City WWW Sites

Berlin

Hameln / Weser The Pied Piper's Town of Hamelin. Read the local newspaper (German language only)

Lueneburg A nice WWW site to visit (German and English)

ULM and Neu Ulm / Danube The next provincial cities close to my town are Ulm and Neu Ulm separated by the River Danube. Ulm has unfortunately deleted the combined "American" / English page they had in March 2001 and now only provides a very limited English tourism site (status January 2010). But I would like to know why they needed two flags (Stars and Stripes and Union Jack) to mark the former English edition of the web site. To be fair one should then for instance also include the flags of Australia, Canada and New Zealand. This applies to all web sites using more than one flag for one and the same language. The new website no longer provides any flags.

Ulm so far still has the highest cathedral in the world and is the birthplace of Albert Einstein. Approx. 81 % of downtown Ulm was destroyed during World War II. 2100 bombers commanded by late Airmarshal Arthur Harris dropped 310 000 tons of bombs on Ulm from June 1940 to April 1945. 60 444 people lost their homes (official data released by the City of Ulm).

Senden / Iller in the Free State of Bavaria This is the web site of the small town where I live. LOC JN58AH. Finally a new attractive home page has been completed after providing a very simple site for many, many years. The new site, however, does not mention the despairing weekend traffic problems and the extremely poor road conditions of the town with a lot of patchwork and hundreds of pit-holes (German only).

BERN / Switzerland A very interesting city and a nice web site. I like this place.

LUZERN / Switzerland .

Seoul / Korea Total information about the Republic of Korea. Read the daily "Digital Chosun Online Newspaper" free-of-charge. A very well done comprehensive and informative site (English, Japanese and Chinese) and an excellent contribution in introducing the advanced industrial structure and modern society of Korea.
