Nur has a long and rich history. In the Kingdom of Poland, it was one of main administrative centers of the province of Mazovia, and the seat of a separate administrative district (ziemia). In the early Middle Ages, Nur was a trade center, with a Roman Catholic parish established here probably in the 12th century.
Nur received its town charter either in 1410, or 1425. A local vogt was established, with town council. Until 1526, Nur was part of the Duchy of Mazovia, which was a Polish vassal. After annexation of Mazovia into Poland, and creation of Masovian Voivodeship, the Land of Nur consisted of three counties: Kamieniec Mazowiecki, Ostrów Mazowiecka, and Nur, which also was the seat of a starosta, Sejmik, and land court for the three counties.
Nur (also spelled Noor, Nor, or Nour, Arabic: نور, Urdu: نور ALA-LC: Nūr IPA: [nuːr]) is a common Arabic unisex name meaning light.An-Nur, meaning "the light" in Arabic, is the 24th sura of the Qur'an.
In Dutch and Flemish Noor can be a form of Eleonore cognate to the English name Eleanor, the first bearer of which was Eleanor of Aquitaine and is probably Occitan in origin. Noor is currently a popular name for baby girls in the Flemish part of Belgium.
Maximilian, Maximillian, or Maximiliaan (Maximilien in French) is a male given name. It was coined by Friedrich III for his son in 1459, explaining it as a combination of the names of two Roman generals, Maximus and Aemilianus. There was, however, an antecedent in Maximilianus, and several other prominent early Christians.
Saint Maximilian of Tebessa (Latin: Maximilianus) is a Christian saint and martyr, whose feast day is observed on 12 March. Born in the third century, A.D. 274, the son of Fabius Victor, a soldier in the Roman army, Maximilian was obliged to enlist at the age of 21. On 12 March, A.D. 295, at the City of Thavaste (now: Tébessa, Algeria), North Africa. he was brought before the proconsul of Numidia, Cassius Dion, to swear allegiance to the Emperor as a soldier. He refused, stating that, as a Christian, he could not serve in the military, leading to his immediate beheading by the sword. He is noted as the earliest recorded conscientious objector, although it is believed that there were some other Christians at that time who also refused military service and were executed.
The 1970s anti-Vietnam War clergy group Order of Maximilian took their name from him. Maximilian's name has been regularly read out, as a representative conscientious objector from the Roman Empire, at the annual ceremony marking International Conscientious Objectors' Day, 15 May, at the Conscientious Objectors Commemorative Stone, Tavistock Square, Bloomsbury, London.
Maximilian, Duke of Hohenberg (29 September 1902 – 8 January 1962), was the eldest son of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary, and his wife Sophie, Duchess of Hohenberg. Because his parents' marriage was morganatic, he was excluded from succession to the imperial throne of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, to which his father was heir presumptive, and to inheritance of any of his father's dynastic titles, income and properties, although not from the archduke's personal estate nor from his mother's property.
Maximilian was born with the lesser princely title and territorial designation ("von Hohenberg") accorded his mother at the time of her marriage and in 1905 shared, with his siblings, in her receipt of the style of Serene Highness. Although she had been raised from Princess (Fürstin) to Duchess in 1909 by Emperor Emperor Franz Joseph, because that title was accorded ad personam, Maximilian did not inherit it upon her death. On 31 August 1917, however, Emperor Charles I granted him the dukedom on an hereditary basis, simultaneously raising his treatment from "Serene Highness" (Durchlaucht) to "Highness" (Hoheit).
Ich
will ins Licht aus dem Dunkeln
und brauche Hilfe dazu!
In meinem Leiden versunken,
weiß ich nicht was ich tu!
Helf mir zu erkennen,
Helf mir zu verstehen!
Ohne dich werde ich verbrennen,
laß mich die Wahrheit sehn!
Refrain
Nur Du,
nur Du allein!
Nur Du,
kannst Erlösung sein!
Nur Du, nur Du allein.
Nur Du,
kannst Erlösung sein!
Verletzt und verwundet,
hab ich nicht mehr viel Kraft.
Noch eben Treue bekundet,
weiß ich nich ob ich`s schaff!
Ich muß weg von hier,
so schnell es geht, raus!
Muß zurück zu dir,
in meines Vater`s Haus.
Refrain
Hab noch`n dressen Gewissen,
und so unfassbar wer schenkt!
Wer ich zu Boden gerissen,
und in die Enge gedrängt!
So sehr gekränkt das ich nich mehr weiß ob ich leb oder sterb!
Meine Tränen,
mein Blut,
mein Schweiß,
nur Du kennst ihren Weg!
Refrain
Sieh der Herr bringt Feuer über`s Land.
Sieh der Herr setzt Babylon in Brand.
Sieh der Herr bringt Feuer über`s Land.
Sieh der Herr setzt Babylon in Brand.
Sieh der Herr...
