⑥ More information on the locations I’ve visited in this video:
▶ Hiroshimapark (translated from kiel-wiki)
The Hiroshimapark is a green area in the district of Damperhof in Kiel, Germany. It is situated between Kiel City Hall and the “Small Kiel”. Since its founding in 1934, it was originally called Bismarckanlagen, before getting its name changed to Hiroshimapark in 1987.
Since 1986, every year on the evening of August 6th, a memorial hour is held to remmeber the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima. This is used by peace initiatives to demonstrate against war and nuclear weapons. In the end of the evening – with the sun setting – the festival ends with everyone letting their selfmade origami lotus flowers sail on the small Kiel.
Since 2017, a 75 m long swimming pier is installed.
▶ Ratsdienergarten (translated from kiel-wiki)
The Ratsdienergarten is a green area between Lorentzendamm, small Kiel, Jensendamm and Dänischer Straße in Kiel, Germany. It’s name originates from the former gardens that were situated by the wealthy “Ratsdiener” in this area. This name was made official in 1938.
For the last decades, Ratsdienergarten more and more became a sculpture park, with many art monuments being installed there today. Some of them are:
1. A well as a memorial for the author Klaus Groth
2. A sculpture in memories of the Kieler Matrosenaufstand of 1918
3. “Annäherung”
4. “Berg-Teile”
5. “Gaia”
▶ Kiel (from Wikipedia)
Kiel is the capital and most populous city in the northern German state of Schleswig-Holstein, with a population of 249,023 (2016).
Kiel lies approximately 90 kilometres (56 mi) north of Hamburg. Due to its geographic location in the southeast of the Jutland peninsula on the southwestern shore of the Baltic Sea, Kiel has become one of Germany’s major maritime centres, known for a variety of international sailing events, including the annual Kiel Week, which is the biggest sailing event in the world.
Kiel has also been one of the traditional homes of the German Navy’s Baltic fleet, and continues to be a major high-tech shipbuilding centre. Located in Kiel is the GEOMAR – Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel at the University of Kiel. Kiel is an important sea transport hub, thanks to its location on the Kiel Fjord (Kieler Förde) and the busiest artificial waterway in the world, Kiel Canal (Nord-Ostsee-Kanal). A number of passenger ferries to Sweden, Norway, Lithuania and other countries operate from here.
The city districts of Düsternbrook, Schreventeich, Ravensberg and Blücherplatz are popular places to live with many 19th century buildings, villas and tree-lined streets. The government offices, ministries and parliament of the state of Schleswig-Holstein are also mainly based in these neighbourhoods, particularly Düsternbrook. In contrast to the heavy bomb damage inflicted on the central parts of the city during the Second World War, most of the residential areas were not severely damaged. Hence, Kiel’s more modern-style inner city and Kiel’s more historic/elaborate residential areas stand in architectural contrast to one another.
