Water Tower, Mannheim, Baden-Württemberg. November 2023 This tower is a typical Mannheim motif. A bit cliched to sketch it but it was comfy and tasty in Bäcker Görtz and I added some traffic lights.

Shrove Monday/Güdismontag

This year, Shrove Monday will be observed on February 20. The day, also known as “Collop Monday”, “Rose Monday”, “Merry Monday”, or “Hall Monday,” is an annual Christian holiday that is observed on the Monday before Ash Wednesday. The day is celebrated with carnival parades and floats that often satirize a culture’s habits or people, national and international public figures, recent events, and taboo subjects. Marching bands and local associations are also a part of these parades. The parades are visited by spectators and some may even receive media coverage. Spectators at the parade also dress as mythical or political figures, thus adding to the merriment of the day.

History of Shrove Monday

The origins of Shrove Monday are not entirely clear. However, the traditions around the carnival and parades may have begun over two thousand years ago by the Romans. In these carnivals, it wasn’t uncommon to see the servants and slaves playing the role of masters and dressing up like them. Fast forward to today, the tradition continues with people dressing up as local and international public figures while satirizing them.

Shrove Monday also signals the end of the period before ‘Lent’ for many Christians. Until Easter, Christians observe a period called Lent. Some might even choose to fast or spend more time praying during the Shrovetide week. Several Christians give up meat, sugar, eggs, and alcohol during this period. The fast or abstinence is broken by consuming these food products during the carnivals.

The day is sometimes called “Collopy Monday” in the U.K. owing to a traditional meal eaten for breakfast on the day — collops of bacon eaten with an egg. Whereas in east Cornwall, Shrove Monday is known as “Paisen Monday” or “Peasen Monday”, in honor of the pea soup that is eaten on this day. Shrove Monday is a popular holiday in numerous countries. It is part of the Carnival calendar in Greece, and in many Caribbean countries, it is known as “Carnival Monday” — thus starting the Carnival season. In the Americas, Shrove Monday is more popular as “Luni Gras” or “Fat Monday”. In Lucerne it's called "Güdismontag". Güdis is an old word for stomach and Montag is Monday. It's the last Monday to fill your stomach with all the good eats before the Lent starts on Wednesday.

It appears that almost every culture has its version of Shrove Monday!

Wie soll der Wasserturm am Ostkreuz heißen?

Die Berliner haben so ihre Eigenheiten. So geben sie markanten Gebäuden oft andere Namen, z. B. "die schwangere Auster" - das Haus der Kulturen der Welt oder "die Waschmaschine" - das Bundeskanzleramt. Doch wie sieht am Ostkreuz aus. Der Wasserturm prägt weithin sichtbar das Bild des Bahnhofs und ist Teil der Silhouette von der angrenzenden Victoriastadt im Stadtteil Rummelsburg, das im Bezirk Berlin-Lichtenberg liegt. Doch gibt es für dieses Bauwerk aus dem vergangenen Jahrhundert auch eine Bezeichnung der Berliner? Macht mit und gebt dem markanten und einprägsamen Turm am Ostkreuz einen Namen, der sich ins Berlinerische einfügen kann. Der Name des Wasserturms wird von uns ausgelost.

Tarnobrzeg - wieża ciśnień

W Tarnobrzegu została zbudowana w roku 1972 bardzo interesująca wieża ciśnień. Wieża ciśnień została wzniesiona z żelbetu i wizualnie przypomina kielich. Obiekt stoi przy ulicy Ferdynanda Rusinowskiego i jest bardzo rozpoznawalny przez mieszkańców. Grzyb, bo tak kolokwialnie nazywają wodną wieże mieszkańcy Tarnobrzega, jest wysoki na prawie 41 metrów, natomiast aby wejść na sam szczyt, trzeba pokonać 180 stopni schodów. Wieża ciśnień może zmagazynować 950 m3 wody. Zdjęcie wykonał - Maciej Nux
