Theme to The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
Sample of the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain playing the main theme of the Film.
Problems playing this file? See media help. The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain (UOGB) is a British musical ensemble founded in 1985 by George Hinchliffe and Kitty Lux. The orchestra features ukuleles of various sizes and registers from soprano to bass. The UOGB performs musically faithful but often tongue-in-cheek covers of pop songs and musical pieces from a wide variety of music genres. The members of the orchestra wear evening dress and sit behind music stands, in a parody of a classical ensemble. | Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain | 2024-10-01T07:07:00 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukulele_Orchestra_of_Great_Britain# | 162 | {

The UOGB has purposely remained an independent music group, unsigned to any record label. Along with Lux and Hinchliffe, David Suich and Ritchie Williams are original members; Hester Goodman, Will Grove-White, Jonty Bankes, Peter Brooke Turner joined in the early 1990s, Leisa Rea joined in 2003, Ben Rouse in 2014 and Laura Currie in 2021. Lux died in 2017, two years after retiring from the orchestra due to chronic ill health. Over the years the UOGB has released over 30 albums, but have spent most of their time touring around the world. | Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain | 2024-10-01T07:07:00 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukulele_Orchestra_of_Great_Britain# | 147 | {

The UOGB has received critical praise from the media for its concerts. It has been called "not only a national institution, but also a world-wide phenomenon". The UOGB has also been credited with contributing to a world-wide resurgence in popularity of the ukulele and ukulele groups. | Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain | 2024-10-01T07:07:00 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukulele_Orchestra_of_Great_Britain# | 78 | {

The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain (UOGB) was formed in London in 1985 when the multi-instrumentalist and musicologist George Hinchliffe gave his friend the post-punk singer Kitty Lux a ukulele for her birthday, after she had expressed an interest in learning more about harmony. After first playing together, they purchased a few ukuleles for some of their friends, including David Suich and Richie Williams. Williams recalled that his first ukulele cost "£17 with wholesale discount". Hinchliffe named the new musical group with a deliberate oxymoron, 'The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain', "and suddenly we were the world's first ukulele orchestra." The ukulele was selected for its musical versatility rather than its novelty value. Hinchliffe informed The Chicago Tribune that the original idea included turning a derided instrument which lacked a serious repertoire of its own into a respected concert instrument. It was an "outsider instrument" with a "blank slate" that was not limited by the conventions of either classical or rock music. | Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain | Formation | 2024-10-01T07:07:00 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukulele_Orchestra_of_Great_Britain#Formation | 253 | {

} |
Hinchliffe explains to the Chicago Tribune why the Ukulele was chosen —
"It has a sweet voice, it's cheap and easy to play, and you can carry it as hand luggage" and because the ukulele has no repertory of its own "it allows us to do things that are both entertaining and creative without having to meet the technical requirements of being virtuoso classical players or image-conscious pop musicians" | Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain | Formation | 2024-10-01T07:07:00 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukulele_Orchestra_of_Great_Britain#Formation | 105 | {

Hinchliffe informed the Houston Chronicle that the post punk idea was for the orchestra to be an "antidote to pomposity, egomania, cults of personality, rip-offs, music-business-standard-operational nonsense and prima donnas," the orchestra members had previously worked in various music genres but were tired by the conventions, genre stereotyping and pretentiousness within the music industry. UOGB has remained an independent music act which has deliberately not signed to a record label. Hinchliffe stated to the Yorkshire Post the idea of the UOGB was to have bit of fun "where we're not having the agents and the managers and the record companies dictating terms." | Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain | Formation | 2024-10-01T07:07:00 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukulele_Orchestra_of_Great_Britain#Formation | 173 | {

The UOGB's first gig was at a pub near Trinity Church Square in London. Although it had been intended to be a one-off, it was a sell out, and the orchestra made an appearance on national radio soon afterwards. For a while the orchestra had a regular monthly session in the back room at the former Empress of Russia pub in Islington, London. It subsequently appeared live on BBC Radio 1 and BBC One Television, released an album and performed at WOMAD festival. Hester Goodman, Will Grove-White, Jonty Bankes, Peter Brooke Turner all joined the orchestra during the early 1990s. In 1995 the orchestra performed at the 50th anniversary of the Victory in Europe Day celebrations in London's Hyde Park before an estimated audience of 170,000. Leisa Rea joined in 2003. | Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain | History | 2024-10-01T07:07:00 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukulele_Orchestra_of_Great_Britain#History | 198 | {

For most of its existence the orchestra has toured the world, travelling to locations ranging from Spitsbergen, Svalbard in the Arctic Circle to Chongqing Taindi Theatre in China. They have performed at venues including Ronnie Scott's jazz club, The Royal Festival Hall, the UK Houses of Parliament, Cambridge Folk Festival, Edinburgh Festival, Hay Festival, Glastonbury Festival, New York's Carnegie Hall, and the Sydney Opera House. | Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain | History | 2024-10-01T07:07:00 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukulele_Orchestra_of_Great_Britain#History | 114 | {

In 2005 the orchestra planned to release their reinterpretation of Kate Bush's art pop song "Wuthering Heights" as a single. They were prevented from doing so, and instead released a prohibition-era honky-tonk rendition of "Dy-Na-Mi-Tee" (a 2002 hip hop song by Ms. Dynamite). The UOGB cover reached No. 78 in the official UK pop charts. | Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain | History | 2024-10-01T07:07:00 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukulele_Orchestra_of_Great_Britain#History | 105 | {

On Tuesday 18 August 2009 the UOGB performed a concert as part of the BBC Proms 2009 Season at London's Royal Albert Hall, where they were the fastest-selling late night prom in history. The concert included a version of Beethoven's Ode to Joy in which at least 1,000 audience members with ukuleles participated. The performance was broadcast live on BBC Radio 3 and received critical acclaim. They returned to the Albert Hall in 2012. Ben Rouse joined the UOGB in 2014. For their 2014 tour of China, the British Council described the UOGB as an orchestra "celebrated for its rapport with audiences, and eliciting a joyous feel-good reaction". In 2016 the UOGB entertained Elizabeth II at Windsor Castle at a private party to celebrate the queen's 90th birthday.
The orchestra has appeared on a wide range of television and radio programs both in the UK and internationally. The UOGB has collaborated with David Bowie, Madness, Robbie Williams, Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens), the Kaiser Chiefs, the Ministry of Sound, and the film music composer David Arnold. While the orchestra sell its albums directly from their official web site, most of their income is derived from touring, with typically over 100 concerts each year. | Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain | History | 2024-10-01T07:07:00 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukulele_Orchestra_of_Great_Britain#History | 289 | {

During the 2020-21 COVID-19 pandemic, orchestra members unable to tour due to the lockdowns and separated in their various homes released 13 music videos as a group on YouTube, called the Ukulele Lockdown series, as well as a series ukulele video tutorials and other ukulele videos, followed by five original 'The Ukulele World Service' online pay to view concerts. | Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain | Online performances during COVID-19 | 2024-10-01T07:07:00 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukulele_Orchestra_of_Great_Britain#Online%20performances%20during%20COVID-19 | 98 | {

Kitty Lux, band member and co-founder with George Hinchliffe, died on 16 July 2017, aged 59, after suffering from various chronic health issues. Lux recovered from a kidney transplant only days before the Proms concert. She retired from public performances after suffering a stroke in 2015. Some of the UOGB members display a small red and white polka dot bow-tie on their clothing or ukulele, in memory of Lux, who always wore an item of clothing with polka dots while performing. | Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain | Past members | 2024-10-01T07:07:00 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukulele_Orchestra_of_Great_Britain#Past%20members | 127 | {

A typical UOGB concert according to the New York Times is a "genre bending array" of musical covers that spans from Richard Wagner's The Ride of the Valkyries to the Sex Pistols’ Anarchy in the U.K. The Chicago Tribune reports that the orchestra is "happy to pillage anything from the rich pageant of western music" as it roams freely across the wide range of popular music and art musical genres. The Ukulele orchestra is known for reworking popular song classics, sometimes changing tunes' music genres so that the expectations of the audience are subverted. For instance, the power pop Pinball Wizard turns into a harmonized a cappella with a vaudevillian lead vocal by Hinchliffe, while the Sex Pistol's punk rock call to arms "Anarchy in the UK" is performed in the style of a Simon & Garfunkel cosy campfire sing-along folk song where the audience is encouraged to join in. The group takes George Formby's 1937 song "Leaning on a Lamp-post", but changes it into "Lenin On A Lamppost" performed in a Russian Cossack style. | Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain | Artistic style and repertoire | 2024-10-01T07:07:00 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukulele_Orchestra_of_Great_Britain#Artistic%20style%20and%20repertoire | 279 | {

The Kansas City Star considered the UOGB's medleys as "perhaps their most impressive feats, layering lyrics from disparate sources over a chord progression." Several songs from different genres are combined in one "soup of contrasts" – for example, David Bowie's "Life on Mars?" is melded seamlessly with "My Way", "For Once in My Life", "Born Free", "Substitute", and more. In another piece after a mock argument about what to play next Hinchliffe plays a solo Handel's G Minor Suite No.7 for the Harpsichord," while all the other members sing in turn different songs on top the Handel base "Fly Me To The Moon", "Love Story (Where Do I Begin)", "Autumn Leaves"," Killing Me Softly with His Song", "Hotel California" and "I Will Survive", ending with all genre variations performed simultaneously in harmony together. | Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain | Artistic style and repertoire | 2024-10-01T07:07:00 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukulele_Orchestra_of_Great_Britain#Artistic%20style%20and%20repertoire | 236 | {

All members generate ideas for new pieces and all play around with ways the piece work. The limitations of the ukulele causes the orchestra to think creatively about how to cover a musical piece, popular tunes are broken down to their constituent parts and then with each musician sticking a distinct part, the combination of different soprano, tenor, baritone and bass registers of ukuleles are used (with separate members playing the melody, others the rhythm, others chords on the beat and offbeat etc) to recreate the originals musical textured wall. The Australian stage described the UOGB cover of Wheatus' pop rock "Teenage Dirtbag" as the "same delicacy and finesse as Ludwig's 9th, giving it a whole new complexion" Differentiation during a concert is further created by the fact that each member of the orchestra, each with their own singing style, takes turn to be vocal lead on a cover. The Ukulele Orchestra tries to adapt its programme to match the location of the venue or the occasion, musical numbers with a regional flavour are often included especially when touring overseas, for instance they play Sibelius' Finlandia when they perform in Finland. | Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain | Artistic style and repertoire | 2024-10-01T07:07:00 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukulele_Orchestra_of_Great_Britain#Artistic%20style%20and%20repertoire | 278 | {

The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain perform their gigs in a light-heartedly parody of a 'very prim and proper, staid sort-of orchestra', wearing traditional orchestra dress for performances, with the men in black tie (black suits and bow ties) and the women in smart evening wear, seated behind music stands. The humorous side of the UOGB came by accident during their first live session, when joking began after they unintentionally played in two keys at the same time. The comedy element is of the old fashioned British dry and self-deprecating kind, supported by orchestra's musical close chemistry and their adept timing. The New York Times noted that the orchestra often light-heartedly mock the "ludicrousness and pretentiousness" of famous tunes with deadpan humour and pun-filled banter with numbers introduced with a light hearted humour. The Guardian and Gigwise noted that the orchestra's deadpan delivery had the ability to dismantle the pretensions that might be connected to a musical piece. Alternatively physical comedy is incorporated with the musicianship, for instance when up to five members bunch together to play a single small ukulele. | Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain | Visual image and humour | 2024-10-01T07:07:00 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukulele_Orchestra_of_Great_Britain#Visual%20image%20and%20humour | 292 | {

The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain has been described by the Daily Telegraph, Guardian and others as a "much-loved" British institution" that has become a "worldwide phenomenon" with an "international cult status". The orchestra has received positive reviews of its concerts from critics. Manchester Evening News said of the orchestra that it had "a beautiful chemistry that represents fun, innocence, daftness and a genuinely enjoyable showcase of unique talent." The Kansas City Star considered the orchestra had "taken the comic aspects and musical capabilities of the ukulele and blended them together into a well-honed act, delivered with marvellous nonchalance and impressive versatility." The Financial Times Laura Battle applauded the orchestra members’ "consummate skill" and said that the "sophisticated sound they make both percussive and melodic is at once hilarious and heartfelt." | Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain | Critical reception | 2024-10-01T07:07:00 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukulele_Orchestra_of_Great_Britain#Critical%20reception | 215 | {

BBC Radio 4 and the Canadian Now described the Ukulele Orchestra as a union of skilful musicianship with a subversive post punk delivery and The Press (York) added that they used the limitations of the ukulele "to create a musical freedom that reveals unsuspected musical insights". Classic FM described the UOGB's rendition Ennio Morricone's The Good, The Bad And The Ugly as both "sprightly" and a "delightfully delicate" that remained true to the epic composition of the original work, while the Australian Stage.com called the UOGB's cover "jaw-dropping". | Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain | Critical reception | 2024-10-01T07:07:00 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukulele_Orchestra_of_Great_Britain#Critical%20reception | 153 | {

Several sources have mentioned that the orchestra is "often blamed for the current ukulele revival which is sweeping the globe", with other ukulele orchestras and groups, following UOGB's lead, have "spawned" over the years in most major cities around the world. The UOGB began the approach of orchestrating songs so that each ukulele played a separate part ~ “since then we’ve seen the concept of ensemble ukulele playing flourish right across the world.” Asked by the Sydney Morning Herald to explain the success of his orchestra, Hinchliffe replied "the world has gone ukulele mad". The question Why is everyone suddenly playing the ukulele? is asked by a Daily Telegraph article, research by ABRSM (Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music), the exam board of the Royal Schools of Music, has found that the ukulele is replacing the recorder as the instrument of choice for school ensemble music lessons. There are a multiple reasons for this, the ukulele has become a popular instrument to take up, with the Classical Music website of the BBC Music Magazine stating thas the UOGB "has played a major part in popularising the ukulele, with sales at music stores booming and the instrument becoming a mainstay of schools’ music curriculum". The UOGB itself has donated large batches of ukuleles to schools over the years. The orchestra also often run Ukulele workshops for fellow ukulele players and school children in the afternoons before gigs, including with thousands of young players in a stadium in New Zealand. Prior to gigs the orchestra also gives out advance notice of an audience participation tune so that those that wish to participate can bring along their own ukulele and play along with the orchestra. | Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain | Legacy | 2024-10-01T07:07:00 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukulele_Orchestra_of_Great_Britain#Legacy | 393 | {

In 2008, the group performed Dreamspiel, a ukulele opera, composed by George Hinchliffe and Michelle Carter for the Grimeborn Festival at London's Arcola Theatre. They have also, in 2010 and 2011, performed Ukulelescope where they played music to accompany silent movies from the British Film Institute archives. In 2012, Waly Waly on the Ukulele reworked arrangements of Cecil Sharp's collected folk tunes for performances at the Birmingham Town Hall and Cecil Sharp House in London. (Recordings from these shows were released in 2016 as the CD The Keeper.) In 2014, to commemorate the one hundredth anniversary of the start of World War I, the orchestra presented When This Lousy War is Over which reflected a range of attitudes from the time; patriotic, pacifist and feminist, and drew from gypsy music, music hall, soldiers' songs and even a song from the then radical avant-garde Cabaret Voltaire in neutral Switzerland. | Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain | Original works | 2024-10-01T07:07:00 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukulele_Orchestra_of_Great_Britain#Original%20works | 226 | {

In 2009, Erwin Clausen, a German producer, approached the UOGB with a request to set up a franchise version of the band in Germany. The UOGB denied his request, however Clausen assembled the United Kingdom Ukulele Orchestra (UKUO), which performed in a very similar style as that UOGB. Based in Germany, the UKUO just like the UOGB consisted of eight British musicians (six men and two women) who wore semi-formal evening dress sitting in a line behind music stands performing a similar range of cover versions of popular music and similar comedy. Judge Richard Hacon, sitting at the Intellectual Property Enterprise Court initially declined to issue an injunction to stop UKUO touring England in 2014 as proceedings had been issued too late. Ultimately, the court found that the German-based ukulele troop was causing confusion and so the claim of passing off succeeded. The Judge ruled Clausen had "acted outside honest practices" when he set up the UKUO, and evidence showed that confusion between the two orchestras' names did confuse the public "who recognise The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain as the trade name of a particular musical act, [and] that the two orchestras UOGB and UKUO are either the same group, or otherwise commercially connected." The court found that this had caused damage to the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain's goodwill, especially by way of the UOGB's loss of control over their reputation as artists. However, though similarities in the name amounted to passing off, the judge ruled that Clausen and the UKUO were not guilty of copyright or trademark infringement as far as the style of the performance was concerned. | Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain | Legal dispute | 2024-10-01T07:07:00 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukulele_Orchestra_of_Great_Britain#Legal%20dispute | 396 | {

Maternal death in fiction is a common theme encountered in literature, movies, and other media. The death of a mother during pregnancy, childbirth or immediately afterwards is a tragic event. The chances of a child surviving such an extreme birth are compromised. In literature, the death of a new mother is a powerful device: it removes one character and places the surviving child into an often hostile environment which has to be overcome. | Maternal mortality in fiction | 2024-06-09T23:58:28 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maternal_mortality_in_fiction# | 108 | {

Nonnenwerth (formerly also Rolandswerth) is an island in the river Rhine in Germany between Rolandseck and Bad Honnef (at river kilometer 642) opposite the island of Grafenwerth [de].
The island has been the site of a monastery with interruptions since the beginning of the 12th century, was originally founded by the Benedictines and taken over by the Franciscans in 1854. Since then, the monastery has also been home to a Franciscan educational institution, which began as a girls' boarding school and later became a general high school. | Nonnenwerth | 2024-09-26T20:21:03 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonnenwerth# | 130 | {

The island of Nonnenwerth is around two kilometers long and almost 180 meters wide at its widest point. The main part with the monastery and school facilities is located in the area of the city on the left bank of the Rhine in Remagen in the Rhineland-Palatinate district of Ahrweiler. Within Remagen, the main part with the residential area Insel Nonnenwerth belongs to the Rolandswerth district, the southern part at Rolandseck to the Oberwinter district. The narrow section, about seven meters wide and 300 meters long northernmost part of the island is located in the Bonn district of Mehlem in the Bad Godesberg subdistrict and thus belongs to North Rhine-Westphalia. On the other side of the Rhine (main stream) is the shorter but significantly wider island of Grafenwerth, which belongs to the urban area of Bad Honnef. The common border of the aforementioned districts runs between the two islands. South of Nonnenwerth, a Rhine ferry crosses from Bad Honnef Lohfeld to Rolandseck at kilometer 640. | Nonnenwerth | Geography | 2024-09-26T20:21:03 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonnenwerth#Geography | 264 | {

Mission Santa Rosalía de Mulegé is located in the oasis of Mulegé, in Mulegé Municipality, northeastern Baja California Sur state, México. It is an Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia listed Cultural Heritage Monument. | Misión Santa Rosalía de Mulegé | 2022-05-02T00:31:03 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misi%C3%B3n_Santa_Rosal%C3%ADa_de_Muleg%C3%A9# | 62 | {

The mission is named after both Saint Rosalia and the indigenous Cochimí settlement of Mulegé. | Misión Santa Rosalía de Mulegé | Etymology | 2022-05-02T00:31:03 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misi%C3%B3n_Santa_Rosal%C3%ADa_de_Muleg%C3%A9#Etymology | 39 | {

The mission was founded in 1705 by the Jesuit missionary Juan Manuel de Basaldúa and financed by the Marqués de Villapuente at a ranchería of the local Cochimí people known as Mulegé, on the eastern Baja California Peninsula, in Viceroyalty of New Spain. The site lies near the entrance of Bahía de Concepción, on the coast of the Gulf of California. A hurricane in 1717 devastated the agricultural fields that supported the original settlement. | Misión Santa Rosalía de Mulegé | History | 2022-05-02T00:31:03 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misi%C3%B3n_Santa_Rosal%C3%ADa_de_Muleg%C3%A9#History | 132 | {

Construction of a stone church was begun in 1766. In 1768, when the Franciscans took over responsibility for colonial Baja California from the Jesuits, there were reportedly still some 300 Cochimí neophytes kept at Mulegé. However, by 1770, the mission was virtually deserted. The Dominicans, who succeeded the Franciscans in Baja in 1773, began rebuilding, but the population remained less than 100. The mission ceased to function in 1828. The present church buildings have been extensively restored. | Misión Santa Rosalía de Mulegé | History | 2022-05-02T00:31:03 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misi%C3%B3n_Santa_Rosal%C3%ADa_de_Muleg%C3%A9#History | 133 | {

The island is located orographically on the left or west of the main current of the river in the so-called Nonnenwerther split of the Rhine, which widens to three (formerly four) branches. The split was comprehensively changed in the 19th century, with the island of Nonnenwerth receiving its current northern tip in 1866/67 and its current southern tip in 1870–72 each as a 400–500 m long straightening or separating unit. The area covered by the groynes built at the southern tip in 1882–84 later became part of the landmass of the island. Already in 1852, fortification measures had taken place at the lower end of the island in response to severe demolitions caused by a flood in 1845. In the course of the Rhine regulation, the Prussian Rheinstrombauverwaltung planned to set up a protective harbor in the old arm of the island of Grafenwerth from the 1850s. The necessary closure of the old branch would have caused the water pressure in the main stream to rise significantly, with the result of flooding the island of Nonnenwerth. | Nonnenwerth | Geography | 2024-09-26T20:21:03 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonnenwerth#Geography | 256 | {

The island lies morphologically immediately before the Rhine emerges from the Rhenish Slate Mountains in the Lower Rhine Bay and is thus placed at the beginning of the transition from the Middle Rhine to the Lower Rhine. Naturally, it is part of the Honnefer Valley extension, which is characterized by a steep bank up to 100 m high on the left bank of the Rhine, opposite to which is a much wider, crescent-shaped valley area on the right bank of the Rhine. In geological terms, the island belongs to the younger lower terrace of the Rhine, the deposits of which consist essentially of gravel and sand. On Nonnenwerth, remains of willow floodplain forests and individual trees are preserved in the southern part and at the northern tip. Existing elm stocks on the island fell victim to a general elm disease. The Rhine Island Nonnenwerth biotope complex covers an area of approximately 18 hectares and is classified as “of international importance”.
The total valuation estimate and monetary value comes out to the following:
Buildings: €75,250,000 to €86,000,000
Land: €100,000,000
Additional Assets: €3,500,000 to €5,000,000 (including special Island infrastructure like pumps etc.)

According to a document dated August 1st, 1126, probably in 1112 or 1122, Abbot Cuno von Siegburg founded a Benedictine monastery on the then island of Ruleicheswerd (Rolandswerth). The monastery complex consisted of various buildings that were grouped around the convent church, which was striking due to the west tower. It was built together with Rolandseck Castle, which is located close above the Rhine. The founding of the convent was supported by the Archbishop of Cologne, Friedrich I von Schwarzenburg, who wanted to use it to remedy a lack of a convent in the Archdiocese of Cologne. Rolandswerth was the first women's monastery that belonged to the Siegburg reform. In 1148 the island was named in a document by Archbishop Arnold I of Cologne Insula BeataeMariaeVirginis ("Marienwerth"), further mentions were made under the spellings Rulecheswerde (1158), Ruleigeswerde (1170/71), Ruleiswerde (1171/72), Ruleicswerde (1187), Ruleckeswerde and Rulinswerd. At the end of the 12th century the name was Rulingswerd in a monastery seal and after 1280 Rulandswerde, Rulanzwerde and Rolandswerde (Rolandswerth) for the first time. | Nonnenwerth | Benedictine monastery | 2024-09-26T20:21:03 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonnenwerth#Benedictine%20monastery | 323 | {

"type": "text"
} |
The order of a Benedictine reform movement, the Bursfeld Congregation, joined in 1465 - supervisory law passed from Siegburg to Gross St. Martin. The subsequent reconstruction while retaining large parts of the previous building took place until the church was re-consecrated in 1481. In 1583 during the Cologne War the monastery was again looted. The arrival of Dutch soldiers caused the nuns to flee to Cologne in 1620, and in 1632 they escaped the troops from Sweden. At the end of the Thirty Years' War, the monastery was in financial emergency, also due to the permanent high expenses for the fortification of the island (strong floods 1651/1658). | Nonnenwerth | Benedictine monastery | 2024-09-26T20:21:03 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonnenwerth#Benedictine%20monastery | 175 | {

} |
In 1706, a new phase of expansion in the building history of the monastery was heralded: a new confessional and annex were built by 1710. 1730 was followed by the construction of a residential accommodation for religious who was called the “manor house”; the four-wing complex, which was built around the cloister of the monastery, was completed by 1736. On January 31, 1773, the monastery buildings from the first half of the century burned down. Abbess Benedikta Conradt quickly decided on a complete reconstruction, which began with the laying of the foundation stone on April 14, 1773 and was inaugurated in the summer of 1775. It was built according to plans by the Koblenz construction director Nikolaus Lauxen and was carried out for flood protection on a ground level increased by 1.20 m. | Nonnenwerth | Benedictine monastery | 2024-09-26T20:21:03 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonnenwerth#Benedictine%20monastery | 197 | {

Until the end of the 18th century, the Rolandswerth monastery belonged to the Godesberg-Mehlem district of Cologne, in 1798 it was assigned to the Mairie Remagen under French administration. In 1802, the monastery was expropriated in the course of secularization on the left bank of the Rhine. By imperial order of October 30, 1804, the nuns were allowed to remain on the island until the end of their lives. In 1815, the monastery complexes came into the possession of the Kingdom of Prussia and were auctioned in 1821 to Caspar Anton Sommer, the former rent master of the Prince von der Leyen, who opened an inn with a pension there. The inn had 50 rooms and several banquet and dining rooms. Sommer had extensive gardens and a beech forest created on the southern edge of the island. | Nonnenwerth | Secularization and inn | 2024-09-26T20:21:03 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonnenwerth#Secularization%20and%20inn | 211 | {

"type": "text"
} |
The inn was not very profitable, so the owner tried to sell it in vain as early as 1826 using a lottery system. Later, with the consent of Sommers, the premises were used by students from the University of Bonn, presumably for legally prohibited dining halls. Among the most famous guests of the inn were the American writer James Fenimore Cooper and the piano virtuoso and composer Franz Liszt, who with his partner, Countess Marie d'Agoult, spent the summer months from 1841 to 1843 here. During this time he created his first male choirs and several song settings for German poems. The play "The Cell in Nonnenwerth" and the so-called "Liszt plane tree" which he planted for his 30th birthday in 1841 recall his stay. In the course of the 19th century, the name Nonnenwerth, first used for the monastery in the middle of the 17th century, gradually became the name of the island. | Nonnenwerth | Secularization and inn | 2024-09-26T20:21:03 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonnenwerth#Secularization%20and%20inn | 232 | {

From 1835 Auguste von Cordier owned the island. At his instigation, the house and island were handed over on August 8, 1854 to the Franciscans in Heythuysen in the Netherlands, who founded the monastery of St. Clement there. In 1843, the Nonnenwerth residential area of the then municipality of Rolandswerth had 15 inhabitants in addition to a public building, a residential building and three farm buildings, and in 1885 the number had risen significantly to 87 inhabitants. In 1900 the monastery became the seat of the newly founded German province of the Heythuysen Congregation. During the First World War, a military hospital was built on Nonnenwerth. During the Second World War, a hospital was set up on the island until 1942, in which mentally and physically disabled girls and women were accommodated. Between 1942 and 1943 there was also a teacher training center on the island, and from 1943 to 1947 the evacuated Cologne University Children's Clinic. Agricultural use of the northern part of the island ended at the latest in the first post-war years. | Nonnenwerth | Franciscan monastery | 2024-09-26T20:21:03 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonnenwerth#Franciscan%20monastery | 258 | {

The monastery of the Franciscans of Penance and Christian Love on Nonnenwerth bears the name St. Clement and has been the seat of the Province of Maria Immaculata since 1948. In 2010, there were 97 sisters, 25 of whom lived in the St. Clemens Monastery. The monastery archive houses a collection of historical sources, which include the Great Benedictine Chronicle, the Housekeeping Book and the Unkel Chronicle. An open monastery museum has existed since 1991. The monastery allows guests and holiday stays to a limited extent, there is even a Saturday fair on the island. A visit is only possible via the monastery ferry on the left bank of the Rhine or during school time via the private passenger ship "Grafenwerth" (on the right bank of the Rhine, accessible from Grafenwerth). Visitors must be registered with the monastery to visit the island. | Nonnenwerth | Franciscan monastery | 2024-09-26T20:21:03 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonnenwerth#Franciscan%20monastery | 215 | {

The monastery is also home to the Nonnenwerth private high school. In 1852 the house received state permission to set up a boarding school under the direction of Auguste von Cordier. In 1863 it was home to a hundred pupils. From 1879 to 1889, the sisters transferred their teaching to the Netherlands due to the cultural struggle, which resulted in a ban on all educational activities. In 1908 the boarding school was officially recognized as a full lyceum; this year there were already two hundred students. In the fall of 1941, the school was closed by the Nazi government. | Nonnenwerth | Gymnasium Nonnenwerth | 2024-09-26T20:21:03 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonnenwerth#Gymnasium%20Nonnenwerth | 137 | {

} |
In 1945 the school was reopened. In 1978 the boarding school was closed and the admission of boys was introduced. The school was given a secular headmaster for the first time. From 1982-1985 the school was rebuilt and expanded. It received new science rooms, an outdoor sports facilities and a new gym. Additional specialist rooms for music and art were created. All classrooms and specialist rooms, the administration room and the staff room have been renovated. In 1991 the diocese of Trier took over the management of the school. The sponsorship remained with the nuns of Franciscans of penance and Christian Love. On August 1, 2020 the non-profit Franziskus Gymnasium Nonnenwerth GmbH together with the Rheininsel was sold to the International School on the Rhine. | Nonnenwerth | Gymnasium Nonnenwerth | 2024-09-26T20:21:03 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonnenwerth#Gymnasium%20Nonnenwerth | 182 | {

Since 1988, a 24-hour run has usually been held every two years on Nonnenwerth, the proceeds of which are usually donated to projects in the countries of the third world. Since the school year 2005/2006, the school, which all parents can voluntarily join, has provided financial support to the island school. In addition, there is a sponsorship association (VFFE) that mainly subsidizes investments and material expenses. The eight-year high school with all-day school has been gradually introduced since the 2009/2010 school year. | Nonnenwerth | Gymnasium Nonnenwerth | 2024-09-26T20:21:03 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonnenwerth#Gymnasium%20Nonnenwerth | 127 | {

The Nonnenwerth high school is part of the MINT-EC network. In the school year 2016/17, of the 705 students, 412 were 58%, girls and 42% boys. Of these, 66% were Catholic, 37% Protestant and 7% belonged to other religions. Of the students, 33% lived on the left bank of the Rhine and 67% on the right bank of the Rhine. 70% came from Rhineland-Palatinate (mainly from the Ahrweiler and Neuwied districts) and 30% from North Rhine-Westphalia (mainly Rhein-Sieg-Kreis and Bonn). | Nonnenwerth | Gymnasium Nonnenwerth | 2024-09-26T20:21:03 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonnenwerth#Gymnasium%20Nonnenwerth | 148 | {

Well-known former students are: Marc Metzger (comedian), Daniel Buballa (football player), Robert Landfermann (jazz musician) and Benjamin Bidder (journalist).
Due to the island's location and the lack of bridges, extreme water levels can disrupt school operations if the school's two ferries are no longer able to safely transport students and teachers. In recent years, there have been repeated dropouts due to high and low water. | Nonnenwerth | Gymnasium Nonnenwerth | 2024-09-26T20:21:03 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonnenwerth#Gymnasium%20Nonnenwerth | 116 | {

Nearby Königswinter and Nonnenwerth were popular travel destinations from England during the English Rhine romantic travel wave of the 1830s and have thus entered English literature: Königswinter and Nonnenwerth are mentioned in particular in the 1847 sociocritical satirical novel Vanity Fair by Thackeray (chapter LXII with the original heading Am Rhein).
The Roland legend connects the island with the Roland Arch, the only remnant of Rolandseck Castle, which was destroyed in 1475 and from which you can look down on the island. Franz Liszt wrote eight versions of a piano piece called "Die Zelle in Nonnenwerth" ("The cell in Nonnenwerth"), between 1840 and 1883 (see List of compositions by Franz Liszt). | Nonnenwerth | Nonnenwerth in the arts | 2024-09-26T20:21:03 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonnenwerth#Nonnenwerth%20in%20the%20arts | 181 | {
