He was responsible for the decoration of the west side of the temple. During the work, the oldest Etruscan decorative reliefs were removed, framed, and recycled. Damophilus and Gorgasus worked in the Greek style. They created acroteria made of terracotta and painted murals. The works were signed in the form of the artist's epigrams. During later renovations, however, the works were preserved. Today, none of this has been transmitted, at least not to be assigned. |

The Reichsbank established by imperial legislation of 14 March 1875 did not receive a monopoly on the issue of banknotes, however, and the existing local central banks retained the right to issue banknotes to the extent that was set out in an appendix to Section 9 of the law. Among these, the Leipziger Bank renounced note-issuance in 1875, the Chemnitzer Stadtbank in 1890, and the Leipziger Kassenverein in 1890, leaving the Bank of Saxony as the only note-issuing bank in Saxony, whose banknotes that could be circulated throughout the empire.

To avoid liquidation, it cooperated with the Sächsische Staatsbank [de] and took over the latter's customer business on 1 January 1937. In 1945 the Sächsische Staatsbank held 80% of the capital of the Bank of Saxony. |
Bank of Saxony | 75,680,442 | Overview | In 1945, both the Sächsische Staatsbank and the Bank of Saxony were expropriated without compensation by the Soviet occupation authorities. The Bank of Saxony was eventually deleted from the commercial register in 1947.

|

Gerhard Grüneberg | 75,680,521 | Life and career | After completing elementary school, Grüneberg learned the trade of a bricklayer (1936–1939) and worked in this field until his conscription into the Kriegsmarine in the spring of 1941. He served on various ships, reached the rank of a Maat, and was awarded the Iron Cross, 2nd class. |
Gerhard Grüneberg | 75,680,521 | Life and career | In July 1943, Grüneberg married Elly Lehmann, with whom he had two children. After the war, he was captured by the British and released in August 1945, after which he worked as a bricklayer in Oldenburg, Lower Saxony. |
Gerhard Grüneberg | 75,680,521 | Political career | Grüneberg moved to Brandenburg in the Soviet Occupation Zone at the turn of 1945/46. On 1 March 1946, he joined the KPD, which merged with the SPD later that year to form the Socialist Unity Party of Germany (SED). |
Gerhard Grüneberg | 75,680,521 | Political career | Initially, he continued working as a bricklayer and in 1947, spent around six months as a Neulehrer in Oranienburg. The SED then delegated him to the Niederbarnim District Party School. Gerhard Grüneberg initially worked in the SED local leadership in Oranienburg and, starting from September 1, 1947, served as the department head for party education, recruitment, culture, and education in the SED district leadership in Guben. |
Gerhard Grüneberg | 75,680,521 | Political career | At the age of just 26, he became the First Secretary of the district in 1948, the highest official in the region.

In the state's inner circle of power, the secretariat, he was in charge of cadre work. |

Alongside his work, he completed a distance-learning program at the "Karl Marx" Party Academy, earning a diploma in social sciences. |

Gerhard Grüneberg | 75,680,521 | Political career | In the 1960s and 1970s, Grüneberg was the key agricultural policymaker of the SED and thus the GDR. As a consequence, he implemented many ideas aimed at industrializing the collectively managed agriculture since 1960. The most significant aspect became the gradual separation of animal and plant production, starting in the mid-1960s. This was particularly evident under the leadership of Erich Honecker, under whom Grüneberg expanded his power after falling out of favor with Walter Ulbricht in 1969 due to 'exaggerations.' |
Gerhard Grüneberg | 75,680,521 | Political career | By the late 1970s, it became evident that the systematic operational separation between arable farming and animal husbandry was a failure, and the sizes of the farms became almost unmanageable. This led to internal criticism of Grüneberg – notably by the Central Committee Secretary for Economics, Günter Mittag. Grüneberg, together with his ally Bruno Kiesler (Head of the Agriculture Department of the Central Committee), attempted to alleviate the consequences through increased cooperation, which yielded limited success. |
Gerhard Grüneberg | 75,680,521 | Political career | Even before his death, an agricultural policy shift began, intensifying under his successor as the Central Committee Secretary for Agriculture, Werner Felfe. |

Ancrum House | 75,680,574 | Ancrum House was a Georgian-style manor house constructed from 1925 to 1928 in Delhi, Delaware County, New York. The house was constructed for Angelica Livingstone Gerry (1871–1960) by the firm Cram & Ferguson (managed by Ralph Adams Cram and Frank W. Ferguson). Antrum House (demolished in 1963) is historically noteworthy for its formal gardens, designed by the famous landscape architect Fletcher Steele. |
|
Ancrum House | 75,680,574 | Angelica Livingston Gerry was a great-granddaughter of Elbridge Gerry, a signer of the United States Declaration of Independence and the 5th Vice President of the United States. Angelica Gerry's parents were Elbridge T. and Louisa Gerry. In 1867, Elbridge Thomas Gerry (1837–1927) married Louisa Matilda Livingston (1836–1920), who was immensely wealthy. Angelica Gerry was also a great-granddaughter of Morgan Lewis — Morgan Lewis was the governor of New York state from 1804 to 1807 and the 2nd son of Francis Lewis, a signer of the U.S. Declaration of Independence. Through family inheritance originating from Robert Livingston the Elder and his son Robert Livingston the Younger and eventually (in 1867) handed down to the Gerry family, Morgan Lewis and his wife Gertrude (née Livingston) received almost 20,000 acres and in 1820 had their mansion built in the Catskills next to a mountain lake. They named their newly built estate "Lake Delaware". From the marriage of Elbridge T. and Louisa Gerry, there were two sons, Robert Livingston Gerry Sr. and Peter Goelet Gerry, and four daughters — Angelica, Mabel (1872–1930), and two who died young. As part of her share of the Gerry inheritance, Angelica Gerry received a 200-acre parcel of land. |
|
Ancrum House | 75,680,574 | Angelica Gerry named her inherited land "Ancrum" in honor of the Scottish village Ancrum, where her ancestor Robert Livingston the Elder was born. In 1925 she hired Fletcher Steele to design the formal gardens for Ancrum House. The project became the largest of his career. His work on the project extended, with many interruptions, over twenty-three years. He produced over 500 plans and drawings for the project. She was a client and a patron, but not really a friend or a partner in the design work. The extensive correspondence between them contains issues of finance and rarely of aesthetics. Steele designed a huge garden, divided into several areas, with long shady walks, interrupted by a few open sunny areas, with flowers surrounded by simple borders. There were splendid outdoor rooms and garden walks with spectacular views. He called the garden's main diagonal axis the "Overland Walk". He designated some of the other areas as the "West Garden", the "Flower Garden", and the "Lilac Garden". The Flower Garden had geometric patterns and converging walks inspired by 17th century garden design, but the rest of Antrum House's gardens were more in the Georgian style. The garden landscape had a pergola and a nut orchard. Steele directed the creation of borders with mountain ashes (rowans), hemlock trees (Tsuga), and lilacs (Syringa vulgaris). Angelica Gerry selected, independently of Steele, many of the architectural and statuary elements of the formal gardens. She never married. Until her death in 1960, Angelica Gerry enjoyed furnishing Ancium House, tending to the gardens, and growing her prized delphiniums. |
