Gmunden,Malerisches Salzkammergut
Thanks Thomas sent 15/07/2021
Gmunden is not a big city by any stretch of the imagination, but neither is it a sleepy village in the mountains.
Gmunden is more...
A town with culture and flair, romantic and lively at the same time. A place full of charm and contrasts; a place for exuberant hours and quiet moments.
Its unique location on the shores of Lake Traunsee, surrounded by mountains, together with its cultural past, offers a special flair. Filming location of the TV series "Schlosshotel Orth"!
This lively town with its southern charm has lost none of its appeal since it was designated a spa town (1862). Its unique location on the shores of Lake Traunsee, surrounded by mountains, together with its cultural past, offers a special flair.
Whether life, culture, nature, sports or leisure. You may calmly expect a lot.

BERLIN Fernsehturm bei Nacht
Berlin: the city of all possibilities
No one is supposed to be unaware that the Berlin Television Tower - Berliner Fernsehturm - is 365 meters tall and the tallest building in Berlin. Legend has it that the height of the tower was decided by Walter Ulbricht, leader of the GDR's Communist Party, so that every child could remember that it corresponded to the number of days in the year. In fact, the tower now measures 368 m at its top.
The roof of Europe
Construction of the East German transmitter began in the 1950s and the tower, erected between 1965 and 1969, was designed to be the tallest in Europe, just behind the Moscow Television Tower. It was designed by the East German architects Fritz Dieter, Günter Franke and Werner Ahrendt.
A panoramic view
For East Berlin, a separate television broadcasting system was a necessity during the years of division and the fact that it was built exactly in the center of the city was an original idea of Ulbricht. It remains the only single-city TV tower in Europe. An extremely popular attraction for tourists and Berliners alike, it welcomes more than a million visitors a year. The elevator reaches an altitude of 200 m in 40 seconds. The observation platform is 203 meters above sea level and the telecafé is 207 meters above sea level. The restaurant, equipped with a rotating ring, offers coffee, snacks and meals at reasonable prices, while the platform completes a full rotation every 60 .

Beethoven : misunderstood genius, deaf composer... Who was he?
Ludwig van Beethoven was born in Bonn, Germany in December 1770 and died on March 26, 1827 in Vienna, Austria. From an early age, his father, himself a musician, dreamed of making him a Mozart and would have forced him to practice the keyboard from the age of four or five. Even if the young Ludwig was not a child prodigy, he showed excellent musical abilities. In 1787, with the help of Prince Maximilian Franz, Beethoven went to Vienna, the musical capital of the time. There he met Mozart, but little is known of their meeting. When his mother died on July 17, 1787, his father sank into alcoholism, Beethoven had to take care of his two brothers. Beethoven returned to Vienna in 1792 to complete his musical education. He took lessons from Haydn, then from Albrechtsberger and Salieri. Three years later, Beethoven gave his first public performances, playing his own compositions and gaining some success with members of the aristocracy. The young composer was also known for his fiery and impulsive temperament.
