Jihlava: Where Gustav Mahler Went to School
Jihlava is the capital of the Highlands' region (Kraj Vysočina) in the southwest of Moravia and formed a German language island in a Czech-speaking environment for a long time during the Austro-Hungarian Imperial and Royal monarchy. Gustav Mahler was born in 1860 in Kalischt, shortly before his parents moved to Jihlava. It is the city of the childhood and youth of this probably greatest late-Romantic composer who during his lifetime enjoyed especially high esteem as a conductor. Today, the Gustav Mahler Museum is situated in the house that was formerly the tavern of his father. Mahler went to school here, but after the death of his parents in 1889 he never returned to Jihlava. By the way, some of the documents at the museum testify that he was a rather bad student. His passion was music!
In addition to the Mahler Museum there are a lot of beautiful old houses around the market square, some of them dated from the 16th century, in this oldest Moravian mining town. There are also magnificent building from the Founder Epoch (architectural historicism) spread over the whole town. Another highlight is the church of St. James (Kostel svatého Yakuba Staršího), consecrated in 1257. From the tower one has a wonderful view of the town and the gently undulating landscape of the Bohemian-Moravian mountain range.
Iglau, wo Gustav Mahler zur Schule gegangen ist
Jihlava, auf Deutsch Iglau, ist die Hauptstadt der Hochland-Region (Kraj Vysočina) im Südwesten Mährens und bildete während der k.u.k.-Monarchie lange Zeit eine deutsche Sprachinsel in einem tschechischsprachigen Umfeld. Gustav Mahler wurde 1860 in Kalischt geboren, kurz bevor seine Eltern nach Jihlava zogen. Es ist also die Stadt der Kindheit und Jugend dieses vermutlich größten Komponisten der Spätromantik, der zu seinen Lebzeiten vor allem als Dirigent höchstes Ansehen genoss. Heute erinnert das Gustav-Mahler-Museum im Haus, in dem sich vormals die Schankwirtschaft seines Vaters befand, an den Musiker, der hier zur Schule ging, aber nach dem Tod der Eltern 1889 nie mehr in die Stadt zurückkehrte. Er soll übrigens ein schlechter Schüler gewesen sein, was einige im Museum gezeigte Dokumente beweisen. Sein ganzes Streben galt der Musik!
Neben dem Mahler-Museum gibt es in dieser ältesten mährischen Bergbau-Stadt sehr schöne alte Häuser rund um den Marktplatz zu sehen, die teilweise noch aus dem 16. Jahrhundert datieren. Über das Stadtgebiet verteilt finden sich auch prächtige Gebäude aus der Gründerzeit. Ein weiteres Highlight ist die Jakobuskirche (kostel svatého Jakuba Staršího), geweiht im Jahr 1257, deren Turm man besteigen kann. Von dort hat man einen wunderbaren Blick auf die Stadt und die leicht gewellte Landschaft des böhmisch-mährischen Höhenzugs.
Jihlava donde Gustav Mahler iba a la escuela
Jihlava es la capital de la región de Tierras Altas (Kraj Vysočina) en el suroeste de Moravia y formó una isla de lengua alemana en un ambiente de habla checa durante mucho tiempo en la monarquía Imperial y Royal Austro-Húngara. Gustav Mahler nació en 1860 en Kalischt, poco antes de que sus padres se trasladaron a Jihlava. Es la ciudad de la infancia y la juventud de este probablemente mayor compositor romántico tardío que en vida disfrutó especialmente alta estima como director de orquesta. Hoy en día, el Museo Gustav Mahler está situado en la casa que antes era la taberna de su padre. Mahler iba a la escuela aquí, pero después de la muerte de sus padres en 1889, nunca volvió a Jihlava. Por cierto, algunos de los documentos en el museo dan testimonio de que era un estudiante bastante malo. ¡Su pasión era la música!
Además del Museo de Mahler hay en esta ciudad minera más antigua de Moravia una gran cantidad de casas antiguas hermosísimas alrededor de la plaza del mercado, algunas de ellas datan del siglo XVI. Hay también edificios magníficos de la época de los fundadores (historicismo arquitectónico), repartidas por toda la ciudad. Otro lugar de interés que destaca es la iglesia de Santiago (Kostel svatého Yakuba Staršího), consagrada en 1257. Desde la torre se tiene una vista maravillosa de la ciudad y el paisaje suavemente ondulado de la cordillera de Bohemia-Moravia.

Among the principal buildings are the early Gothic churches of St. Jacob, Friars Minor church of Our Lady and Dominican church of Holy Cross, the Baroque church of St. Ignatius of Loyola, the Municipal Hall and a number of municipal houses containing Gothic and Renaissance details. There is also a Jewish cemetery, containing some remarkable monuments including the tombstone of the parents of Gustav Mahler.beautiful city, , nice photographs of landmarks, skyline, famous buildings, street life

Typical folk dances were the Hatschou, Tuschen and Radln. Peasant women like wearing old pairische Scharkaröckchen costumes with shiny dark skirts and big red cloths.
After the end of World War II, and following the Beneš decrees, these German speakers were evicted; it is estimated that hundreds died on the arduous trek to Austria.[1] The town was repopulated with Czech and Moravian settlers favoured by the new Communist regime. After 1951, the town was the site of several Communist show trials, which were directed against the influence of the Roman Catholic Church on the rural population. In the processes eleven death sentences were passed and 111 years of prison sentences imposed. All the convicted persons were rehabilitated after the Velvet Revolution.
In protest against the Soviet occupation of Czechoslovakia in 1969 Evžen Plocek set himself on fire in the town marketplace in emulation of others in Prague. Today there is a memorial plaque to him.
Since the collapse of Communism in the 1990s the share of employment in agriculture has steadily declined. The industrial sector of the town now employs 65 percent of all workers. In 2004 the Jihlava Polytechnic was set up and now has about 2 600 students.

Gustav Mahler - Gustav Mahler - Songs of a Wayfarer - b. Ging heut morgeri (performed by unknown)
Gustav Mahler (German pronunciation: [???staf ?ma?l?]; 7 July 1860 -- 18 May 1911) was a late-Romantic Austrian composer and one of the leading conductors of his generation. A Jew, he was born in the village of Kalischt, Bohemia, in what was then the Austrian Empire, now Kališt? in the Czech Republic. His family later moved to nearby Iglau (now Jihlava), where Mahler grew up. As a composer, Mahler acted as a bridge between the 19th-century Austro-German tradition and the modernism of the early 20th century. While in his lifetime his status as a conductor was established beyond question, his own music gained wide popularity only after periods of relative neglect which included a ban on its performance in much of Europe during the Nazi era. After 1945 the music was discovered and championed by a new generation of listeners; Mahler then became a frequently performed and recorded composer, a position he has sustained into the 21st century. Born in humble circumstances, Mahler displayed his musical gifts at an early age. After graduating from the Vienna Conservatory in 1878, he held a succession of conducting posts of rising importance in the opera houses of Europe, culminating in his appointment in 1897 as director of the Vienna Court Opera (Hofoper). During his ten years in Vienna, Mahler experienced regular opposition and hostility from the anti-Semitic press. Nevertheless, his innovative productions and insistence on the highest performance standards ensured his reputation as one of the greatest of opera conductors, particularly as an interpreter of the stage works of Wagner and Mozart. Late in his life he was briefly director of New York's Metropolitan Opera and the New York Philharmonic. Mahler's œuvre is relatively small; for much of his life composing was necessarily a part-time activity while he earned his living as a conductor, but he devoted as much time as he could to his compositions, faithfully reserving his summer months for intense periods of creative concentration, supplemented as time permitted during his active concert seasons with the tasks of editing and orchestrating his expansive works. Aside from early works such as a movement from a piano quartet composed when he was a student in Vienna, Mahler's works are designed for large orchestral forces, symphonic choruses and operatic soloists. Most of his twelve symphonic scores are very large-scale works, often employing vocal soloists and choruses in addition to augmented orchestral forces. These works were often controversial when first performed, and several were slow to receive critical and popular approval; exceptions included his Symphony No. 2, Symphony No. 3, and the triumphant premiere of his Eighth Symphony in 1910. Some of Mahler's immediate musical successors included the composers of the Second Viennese School, notably Arnold Schoenberg, Alban Berg and Anton Webern. Shostakovich and Benjamin Britten are among later 20th-century composers who admired and were influenced by Mahler. The International Gustav Mahler Institute was established in 1955, to honour the composer's life and work.

Jihlava - Andreas van Zoelen
In WW II, thousands of people where exiled from different parts of Europe. Amongst them the Sudeten-Deutschen from Jihlava, Iglau, in the Czech Republic. Jihlava was written to commemorate the suffering and hardship of these people, that had to travel hundreds of kilometers by foot in search of a new existence. Amongst these people where my grandmother and my mother. It is devastating to me that history repeats itself time and time again.
Although very aware of the fact that this film is just a mere drop in the ocean, I would strongly like to make a statement against the repression of minorities, and call for mutual respect between our worlds religions, races, cultures and beliefs! We can all learn and in that way benefit from each other.
The audio is a live recording of my composition, Jihlava for symphonic band. Performed by Harmonie St. Caecilia Blerick, conducted by myself, Oct. 2. 2005, Heythuisen, Netherlands

Telč - A Unique Town Square in Southern Moravia
Telč, surrounded by ponds, is a small town in Southern Moravia near to Jihlava and not far from the Austrian border. Due to its rather unique market square, the historical centre was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1992: After a devastating fire in 1530 all the houses around its long urban plaza were rebuilt in a Renaissance and Baroque style and with arcades and high gables, and they are still well-conserved. Another important monument is the Renaissance chateau on the northwestern edge of the square. Various films were shot here, e.g. Werner Herzog's Woyzeck.
Teltsch ist eine kleine Stadt, die, umgeben von Teichen, in Südmähren in der Nähe von Jihlava und nicht weit von der österreichischen Grenze liegt. Aufgrund des einzigartigen Marktplatzes wurde die Altstadt 1992 zum Weltkulturerbe der UNESCO erklärt: Nach einem verheerenden Brand im Jahre 1530 wurden alle Häuser rund um den langgestreckten Marktplatz im Renaissance-und Barockstil mit hohen Giebeln und Arkaden wiedererichtet, und sie sind heute noch gut erhalten. Ein weiteres wichtiges Bauwerk ist das Renaissance-Schloss am nordwestlichen Rand des Platzes. Verschiedene Filme wurden hier schon gedreht, darunter Werner Herzogs Woyzeck.
Telč, rodeada de estanques, es una pequeña ciudad en el sur de Moravia. Está cerca de Jihlava y no lejos de la frontera con Austria. Debido a su plaza única, el centro histórico fue declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO en 1992: Después de un incendio devastador en 1530 todas las casas alrededor de su larga plaza se reconstruyeron en un estilo renacentista y barroco, con hastiales altos y arcadas, y todavía están bien conservadas. Otro monumento importante es el palacio renacentista en el extremo noroeste de la plaza. Varias películas se rodaron aquí, por ejemplo Woyzeck de Werner Herzog.
Telč, entouré d'étangs, est une petite ville en Moravie du Sud, près de Jihlava et pas loin de la frontière autrichienne. En raison de sa place de marché plutôt unique, le centre historique a été déclaré site du patrimoine mondial par l'UNESCO en 1992: Après un incendie dévastateur en 1530 toutes les maisons autour de sa longue place urbaine ont été reconstruites dans un style renaissance et baroque et avec des arcades et hauts pignons, et ils sont encore bien conservées. Un autre monument important est le château de la Renaissance sur le bord nord-ouest de la place. On a tourné quelques films ici, par exemple le Woyzeck de Werner Herzog.
[Telč, obklopen rybníky, je malé město na jižní Moravě nedaleko Jihlavy, nedaleko od hranic s Rakouskem. Vzhledem k jeho poměrně unikátní náměstí, historické centrum bylo prohlášeno za světové dědictví UNESCO v roce 1992: Po ničivém požáru v roce 1530 všechny domy kolem své dlouhé městské náměstí byly přestavěny v renesančním a barokním stylu a s arkádami a vysokými štíty , a oni jsou ještě dobře zachovány. Další významnou památkou je renesanční zámek na severozápadním okraji náměstí. Různé filmy zde byli zastřeleni, např. Woyzeck (Werner Herzog).]

Mahler's œuvre is relatively small; for much of his life composing was necessarily a part-time activity while he earned his living as a conductor, but he devoted as much time as he could to his compositions, faithfully reserving his summer months for intense periods of creative concentration, supplemented as time permitted during his active concert seasons with the tasks of editing and orchestrating his expansive works. Aside from early works such as a movement from a piano quartet composed when he was a student in Vienna, Mahler's works are designed for large orchestral forces, symphonic choruses and operatic soloists. Most of his twelve symphonic scores are very large-scale works, often employing vocal soloists and choruses in addition to augmented orchestral forces. These works were often controversial when first performed, and several were slow to receive critical and popular approval; exceptions included his Symphony No. 2, Symphony No. 3, and the triumphant premiere of his Eighth Symphony in 1910. Some of Mahler's immediate musical successors included the composers of the Second Viennese School, notably Arnold Schoenberg, Alban Berg and Anton Webern. Shostakovich and Benjamin Britten are among later 20th-century composers who admired and were influenced by Mahler.

Gustav Mahler (German pronunciation: [???staf ?ma?l?]; 7 July 1860 -- 18 May 1911) was a late-Romantic Austrian composer and one of the leading conductors of his generation. A Jew, he was born in the village of Kalischt, Bohemia, in what was then the Austrian Empire, now Kališt? in the Czech Republic. His family later moved to nearby Iglau (now Jihlava), where Mahler grew up. As a composer, Mahler acted as a bridge between the 19th-century Austro-German tradition and the modernism of the early 20th century. While in his lifetime his status as a conductor was established beyond question, his own music gained wide popularity only after periods of relative neglect which included a ban on its performance in much of Europe during the Nazi era. After 1945 the music was discovered and championed by a new generation of listeners; Mahler then became a frequently performed and recorded composer, a position he has sustained into the 21st century. Born in humble circumstances, Mahler displayed his musical gifts at an early age. After graduating from the Vienna Conservatory in 1878, he held a succession of conducting posts of rising importance in the opera houses of Europe, culminating in his appointment in 1897 as director of the Vienna Court Opera (Hofoper). During his ten years in Vienna, Mahler experienced regular opposition and hostility from the anti-Semitic press. Nevertheless, his innovative productions and insistence on the highest performance standards ensured his reputation as one of the greatest of opera conductors, particularly as an interpreter of the stage works of Wagner and Mozart. Late in his life he was briefly director of New York's Metropolitan Opera and the New York Philharmonic.
