But nonetheless the peace congress was a place of exchange, especially of food. For the Imperial estates the congress offered an unusual opportunity to get into contact to the greater European powers. Among others there did this by offering gifts, especially food. The count of Oldenburg e.g. gave away huge amounts of meat and fish and other delicacies in order to enhance his interests.

This is one of the reasons why especially the <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/WestphalianPeaceCongress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WestphalianPeaceCongress</span></a> took so long. There was no generally accepted precedence, thus one had first to negotiate how to negotiate.

Early Modern Diplomacy<p>However, Chigi felt sorry for himself during his stay in <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Westphalia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Westphalia</span></a> and did not hesitate to tell his employer about the hardships he had to endure. These expressions of suffering were not only testimonies of a <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/emdiplomat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>emdiplomat</span></a>’s feelings but also served a communicative purpose. By reporting on and emphasising his own hardships, the <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/diplomat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>diplomat</span></a> was able to present himself as a loyal servant of his master who gave everything to fulfil his mission. This in return could strengthen his relationship with his master, advance his career or lead to other favours. To make his reports more vivid, he even enclosed a slice of pumpernickel in one of his letters.</p><p>If you want to read more of Chigi's thoughts, you can find his diary from the <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/WestphalianPeaceCongress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WestphalianPeaceCongress</span></a> within the Acta Pacis Westphalica series:</p><p><a href="https://apw.digitale-sammlungen.de/search/start.html?lang=en" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">apw.digitale-sammlungen.de/sea</span><span class="invisible">rch/start.html?lang=en</span></a></p><p> (4/4) </p><p><a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/emdiplomacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>emdiplomacy</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/NewDiplomaticHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NewDiplomaticHistory</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/HistoricalPeaceStudies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HistoricalPeaceStudies</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/histodons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>histodons</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/adventCalendar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>adventCalendar</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/adventCalendar2024" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>adventCalendar2024</span></a> </p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/histodons" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>histodons</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/historikerinnen" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>historikerinnen</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/earlymodern" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>earlymodern</span></a></span></p>

Ben SahlmuellerThe Last Storm<br>
<br>
I used to have a favorite tree. It was a centuries-old beech tree, standing free on a small meadow, separated from the groves to its sides.<br>
<br>
It was a glorious tree, with a mighty crown and heavy branches strong and thin enough to allow children to hoist themselves up. Higher still, four trunks reached into the sky, but not without offering the climber a place to rest like the palm of a wooden hand. "The Old Beech" as we called it, "Die Alte Buche" was not one but four trees, siblings sharing not only water, ground, and parasites, but even a common gown of bark.<br>
<br>
A few years ago, a developer bought the area around it. It's close to my parent's house and there was much curiosity and some concern about what would happen to the woods and lines of sight. The beech stood under nature protection though, so it would stay and the developers had to make place for it with a small "park" around it.<br>
<br>
There won't be a park anymore. In February 2022, the old beech faced its last storm that took one of the four siblings. Briefly thereafter, chainsaws came for the other three. It saddens me still. But I am grateful I was visiting during that time, that I was able to say goodbye on my terms.<br>
