This year we install 2 parallel streams from the Brauereiteiche in Weimar Ehringsdorf (brewery ponds). One stream listens through a stereo-pair of airborn omni-directional microphones. The other through hydrophone from within on of the two ponds: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brauereiteiche_Ehringsdorf. What follows are translated quote from this information from the city Weimar on the renaturalization project of the ponds: https://stadt.weimar.de/de/brauereiteiche-ehringsdorf-sanierung-und-entschlammung.html : "these two ponds, the so-called brewery ponds, were originally created by the brewery of the Heydenreich manor for ice production. However, they lost this function for the brewery after the introduction of mechanical refrigeration. We are group of staff and students from the Acoustic Ecologies and Experimental Radio department at the Bauhaus-University. The cooperative project radio.earth.Weimar was initiated in SoSe24 by Udo Noll and Kerstin Ergenzinger including students as a teaching, mediation, and artistic research initiative at the Bauhaus University Weimar, as part of the community of the international, participatory radio art project radio.earth. |
The streams are placed close to two renaturalized ponds, former "Brauereiteiche" - 50°57'28.6"N 11°21'09.0"E - ponds of the close by brewery in Weimar district Ehringsdorf. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brauereiteiche_Ehringsdorf.

However, they lost this function for the brewery after the introduction of mechanical refrigeration.“ The whole area south-east from Weimar Ehringsdorf is ecologically, culturally and historically really interesting. There are as floodplain vegetations and meadows part of that area as also the left natural springs called Kipperquellen: "the only karst springs in Weimar's urban area that are still in a near-natural state." https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kipperquellen. Ehringsdorf https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ehringsdorf area also contains historically, culturally and economically important former sweet water travertine quarries, during the extraction of which special archaeological finds were made. https://www.weimar-lese.de/sehenswuerdigkeiten/oertlichkeiten/travertinsteinbruch-weimar-ehringsdorf/ https://alt-thueringen.de/museum/archaeologisches-freigelaende-weimar-ehringsdorf/ One stream with the omni-mics is placed about hip-high in a tree close to the water, the other with the hydrophone inside the pond.
