Extractions: Photographs With respect to heritage at risk there are extraordinary monuments singled-out, for which it seems to be easier to awaken international interest regarding their fate. Yet there are a great many and a great variety of monuments typical of their region and past life-style, which are also special but not often recognised and sometimes not given any thought. Max Dvoraks Prophecy in the 1918 Katechismus der Denkmalpflege, stating that the simple often needs more protection than the important, is also relevant for this major field of cultural heritage today. In other words: the culturally non-spectacular and seemingly normal has been lost, although it is of great value for exactly the same reason as more impressive monuments. In terms of cultural capital, it is Austrias variety in landscape which assumes a primary role: from Lake Neusiedl in the panonic plains of the east, across the ridges of the Alps to Lake Constance in the west, and from the hills of Bohemia in the north to the connections with the Mediterranean south. This variety of cultural landscapes is especially shaped by its architectural heritage, mostly by the structures connected with rural life. The latter, in their rich differentiation, are particularly endangered as an entire category in Austria: from the typical houses located around the region of Bregenz in Vorarlberg (Bregenzerwaldhaus) to the varieties of alpine farm houses; from the beautiful three- and four-sided farm houses located in the central regions to the arcades in Burgenland. Wood and clay structures are the most endangered, as well as those belonging to the greater area of the farm house, including structures of past-agricultural practice and methods.

Extractions: Austria, at the geographical heart of Europe, is renowned for its ski resorts set on spectacular mountains, overlooking crystal-clear lakes and voluptuously green valleys. Throughout the country are glorious architectural reminders of the once-powerful Hapsburgs, who dominated central Europe for seven centuries. Nowhere is the legacy more evident than in the capital, Vienna, with its ornate Opera House and the former imperial residence of the Hofburg. Austria's other cities are similarly infused with a historical magic, notably Salzburg, the birthplace of Mozart, with stunning Baroque churches set before a backdrop of snow-covered peaks, and Innsbruck, in the centre of the Austrian Alps. Austria has a justifiable reputation for music, literature and the arts, but also boasts a gourmet culture. The legendary Gemütlichkeit - a laid-back enjoyment of life - is in evidence in the cafés, where the art of coffee-drinking has been raised to a high art, and the many Heurigen, where the latest vintages are accompanied by vast quantities of food. Nightlife is versatile, offering laid-back taverns, beer gardens and excellent après-ski, as well as trendy clubs and dance venues packed to the small hours.

Nishida (128.227.173.98) on October 02, 2003 at 22:29:32: In Reply to: College Entrance Essay posted by Katie on October 02, 2003 at 12:19:34: Comments: Katie: In answer to your questions, yes, you're focused on your topic. Yes, you give elaboration. Yes, you answer the prompt. Even so, I do have a few concerns: 1. The tone of this essay is very light and airy. Chipper, almost. At times it seems almost flippant. I don't know if this is good or bad, honestly. It certainly would stand out from other application essays. On the other hand, I might lack a gravity or seriousness a college essay reader is looking for in a college applicant. You might talk to your English teacher about this. 2. You jump from present tense to past and back again. Personally, I liked the narrative ring to the past tense bit: "I stood in utter awe of the vision on the mountainside." You might consider structuring both body paragraphs in a narrative fashion (told in past tense). For example, instead of saying, "Nothing in my mind can compare to the St. Stephans Cathedral in Vienna, Austria," you could describe first seeing it on your trip. This would only take a few changes in your wording. After describing it, tell the impact it had on your mind at the time (as you did in your second body paragraph).

This church was the most marvelous display of riches in the baroque style that I have ever seen, especially having followed several gothic cathedrals in the days prior. On March 21, 1089 Babenberg Margrave Leopold II of Austria (1075-1095) made over the church and the castle on the cliff site of Melk to the Benedictine abbot Sigibold and his monks. Ever since that day monks have lived here in observance of the rules formulated by Saint Benedict of Nursia. Today the abbey building, whose exterior is painted entirely in yellow, is Austria's most famous example of baroque architecture. The abbey stands at the entrance to the Wachau, a picturebook stretch of the Danube Valley in Lower Austria.
