Wismar

timeBut I love that we, we get a beach scene in, in all of these movies because the town where they are, it's Wisburg, which is fictional.

But it's close- probably supposed to be like Wismar, which is on, on the coast.

So everybody's...

both versions of Ellen are on the beach, and I like how in this version they're playing croquet.

Yeah.

So they hang out at the beach there, too, which I'm sure is cold.

But, um, yeah, if we're talking Wismar, that's...

Yeah.

Ideally, the larger company benefits from the startup speed and agility, while the startup gains from the experience of an established business.

Around 500 kilometers northeast of the exhibition halls lies the old harbor of Wismar.

Here on Germany's Baltic coast, residents are well aware of growing international tensions, the threats they bring, and their own security.

But rising tensions are also bringing new opportunities.

Our market is expected to double in size by 2033, so demand is very strong, and that comes with the responsibility, not just to take on these orders, but to deliver them successfully.

That's the responsibility that we're taking on right now.

For Wismar, a region accustomed to the boom and bust of the shipyards, the new development is reason for optimism.

Tourism had become the city's most reliable source of income until now.

The specific shipyards, uh, are in negotiations with MSC Cruises about a 80% controlling share of Meyer Werft, Papenburg, and Rostock.

Um, those are the shipyards that produced all of the Disney ships, uh, since the Magic and the Wonder, save for the Adventure, which was actually built in the Wismar shipyard, which is technically a separate entity even though it's part of Meyer Werft.

Um, but anyway, they're in negotiations because right now the government of Germany and Lower Saxony own that 80% share, and it sounds like they kinda want out.

They basically bought it in a, to keep it out of, uh, bankruptcy proceedings essentially or something, whatever s- Germany has that's similar to bankruptcy.

She obtained the whole of Nearer and part of Further Pomerania, with the reversion of the rest on the extinction of the male branch of the Brandenburg House.

She thus secured the towns of Stettin, Gotz, Dam, and Gollnau, with the islands of Rügen and Wollen, which gave her complete command of the mouths of the Oder on both banks, while the cession of the town and harbour of Wismar, the Archbishopric of Bremen, and the Bishopric of Verden placed in her power the navigation of the Elbe.

All these she held as immediate fiefs of the Empire, and thus claimed for Bremen, Verden, and Pomerania three voices in the Imperial Diet.

She was also allowed to erect a sovereign court at Wismar, with a university at Greifswald.

She had thus assured to her a communication with the Scandinavian states and her dominion of the Baltic, and not only was placed in a position of marked though not crushing supremacy in the north of Europe, but gained a distinct hold upon Germany, both territorially and consultatively, which lasted until the Treaty of Stockholm in 1720.

A garrison of six hundred men was left in Sachsenhausen, while the King himself advanced the same evening with the rest of his army against the town of Hoxt in Metz, which surrendered to him before night.

In vain did the imperial general, Wolf Count von Mansfeld, endeavor to recover from the Swedes the territories of Halberstadt, which they had taken possession immediately upon the victory of Leipzig.

he was even compelled to leave magdeburg itself in their hands the swedish general banner who with eight thousand men remained upon the elbe closely blockaded that city and had defeated several imperial regiments which had been sent to its relief count mansfeld defended it in person with great resolution but his garrison being too weak to oppose for any length of time the numerous force of the besiegers he was already about to surrender on conditions when pappenheim advanced to his assistance and gave employment elsewhere to the swedish arms magdeburg however or rather the wretched huts that peeped out miserably from among the ruins of that once great town was afterwards voluntarily abandoned by the imperialists and immediately taken possession of by the swedes even lower saxony encouraged by the progress of the king ventured to raise its head from the disasters of the unfortunate danish war they held a congress at hamburg and resolved upon raising three regiments which they hoped would be sufficient to free them from the oppressive garrisons of the imperialists the bishop of bremen a relation of gustavus adolphus was not content even with this but assembled troops of his own and terrified the unfortunate monks and priests of the neighbourhood but was quickly compelled by the imperial general count gronsfeld to lay down his arms even george duke of lunenburg formerly a colonel in the emperor's service embraced the party of gustavus for whom he raised several regiments and by occupying the attention of the imperialists in lower saxony materially assisted him but more important service was rendered to the king by the landgrave william of hesse casale whose victorious arms struck with terror the greater part of westphalia and lower saxony the bishopric of fulda and even the electorate of cologne it has been already stated that immediately after the conclusion of the alliance between the landgrave and gustavus adolphus at werben two imperial generals fugger and altringer were ordered by tilly to march into hesse to punish the landgrave for his revolt from the emperor but this prince had as firmly withstood the arms of his enemies as his subjects had the proclamations of Tilly inciting them to rebellion, and the battle of Leipzig presently relieved him of their presence.

In 1241 we find Lübeck and Hamburg agreeing to safeguard the important road connecting the Baltic and the North Sea.

The first known meeting of the maritime towns, later known as the Wendish Group, and including Lübeck, Hamburg, Lüneburg, Wismar, Rostock and Stalsund, took place in 1256.

The Saxon towns, during the following century, were joining to protect their common interests, and indeed at this period town confederacies in Germany, both north and south, were so considerable as to call for the declaration against them in the Golden Bull of 1356.

The decline of the imperial power and the growing opposition between the towns and the territorial princes justified these defensive town alliances, which in South Germany took on a peculiarly political character.

They can go to Stockholm, to KTH.

They can go to Wismar.

They can go to Parsons in New York.
