Engel & Völkers Mendocino

Destination Tuesday Hamburg, Germany Let’s visit where Engel & Völkers originated. - Hamburg is the second-largest city in Germany after Berlin and 7th largest city in the European Union with a population of over 1.84 million. -... The city lies on the River Elbe and two of its tributaries, the River Alster and the River Bille making it Europe's third largest port, after Rotterdam and Antwerp. - The name Hamburg comes from the first permanent building on the site, a castle which the Emperor Charlemagne ordered constructed in AD 808. It rose on rocky terrain in a marsh between the River Alster and the River Elbe as a defense against Slavic incursion, and acquired the name Hammaburg, burg meaning castle or fort. - Hamburg is the seat of Germany's oldest stock exchange and the world's oldest merchant bank, Berenberg Bank. - Hamburg is a major international and domestic tourist destination. In 2017, more than 6,783,000 visitors with 13,822,000 overnight stays visited the city. A typical Hamburg visit includes a tour of the city hall and the grand church St. Michaelis, and visiting the old warehouse district and the harbour promenade where many visitors take one of the harbour and/or canal boat tours - Hamburg has an oceanic climate, influenced by its proximity to the coast and maritime influences that originate over the Atlantic Ocean. - Hamburg has architecturally significant buildings in a wide range of styles and no skyscrapers The many streams, rivers and canals are crossed by some 2,500 bridges, more than London, Amsterdam and Venice put together. Hamburg has more bridges inside its city limits than any other city in the world. - Hamburg has more than 40 theatres, 60 museums and 100 music venues and clubs for a variety of entertainment. - #hamburg #hamburgtourism #tourgermany #tourhamburg #riveralster #riverbille #riverelbe #bridges #berenbergbank #hammaburg #stmichaelis #engelvoelkers #evadvisor See more

National Vietnam War Veterans Day - The Vietnam War led to over 58,000 American military deaths, and a total of over two and a half million Americans served in the war. In the early 1960s, military advisors were sent to the country, and by 1963 there were about 16,000 Americans in Vietnam. After the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution in 1964, the conflict expanded, and by 1968 there were 500,000 troops in the country. After about a decade of war, the last American troops came home o...n March 29, 1973. - The Vietnam War was a war of great controversy, with many strongly opposed to it, while others supported it. Most veterans did not return home to parades and celebration, unlike those who had served in World War II and returned home a generation earlier. Many veterans came home physically wounded, and faced post-traumatic stress syndrome or other health issues. - Congress authorized and requested President Nixon to make a proclamation for a Vietnam Veterans Day. Thus, President Nixon issued a proclamation designating March 29, 1974, as Vietnam Veterans Day. He called for the flag to be displayed on public buildings, and for ceremonies and observances across the country to honor those who had served. - Over the years the day has been observed informally, and most states have passed resolutions for days such as Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day or Vietnam Veterans Day. These days have been observed on either March 29 or March 30. In 2012, President Obama issued a proclamation making March 29 of that year Vietnam Veterans Day. In 2017, Congress passed the Vietnam War Veterans Recognition Act, which President Trump signed into law. This created National Vietnam War Veterans Day, which is observed each year on March 29, and on which the American flag is to be displayed. - #nationalvietnamwarveteransday #vietnamwar #americanveterans #AmericanVeterans #usveterans #gulfoftonkinresolution #americantroops #militaryservice #vietnamvet #vietnamveteransday See more
