Monuments in Spandau

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The monuments in Spandau were created relatively late in what is now Berlin's district , as the city on the Havel as an agricultural town had little tax revenue. Although the number of residents increased as a result of the expansion of the armaments factories, the income remained low, as the army workshops did not have to pay any trade tax. The oldest monuments in Spandau are clearly oriented towards the function of the city as a garrison town ( war memorials ). It was not until later that personal monuments of the Elector, Emperor and Imperial Chancellor were added.

Definitions

Monuments are artistically designed monuments or structures (statues, statues, sculptures, steles , wayside shrines , memorial stones, stumbling blocks ) that were created with the aim of commemorating a historical event or anniversary, a custom or individual or several historical personalities to remember in public. As a rule, they have inscriptions or tablets.

The monuments in this list do not include cemetery grave monuments for individual persons, architectural or ground monuments according to the Berlin Monument Protection Act or natural monuments according to the Berlin Nature Protection Act . Artistic sculptures in public spaces that were not erected to commemorate (“ art in architecture ”) are also not considered to be monuments . These sculptures are described under Sculptures in Spandau .

A memorial plaque is understood here to mean inscriptions, written tablets or picture panels that are also intended to publicly remind of a historical event or anniversary, a custom or individual or several historical personalities without being erected in connection with a monument. These can also be individual tablets that are attached to a simple stone that is not particularly artistically designed.

The memorial plaques do not include inscriptions or tablets that are merely explanatory (e.g. about the construction history of a building).

In the headings of the individual monuments and memorial plaques, the respective year of construction - if known - is given in brackets.

Cultural monuments (or architectural, garden and ground monuments), within the meaning of the Berlin Monument Protection Act, are in the lists of cultural monuments for the individual districts of the district: Spandau , Haselhorst , Siemensstadt , Staaken , Gatow , Kladow , Hakenfelde , Falkenhagener Feld and Wilhelmstadt .

On this day, Elector Joachim II received the Lord's Supper in the St. Nikolai Church from the Brandenburg bishop Matthias von Jagow in both forms , that is, with bread and wine, with which he announced the conversion to the Lutheran creed. On the occasion of the 350th anniversary, the monument to Elector Joachim II was erected in front of the church portal of St. Nikolai Church in 1889. The three-meter-high statue ( bronze ) on a four-meter-high pedestal of polished Swedish granite was made by the sculptor Professor Erdmann Encke created and in the Lauchhammer art and bell foundry cast. It was also called the Reformation Monument.

This monument shows Albrecht the Bear (approx. 1100–1170), the founder of the Mark Brandenburg . The approx. 2.5 meter high sculpture stands in the courtyard of the Spandau Citadel on an approx. 1.5 meter high base.

Inscription (base front, text in capital letters ): Albrecht / Der / Baer / 1100–1170

The monument was originally a monument group, together with busts of Bishop Wigger of Brandenburg and Bishop Otto von Bamberg , part of the world-famous Monument Street, which Kaiser Wilhelm II had laid out from 1898 to 1901 in the former Siegesallee in the Tiergarten . It led from Kemperplatz on the southern edge of the Tiergarten to the Victory Column, which at that time stood on Königsplatz near the Reichstag building . Margrave Albrecht was the main figure of the first of 32 monument groups of the rulers of Brandenburg and Prussia, with which the history of Brandenburg and Berlin was to be remembered. In the Berlin vernacular the venerable statues were called "dolls". The popular saying "... stay up until the dolls ..." referred to this and meant having to stay up late, because an evening rendezvous on Siegesallee could take a long time due to the distance to the then city center.

As early as 1938, the figures were removed from their original place because they stood in the way of Albert Speer during his gigantic transformation of Berlin into the “ world capital Germania ”. The second location, the large Sternallee, was also removed after the monuments were dismantled in 1950. It was not until the 1980s that the monument to Albrecht the Bear reached the citadel.

The monument group was erected by Walter Schott , and the unveiling took place on May 6, 1898. The bishops belonging to this monument group have been stored in the Spandau Citadel since May 2009 .

Memorial stone of the howitzer battery Baumgarten (1906)

The monument consisted of a 75 cm high square granite block with a side length of 40 cm and a tent-like top.

It bears the inscription : The howitzer battery / Baumgarten / in memory, / which from this point / on April 18, 1813 / set fire to the Citadelle / and brought about the liberation / Spandau / from the French yoke /. (See illustration)

The memorial stone, which was newly fenced in in August 1924 and planted with four trees, was placed in the historically incorrect location at the transition to the south curtain of the citadel in 1977 (not accessible in June 2010). According to tradition, the actual location of the Baumgarten battery was between Ruhleben and Spandauer Berg ( Charlottenburg ), around one kilometer east of the location of the memorial stone. Measurements based on old maps and reports had shown the location of the memorial stone selected in 1906 as the center of the extensive battery positions.

Wall dead monument Willi Block in Staaken Kreuz.jpg

Willi Block (born June 5, 1934) was shot on February 7, 1966 in Staaken , near the border crossing point, while trying to escape. He was able to advance as far as the barrier ditch when, at around 4 p.m., two border guards spotted him on the watchtower and, after a warning shot, directed targeted shots at him and asked him to return. But Willi Block could not comply with the request because his clothes got caught in the barbed wire.

The commander of the 34th NVA border regiment, who had rushed to the escape point,  fired a few shots with his pistol at the refugee who was stuck in the barbed wire, then took a submachine gun and fired several volleys at the defenseless man, who was fatally hit. On April 25, 1997, the commander was finally sentenced to three years in prison for manslaughter in the less serious case.

It is worth mentioning the fact that Willi Block had already twice on January 13, 1962 and on August 18, 1962, d. H. Fled to West Berlin shortly after the Wall was built, but returned to the GDR both times after a short time.

Staaken was divided by a border that manifested itself drastically with the construction of the wall on August 13, 1961. Now the village church was directly on the demarcation line on the western side, in the area administered by the GDR. It was inaccessible to the residents of West Berlin, but it could still serve as a parish church for the residents of West Staaken. As part of the Unification Treaty , Staaken, which had become an independent municipality in the Potsdam district after 1961, was reintegrated into the Spandau district.

The pressure of the explosion was so strong that even in the old town numerous houses were damaged; 21 people died in the accident. Between 1692 and 1700, the destroyed cavalier of the Crown Prince bastion was rebuilt; the cost was around 300,000  thalers . To commemorate this event, a sandstone memorial stone was placed as a wall plaque in the left flank courtyard of the Kronprinz bastion.

Inscription : Anno 1691 d. August 31st at the government of Friedrich D. G., third elector of Brandenburg, the thunderstorm hit the electoral fortifications and set fire to 964 quintals of powder, which smashed all the vaults to the ground and caused great damage. 21 people lost their lives, ten of whom found their graves under the stones.

The inscription, which is no longer legible today due to the weathering, is reproduced from Otto Kontzemüller, Documentary History of the City and Fortress Spandau from the Development of the City to the Present, Berlin-Spandau 1928, p. 51.

The oval, baroque sandstone plaque is protected from the weather in the Spandau City History Museum (citadel, commandant's house). A bronze replica is located above a gate passage at the Kronprinz bastion (illustration).

Border memorial board Staaken 2009.jpg

Two memorial plaques on the street are intended to commemorate the opening of the Wall on November 10, 1989, which on that day also led to the opening of the barriers at the Staaken border crossing point . The large metal signs (on both sides of the street, labeled on both sides) were originally set up in November 2009 by the Brandenburg authorities on Bundesstraße 5 in the area of Dallgow , directly on the border with Spandau. So they were in a historically wrong place, because the border crossing point was about 1.5 kilometers to the east, as the Staaken district of Spandau was divided between 1951 and 1990 and the western part belonged to the GDR as the Staaken municipality .

Memorial plaqueSternbergPromenadeSpandau.JPG

A memorial plaque, which was unveiled on April 17, 2016, is dedicated to the Jewish Sternberg family, their importance for Spandau and their fate during the time of the National Socialist dictatorship. The Sternberg family was one of the most influential Jewish families in Spandau for almost two centuries. Your textile shop "MK Sternberg" had been an integral part of Spandau's business life since the middle of the 19th century. Persecution by the National Socialists led to the loss of the business and ultimately to the escape to South America in 1938.

The section of the riverside path on the Havel between the Juliusturmbrücke and the Dischingerbrücke has been called the “Sternbergpromenade” since November 2014. In 2016, the Spandau district office set up an information board in addition to the road signs.

Stumbling blocks

Stumbling blocks are raised paving stones made of brass with an edge length of about 10 cm, which are reminiscent of victims of the Nazi dictatorship and are placed at the same level in the sidewalks before their last self-chosen place of residence. The names and biographical data of the victims, the time of deportation and the place of deportation are engraved on its surface. The initiator of the Stolpersteine ​​financed by private donations is the Cologne sculptor Gunter Demnig , who also designs and personally installs them.

Former monuments and plaques

During the Second World War , the district did not experience losses of memorials directly through the effects of the war, but through so-called “non-ferrous metal collections”, officially “ metal donations of the German people ”, with which the high demand for metals for war production was to be covered. Already by decree of August 28, 1939, the Berlin district authorities had to report monuments and sculptures made of bronze or copper that were suitable for a metal donation. 16 monuments, sculptures and fountains were reported for Spandau. On May 3, 1941, the district offices received a list of the objects to be melted down. The specific art objects were then demolished and melted down between September 8 and October 20, 1942. On December 12, 1944, the meltdown was officially ended. The following monuments have been dismantled or destroyed:

Memorial of the Infantry Shooting School Ruhleben (1872)

The memorial, inaugurated on March 22, 1872 (see Anzeiger für das Osthavelland, July 23, 1872) was erected in memory of the fallen comrades (today dismantled / destroyed?).

Memorial to those who fell in the German Unification Wars (1876)

The funds for the erection of the monument, which at the time cost 6300  marks, came largely from donations from the residents of Spandau. The memorial was originally designed by the sculptor Ernst Herter and was to be made from Swedish granite by the Berlin granite grinding company Kessel & Röhl ; however, the draft was never implemented. The opening, originally planned for September 2, 1875, had to be postponed by one year to September 2, 1876, as the granite ordered arrived late in Berlin and a legal dispute over the monument had also sparked. On September 2, 1875, only the foundation stone was laid.

In the case of the monument (unknown sculptor) executed by the Berlin granite grinding company Kessel & Röhl , a two meter high square plinth made of red granite rested on a square step substructure (6 steps). On the base was a seven meter high Doric granite column, which carried a "mourning" eagle with outstretched wings made of gilded cast iron . In 1919 the eagle was replaced by an eagle made of shell limestone , which had angled wings (sculptor Paul Reichelt ), due to severe corrosion damage , which had already led to a wing falling off .

On the pedestal, the dead were listed on three stone slabs with their names and rank in gilded letters (war of 1864: 1 dead; war of 1866: 3 dead; war of 1870/1871: 29 dead).

Inscription of the board on the west side (text in capital letters ): 1864: / Thöns, Fritz, Musketier. / 1866: / Bartsch, Adolf, private. / Schröder, Friedrich, Gren. / Schneider, Albert, Muskt.
Inscription on the panel on the south side (text in capital letters ):
1870/71: / Amedes, Friedrich, Jäger. / Blume, August, Sergeant. / von Briesen, captain. / from the end, musketeer. / Glase, Hermann, Landw. / Grunow, Franz, private. / Haase, Joh. Gottl. Gust., Utfz. / Haupt, Emil, Kan. / Heise, Wilhelm, Wehrmann. / Hoffmann, Karl, musketeer. / Kraatz, Albert, NCO. / Krause, Paul, private. / from Krosigk, Major. / Sexton, August, Musketeer. / Rohne, Franz, gunner.
Inscription on the panel on the east side (text in capital letters ): 1870/71: / Lemm, Karl, Musketier. / Müller, August, Fusilier. / Perlewitz, Friedrich, pioneer. / Pohle, Gustav, musketeer. / Röttger, Carl, Wehrmann. / Ronhald, Albert, Tambour. / Schöneberg, August, musketeer. / Schultze, Fritz, volunteer. / Schulze, Friedrich, Fusilier. / Schulze, Carl, Wehrmann. / Steuer, Hermann, NCO. / Thiele, Wilhelm, fusilier. / von Wolffradt , Lieutenant Colonel. / Wringe, Carl, gunner.
The inscription on the 4th panel (front) read (text in capital letters ): Den für König / und / Vaterland / 1864 1866 1870/71 / Those who stayed / from the / parishes / of the city / Spandau.

In individual sources, the memorial is also named as the “memorial for the fallen of the parishes of Spandau”. The expression Spandau is curious because it was not until June 4, 1877 that the city name was officially spelled with “Spandau” instead of “Spandow”.

The memorial, still described in 1925, was destroyed during the Second World War.

Statue of Emperor Friedrich III. (1892)

Statue of Emperor Friedrich Spandau.jpg
Kaiser Friedrich statue Spandau around 1910.jpg

The memorial was erected after the death of Emperor Friedrich III. Erected on the initiative of the Spandau citizens loyal to the emperor and was intended to highlight the personal characteristics of the monarch, who often stayed in Spandau to hunt in the Stadtheide (today: Spandau Forest). The enormous sum of 17,000 marks was donated for the memorial  and on October 18, 1892, the birthday of the deceased emperor , an imposing memorial was unveiled in the presence of Kaiser Wilhelm II on the old town side of the Havel , at the north end of the Charlottenbrücke in the direction of the citadel become. After the demolition of the city wall in 1880, the area along the Havel was transformed into a green area with linden trees and was therefore given the name Lindenufer.

The draft of the statue came from the sculptor Albert Manthe , who had attended high school in Spandau . The 2.65 meter high statue showed the deceased emperor as field marshal in his favorite clothes of the Pasewalker cuirassier regiment with breastplate and helmet; Holding the marshal's baton in his right hand, the figure leaned on the presented saber with his left arm and looked in the direction of the Havel and Berlin. The bronze casting carried out by the Berlin royal art foundry Martin & Piltzing stood on a three-meter-high plinth made of polished red granite , which tapered towards the top; the monument was enclosed by an iron grille. Three iron plates were attached to the base:

  • left: Portrait of the imperial family in front of the house of the city forester Ganzler
  • Right: Depiction of Crown Prince Friedrich-Wilhelm, later Emperor Friedrich III., and his son Prince Heinrich taking part in the extinguishing of a forest fire that destroyed part of the Stadtheide on April 16, 1881.

Inscription on a dedication plaque: Your beloved Kaiser / Friedrich III. / in grateful memory. / The / citizenship of Spandau / 1892

At the end of the First World War in September 1918, the metal smelting memorial was planned, but was then spared. In 1926, however, the Kaiser Friedrich Memorial had to give way to the new construction of a widened Charlottenbrücke and was re-erected from 1931 to 1941 in the Schützenhof Park of the Spandauer Schützengilde in Hakenfelde . Lord Mayor i. R., Privy Councilor Friedrich Koeltze (1852–1939), inaugurated it again on October 18, 1932 with a speech.

The memorial was added to the non-ferrous metal collection during World War II.

Plehn-Stein (approx. 1898)

The monument erected by the Guard Grenadier Regiment No. 5 on Nonnendammallee, 50 meters east of Berliner Allee (later Gartenfelder Straße ), consisted of a 90 cm high, unworked boulder, the front of which was leveled for the carved inscription (illustration).

Inscription : Waldemar / Plehn / Major u. Bat. Commander / i. Guard Grenadier Regt. N.5. / † / January 15, 1898

The officer Plehn fell from his horse here and died of a broken neck. The whereabouts of the monument is unknown. As early as 1925 it was feared that the monument would be destroyed by the upcoming road construction.

Schwarzenberg monument lunette (1898)

As an extension of Mauerstraße, there was a simple memorial stone on the Havel to commemorate the former fortification "Lünen Schwarzenberg", which was donated by the merchant and local history researcher city councilor Carl Sturm . A meter high granite block was crowned by a stone bomb from the 16th century.

A bronze plaque - stolen in June 1922 - bore the inscription : Here was the Schwarzenberg lunette / 1639–1898

The whereabouts of the monument is unknown.

Statue of Prince Otto von Bismarck (1901)

Bismarck monument in Spandau

The construction of this monument was planned by the citizens of Spandau since 1890. When Otto von Bismarck died on July 30, 1898, there was a fund of 6,500  marks accumulated through donations . The sculptor Georg Meyer-Steglitz was commissioned with the production of the monument, which was inaugurated on May 10, 1901, the 30th anniversary of the peace treaty signed by Bismarck for Germany with France. The location between Schönwalder Strasse and Feldstrasse, previously popularly known as "Bürgerplatz", was officially named "Bismarckplatz". In the city forest, the forester Bein planted the "Bismarck oak" as a memorial (location unclear).

The 2.65 meter high statue of Bismarck ( cast bronze ) was on a three meter high base made of unground granite in which only the word Bismarck was carved. On the front of the base a gnarled oak tree was carved out in relief, in the foliage of which the bronze family coat of arms of the Bismarcks had been placed. The three-tier substructure of the monument was made of stones from the old fortress wall. On the left and right, massive, simple pillars delimited the substructure. The substructure carried a Gothic band with the famous words from Bismarck's speech in the Reichstag on February 6, 1888:

We Germans
fear god

but nothing else
in the world

The Bismarck statue showed him in a wrinkled coat over a uniform of the Halberstadt Cuirassier Regiment von Seydlitz, whose chief Bismarck had been. With the left hand, the figure leaned on a presented saber.

During the First World War in autumn 1918, the statue was intended to be melted down for armament purposes, but was initially retained. During the Second World War, the statue was melted down in 1942. The base was destroyed by bombs and removed after 1945.

Memorial for the 200th anniversary of the founding of the Kingdom of Prussia (1901)

The obelisk , which was erected in the street space in 1901 , was used after the end of the war in 1945 for the Staaken Soviet Memorial, which was located at the same location, and was rotated and placed on its tip.

Heine monument (around 1906)

The villa owner Wolf Wertheim had a country house built in today's Temmeweg 21 between 1905 and 1906 and a memorial for the poet Heinrich Heine erected in the then still independent municipality of Kladow .

Kaiser Wilhelm equestrian statue Spandau stairs2011.jpg

It was the only equestrian statue in Spandau. South of the garrison church , which was demolished after 1945, a 4.2 meter high base made of Beuchser granite was erected in a green area on the site of the demolished fortress wall in honor of Emperor Wilhelm I , on which the 4.5 meters designed by the sculptor Franz Dorrenbach is located high equestrian statue of the emperor (total cost 52,500  marks ).

The dedications on the base read:

Inscription (front of the base): Wilhelm / der / Große

Inscription (back of base): Erected by / the grateful / citizenry / the city / Spandau 1909

In 1930, the Spandau magistrate decided that the Kaiser Wilhelm I memorial should be left in its location, thus joining a corresponding decision by the Deputation for Art and Education. In 1942 the bronze sculpture was melted down during the Second World War and the memorial was demolished. The step substructure of the monument, also made of Beuchser granite, can still be found (as of 2018) in the original place in the green area opposite the Spandau brewery (Neuendorfer Straße 1).

Memorial stone Kaiser Wilhelm II (1913)

The cube-shaped memorial stone for Kaiser Wilhelm II, made of raw field stones , with an edge length of two meters was located in the area in front of the Spandau Citadel . Four stone balls crowned the monument at its corners. It was made in 1913 by officers from the military technical institutes in Spandau. The whereabouts of the monument still described in 1925 is unclear.

The substructure carried the inscription on a field stone : 25.11. / 1741-1916

Originally, the substructure is said to have worn signs of the order, a chaff cross and an iron cross (from 1914) to the left and right of the inscription, but these had already been removed in 1925.

Memorial column of the Guard Grenadier Regiment No. 5 (1916?)

During the First World War, the grenadiers of the 3rd and 4th companies of the Guard Grenadier Regiment No. 5 stationed in what was then the Moritz barracks had built a simple pointed pillar out of field stones. When the regiment was involved in major battles, the names of the battle sites were carved into the stones. With the demolition of the Moritz barracks in the 1920s, the monument was removed. The stones were partly used for the foundation walls of the new house at Viktoriaufer 22 at this point. There are stones with the inscription Kowno, Sowerowne (Severynow), Alexandria (Nowo-Aleksandrija), Warsaw and Praschnitz (Przasnysz).

Honor plaque dead of the First World War (1918?)

Along a 3.80-meter boulder block (15 tons) from the Odenwald were flying up 25 Bronze - carrier pigeons assembled. In 1942 the carrier pigeons (130 kg) were melted down as part of the collection of non-ferrous metals. The boulder itself overgrown and was almost forgotten. After the end of the Second World War, the Wröhmännerpark was completely redesigned, which led to its exposure. The memorial on Roonstrasse was redesigned in 1963 as a memorial for the German carrier pigeon (see above).

Inscription : Our carrier pigeons 1914–1918

Ernst Thälmann Monument (1956)

The Ernst Thälmann monument, a 2 m high gravestone-like stone made of gray granite with an embedded black polished granite slab, was erected in a green area next to the open-air stage Staaken at the time of West Staaken's membership of the GDR (unknown artist). (Illustration)

Milestones

In the 18th and 19th centuries, milestones indicated distances on the roadside, marked paths for the post office and helped to measure the roads . In the period from 1800 to 1806 all Prussian main postal routes were measured and the milestones were then set up at the most important of these postal routes. There are two milestones in Spandau that are not yet under monument protection :

Milestone Schönwalder Allee

In the Spandau city forest there used to be a sandstone obelisk on a square base from the middle of the 18th century, which is said to have been there in 1934 (see: Günther Jahn, p. 344). Nothing is known about the whereabouts of this milestone.

Milestone Seegefelder Strasse

According to a protocol from the 18th century about a trip by stagecoach to Spandau, a milestone is said to have been “on the Spandauer Amtsacker at the point where the path to Seegefeld leaves” (Spandauer Heimathefte, December 1957, p. 6). Nothing is known about the whereabouts of this milestone.

Milestone Staaken (1832)

Staaken Milestone.jpg

This post milestone is one of the few in the Berlin / Brandenburg region that has still been preserved in the original. He still has the original Prussian eagle . This makes it an important building in the history of traffic in Prussia and Spandau. In 1832 it was erected as part of the Neue Hamburger Chaussee (today's B 5 ), which was built at that time .

The milestone originally stood between the villages of Dallgow and Rohrbeck (see the Prussian original measuring table sheet from 1835), since at that time the zero point of the calculation and measurement for setting up the milestones was the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin. After the zero point for the Prussian Fernchausseen had been set on a candelabra in front of the Berlin City Palace around 1850 , the milestone was moved around 1500 meters in the direction of Berlin, southeast of Dallgow. The metric system was introduced in Germany around 1875; the whole milestones have now been implemented at intervals of ten kilometers; thus this milestone has now reached Staaken in the position “20 km to Berlin”.

During the Second World War , the house in its neighborhood was destroyed by an aerial mine , and the milestone was splintered. After a restoration in 1984 by the monument preservation department of the Nauen district (the stonemason was Holger Mey from Falkensee ), it was restored again in 2010.

The all-mile obelisk on Nennhauser Damm in Staaken, made in 1832 by the stonemason Trippel for a price of 68  thalers , is in good condition. The milestone indicates that there are still three (Prussian) miles to Berlin; the obelisk is decorated with a cast iron eagle. The distances to Spandau and Nauen are shown on the side.

Inscriptions:

III MILES to BERLIN
2½ miles to Nauen
1½ mile to Spandow

Half-mile stone Schönwalder Allee

An oak tree on Schönwalder Allee bears the name "Halbmeileneiche"; it is said to have been a half-milestone here (which no longer exists today).

Osthavelland district stone (1887)

Landkreisstein Osthavelland 2009.jpg
Landkreistein Osthavelland inscription 1988.jpg
Landkreisstein Osthavelland 2011 Restoration OSZ2.jpg

This obelisk was probably erected around 1887 (when the city of Spandau left the Osthavelland district ) as a district boundary stone at its current location; The label has the words "Landkreis Osthavelland". It is a reworked former post half-milestone made of sandstone. The stone, which weighs around 1.5 tons with a base and has been in the Spandau district since an area was exchanged with the GDR (1988), was in a desolate state in 2010. Due to the heavy weathering, especially on the back of the monument, restoration and conservation of the stone was urgently necessary; In November 2010, the Upper School Building Technology I in Berlin-Spandau started restoring the stone as part of a training project (stonemason training).

Milestone Falkenseer Damm (1960)

Milestone Falkenseer Damm Berlin-Spandau1.JPG
Milestone Falkenseer Damm Berlin-Spandau2.JPG

With the processed boulder, which is around one meter high, the distances to Falkensee and Berlin are displayed at the junction from Falkenseer Platz to Falkenseer Damm .

The stone is a foundation of the Spandauer Wirtschaftshof. Its inauguration took place on November 11, 1960
