Today we'd like to bring your attention to this engineering marvel from the XIXth century - The Elster Viaduct (German: Elstertalbrücke).🤩

The viaduct was built in the course of the construction of the Leipzig–Hof line of the Saxon-Bavarian State Railway (Sächsisch-Bayerische Staatseisenbahn). The foundation stone was laid on 7 November 1846. Up to 800 workers worked on the bridge from 1846 to 1851, laying 12 million bricks 😮❗️❗️

The Herrnhut Moravian Star

Saxony's Video Advent Calendar: Dec 24, 2021 - The Herrnhut Moravian Star The Moravian Church was founded in 1722 by Nikolaus Ludwig Count von Zinzendorf and Protestant refugees from today’s Czech Republic. They erected a new town called Herrnhut, meaning “care of the Lord”. Soon they took up missionary work, leaving their children behind in boarding schools, who missed their parents. To comfort them and as an exercise in geometry, a mathematics teacher had them built Christmas stars, which quickly developed into a tradition. In 1897, Dutch-born Pieter Hendrik Verbeek invented a new variety which could be disassembled and shipped easily, with a metal frame holding together the pointed paper elements. A manufactory was established, the Moravian Stars conquered the world and they are still made in Herrnhut today. #protenstantism #hernhut For more information on Saxony visit: http://saxonytourism.com
