St Alexei's Russian Memorial Church was built in 1913 in the same year than the Völkerschlachtdenkmal for the 100 year anniversary of the Battle of Nations, in which Russian troops and their European allies had fought against Napoleon's army.October 1913, the church was dedicated to the memory of the 22,000 Russian soldiers who had fallen in the battle.

a)Beucha is a town 15 km from Leipzig - the place of the volcanoes - today I was there. Kirchberg has the only catholic village church, St. Ludwigskapelle, in the Leipzig region. This due to the many Bavarian´s who carved the granite hill that forms the floaded Beucha grove.

b)There is still a running stone quarry in Beucha, which is working with machines since 1884, nowadays the biggest stones removed of the valley are dated with spray paint.

c)This object is standing next to the floaded quarry, I believe it was used as a tool to transport rocks from the bottom of the valley.

Road to Völkerschlachtdenkmal

2011-11-30T11:11:00.000-08:00

I picked up my new friend Carlos from the Institute for the Science of Religion at the library, he bikes lo-fi as my friend Nico would say, I imagine he doesn´t have a phone or computer. The Dutch concept of biking side by side doesn't work for us, he shows me the way. He is going to drop me at the once greatest monument of Europe: The Monument to the Battle of the Nations. The monument commemorates Napoleon's defeat at the battle of Leipzig in 1813. The battle involved over 600,000 soldiers, making it the largest battle in Europe prior to World War I. Carlos lives in Europe but is from Latin America, he likes it better here, we are going to a Bach concert on his tomb on Saturday. On our way I am thinking about the volcanoes in Beucha that where spitting fire 270 Million years ago, due to their lava, rocks of granite porphyry were formed in red, green and grey scales. Beuchaer Granitporphyr which is used among the construction materials for the monument I am going to visit, is composed of minerals I used to work with. I feel at home again.
