The House of Hohenzollern today

abdullatifphadia (15)in #new • 7 years ago

After the end of the monarchy in 1918 Emperor William II (1959-1941) went to exile to Doorn in the Netherlands. Most members of the Hohenzollern family could remain in Germany, however. Many properties in the Eastern parts of Germany were kept by the family until the end of World War II, e.g. the palaces of Oels and Kamenz in Silesia or the estate of Cadinen in West Prussia. Cecilienhof Palace near Potsdam, the residence of Crown Prince William (1882-1951) particularly became the centre for family life and reunions.

After the war the Crown Prince took residence in Hechingen at the foot of his ancestral castle in South West Germany while his wife Cecilie first fled to Bad Kissingen before moving to Stuttgart later on. Their son Prince Louis Ferdinand acquired the estate “Wümmehof” near Bremen for his family. In 1963 he created another family residence in Berlin by building “Villa Monbijou” named after the palace that had housed the Hohenzollern Museum since 1877 and had been destroyed during the war. Hohenzollern Castle came to new importance for family meetings but also as a lively museum of Prussian history and burial place of members of the Hohenzollern family.

As widely ramified as the Hohenzollern family is, as varied is their commitment for social and cultural matters. The love for music traditionally plays an important role as well as charitable responsibility.

If Full House has taught us anything, it's the importance of family. Most of the time, watching Full House makes you appreciate your family in a variety of ways. With the holiday season quickly approaching, skipping out on any family occasions wouldn't be an action that either Danny, Uncle Jesse, or Uncle Joey would approve of. In the name of the Tanners, it's time to put down the laptop and take some time out to appreciate the people in your life that you call family. Reunite with them, spend some time together, and remember just how important they are to who you are today.

Still, spending time with your family can sometimes be easier said than done. And if you are in need of a little inspiration this year, that is where the Tanners come in. Each Full House episode is packed with those family-loving feels, and, as it turns out, you can actually learn a thing or two from their greatest family moments. The Tanners proved that family can make you laugh and cry, and are always worth going back home to. Re-watching Full House could be just the kick in the butt you need to help you appreciate what's always been right there.

When The Family First Comes Together
'Full House' Creator Purchases Original Tanner House in San Francisco (Exclusive)

The house, located at 1709 Broderick St., went on the market in May for $4.15 million. Now that the show's creator Jeff Franklin has the keys, he hopes to use it for filming and eventually rent it out to the public: "It's a shame to let it sit empty."
The Tanner House is back in the Full House fold.

Veteran TV producer Jeff Franklin — creator of the beloved long-running sitcom — has purchased the iconic San Francisco property where the Tanner family "lived," located in the city's Lower Pacific Heights neighborhood at 1709 Broderick St. The house went on the market in May with a price tag of $4.15 million and Franklin snapped it up in a deal that closed this fall, paying right around $4 million.

Built in 1883, the Charles Lewis Hinkel home is noted for its Italianate Victorian architecture and was handpicked by Franklin nearly 30 years ago to serve as the Tanner household in stock shots featuring the outside of the home. Inside, the nearly 2,500 sq. ft. includes four bedrooms and four bathrooms. Despite a recent redesign that some realtors described as "sophisticated," Franklin is planning to redo the interiors to match its sitcom heritage, making it appear as if the Tanner family really lives there.

"The house came on the market and really, I just thought, I have to buy this house," Franklin told The Hollywood Reporter during a telephone interview from San Francisco on Wednesday afternoon. "I'm so sentimental about the house. It's great to have the house in our Full House family and be able to preserve it for the fans. … Seriously, I love owning this house."

Another thing he loves: The property now has a red door once again. The previous owners painted it a seafoam green color, but Franklin made the change one of his first orders of new homeowner business, a detail that will surely please fans — many of which still flock there on a daily basis for photo ops. "There are probably 250 fans per day that show up and take a picture in front of it," Franklin noted. "It will be a lot more fun for the fans because now the house will look like the Tanners really live there. It's a gift to the fans, but it's also fun for me to own it."

But they better hurry because the red door will take a temporary hiatus. "I need to do some construction work on the inside, and do a seismic retrofit so the building is safe. It still has the original, brick foundation from 1883, and the whole house needs to be brought up to code," Franklin explained. "That will probably be six months of construction and during that time, the red door will not be there because I don't want it to get ruined."

Franklin recalled that he picked that particular home after a location manager visited San Francisco to select options for the Tanner family residence before they started shooting in early 1987. "I wanted the family to live in one of those classic Victorian homes," he added. "For some reason, that one jumped out at me. There were lots of candidates but that was the winner."

Franklin laughed that they paid a "ridiculous" amount, "like $500," to shoot a bunch of shots of the home — everything from lights on, lights off, daytime and nighttime — so they would have options moving forward. "We didn't need to go back there until several years later, but by that point the owner, I guess, had become annoyed with fans coming by and they weren't in a cooperative mood," he said. Subsequent owners also were frustrated living inside a tourist magnet.

Because of that, Franklin said that "no one has allowed us to shoot in that house since we did our very first stock shoot back in April of '87. Our audience has watched the same cars drive by that house now for 29 years. It's going to be really nice to see some new cars drive by the house."

As the new owner, Franklin is looking toward making the home a part of the new incarnation of the show, Fuller House, which streams on Netflix. The reboot debuted in February and a second season is prepped and ready to roll out on Dec. 9. He is hoping to hear from Netflix shortly about a season-three renewal, giving them an option to shoot in and around the home.

"We would take advantage of the fact that I now own the house, and we could go up there and shoot some new footage and maybe bring the cast up and shoot with them up there," he said, adding that he also plans to take advantage of the show's upcoming anniversary, albeit in a more private way.

Full House premiered on Sept. 22, 1987, making Sept. 22, 2017, the show's 30th anniversary. "That will be around the time that all of my construction will be done, so I hope to bring the cast up to the house and have a big slumber party here so people can drive by and actually see the Tanner family living there for one whole day," he explained. "That would be pretty fun."

By then too, the red door will be back and the landscaping and window treatments will match the looks from the sitcom, said Los Angeles native Franklin, who owns only one other home, his permanent residence in L.A. Up first though, are a series of fan events staring in San Francisco this week and continuing on to Tokyo, where he said the reboot has been a huge hit.

In addition to some filming and fun cast events, Franklin also has an eye out to rent the property to the public. "It's a shame to let it sit empty," he says. "I will be renting it out, but I'm not sure yet what, where, when or how. At some point soon I will figure that out."http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/full-house-creator-purchases-original-tanner-house-san-francisco-951273
Just you wait till we get home: Stern-faced Obama keeps his distance from 'hard-partying' Malia as the first family heads home from Martha's Vineyard

President Barack Obama's love for his oldest daughter Malia has always been apparent - whether it was serenading her on her 18th birthday, or choking up during her high school graduation.
But as the first family left Martha's Vineyard on Sunday, the president kept his distance from the 18-year-old, who appears to be enjoying her gap year before she heads to Harvard in 2017.
At one point Obama turned to address Malia, who responded with a smirk, before he tended to 15-year-old Sasha instead.
Malia seemed to steer clear of her father and walked along with Michelle, exchanging smiles with her mom while the two sported matching shirt dresses and similar sneakers.

The first family returned to Washington DC, concluding their last jaunt to Martha's Vineyard before the end of Barack Obama's presidency.
Despite the 16 days of rest and relaxation, the president may have a lot on his mind in between Malia's gap-year shenanigans and the catastrophic floods in Louisiana.
Obama is readying himself to visit Louisiana, where 13 people have already died in the catastrophic floods that damaged about 40,000 homes and displaced 4,000 people.
Despite the devastation, Obama refused to cut his vacation short as political opponents and the Louisiana press pressured him to acknowledge and confront the disaster.
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump filled the void, touring the ravaged area of Baton Rouge on Friday with running mate Mike Pence to help unload a supply truck.
