Dear relatives and acquaintances
Dear members and friends of our family association
"Where culture breaks away, there is room for violence”. This quote from August Everding on the occasion of a Protest event of the German Stage Association in Berlin in 1993 inevitably leaves me in the Tagesschaubericht a few weeks ago with the Destruction of Syrian Cultural Heritage Revue happen. What people in elaborate and out today's perspective of almost incredible work. which have been over thousands of years Generations is given, destroy
Terrorists in a fraction of an hour.
Also remembered are the words our then founding member and Vice President Prof. dr. Joseph Stirnimann. On the occasion of various visits to Lucerne, we talked about a wide variety of social
economic topics, whereby I was then as already quite experienced primary teacher again and again the views of the younger generations brought. Many times he was able to give my comments did not understand and saw in it a dwindling of Culture.
What is it, culture, and how it is with her? Are we on a sinking boat?
When I use the term "culture" with the help of Wikipedia wants to get to the bottom of it
there stands that this term is from latin "Cultura" comes what is "cultivation, care, Agriculture ". He means the furthest Meaning everything that man himself shapes produces. This, in contrast to that of him not created and unaltered nature.
Today's "cultural achievements” to refer to Technique, fine arts te and also mental Structures and the culture beg Reef changes in the History over and over. He can refer to a group of people or overall Expressing that man through the Culture differs from the animal.
Even if you always have to be aware that all our work and creativity in the face of cosmic dimensions probably at most one small spark will be light, so I see ours Being a human species, even if we are ourselves purely biologically indistinguishable from her, yet
ranked higher than the wildlife. Our ability to take on a social responsibility can, is unique and committed to us.
Whether and in what dependencies the cultural Achievements with social responsibility
I do not like to judge. Ultimately, though I come back to the smallest group of one
social fabric back, a partnership, a Family. People who do something together to cultivate something together, which together Enjoy the fruits of life or, in other words,
People who live "cultura" according to the Latin translation. They are people who look forward to the future, but also People who are the "cultura" of the ancestors in Remember. fo for us as a family association members remain this order and obligation at the same time, and consequently it remains with us, the cultivate true values of "cultura" and to pass on to our youth so that the boat does not sink.
Our association culture includes the Family meetings, whose turn we have in recent years
Years had increased slightly. In the best memory remains the last conference in Alberswil, where we join most beautiful weather the Lucerne gastronomy enjoy the innovations of a modern,
organic agriculture. The minutes of this meeting can be found in this circular and likes all those days the beautiful, common hours to recall.
As you already have with a special Christmas card, the board has on the occasion the last session of October spontaneously decided a trip to our distant relatives in To organize Storbeck. Under the direction of Moritz Stirnimann, Lucerne, will give us this journey In mid-May 2015 lead to Germany, where we also visit the federal capital Berlin become. In the meantime around 16 Association members registered and we look forward us, the families Stirnemann in Storbeck and Welcome Neurupin on site. In the com We will brief you in the frame a travel report practice
everything in detail form.
If you want to care for something together, you need it it people. I would like to welcome you here again all board members for the great Thank you for your cooperation. I am always happy

The monk Jodokus looked in the diary
(Continuation)
Father Jost Stirnimann (monastic name Jodokus, Jodok) lived from 1654-1706, of which 36 years in Muri Monastery, AG. Attentive he pursued in the years 1695-1697 the progress of construction on today's monastery church. The original of his diary is in the archive
of the College Sarnen. In the next newsletters we publish a part of this diary. Here already the 11th episode.
On July 9, our P. Leontius returned from the spa in Walterschwil returns home, with good results.
On the 21st of July after the vespers I dropped in the hypocaust of the Tonsors of the younger Mr. Johannes, our doctor, check if I might have a break because of me for a few days a swelling on the left side in the proximity of the genitalia observed. He also found the swelling and confirmed the finding that I had something like a break, with comfort though he might
could be cured without incision. But this I could hardly believe and have little hope this healing. But God be praised in eternity.
On July 26, our abbot is in the afternoon to the spa of Pfäfers broke up. With him went our P. Laurentius. On August 9, the new walls of the building of the Masons completed and prepared for the roofs Service.
On August 11, the carpenters began the new Convention building to set up the roof structure.
On August 25, our abbot returned from the spa Home back.
On the 3rd of September fell Jacobus Brünlman, one of my servants grazing, from the roof grid auff the dilen herunder ... and suffered severe injuries and limb injuries breaks.
On September 4, the abbot appointed Fr. Laurentius to Küchenmeister, not in the chapter, but at first only private, as a substitute for our sick Joachim.
On Friday, October 10, the abbot came to the Capitulum Culparum, and after blaspheming he appointed P. Laurentius to the Archimagirus, me unworthy and contradictory aspiring but in its place to custos.
On October 15, the chapter came together and advised how and by whom the Beinwiler office is to be occupied, of a secular priest or a monk of ours Monastery. And if of a worldly, whether this of Pastor or to be chosen and appointed by us. It It has been decided that it would be better to have him from the pastor let him use, so that he undisturbed his Agreement, ***
On October 22, Henricus Frey, one of my servants, is hit shortly after four o’clock, and is

addressed.
On the 14th of December, the third Sunday of Advent, on Sunday "Gaudete", I stood out in the afternoon for the first time up to the bed. In the end I was called up again, To At Christmas I celebrated the fair in the house for the first time again the patient, but I only read two masses, the same successively. But afterwards I celebrated Mass every day. On the following New Year’s Day, I entered the Convention again and lunched there. NB: After six weeks, when I was almost for healed, appeared Whether the wounds, so healed ware, a swarming, which, however, was a bldglin, and it is from the härkame who does not nit So he healed that he was the plöstlin, or flatus interiores want to behave.

1693
On the 2nd of March the abbot re-consecrated our altar in St. Martinskirchlein of Boswil, by the thieves, the Burglary into his sanctuary and the robbery of all relics and scriptures had been desecrated. The nefarious thieves Not only had the altar of the altar been broken and the consecrated objects stolen, but also all consecrated clothes, the chasuble, the white robe,
the mourning robe, the altar cover, Miltler, too even that hardy-self, and everything else, except that it was underpowering, so obtuse and troublesome; disser diebstal was first beaten on the 22nd of February, the third Sunday of Lent. It is not amazing that something like that could happen, because the Entrance of the church, which has not been closed since its construction.
was only now secured and closed.
March 9 was a strange and memorable day for the following reason: A few days ago spoke
at the request of the doctor, Father Prior addressed the abbot and beat him before, there
that badhaußlin no longer be of use, should to build a new one, to which the abbot agreed and the
Prior applied, with the Conventua to advise on which Place of the monastery garden the best to build the house be. The prior did this on 28. February after lunch, during rest, in the hypocaust. Some of the other however, the fathers of the day were by no means of the opinion of the abbot and the prior, and most Wish the house to be somewhere else outside the To build monastery garden, as well as the house of the sick and the pharmacy so that the monastery garden would be bigger (as desired by the monks for a long time and also was promised several times by the abbot and the superiors) and could be extended to the upper wall. So Covenant and assembly would have freer and healthier air and more relaxation space. After this so decided and by Most of them were approved by some of the Fathers sent to the abbot to give him this opinion of the monks
to bring forward to humbly ask for realization these prudent decisions his paternal approval
and to give help. The abbot answered this request willingly and sustainably and promised to do the thing in the to tackle next days. So he dismissed the ambassadors full of joy in the Convention. But nothing is constantly on Earth, and as uncertain as the human counsels,
so unsettled are the intentions and hearts of the people:
Yesterday our ambassadors went and brought tears they sowed their seeds, but back they came cheering and full Hands. But alas, today our joy is in sorrow turned over, our jubilation choir in mourning song. The heart The Pharaoh has hardened, and he did not want his people to let go. On the following days came warning Seer to him, some of the conventuals went to Reverend Abbot and asked him, from his composed Resolve to come to a better understanding because, as they suggested, the previous embassy and petition was not legitimate and not of most of the chapter, and certainly not the more constant, been commissioned. So the abbot changed his
Opinion and kept his promise. As this in turn the Convention was heard, one was very confused and sent a more numerous Legation with better ones Arguments, and voted the abbot in his judgment turn around and let him stand by his promise. But afterwards he is again of the dissatisfied has been tempted, indeed has been made, to promise revoked and told our envoys that he wanted and For some reason, this must be stopped. The emissaries wanted the reason for this Attitude learned, but because they did not penetrate, called they put the entire chapter together publicly so that everyone From this it can be seen who is against it and who is against it. But as well as this can not be achieved by the envoys could, they turned to the Convention and called everyone Capitulars to the Most Venerable Abbot and brought with them most valid arguments and considerations, too to stand by his promise. After asking and asking had been satisfied with sufficient arguments, he prayed, when the greater and thee more indecent part of the chapter If he agreed, he would do whatever they asked for. This seemed to be the best of the whole convention. Around determine the corresponding match beforehand, Has man twoyerley erbs genomen white and black, and one iedem capitulari zwo gäben, a white and a black, whichever consented, he put a white secretly in but the malfents, a schwartze; To read the peas they would have another auffgerechnet, but it was only twelve times schwartz gezelet. And so it is a dangerous dispute and perishable Discord, especially between subordinates and superiors, in
Harmony, joy and laughter been changed.
On March 19th, on Maundy Thursday, I was afflicted Illness in the morning when I chorus after confession communicated during the high office. After that Highly completed and the Most Holy Sacrament in the Crypt, I went from the church to my cell, where I already felt a certain pain. Yet

Reto Stirnimann
From ice and alberghi ...
"It was 882 games that I played in the top league have played and six in the National League B.
At that time Davos was still in the Nati B and me I'm from the juniors the jump to the first one
Team done. "
882 games mean 18 yeah work on the ice, Be awake for 18 years, responsive to the run react to the puck, the fellow players see the Read the opponent's train, body to body in the Exist a duel,
Cheers and disappointment bear. Reto speaks calmly, calmly. He played in 3 big teams, 1993-99 at the HC Davos, then moved to the ZCS Lions, where he as the center with the crew the largest
Success celebrated: Swiss Champion 2000 and 2001; Winner of the Continental Cup 2001 and 2002.
The change to HC Ambri-Piotta takes place in 2007. The first season here is his best personal
Season. The team has heart like no one other; she has followers from Chiasso and the Mendrisiotto, fans from the Locarnese and from Bellinzona and from all the valleys. "Lugano is one City team; we are the ones from the mountain. And Mountain and valley do not come together and the rivalry spurs us on. Look, Ambri is a village with 300 inhabitants and we have at
sold out stadium for 6500 spectators. This is the special atmosphere of Ambri; we are a family. "
The way from Reto to Ambri begins in Davos. Here he sees on October 8, 1974, the light of World. His parents, Roland and Monika Stirni Mann-Koch moved to Davos in 1970, where
the parents still live today. Leaves after school the strong guy trained as a bricklayer and passionately plays ice hockey at the Juniors in Davos.
The ZSC Lions open up the chance for him Landwassertal and away from home. men. He is also joined by his partner Emerita Brancaleone, a suraver with sizilian roots. In September 2000,
marries. The two are given 3 children: Aaron (2001), Riana (2002) and Lino (2005).
"I like being at home, this is my place Joy, "says Reto," a strong woman who Laughing the children. "After taking his place as Team Manager and Assi stenzcoach at Ambri is canceled, the family decides to to stay in the Leventina and the “Albergo Monte Pettine ". With decisive
Giving were the children who are here too Home are the Italians who speak and the Attend schools. "We feel comfortable here Village and are welcome. "
The small hotel operation and the restaurant will be led by the family for a year. Emerita
cooks "good-bourgeois," just right for Craftsmen and hockey players who come here too
Having lunch. Reto looks after the guests together with women from the village who help out. in the Winter bring the games of HC Ambri-Piotta many guests in the restaurant, in the summer it accommodates House the tired Italy traveler from the northern Europe. But the structure of the operation demands a lot of effort, hobbies (the bike, fly fishing) are probably too short;
Emerita would like to go to the monster concert Lucerne.
In ice hockey he has learned to give everything, says Reto. Three times he played in the national team shaft. Reto sets a goal and he knows that he has to work for it. "I have this victory sake, and when I talk with the seniors of HC Ambri-Piotta is on the ice, then I want win, not just push the puck and have a nice game. That's still in me in it, even if the condition of that time away is. "What he from the 18 years hockey professional takes along? The encounters with many people
the friendships, the knowledge that you can can achieve goals with ambition and work.
Reto is proud of his family ties and his origin, which he knows too little. "It is important to know who you are, where you are from comes. We are from Old Buro. "He still was never been there; then he counts all his uncles and Aunts, his cousins and where they live. The Family is scattered all over Switzerland. Reto tells from his grandfather Isidor Stirnimann, who was born in Altbüron. He lived in Riedholz and died in 1976 when I was two years old "Unfortunately, I was too small to know him,” but I would like to ask him how it works Life had been as Verdingbub for him then.
It is still winter in the upper Livinental; Coldness strikes me when I hear the “Monte Pettine ", where I receive so warm has been. Slowly I drive to the Gotthard, my thoughts with the newly won Relatives in Ambri.
