The Augustinerkloster in Erfurt is a built from 1277, former monastery of the Augustinian Hermits , in which Martin Luther lived between 1505 and 1511 as a monk. In the lion and parrot window of the choir window of the Augustinian church of the monastery is the model of the Lutherrose . After the Reformation in 1525, the monastery became the property of the Evangelical Church ; In 1559 it was secularized by the city of Erfurt, In 1945, parts of the monastery were destroyed in an air raid. Since 1994 the Augustinerkloster is the official residence of the provost Erfurt-Nordhausen. The building is used primarily as a meeting and meeting center. The monastery is a recognized cultural monument according to the Thuringian Monument Protection Law .
Since 1266 there was a branch of the Augustinian Hermits in Erfurt . These were from 1273, after disputes with the city, temporarily expelled, but returned in 1276 final. Its seat was built around 1131 Church St. Philippi and Jacobi at the Comthurgasse. 1277 began the construction of the monastery. The funds for the extensive construction were raised in the following centuries through alms and the sale of waste . Until 1518, the construction of the library , St. Catherine's Chapel , the Chapter Hall , the church tower, a cloister , the nave, the Waidhäuser and the New Prioryfinanced between library and Waidhäusern. Particularly noteworthy in the surviving buildings are the stained glass windows of the church made between 1310 and 1340, as well as the outer pulpit , which testifies that at that time sermons were also held outdoors for large crowds.
Johannes Lang , a good friend of Luther, became prior to the monastery in 1522 and prepared the Reformation in Erfurt and the surrounding area. That same year, Lang left the order with many of the monks. In 1525 the church was handed over to the Johannesgemeinde. In 1556 the last monk died. The monastery was finally secularized in 1559.
Reconstruction Between 1936 and 1938, the church was reconstructed in the style of the 14th century and part of the monastery under the direction of architect Theo Kellner . In essence, after repairing the severe war damage, the church can still be seen in this condition today. The ground floor of the library building has also been redesigned to be used for museum purposes. The realization of further planning prevented the war.
From 2000 to 2003, the monastery buildings were restored and modernized. Since then, large parts of the buildings serve as a conference center. At the end of 2003, the Augustinerkloster zu Erfurt Foundation was founded under the trust agreement of the German Foundation for Monument Protection . Its foundation purpose is in particular the renovation, restoration, preservation, care and reconstruction (library and Waidhäuser) of the cultural monument Augustinerkloster zu Erfurt and its annexes, which is recognized according to the law of conservation of the state of Thuringia.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The earliest known world maps date to classical antiquity, the oldest examples of the 6th to 5th centuries BCE still based on the flat Earth paradigm.
World maps assuming a spherical Earth first appear in the Hellenistic period.
The developments of Greek geography during this time, notably by Eratosthenes and Posidonius culminated in the Roman era, with Ptolemy's world map (2nd century CE), which would remain authoritative throughout the Middle Ages.
Since Ptolemy, knowledge of the approximate size of the globe allowed cartographers to estimate the extent of their geographical knowledge, and to indicate parts of the globe known to exist but not yet explored as terra incognita.
With the Age of Discovery, during the 15th to 18th centuries, world maps became increasingly accurate; exploration of Antarctica, Australia, and the interior of Africa by western mapmakers was left to the 19th and early 20th century.

SUMMARY
=======
A nun is a member of a religious community of women, typically living under vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience in the enclosure of a monastery. Communities of nuns exist in numerous religious traditions, including Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Jainism, and Taoism.
In the Buddhist tradition, female monastics are known as Bhikkhuni, and take several additional vows compared to male monastics (bhikkhus). Nuns are most common in Mahayana Buddhism, but have more recently become more prevalent in other traditions.
Within Christianity, women religious, known as nuns or religious sisters, are found in Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, and Lutheran traditions among others. Though the terms are often used interchangeably, nuns historically take solemn vows and live a life of prayer and contemplation in a monastery or convent, while sisters take simple vows and live an active vocation of prayer and charitable works in areas such as education and healthcare. Examples include the monastic Order of Saint Clare founded in 1212 in the Franciscan tradition, or the Missionaries of Charity founded in 1950 by Mother Teresa to care for people living in grave poverty.

SUMMARY
=======
Christian monasticism is the devotional practice of individuals who live ascetic and typically cloistered lives that are dedicated to Christian worship. It began to develop early in the history of the Christian Church, modeled upon scriptural examples and ideals, including those in the Old Testament, but not mandated as an institution in the scriptures. It has come to be regulated by religious rules (e.g. the Rule of Saint Augustine, Anthony the Great, St Pachomius, the Rule of St Basil, the Rule of St Benedict,) and, in modern times, the Canon law of the respective Christian denominations that have forms of monastic living. Those living the monastic life are known by the generic terms monks (men) and nuns (women). The word monk originated from the Greek monachos monk, itself from monos meaning alone.Monks did not live in monasteries at first, rather, they began by living alone, as the word monos might suggest. As more people took on the lives of monks, living alone in the wilderness, they started to come together and model themselves after the original monks nearby. Quickly, the monks formed communities to further their ability to observe an ascetic life. According to Christianity historian Robert Louis Wilken, By creating an alternate social structure within the Church they laid the foundations for one of the most enduring Christian institutions . . . Monastics generally dwell in a monastery, whether they live there in community (cenobites), or in seclusion (recluses).
