Berndorf - Wilke

27 Nov 2019 114
When I passed through Berndorf, I stopped to take the (left) photo of the vending machine. The same day "Wilke" was in the news. After three deaths connected to Listeria-laden pizza salami and boiled sausage produced by Wilke, the production was stopped. The goods have been recalled worldwide. There had been significant hygiene deficiencies in production. Among other things, rotten meat had been mixed with fresh and gone under new packaging in the sale. The company filed for bankruptcy. The remaining stocks of existing food were destroyed. So when I passed through again about a week later the vending machine was empty (right photo), only some soft drink bottles were still in.

Trogir - Cathedral of St. Lawrence

23 May 2016 309
Trogir was founded by Greek colonists in the 3rd century BC. In Roman times this was an important harbour town. From the 9th century on Trogir was under Croatian rule and later part of the Byzantine empire. A diocese was established in the 11th century, in 1107 the Hungarian-Croatian King Coloman ("The Bookish", "Kálmán Könyves") granted the autonomy. Saracen troops conquered Trogir in 1123 and demolished most of it. From 1420 upto 1797 Trogir belonged to the Republic of Venice. For a short while it belonged to the Napoleonic kingdom of Italy, but upto 1918 Trogir was part of the Habsburg Empire. Trogir is more than 2000 years old. It grew under the influence of the ancient Greeks, the Romans, and the Venetians... Trogir's medieval core, surrounded by walls, comprises (about 10) churches, houses and palaces from the Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque periods. Since 1997 the centre of Trogir is a "UNESCO World Heritage Site". The Cathedral of St. Lawrence was erected from 1213 on the foundations of cathedral destroyed by the Saracens in 1123. Most of the work was done in the 13th century. This cathedral is world wide known for Master Radovan´s portal. The portal was carved by the local architect and sculptor Master Radovan (and his workshop). It was completed and signed by Radovan in 1240. Here are the two sides of the portal. The door posts are decorated with reliefs and two carved columns with scenes of hunting and beasts. The interior door posts are decorated with the allegories of months. On the left side are December, January and February, on the right are April and March. Her are "Labours of the Months". The pig did not survive (see previous upload), so now, sausages are produced. I´m not sure, what it poured into the butcher´s large cup. Would he drink wine or beer, while boiling the sausages - or is this the pig´s blood? Then he may just produce "black pudding".
