Inhalt:<\/strong><\/p>

Gebaut von einem j\u00fcdischen Industriellen aus b\u00f6hmen; durch einen Wehrmachtsgeneral vor der Zerst\u00f6rug bewahrt; schlie\u00dflich von Shirley Temple und anderen US-Botschaftern mit neuen Glanz versehen - das ist die Geschichte des Petschek-Palais, eines der ber\u00fchmtesten Geb\u00e4ude der Stadt Prag. Norman Eisen erz\u00e4hlt mit viel Charme die spannende Geschichte dieses Hauses, das den ersten und Zweiten Weltkrieg ebenso \u00fcberdauerte, wie die \u00c4ra des Kommunismus und den Prager Fr\u00fchling und schlie\u00dflich die R\u00fcckkehr der Demokratie erlebte.

Rezension:<\/strong><\/p>

Vergleichsweise wenig Kriegssch\u00e4den hatte Prag nach dem ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges zu verzeichnen und so erz\u00e4hlen die Geb\u00e4ude der tschechischen Hauptstadt noch heute viel von der Geschichte, die sie pr\u00e4gten. <\/p>

Besonders bemerkenswert dabei sind nat\u00fcrlich die Br\u00fccken oder die Prager Burg, doch auch abseits dieser lassen sich einige Bauten entdecken, die die Historie wiederspiegeln. dazu geh\u00f6ren die f\u00fcr die tschechische Industriellenfamilie Petschek vom Architekten Max Spielman entworfenen in jedem Fall dazu. Das ber\u00fchmteste Geb\u00e4ude dient heute den ans\u00e4ssigen US-Botschafter als Residenz. Einer hat die Geschichte des Hauses ergr\u00fcndet.<\/p>

Architekturgeschichte als Sachbuch kann zuweilen trocken sein, funktioniert am besten aus der Betrachtung ihrer Bewohner heraus und in diesem vorliegenden Werk nimmt sich Norman Eisen, Ex-Pr\u00e4sident Obamas' Mann f\u00fcr Tschechien, die Zeit, diese minuti\u00f6s zu beleuchten. In wie weit spiegelt dieses architektonisch viel geachtete Geb\u00e4ude die Geschichte und Geschehnisse der Stadt wieder, und wie haben die Bewohner, vom Erbauer bis zur legend\u00e4ren US-Botschafterin Shirley Temple gewirkt, um eben jenes zu erhalten?<\/p>

Intensiv in Tageb\u00fcchern, Memoiren recherchiert, erschlie\u00dft sich hier ein gewaltiges St\u00fcck Geschichte, welche aufgedr\u00f6selt wird, so wie man ein Geb\u00e4ude erbaut. Eben von den Fundamenten an bis zur Dachspitze. Mit leichten L\u00e4ngen wird erz\u00e4hlt, wie kleinste Gesten Geschichte machten, immer be\u00e4ugt von den Prager B\u00fcrgern, nicht selten in den H\u00e4nden der Bewohner des Hauses.<\/p>

So umfangreich wie manche Personenbiografie zeigen sich die Rechercheergebnisse des Autoren, dessen Liebe zum Detail zu strapazieren vermag, im letzten Moment jedoch das lesende Publikum wieder einf\u00e4ngt, sp\u00e4testens dann, wenn die kleinen und oft gr\u00f6\u00dferen Dramen dargestellt werden. Das muss man jedoch m\u00f6gen. Sonst ist dies ein lesenswertes Werk.<\/p>
