghosts. Judged an art, an old Danish book forging was not hard enough, but not art. We want to pan the book is not now but later it is a strange sentence. Perhaps the author does not know of the past, perhaps he never saw the perfection of a sword from the hand of a master, or did he never the divine in a perfect tool should look? Art is the transmission of the sensation of the divine element to the concrete world of man. In a picture of a cantata or a poem that is specifically expectant gaze of the creators of what he sees and how he handles it. And if the blacksmith was going on just now? His deepest and purest sense in incorporating the blade of a knife? Then there would not be a work whose form language compelled us to the admission that it is art?

While the honorable craft essentially always has to be a creative process, it keeps the work in the mere business stuck in all of creation is excluded because the workers only filled or emptied and the process itself can not determine everything. The blacksmith's anvil, be holy, because he can see him yourself, the machine is working his machine resources for the purpose of earning a living. The factory of modernity created by their need for regular routine of the worker, contrary to the tradition of the craft, whose work indeed in some cases, routine calls, but this in a different relationship to reality is. A blacksmith forged nails by hand and each of these nails is unique, because the feelings of the blacksmith are reflected in the work piece. In one factory, the sensation of the worker is the same thing, every nail is the same! No end a little thicker or thinner, no edge more round or square. In the modern result of the conflict between craft and machine work by the greed of the merchant and the consumer. Both merchant and consumer pull this together and, although it is not in their interest to change it and create a new level.

the honorable craft was since time immemorial, the principle, where two can be satisfied through work, are also two that work done, apply in this regard in a factory other laws. Where more can be produced with fewer workers, must happen, because the factory that has a root in the workshop, the other in the greed, no longer has internal structure that reflects the people and by the people is alienated and himself, where he relies on them entortet. Not so in the traditional Craft. The place is always the man, not the machine. It remains the master left to the rhythm of the work with the hand hammer to vote and vote a fellow of increases in the now lifting song of the forge. It appears from the will and skill of the master the song, from the need of the machine or the merchant, making the machine subservient. Hardly surprising

come from the Anglo-Saxon considering how the profit should be increased for farriers best. There are tools invented or adapted so that the farrier can also work quite alone, he does not need any more helpers. This is useful in times when the purchasing power in general markedly decreased, but at the same time it destroys social bonds, it undermines the principle of the old European Fides and returns it into the general felony, which now makes the rounds everywhere. When the master constraint is destroyed, there is a short-term effect, because of more "artists" can open very quickly a "deal" and there is a long-term effect is that social structures are destroyed and directed to the substitute consumption. Quite apart from making the bungling, even the largest of North America based business. You know, anyone can buy any tool at all, and even tinkering, whether he can or not is irrelevant because it does not comes to a tough plant. Later, the tools are getting cheaper self-produced, so that the resulting work is as fast-paced, as is his tool, too. There will be private bungling the new culture and promoted the general lack of culture.

Is Smoking Weed Good For Cataracks

The reversion to small states, or what brings us the ruling of the SNB in terms of horseshoes?

© 2008/Dirk Ludwig

rejected since recently, the Federal Constitutional Court, the new Hufbeschlagsgesetz in part, by the shrill cheers of interested parties hardly an end. Naturally, they benefit as a single and an above-average by the decision. But first things first. Do you know the situation after 30 years of war in Germany a little? No! Then let our consideration of the appeal start with a little time travel.

As in the horseshoe that time the situation was in Germany on the whole, confused and without any binding order. Every little prince or who considered himself something like that could put his own interests over the public interest. Each mini-state had its own laws and taxes, train artisans were as they wanted, because the corporations no longer existed and virtually every village blacksmith shoed horses, even if he had never learned anything like this. The only obligation was largely in the fact that nothing was as authentic. The damage was caused to the horses was immense, causing many contemporaries Goethe's bilious comments.

That these conditions called for a clarification is self Clarification came in the political field as well as in horseshoes, but we want here simply to point out that the situation is not of the horseshoe have been better than the entire political-economic situation both in Germany and no digression into history. The horseshoe itself was lifted only by the power of Graf von Einsiedel and the adoption of mandatory regulations for the country to an acceptable level. Was largely driven by uniform guidelines for scientifically based training for young blacksmiths contributed to the new level in Germany could prevail. Today we have a more complicated situation in the horseshoe and yet she is like that time without liability.

The shrill sounds of rejoicing - they sound like whistling in the dark - are certainly more than justified: They know perfectly well that they have won only against a loveless drafted legislation, not by the persuasive argument, and so we have a further round into the house, that will come because they must. The ruling cements a situation of public transport in Germany, which is similar to those from before Einsiedel work. Everyone can do what he wants, even the absurd hypothesis can be converted into cash. In thirty days to the farrier, testing outside Germany to pay for existing, no problem! The small states have caught up with us, once again created conditions that need clarification ...

The life of a blacksmith forging

At the instigation of Count von Einsiedel Systematization of Hufbeschlagswesens Forging was the first teacher in 1860 opened for the former Kingdom of Prussia in Milkel (Upper Lusatia). This was a decisive impulse for shoeing in Germany, here was the high degree of disorder in the training and exercise of the trade, the idea of a central policy opposed. With great success, for a short time later it was actually the creation of a central teaching forged in Berlin. Yet this training facility was reserved for the military, but at the beginning of the 20th Century changed the fundamental. Now been permitted on a civilian blacksmith forge teaching. It was recognized that in addition to the enormous economic and military importance Interest in the health of the horse was. This interest has now turned into a personal interest in the horse lovers in the health of their animals. Shall pay each time to the fact that different trends prevail, and it remains the progress of individual parts are also a development of the whole.

at the forge in Milkel teaching was for the entrance examination at that time required that a complete horseshoe was forged in just two heats! In a regulation is information, which still hangs on the door in the forge. Nothing was missing: folding, stamping, punching, bending, edges, cutting out and tighten cap had to be overcome as specified by the master. Today, a little more time available, but must still be forging a rod to the correct final dimensions of the horseshoe. All in all not an easy task, as the entrance examination in Berlin takes a whole day and includes not only the activities of the blacksmith, the forging of a horseshoe bar and a forged piece from the classical field of forging to specification.

got 1787 equerry Graf von Lindenau commissioned by Friedrich Wilhelm II to establish a facility to train veterinarians in Berlin. The causes were, for one thing, that the loss of mules and horses during the Seven Years' War was immense and the other in the repeated occurrence of epidemics. Even at this time, it explored there with the horseshoe. Up to Einsiedel Graf advance, however, should a few more years go by. Nevertheless, these years were not wasted years for shoeing, because here are the roots of which later becomes effective scientific research in Berlin.

By 1868 the Army Veterinary School, founded Berlin forging teaching very closely linked to famous names in the horseshoe. The author should be familiar to many of today's standard work for the training of farriers "The hoof" Hermann Ruthe, who led the Berlin study forged after the war. Less known is be the fact that Professor Rutherford moved the "Handbook of the horseshoe" by Theodor Bauer revised and after the war than just this current standard work. Bauer, in turn revised in 1887 to appear in Berlin Köstersche textbook of the horseshoe. Hubert Köster itself was as a corps-Roßarzt and technical director of the Berlin army training blacksmiths in the introduction of the Prussian army horseshoe involved C87, which was later replaced by the improved Army Horseshoe W32. This army Horseshoe W32 is still the foundation of modern shoes. But this selection shows the innovations wrought by the Berlin study proceeded.

With the establishment of the Friedrich-Wilhelm University (Later Humboldt University) and the integration of Veterinary Medicine in the University was transferred to the Army in Berlin teaching forging a civilian teaching forge, was now in the entire young farriers to be trained in scientific terms. This was based on laws that govern the horseshoe uniform. In addition to this important educational forged in what was then Prussia, in Berlin, there was also a training tank for the police.

The founder and first director of the Berlin Military Teaching forging Dominik Friedrich, by the way, learned from the hermit's forge in Milkel the local technology in the horseshoe, as Kösters Corps Roßarzt led the holistic assessment of the horse in the training of blacksmiths were one and his teachings continued, among others, Theodor Bauer and Hermann Ruthe at the Berlin University Teaching forge. Even today, after the traditional model of the horse is judged. Dominik created certainly not a completely new, he referred to much older teachings, but fell substantially after the 30 year war, especially because of the conditions in Germany in oblivion.

The collection of the Museum of forging Humboldt University of Berlin includes hoof from 2000 years ago. It was begun in 1790 with the founding of the Thierarzeneischule and includes still one of the most exclusive collections of this Profession. Among them are 2000 years old Chinese Hippo sandals to find as well as hardware from around the world. There are rare claw fittings and shoes for special purposes, some of which are over 1500 years old. Tools for hoof fitting round, and products around the foot from the collection by subject. A final public exhibition of a small part of the collection was held in the Martin Gropius Bau 2,001th The museum itself was forged until a few years ago, the public, but now is the access forever remain locked and the dust collection in the archives.

Even today in the Berlin study the classical pattern forged irons are forged. (See Image), not all found in this form is still used, but learns the future wrought in the production is extremely helpful in the later self fitting. It is about the practical ability to get the most from an industrially manufactured horseshoe blank, what is in it. The idea is to promote an operation, process or technical finesse in forging, not the traditional horseshoe itself. The training of farriers in the Berlin study forge still largely based on the principles that were developed in the past and includes new material on course with a hoof. This leaves the Berlin study forging still a good choice for future farrier. Moreover, I personally prefer the all-demanding, rigorous training in a non-commercial public oriented teaching forge any other model.

knowing full well that the Berlin study forge is especially appreciated by those few who could not exist the Vorschmieden, or others who have never seen to be learned at least a few days there, it must be said that the great Prussian forging tradition today still alive. She moved to the reunification of Germany by the Humboldt University for their supports in the Free University. I myself am proud as a graduate of the Berlin Teaching forging a part of this ancient tradition to be. Nothing is given to it, it can be only through blood, sweat and tears to acquire it at the end to have actually! No statement is true for the Berlin Hufbeschlaglehrschmiede.

The Berlin study of the classical doctrine of the horseshoe

© 2008/Dirk Ludwig

Do you know the parable of the Caucasian Chalk Circle? Bert Brecht has processed here is a classic Chinese theme to a modern play that has to tell us still more. Unforgettable is the Weigel in the title role is at the Deutsches Theater in Berlin. Two women fight fiercely for a child. Not for his love, but for the right to consider it with that care, it can be grown. One of the women, the birth mother stops at the last consequence, the cutting of the child so that each get a half back, while the other, wrong mother, the violation of the child for selfish motives in your portfolio. Like the two competing for the child, women are the traditional teaching of the horseshoe and so-called alternative methods to the antipodes, which vie for the attention of the customer. The arguments presented here can be divided roughly into two categories as a thesis and antithesis. Technical assessments, we want to be in the first division ignored and respond to them later.

As supporters of the thesis, we find representatives the classical theory. There are usually farriers and veterinarians, the reasons for their view with the scientific study of the subject and not derive their established position. They are grouped primarily on the research institutes of the universities and their teaching forging. On the side of the antithesis to find together a number of people who see their positions as opposed to traditional teaching and derive precisely from this contrast, a substantial part of their argument. What you want to install is one, as Hans Freyer once called "lazy dialectic" by claiming that they represent the antithesis is already the perfect synthesis. However one looks behind the facade of their Arguments is that neither something new is offered, nor that it is a holistic approach.

Since we are dealing with such a theme with images and concepts in the broadest sense and philosophy, we want first of all clarify the concept itself. Philosophy is to obtain your own will to knowledge and to improve to be a sound way. It is not a closed process, but our life is forcing himself to continual reflection of the once learned. This is evident, particularly in the area of the horseshoe, which is subject to the continuing improvement of science and research, a gradual evolution. It is wrong to assume the farrier will merely wishes to make a fitting with iron, because he knows nothing or know how it is wrong to claim that the rejection of iron as hoof is particularly progressive. Both models are thought as half truths, only antitheses to existing theories that want to inherit from the respective other side. It is obvious that an anti-thesis is only the opposition but may represent a new level. The pacifist in this sense is nothing new, but he is only against war, which tends at the moment the shot, by its very existence is being observed by the other side. That is the situation today with the hubris that has developed around the classic horseshoe.

The allegations, which the blacksmiths are presented with vehemence, range from one end of the scale to the other end and do not shy away even from pure exaggeration. Is repeated often and the accusation that a man (Blacksmith), the horse would have been maltreated, or even the blacksmith's forging of passion and therefore unable to think of a hoof, is not made of iron. without realizing it, they get to the business of the "wrong mother." Even going into details is basically useless, and yet can find the following general information: In the old literature, mainly from Germany, have all praised today as a contemporary theories already , Read some more about what the general state of knowledge says a hundred years ago than we do today to admit you. Said C. Balussa written in 1828 and Christoph Bach de 1834 per a treatise on the human and animal stress-free fitting without penalty, as H. Möller was thinking in 1907 about new materials in the horseshoe, and published in a comment to the Examination Regulations for Hufbeschlagschmiede. The subsequent reception of these ideas in the early literature shows that this is already acting to traditional knowledge.

we see ourselves as a concrete example of the so-called Banana-iron from the U.S. to take a closer look. This particular shoe has been the occasion Hufbeschlagstagung a blacksmith at the Berlin study the experts and public. It combines a strong toes and traditional direction that will facilitate the movement of horses. This is to revolutionize the first look at an innovation which is the horseshoe. At second glance, a look in the archives of the horseshoe appears, however, that this iron was already in the thirties of the last century in Germany, tried and discarded. There are major problems revealed in the joints of horses, horse because the animal just does not stand still, but also moved in the state.

plastic fittings are also produced back in the 30s of last century in Germany and have applied. In that time, the plastic strain as the hoof, however, were not equal, so that they had to be dropped off. The fact there still remains and gives us a deep insight into the actual nature of the German traditional horseshoe. It was many years after the war, Mr. Dallmer take up the old thoughts and thanks to new technologies and materials that were now available to produce a hoofshoe, which can provide a comprehensive hoof. The combination of plastic and iron was also developed in Germany and very early already industrially produced. Here, too, shows how innovative the horseshoe in Germany understood.

seems the more incomprehensible, therefore, that today has become usual clamor of the one against the other. Unfortunately, only at first glance! For a closer look, we quickly realized that it is indeed almost always involve sophisticated advertising strategies of new products that open up to discredit the traditional methods for market share for its very nature, old traditions and experience in new garb now. The sold us as progress is therefore a step backwards, because he remains in the superficial knowledge of the border hang their own business. It is cheating the followers of the anti-thesis of the world cope with a trick by props from classical theory, processed Search and adapted as a completely new conceptual models to sell. But what makes the classic lesson of reality?

makes the classic doctrine of shoeing a comprehensive proposal for professional Hufzubereitung by - the horse is seen in his life including the human world as a whole, understood and assessed for shoeing - in our case. Again, as shoeing are all operations on the hoof understood, so the Barhufzubereitung, also known as affected by cutting, or Correct! It is expressly stated to be the traditional teaching, the environment in which the horse lives as well as his role as horse-breeding, or beast of burden in supporting the assessment involved and with the realities of the body (feeding condition, ratio of body to the hooves and limbs, the same position, etc.) condensed into a task for the blacksmith. No later than the last sentence should be clear what is in this text the term meant a whole. Many distinguished representatives of the classical theory correctly state the fact that a horseshoe can not meet when the horse does not understand as a whole. To that set the living being is a beloved comrade, like the flight animal. Both the horse are as a comrade and as a domesticated animal escape, thus fully taken into account in the assessment.

Something otherwise see the so-called new theories, the main representative of the classical theory as a completely wrong way of thinking and therefore refuse to propose something "completely new". This "new approach" but falls short because it separates the hoof from all other conditions and has therefore to consider stuck in vagueness. The hoof is a part of the body and the body is a part of the world. This means that all conditions are included in the assessment, giving us our (re) presents world. The "new theories" are aligned on the other hand, wishes and ideas and consequently transferred the so-conceived idea on the processing of the hooves. It will be professional Particular aspects, the list we want to avoid at this point. In short, you create new images and ideas without the traditional doctrine really understood to have or to do it at least. They reject the traditional teaching of the holistic-shoeing on purely economic grounds. I often feel in their argument to the penguin of the artist recalls Uli Stein, who with acidic mine the sign bearing the words "against" with the world.

is striking, furthermore, that it is the antithesis almost without exception theorems from the Anglo-Saxon countries involved are used to support this "new doctrine", that causes and mental models range but much deeper. To look behind the colorful facade can, we must let us help from the philosopher Emperor Marcus Aurelius. He pointed out that the simplification is that method that allows us to look behind things, to recognize their true nature. The modern debate is a manifestation of the intolerable time that no longer understands itself and can no longer recognize the essential. The battlefield is the horseshoe, the battle, however, another ...

Can You Put Bongela On An Abscess Area

Welcome to the world of my thoughts

This blog is a direct continuation of my website, which with thoughts on various topics from the world of the horseshoe is not to be overwhelmed.

Since the idea of this blog spontaneously, one might think, out of a "mood" is created, remains open to another way. Whether I will find the time to a permanent release is questionable for the hour.

I am trying to create at least one current situation, which is composed of different perspectives for discussion.

Feel invited to controversy, but stick with it factually and technically correct. All comments which are contrary to this criterion be deleted without further discussion, respect the other view, however.
