RAPPERSWIL CASTLE-TOUR INSIDE AND THE ROSE GARDEN -NORTH SWITZERLAND. PART 2
The Polish Museum, Rapperswil, was founded in Rapperswil, Switzerland, on 23 October 1870, by Polish Count Władysław Broel-Plater, at the urging of Agaton Giller, as a refuge for [Poland's] historic memorabilia dishonored and plundered in the [occupied Polish] homeland and for the promotion of Polish interests.[1]
The Polish Museum is housed in the Rapperswil Castle, atop that town's Herrenberg. Erected in the 12th century by Count Rudolf of Rapperswil, the castle passed, together with the town, into the hands of the Habsburgs. Rapperswil became a free city (Freie Reichsstadt) in 1415, and eventually joined the Swiss Confederation. Over the course of time, the castle fell into disrepair.
In the second half of the 19th century, the castle was leased for 99 years from the local authorities by a post-November 1830 Uprising Polish émigré, Count Władysław Broel-Plater (a relative of Emilia Plater, a heroine of the same 1830 Uprising), who had been in Switzerland since 1844. At his own expense he restored the castle, and on 23 October 1870, opened there the Polish National Museum.[2]
Except for two hiatuses (1927–36, 1952–75), the Museum has existed to the present day—an outpost of Polish culture in Switzerland, a country which, over the past two centuries, has given refuge to generations of Poles.

Chopin's signature
Frédéric François Chopin (UK: /ˈʃɒpæ̃/, US: /ʃoʊˈpæn/,[1][2] French: [ʃɔpɛ̃], Polish: [ˈʂɔpɛn]; 1 March 1810 – 17 October 1849) was a Polish composer and virtuoso pianist of the Romantic era who wrote primarily for solo piano. He has maintained worldwide renown as a leading musician of his era, one whose poetic genius was based on a professional technique that was without equal in his generation.[3]
Chopin was born Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin in the Duchy of Warsaw and grew up in Warsaw, which in 1815 became part of Congress Poland. A child prodigy, he completed his musical education and composed his earlier works in Warsaw before leaving Poland at the age of 20, less than a month before the outbreak of the November 1830 Uprising. At 21, he settled in Paris. Thereafter—in the last 18 years of his life—he gave only 30 public performances, preferring the more intimate atmosphere of the salon. He supported himself by selling his compositions and by giving piano lessons, for which he was in high demand. Chopin formed a friendship with Franz Liszt and was admired by many of his other musical contemporaries (including Robert Schumann). In 1835, Chopin obtained French citizenship. After a failed engagement to Maria Wodzińska from 1836 to 1837, he maintained an often troubled relationship with the French writer Amantine Dupin (known by her pen name, George Sand). A brief and unhappy visit to Majorca with Sand in 1838–39 would prove one of his most productive periods of composition. In his final years, he was supported financially by his admirer Jane Stirling, who also arranged for him to visit Scotland in 1848. For most of his life, Chopin was in poor health. He died in Paris in 1849 at the age of 39, probably of pericarditis aggravated by tuberculosis.
All of Chopin's compositions include the piano. Most are for solo piano, though he also wrote two piano concertos, a few chamber pieces, and some 19 songs set to Polish lyrics. His piano writing was technically demanding and expanded the limits of the instrument: his own performances were noted for their nuance and sensitivity. Chopin invented the concept of instrumental ballade. His major piano works also include mazurkas, waltzes, nocturnes, polonaises, études, impromptus, scherzos, preludes and sonatas, some published only posthumously. Among the influences on his style of composition were Polish folk music, the classical tradition of J.S. Bach, Mozart, and Schubert, and the atmosphere of the Paris salons of which he was a frequent guest. His innovations in style, harmony, and musical form, and his association of music with nationalism were influential throughout and after the late Romantic period.
Chopin's music, his status as one of music's earliest superstars, his (indirect) association with political insurrection, his high-profile love-life, and his early death have made him a leading symbol of the Romantic era. His works remain popular, and he has been the subject of numerous films and biographies of varying historical fidelity.
RAPPERSWIL SWITZERLAND
2008.06.18 RAPPERSWIL,SWITZERLAND. Rapperswil is located on the east shore of Lake Zurich. It is sometimes referred to as Rappi. The old city is dominated by the castle. The town is considered one of the most significant traffic junctions in the region. The Seedamm, a dam across Lake Zurich, links Rapperswil with Pfäffikon on the other side of the lake. This connection has been part of old pilgrimage routes. The town's main sights are concentrated in the centre and can be seen while strolling through the medieval alleys. The main sights of Rapperswil are its roses, the castle, the reconstructed wooden bridge to Hurden with its bridge chapel, and a Capuchin monastery. There are also a number of churches, chapels, and the nearby Wurmsbach Abbey. Rapperswil is often referred to as the town of roses (Rosenstadt) because of its extensive displays of roses in three designated parks. No less than 15,000 plants of 600 different kinds may be viewed between June and October. There is also a rose garden in the town center, accessible to blind and disabled people. The Rapperswil castle probably dates to the 13th century. Perched atop a hill, it dominates the old town. Deer are kept on lands surrounding the castle. Since 1870 it has been home to the National Polish Museum, created by Polish emigrés (including the castle's lessee and restorer, Count Władysław Broel-Plater).

Poles take refuge in Switzerland
About 12,000 Polish soldiers fled to Switzerland in 1940. They had been fighting on the side of the allies when the Germans conquered France. The Poles were interned and used as manual labour at a time when many Swiss men were away in the army. The Polish Museum in Rapperswil organised a reunion of former Polish internees and their offspring, to shed more light on this period of history. (SF/swissinfo.ch)

Duc ( YT=YamD) plays on keyboard The Beginning composed by Nikos Ignatiadis. This song is also known as Waarom fluister ik je naam nog from Benny Neyman. More music from Duc is here:
No streams of importance flow into the lake besides the Linth.The Seedamm, a partially artificial causeway and bridge, crosses a narrow point of the lake carrying a railway line and road from Rapperswil to Pfäffikon. The eastern section of the lake is known as the Obersee, German for upper lake. West of this dam lie the small islands of Lützelau and Ufenau, where in 1523 Ulrich von Hutten took refuge and died. Both shores are well cultivated and fertile. Another touristic destination is the Au peninsula at the village of Au between Wädenswil and Horgen.

Lake Zurich, Canton of Zurich, Switzerland, Europe
Lake Zürich is a lake in Switzerland, extending southeast of the city of Zürich. It is also known as the Lake of Zürich. It lies approximately at co-ordinates 47°15′N 8°41′E. Zürichsee is strictly the name of the part of the lake downstream of the dam at Rapperswil, mostly located within the canton of Zürich. The part upstream of the Rapperswil dam is called Obersee, and is shared between the cantons of St. Gallen and Schwyz. Geographically, Lake Zürich is located in the southwestern part of the canton of Zürich. To the east separated by Zürichberg-Adlisberg, Forch and Pfannenstiel are two minor lakes: Greifensee (Lake Greifen) and Pfäffikersee (Lake Pfäffikon). Zimmerberg and the Etzel regions lie to the west. Lake Zürich is formed by the river Linth, which rises in the glaciers of the Tödi Range in Glarus and was diverted by the Escher canal (completed in 1811) into Lake Walen from where its waters are carried to the east end of Lake Zürich by means of the Linth canal (completed in 1816). The waters of the Lake of Zürich flow out of the lake at its north-west end, passing through the city of Zürich; however, the outflow is then called the Limmat. No streams of importance flow into the lake besides the Linth. It is included, or the greater portion, in the Canton of Zürich, but at its easterly end about 20 square kilometres (8 sq mi) towards the southern shore are in Canton of Schwyz, and 10 square kilometres (4 sq mi) towards its northern shore in Canton of St. Gallen. The large masonry dam (the Seedamm), carrying a railway line and road from Rapperswil to Pfäffikon, divides the lake. The eastern section of the lake is known as the Obersee, German for upper lake. West of this dam lie the small islands of Lützelau and Ufenau, where in 1523 Ulrich von Hutten took refuge and died. Both shores are well cultivated and fertile. Another touristic destination is the Au peninsula at the village of Au between Wädenswil and Horgen. The three population and transportation centres are Zürich, Pfäffikon SZ and Rapperswil.
Besides Bürkliplatz in Zürich and the Seedamm, there are no bridges across the lake. The Zürichsee-Schifffahrtsgesellschaft the Lake Zürich Navigation Company provides with its 17 passenger ships touristic services on Lake Zürich. There are a number of passenger ferry services, noticeably the Horgen--Meilen ferry, an auto ferry between Horgen and Meilen. Zürich, at the north-western end of the lake, is the largest city on Lake Zürich.
On the west shore (which gradually becomes the south shore) are Thalwil, Horgen, Wädenswil, Richterswil, Pfäffikon, and Lachen.
On the opposite shore are Küsnacht, Meilen, Stäfa, and Rapperswil-Jona with the medieval town of Rapperswil, whose castle is home to the Polish museum. Schmerikon is close to the east end of the lake, and a little further east is the larger town of Uznach. Lake Zürich's water is very clean and reaches, during summer, temperatures well beyond 20 °C (68 °F). Swimming in the public baths and beaches is very popular. The lake's water is purified and fed into Zürich's water system; it is potable.

Rapperswil
Overlooking the town, the Rapperswil castle is perched high on a hill and is home to a Polish museum. This top spot additionally offers visitors breathtaking views of the lakeside surroundings. Rapperswil earns its name as the town of roses owing to the more than 16,000 roses that flower in the rose gardens of the Capuchin monastery and on the Schanz. The latter is a rose garden for the blind with particularly fragrant roses, the names of which are written in brail on guide panels.
Zwei Jubiläen prägten im Polenmuseum in Rapperswil das Jahr 2018
Den 150. Jahrestag der Enthüllung der Barer Freiheitssäule und den 100. Jahrestag der Wiedererlangung der Unabhängigkeit Polens. Die Barer Säule wurde vom Gründer des Polenmuseums, Graf Wladysław Plater anlässlich des 100. Jahrestages der Entstehung der Konföderation von Bar im Jahre 1868 aufgestellt,.
Sie soll daran erinnern, wie wichtig die Freiheit im Leben der Völkern ist. Sie zeugt gleichzeitig von 150 Jahren Anwesenheit der Polen in der Schweiz.
Das Polenmuseum in Rapperswil ist dazu berufen die beiden Jahrestage feierlich zu begehen, denn das hier 1870 gegründete Nationalmuseum (Polenmuseum) spielte bei der Popularisierung der Freiheitsidee, bei den Bemühungen zur Erlangung der Unabhängigkeit Polens sowie in der Bildung der künftigen wirtschaftlichen und intellektuellen Eliten im wieder erstandenen Polen eine ganz besondere Rolle.
Das Polenmuseum organisierte zu diesem Jubiläum eine Konferenz unter dem Titel «Magna Res Libertas – auf dem Weg zur Unabhängigkeit», die vom 20. – 23. Juni 2018 stattfand.
Ziel der Konferenz war es, an die Geschichte des Freiheitskampfes zu erinnern. Dabei ging es nicht so sehr um den bewaffneten Kampf als vielmehr um die Tradition des Freiheitsgedankens. Beleuchtet wurden die staatsbildende Funktion dieser Tradition, wie sie in den europäischen Völkern über die Jahrhunderte hinweg in der Literatur und in der Publizistik entstanden ist.
Der Eröffnung der Konferenz ging gemäss einer langen Tradition die Heilige Messe voraus. Sie wurde von Bischof Krzysztof Zadarko, der eigens angereist kam, zelebriert. Mitzelebranten waren: Bruder Hesso Hösli vom benachbarten Kapuzinerkloster (OFMCap), Pfarreibeauftragte der Pfarrei St. Johann, Franz Pranzl, sowie Priester Grzegorz Piotrowski, der die polnische Mission in Zürich vertrat. Die musikalische Gestaltung der Liturgie wurde vom Rapperswiler Jodlerclub und der Jugendfolkloregruppe „Vivat-Orchester“ aus Sieraków bei Posen übernommen.
Nach der Messe gab es eine Präsentation des Filmes von Rafael Lewandowskis Away from the orchestra über das Leben und wirken von Zygmunt Lubicz Zaleski.
Die offizielle Eröffnung der Konferenz fand am Donnerstag, den 21. Juni statt - die Gastreferate wurden gehalten von:
Andre Holenstein, Professor an der Universität Bern, Andrzej Nowak Professor von der Jagiellonen-Universität, Professor Włodzimierz Suleja vom Institut für Nationales Gedenken. Professor Dr. Pierre Zaleski, vertrat die Polnische Bibliothek und die Gesellschaft für Literatur und Geschichte in Paris.
Zwei Tage lang hatten wir Gelegenheit, Historiker und Literaturwissenschafter aus der Schweiz, Deutschland, Frankreich, England und Polen zu hören, die über die Geschichte des Freiheitskampfes diskutierten. Der Wert der Konferenz lag nicht nur in den perfekt vorbereiteten Referaten der Wissenschafter, sondern auch in den Diskussionen über des Freiheitssbegriffs in verschiedenen historischen Perioden und Nationen mit unterschiedlichen historischen Erfahrungen.
