Over the course of three weeks in the fall of 2011, eleven Brooklyn Preparatory high school students collaborated with International Studio & Curatorial Program (ISCP) artist-in-residence Tang-Wei Hsu (based in Taiwan) to create a cosmos-inspired installation for Brooklyn Prep. Contributing students gained insight into contemporary art practices while creating a twenty-foot site-specific work with Hsu along the corridors of their school. The completed landscape is composed of the students’ collective symbols of spaces and objects based on their current, future and imagined lives.

Whether it's for specific fitness goals or sports elevation, there is always a reason for the need to reach higher goals (literally). Maybe your vertical necessitates an increase for basketball evaluations or your daughter is a monster striker in volleyball but wishes to assert more dominance in her game. Additional to speed and agility, the ability to spring yourself off the ground is the gold standard for athletic competition, from basketball to football.
Soccer goalies, rebounders, dunkers, spikers, hurdlers, receivers, and defensive backs, to name a few, should all incorporate Plyometric Box Jumping into their exercise circuits. Plyometrics or plyos are jumping drills where muscles distribute full force in minimized time intervals. The objective is to increase speed + strength, which = power. Moreover, plyos enrich cardiovascular health, incinerate calories precipitously, and tone the physique.
For the "Fit Fathers Plyometric Box Jumping Routine," use an anti-slip, three-in-one box (20-in, 24-inch, and 30-inch) for various height levels and exercises. Our set goes like this:
•Stretch the calf, Achilles tendon, quads, and hamstrings for five minutes
•Complete 3 sets of 20 weighted step-ups with dumbbells your size of choice
•Complete 3 sets of 10 weighted box jumps with light dumbbells
•Engage in 3 sets of 20 box knee highs
•Finish with 3 sets of 10 explosive box jumps at the highest level
Follow-up exercises could include running in place, burpees, jumping jacks or going out for a jog. Have fun with it and keep reaching higher!

In the 19th century, specific buildings for entertainment appeared in many cities, including stone circuses. Ghent also joined this international trend. In 1894, the so-called "Nieuw Cirkus" was built, designed by architect Emile De Weerdt .and was eventually inaugurated as a stone circus, where numerous companies gave performances, also during the winter.
Shortly after World War II, the Winter Circus was transformed into Ghislain Mahy's garage. In this transformation, the entire circus interior was lost. In its place came a completely new concrete structure with an elaborate system of ramps that allowed cars to drive all the way to the top. In 1978, the garage closed its doors and the building continued to serve as a depot for vintage cars for two more decades. After that, the building stood virtually empty.
n order of the City, sogent purchased the historically valuable building in 2005 with the intention of renovating and repurposing it with respect for its rich heritage value.

Redhill-bound 32 bus stop on the western edge of Albury, named 'Surrey Hills'.
The name seems to be derived from an adjacent house, not the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty that the majority of the 32 runs through on its way between Guildford and Redhill!
You can (just about) see the Albury Village sign between the tree foliage.

This specific ferry is called the Washington, which is a pretty typical name for a ferry anyway, and it's even more obvious when you know it's going to Washington Island, one of the 19,767 geographical entities in this nation named for George Washington. (Editor's Note: I can not tell a lie. That number is made up. It is one less than the number of things this page has previously reported to be named "Castle Rock.") A short while after I took this picture while I was still puttering around on the beach, a second ferry returned from Washington Island. That ferry was called Madonna which is a lot less typical. So say what you want about Britney Spears or Christina Aguilera or Beyoncé Knowles, none of them have Wisconsin ferries named after them.
The lighthouse on the other side of the water sits on Plum Island -- which the ferries bypass -- and is called the Plum Island Rear Range Lighthouse. It was built in 1897 to mark the Death's Door Passage between Green Bay toward the left and greater Lake Michigan toward the right.
The specific identity of the sitters in this, Titian’s largest group portrait, is disputed, but the man in the centre is most likely Andrea Vendramin (1481–1547), while the one on his right is his brother Gabriel Vendramin (1484–1552), a significant collector of works of art. The boys are the former’s seven sons. The reliquary of the True Cross on the altar still exists in the Scuola di S. Giovanni Evangelista in Venice. It was presented to an earlier Andrea Vendramin, Guardian of the Scuola, on behalf of this confraternity in 1369. On one occasion he is said to have rescued it from a canal.
The painting was surely made for a specific site in the family’s Venetian palazzo. During execution, however, it was cut down on the left, probably because the patron changed the intended location. This accounts for the slightly awkward accommodation of the three boys at far left, who were surely painted by the artist's workshop. The two boys on the far right were probably also painted by an assistant: they are markedly drier of execution than the freely and luminously painted boy holding a puppy. Parts of the paint surface have become transparent with time, revealing to the naked eye Titian’s vigorous preparatory underdrawing of Gabriele.

Maybe your vertical necessitates an increase for basketball evaluations or your daughter is a monster striker in volleyball but wishes to assert more dominance in her game.

Europa: Pasajes de Invierno es una instalación site specific de Florentino Díaz comisariada por Carlota Álvarez Basso para el programa de intervenciones Abierto x Obras, en la antigua cámara frigorífica de lo que fue el matadero municipal. La pieza se inscribe además en la programación de PhotoEspaña 2015.
La pieza conformada a partir de materiales de derribo, representa un barracón sobre el que no cesa de caer la lluvia. En su interior, pantallas de video nos muestran las imágenes de vidas anónimas del siglo XX, recogidas de álbumes encontrados en mercadillos, con el Winterreise (Viaje de invierno) de Schubert sonando de fondo. Según la comisaria Carlota Álvarez Basso, son “historias que hablan de los momentos de felicidad ajena que han caído en el olvido, de la fragilidad de nuestra existencia y de la inconsistencia de la memoria, tanto de la individual como de la colectiva”.
“El espectador debe recorrer estos pasajes de invierno a través de estos videos en los que, paradójicamente, no cabe imaginar el trágico destino que aguarda a sus protagonistas, y que nos hacen pensar en el incierto destino que nos espera” señala Florentino Díaz. Respecto al título, Díaz se inspira en El Libro de los Pasajes, el gran proyecto inacabado de Walter Benjamin, fallecido en 1940, que “cuestiona el desarrollo de una historia que hasta ese momento no había cumplido las expectativas de liberación humana, y que en sus ruinas mostraba la imposibilidad de alcanzar sus metas últimas”, explica el artista.
Las obras de Florentino Díaz (Cáceres - 1954) se caracterizan, desde los años 1990, por el uso de materiales e imágenes recuperadas, elementos aparentemente sencillos pero cargados de sentido y de connotación emocional. Desde hace muchos años Florentino Díaz ha ido guardando pequeños tesoros encontrados en el Rastro de Madrid o de las ciudades que visitaba en sus viajes. Objetos, libros, fotografías que a veces nos desvelan y otras se guardan los secretos de vidas e historias de otro tiempo. El artista es además un referente cuyo trabajo ha girado siempre en torno al concepto de lo doméstico, de la casa, concebida como un espacio cada vez más difícil de habitar. Sus instalaciones se han expuesto en centros nacionales e internacionales, como el CAB DE Burgos, MEIAC de Badajoz, Museo Barjola de Gijón, Casal Solleriç Espai 4 de Mallorca, Museo de Cáceres, Salón de los 16, Kunstamt Kreuzberg-Bethanien de Berlín, y en ferias como Art Cologne, MACO-MEXICO, Liste The Young Art Fair de Basel, Art Chicago, Busan Bienal de Corea. Y forma parte de colecciones privadas, museos e instituciones como CGAC de A Coruña, Colección La Caixa, Fundación Coca-Cola España, Colección Banco de España, Museo de Cáceres, entre otras.
Abierto x Obras
Abierto x Obras, en Matadero Madrid, es un programa de intervenciones site specific que incentiva el carácter experimental de la creación contemporánea a través de planteamientos que exploran la relación entre el arte y el lugar que lo acoge, la antigua cámara frigorífica del Matadero. Desde 2007 Abierto x Obras ha acogido las intervenciones de artistas como Daniel Canogar, Jannis Kounnellis, Román Signer, Carlos Garaicoa, Fernando Sánchez Castillo, Jordi Colomer, Los Carpinteros, Cristina Lucas, o Eugenio Ampudia, entre otros. Próximamente se podrá disfrutar del trabajo del artista británico Haroon Mirza.

City Park

City Park Plan - Flower - Lake Ltd. © Vienna - specific
The Viennese City Park stretches from the park ring in the first district of Vienna up to the Haymarket in the third district of Vienna and is a of both tourists and local citizens well-visited park in Vienna. Its area is 65,000 m².
History
Yet in the Biedermeier the Water Glacis was a popular entertainment venue before the Karolinenstadttor (city gate). As part of the by the demolition of the city wall happened remodeling in the Ringstrasse, the project of a public park has been promoted on that site by the then Mayor of Vienna, Andreas Zelinka. This park was designed in the style of English gardens by the landscape painter Josef Selleny, the plannings were carried out by the city gardener Rudolf Siebeck. On 21th August 1862 the city park was opened as the first public park in Vienna.

"Wien" (Vienna River) in the city park
On the right bank of the river Wien (Wienfluss) was 1863 the so-called children's park, today mainly characterized by paved playgrounds and sports facilities, which over the Karoline bridge (Karolinenbrücke) (since 1918 Stadtparkbrücke), built in 1857, with the on the left bank situated town park is connected.
In the years 1903-1907 was in the parking area after the regulation a by Friedrich Ohmann and Josef Hackhofer planned Vienna river engineering structure with the river gate, pavilions and river banks built, which is one of the sights in the park.
In earlier times visitors of the park for the stay in placed chairs had to pay fees that were collected by the chair women (the so-called Sesselweiber).
Attractions in the park
Kursalon
The Kursalon
The water Glacis was a spa pavilion in which healing waters for drinking cures were served. To that affect, in the years 1865 to 1867 for the city park also the Kursalon was built according to plans of Johann Garben. This historicist imposing home in the style of the Italian Renaissanceg is located at the John street (Johannesgasse) and has a large terrace in the park:
After the opening on 8th May 1867 were originally forbidden pleasures. As this concept was not adopted, yet on 15th October in 1868 was taking place the first concert of Johann Strauss (son) whereupon became the Kursalon a popular dance and concert venue in particular at the time of the Strauss brothers. Today, the Kursalon after a renovation phase is again venue for balls, concerts, clubbings and conferences and houses a café-restaurant.

Monuments
With the gilded bronze statue of Johann Strauss (son) stands in the city park one of the best known and most frequently photographed monuments in Vienna. It was on 26th June 1921 unveiled and is framed of a marble relief by Edmund Hellmer. The gilding was removed in 1935 and in 1991 applied again. Other monuments there are, for example, of Franz Schubert, Franz Lehar and Robert Stolz and Hans Makart, the City Park is in monuments and sculptures the richest park in Vienna.
The dairy (Meierei)
The former milk bar was built as part of the Wienflußverbauung (Vienna river engineering structure) according to plans by Friedrich Ohmann and Josef Hackhofer from 1901 until 1903. After suffering heavy damages during the Second World War the building was extended in the reconstruction. Today is in the dairy after another annex a restaurant.
Planting
The planting of the city park is characterized by a great diversity of species and is, as possible, focused on a year-round flowering. Through an avenue to the ring road noise and exhaust gases are filtered. Some trees are protected, such as a ginkgo, a crown of thorns (Honeylocust, Christusdorn), cottonwood tree and Caucasian wingnut.
Site-specific installation: Philips Hue light bulbs, Philips Hue wireless bridge, ethernet bridge, router, Raspberry Pi, open-source and custom software.
A former hairdressers on Arachovis Street forms the context for an installation of “smart” lights programmed according to statutory international working hours. Operating at fixed hours, they take into account the limits to weekly working hours, periods of rest and holiday. James Bridle employs the increasingly widespread technology of the “internet of things” to make visible the EU Working Time Directive (2003/88/EC) which was created to protect workers’ rights. When activated, the light bulbs shine continuously during working hours, go dim and change colour during overtime and non-working hours. In addition, the lights change periodically to visualise the different actual working hours around the globe.
Cheaper by the Dozen continues James Bridle’s interest in algorithmic law, the processes of automation, and the political implications of the "internet of things". By addressing the guidelines to working hours in the context of a deactivated hairdressers shop, the artist draws upon the sensitivities and prejudices inherent to national working rhythms and the gross domestic product. More specifically, Bridle took inspiration from Frank and Lillian Gilbreth, pioneers of scientific management and the study of time and motion, who measured and assessed workers’ productivity through the technique of light painting. Their theoretical heritage was fundamental to the deployment of labour practices in the 20th century, just as the implementation of often opaque political intent in software is fundamental to those of the 21st century. By inserting other social values into the software layer of contemporary labour practices, the work seeks to challenge the logic of technodeterminism and alienation deployed by late capitalism.

I'm starting to purchase some relatively expensive gemstones. I wanted to know how I could be sure of what I was purchasing when there are some misleading trade names and vendors that may not ask as many questions of their supplier as they should.

Europa: Pasajes de Invierno es una instalación site specific de Florentino Díaz comisariada por Carlota Álvarez Basso para el programa de intervenciones Abierto x Obras, en la antigua cámara frigorífica de lo que fue el matadero municipal. La pieza se inscribe además en la programación de PhotoEspaña 2015.
La pieza conformada a partir de materiales de derribo, representa un barracón sobre el que no cesa de caer la lluvia. En su interior, pantallas de video nos muestran las imágenes de vidas anónimas del siglo XX, recogidas de álbumes encontrados en mercadillos, con el Winterreise (Viaje de invierno) de Schubert sonando de fondo. Según la comisaria Carlota Álvarez Basso, son “historias que hablan de los momentos de felicidad ajena que han caído en el olvido, de la fragilidad de nuestra existencia y de la inconsistencia de la memoria, tanto de la individual como de la colectiva”.
“El espectador debe recorrer estos pasajes de invierno a través de estos videos en los que, paradójicamente, no cabe imaginar el trágico destino que aguarda a sus protagonistas, y que nos hacen pensar en el incierto destino que nos espera” señala Florentino Díaz. Respecto al título, Díaz se inspira en El Libro de los Pasajes, el gran proyecto inacabado de Walter Benjamin, fallecido en 1940, que “cuestiona el desarrollo de una historia que hasta ese momento no había cumplido las expectativas de liberación humana, y que en sus ruinas mostraba la imposibilidad de alcanzar sus metas últimas”, explica el artista.
Las obras de Florentino Díaz (Cáceres - 1954) se caracterizan, desde los años 1990, por el uso de materiales e imágenes recuperadas, elementos aparentemente sencillos pero cargados de sentido y de connotación emocional. Desde hace muchos años Florentino Díaz ha ido guardando pequeños tesoros encontrados en el Rastro de Madrid o de las ciudades que visitaba en sus viajes. Objetos, libros, fotografías que a veces nos desvelan y otras se guardan los secretos de vidas e historias de otro tiempo. El artista es además un referente cuyo trabajo ha girado siempre en torno al concepto de lo doméstico, de la casa, concebida como un espacio cada vez más difícil de habitar. Sus instalaciones se han expuesto en centros nacionales e internacionales, como el CAB DE Burgos, MEIAC de Badajoz, Museo Barjola de Gijón, Casal Solleriç Espai 4 de Mallorca, Museo de Cáceres, Salón de los 16, Kunstamt Kreuzberg-Bethanien de Berlín, y en ferias como Art Cologne, MACO-MEXICO, Liste The Young Art Fair de Basel, Art Chicago, Busan Bienal de Corea. Y forma parte de colecciones privadas, museos e instituciones como CGAC de A Coruña, Colección La Caixa, Fundación Coca-Cola España, Colección Banco de España, Museo de Cáceres, entre otras.
Abierto x Obras
Abierto x Obras, en Matadero Madrid, es un programa de intervenciones site specific que incentiva el carácter experimental de la creación contemporánea a través de planteamientos que exploran la relación entre el arte y el lugar que lo acoge, la antigua cámara frigorífica del Matadero. Desde 2007 Abierto x Obras ha acogido las intervenciones de artistas como Daniel Canogar, Jannis Kounnellis, Román Signer, Carlos Garaicoa, Fernando Sánchez Castillo, Jordi Colomer, Los Carpinteros, Cristina Lucas, o Eugenio Ampudia, entre otros. Próximamente se podrá disfrutar del trabajo del artista británico Haroon Mirza.

Trondheim (UK: /ˈtrɒn(d)haɪm/ TRON(D)-hyme, US: /ˈtrɒnheɪm/ TRON-haym, Urban East Norwegian: [ˈtrɔ̂nː(h)æɪm]; Southern Sami: Tråante), historically Kaupangen, Nidaros, and Trondhjem (local pronunciation: [ˈtrɔ̂nːjæm]), is a city and municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway. As of 2022, it had a population of 212,660. Trondheim is the third most populous municipality in Norway, and is the fourth largest urban area. Trondheim lies on the south shore of Trondheim Fjord at the mouth of the River Nidelva. Among the significant technology-oriented institutions headquartered in Trondheim are the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), the Foundation for Scientific and Industrial Research (SINTEF), the Geological Survey of Norway (NGU), and St. Olavs University Hospital.
The settlement was founded in 997 as a trading post and served as the capital of Norway from the Viking Age until 1217. From 1152 to 1537, the city was the seat of the Catholic Archdiocese of Nidaros; it then became, and has remained, the seat of the Lutheran Diocese of Nidaros and the site of the Nidaros Cathedral. It was incorporated in 1838. The current municipality was formed in 1964, when Trondheim merged with Byneset, Leinstrand, Strinda, and Tiller, and further expanded on 1 January 2020, when Trondheim merged with Klæbu.
Trondheim has a mild climate for its northerly latitude, resulting in moderate summers and winters that often remain above the freezing point in seaside areas. At higher elevations, though, the microclimate is colder and snowier.
The city functions as the seat of the County Mayor of Trøndelag county but not as its administrative centre (which is Steinkjer). This is designed to avoid making the county administration too centralized.
Trondheim is home to football club Rosenborg, Norway's most successful football club, and Granåsen Ski Centre, which has hosted the World Championship in Nordic Skiing.
Names and etymology
The city was established in 997 by Olav Tryggvason and it was originally named Nidaros (Old Norse: Niðaróss). The first element of the name was the local river Nid. The last element of the name was óss which meant "the mouth of a river". Thus the name meant "the outlet of the river Nid". Although the formal name was Nidaros, the city was commonly known as kaupangr, which means "city" or "marketplace", or more specificially kaupangr í Þróndheimi which means "the city in Trondheim". Trondheim (Old Norse: Þróndheimr) was the historic name for the whole district which is now known as Trøndelag. This is the area where the people were known as Trønder (þróndr). This district name Trondheim meant "the home of the Trønder people" (literally "Trønder-home") and Trøndelag (Old Norse: Þrǿndalǫg) originally meant the "law area of the Trønder people" (literally "Trønder-law"). The name of the Trønder people derives from the Old Norse word þróndr which is an old present participle of the verb þróask which means "to grow" or "to thrive".
During the late Middle Ages, the city name was commonly shortened to Þróndheimr, dropping the kaupanger part, and over time the name became Trondhjem, using the Dano-Norwegian spelling rather than the Old Norse spelling since the city was part of the Kingdom of Denmark-Norway for centuries.
On 21 December 1917, a royal resolution enacted the 1917 Norwegian language reforms. Around the time, many municipalities and cities had their names changed to "Norwegianize" the spelling and make them look less Danish. On 1 January 1919, the name of the local Church of Norway diocese was changed from Trondhjem stift to Nidaros bispedømme (English: Diocese of Nidaros). In 1924, the name of the Norwegian capital city was changed from Kristiania to Oslo, removing the name referencing a Danish King in favor of the very old name Oslo. In 1928, a referendum in Trondhjem was held on whether to keep the current name or to bring back the original name of Nidaros. The vote resulted in 17,163 votes in favour of Trondhjem and only 1,508 votes in favour of Nidaros. Despite this result, the Storting voted in 1929 to make some changes. The Trondhjem Cathedral would be changed to Nidaros Cathedral effective on 1 July 1929 and the name of the city would change to Nidaros starting on 1 January 1930. This change caused public outrage and even riots during 1930. This forced the Storting to reconsider this change. On 6 March 1931, the name was formally changed to Trondheim, using the medieval Norwegian spelling instead of the Danish version Trondhjem. The name of the diocese and cathedral, however, continued using the name Nidaros.
Trondheim was briefly named Drontheim during the Second World War as a German exonym.
History
Trondheim was named Kaupangen (English: market place or trading place) by Viking King Olav Tryggvason in 997 CE.[ Shortly after that, it came to be called Nidaros. Initially, it was frequently used as a military retainer (Old Norse: "hird"-man) of King Olav I. It was also frequently used as the king's seat and was Norway's capital until 1217.
People have lived in the region for thousands of years, as evidenced by the rock carvings in central Norway, the Nøstvet and Lihult cultures, and the Corded Ware culture. In ancient times, the kings of Norway were hailed in Trondheim at Øretinget, the place for the assembly of all free men by the mouth of the River Nidelva. Harald Fairhair (865–933) was hailed as the king here, as was his son, Haakon I, called 'the Good.' The battle of Kalvskinnet took place in Trondheim in 1179: King Sverre Sigurdsson and his Birkebeiner warriors were victorious against Erling Skakke (a rival to the throne). Some scholars believe that the famous Lewis chessmen, 12th-century chess pieces carved from walrus ivory that were found in the Hebrides and are now at the British Museum, may have been made in Trondheim.
From 1152, Trondheim was the seat of the Archbishop of Nidaros for Norway, which operated from the Archbishop's Palace. Due to the introduction of Lutheran Protestantism in 1537, the last archbishop, Olav Engelbrektsson, had to flee from the city to the Netherlands; he died in what today is Lier, Belgium.
From the 16th through the 19th centuries, the city was repeatedly ravaged by fires that caused widespread damage since many of its buildings were made of wood. The worst occurred in 1598, 1651, 1681, 1708, 1717 (twice), 1742, 1788, 1841 and 1842. The 1651 fire destroyed 90% of all buildings within the city limits. After the "Horneman Fire" in 1681, there was an almost total reconstruction of the city, overseen by General Johan Caspar von Cicignon, originally from Luxembourg. Broad avenues, such as Munkegata, were created, without regard for private property rights, to limit the damage from future fires. At the time, the city had a population of under 10,000 inhabitants, with most living in the downtown area.
After the Treaty of Roskilde on 26 February 1658, Trondheim and the rest of Trøndelag became Swedish territory briefly. However, the area was reconquered 10 months later. The conflict was finally settled by the Treaty of Copenhagen on 27 May 1660.
During the Second World War, Trondheim was occupied by Nazi Germany from 9 April 1940, the first day of the invasion of Norway, until the end of the war in Europe, 8 May 1945. The German invasion force consisted of the German cruiser Admiral Hipper, 4 destroyers and 1700 Austrian Mountain troops. Except for a coastal battery that opened fire, there was no resistance to the invasion, which began on 9 April at 5 AM. On 14 and 17 April, British and French forces landed near Trondheim in a failed attempt to liberate Trondheim, as part of the Namsos Campaign. During the occupation, Trondheim was the home of the notorious Norwegian Gestapo agent, Henry Rinnan, who operated from a nearby villa and infiltrated Norwegian resistance groups. The city and its citizens were subjected to harsh treatment by the occupying power, including the imposition of martial law in October 1942. During this time, the Germans turned the city and its environs into a major base for submarines (which included building the large submarine base and bunker DORA I), and contemplated a scheme to build a new city for 300,000 inhabitants, Nordstern ("Northern Star"), centred 15 kilometres (9 miles) southwest of Trondheim, near the wetlands of Øysand on the outskirts of Melhus municipality. This new metropolis was to be accompanied by a massively expanded version of the already existing naval base, which was intended to become the future primary stronghold of the German Kriegsmarine. A start was made on this enormous construction project, but it was far from completed when the war ended, and today, there are few physical remains of it.
Municipal history
The city of Trondheim was established on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt). On 1 January 1864, part of Strinda (population: 1,229) was amalgamated with Trondheim. Then, on 1 January 1893, another part of Strinda (population: 4,097) was transferred to Trondheim. On 1 January 1952, the Lade area of Strinda (population: 2,230) was transferred to Trondheim. On 1 January 1964, a major municipal merger took place: the neighbouring municipalities of Leinstrand (population: 4,193), Byneset (population: 2,049), Strinda (population: 44,600), and Tiller (population: 3,595) were all merged with the city of Trondheim (population: 56,982), which nearly doubled the population of the municipality.[21] On 1 January 2020, the neighboring Klæbu Municipality (population: 6,050) was merged with Trondheim Municipality.
Geography
Trondheim is situated where the River Nidelva meets Trondheim Fjord with an excellent harbour and sheltered condition. In the Middle Ages the river was deep enough to be navigable by most boats. However, in the mid-17th century, an avalanche of mud and stones made it less navigable, and partly ruined the harbour. The municipality's highest elevation is the Storheia hill, 565 metres (1,854 ft) above sea level. At the summer solstice, the sun rises at 03:00 and sets at 23:40, but stays just below the horizon. Between 23 May and 19 July, when the sky is cloud-free, it remains light enough at night that no artificial lighting is needed outdoors. At the winter solstice, the sun rises at 10:01, stays very low above the horizon (at midday its altitude is slightly more than 3 degrees over the horizon), and sets at 14:31.
Cityscape and sites
Most of Trondheim city centre is scattered with small speciality shops. However, the main shopping area is concentrated around the pedestrianised streets Nordre gate (English: Northern street), Olav Tryggvasons gate and Thomas Angells gate even though the rest of the city centre is provided with everything from old, well-established companies to new, hip and trendy shops.
In the mid-to-late 1990s, the area surrounding the old drydock and ship construction buildings of the defunct Trondhjems mekaniske Værksted shipbuilding company at the Nedre Elvehavn was renovated and old industrial buildings were torn down to make way for condominiums. A shopping centre was also built, known as Solsiden (The Sunny Side). This is a popular residential and shopping area, especially for young people.
DORA 1 is a German submarine base that housed the 13th U-boat Flotilla during the Second World War occupation of Norway. Today the bunker houses various archives, among them the city archives, the university and state archives. More recently, DORA has been used as a concert venue.
Kristiansten Fortress, built 1681–1684, is located on a hill east of Trondheim. It repelled the invading Swedes in 1718, but was decommissioned in 1816 by Crown Prince Regent Charles John.
A statue of Olav Tryggvason, the founder of Trondheim, is located in the city's central square, mounted on top of an obelisk. The statue base is also a sun dial, but it is calibrated to UTC+1 so that the reading is inaccurate by one hour in the summer.
The islet Munkholmen is a popular tourist attraction and recreation site. The islet has served as a place of execution, a monastery, a fortress, prison, and a Second World War anti-aircraft gun station.
Stiftsgården is the royal residence in Trondheim, originally constructed in 1774 by Cecilie Christine Schøller. At 140 rooms constituting 4,000 square metres (43,056 sq ft), it is possibly the largest wooden building in Northern Europe and has been used by royals and their guests since 1800.
A statue of Leif Ericson is located at the seaside, close to the old Customs Building, the cruise ship facilities and the new swimming hall. The statue is a replica, the original being located at a Seattle marina.
In popular culture
Trondheim culture is parodied on the Monty Python album Another Monty Python Record in the form of the fictitious Trondheim Hammer Dance.
Trondheim is also a key location in the Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun universe, as it is a critical battleground for both factions.
Trondheim was the name of a planet in the Hundred Worlds of the Ender's Game novel series.
Trondheim likely serves as an inspiration for the fictional city Tronjheim in The Inheritance Cycle.

Trondheim [ˈtrɔnhajm] oder [ˈtrɔnjæm] Audiodatei abspielen (früher Trondhjem geschrieben, deutsch veraltet Drontheim) liegt an der Mündung des Flusses Nidelva in der Provinz (Fylke) Trøndelag in Norwegen und wurde 997 als Nidaros gegründet. Trondheim ist mit 214.565 Einwohnern (Stand 1. Januar 2024) nach Oslo und Bergen die drittgrößte Kommune des Landes. Mit einer Gesamtfläche von 529 Quadratkilometern umfasst sie neben dem Stadtgebiet seit 1964 die umliegenden Siedlungen.
Trondheim ist Sitz der Provinzregierung für Trøndelag und des Bistums Nidaros, in dem auch der Präses der Norwegischen Kirche angesiedelt ist. Ein großer Teil der 30.000 in Trondheim lebenden Studenten ist an der Technischen Universität Trondheim NTNU immatrikuliert. Das Universitätskrankenhaus St. Olavs Hospital beschäftigt etwa 10.000 Personen und hat eine Reihe von nationalen Spezialistenfunktionen.
Trondheim ist das Zentrum für den Einzelhandel und für die öffentliche Verwaltung von ganz Mittelnorwegen. Viele Betriebe in der Stadt bauen auf Technologie, die in Zusammenarbeit mit den Forschungsgemeinschaften an der Technischen Universität entwickelt worden ist.
Mit dem Flugplatz Værnes, mit Bahnverbindungen von Vy in Richtung Oslo, Bodø und Schweden und mit dem Hurtigruten-Kai ist Trondheim ein wichtiger Verkehrsknotenpunkt für den ganzen nördlichen Teil von Norwegen.
Die Stadt hat ein reiches Kulturangebot und ist unter anderem Sitz des Trøndelag-Symphonieorchesters, des Trøndelag-Theaters und der regionalen Jazzszene Dokkhuset. Eine Reihe von Museen und Galerien vermittelt bildende Kunst und Geschichte. Der in Trondheim ansässige Fußballklub Rosenborg Ballklub hat sich mehrmals für die UEFA Champions League qualifiziert.
Name
Der mittelalterliche Name der Stadt Niðaróss ist aus dem Flussnamen Nið und altwestnordisch óss „Mündung“ zusammengesetzt und bedeutet also „Mündung des Nið“. Im Spätmittelalter verbreitete sich der Name Kaupangen i Trondheimen „Handelsplatz in Trondheim“, was in der offiziell gebräuchlichen dänischen Sprache zu Trondhjem verkürzt und danisiert wurde. Daneben war nach den Münzinschriften auch der Name Nidernes in Gebrauch.
Seit Erlangung der vollständigen norwegischen Unabhängigkeit im Jahr 1905 bemühten sich nationalistische Kreise überall im Land darum, dänische Namen durch die mittelalterlichen norwegischen Formen zu ersetzen (so geschehen im Fall von Oslo). Auf Betreiben des Kulturvereins Noregs Ungdomslag („Norwegische Jugendgruppe“) verabschiedete das norwegische Parlament schließlich 1929 ein Gesetz, wonach die Stadt zum 1. Januar 1930 in Nidaros zurückbenannt wurde. Diese ohne Einbindung der direkt Betroffenen vollzogene Umbenennung führte in Trondheim zu einem Proteststurm bei Bevölkerung und Stadtregierung. Es kam zudem zu einem Pressekrieg zwischen der neu gegründeten Zeitung Nidaros unter Håkon Løken und dem traditionsreichen Adresseavisen.
Das Parlament sah sich gezwungen, seine ursprüngliche Entscheidung zu modifizieren, und stimmte schließlich einem Kompromissvorschlag des Trondheimer Kaufmanns Ivar Lykke zu. Statt des danonorwegischen Namens Trondhjem plädierte Lykke für die neunorwegisierte Form Trondheim (mit dem für das Nynorsk typischen Diphthong -ei-). Die Niederlage von Nidaros führte zu einem Anzeigenboykott, der bis zur deutschen Besatzung 1940 andauerte. Der Name Trondheim gilt offiziell seit dem 6. März 1930, doch ist bis heute auch das ältere Trondhjem in Gebrauch.
Geografie
Trondheim liegt an der Mündung des Flusses Nidelva auf der Position 63 Grad 25' nördlicher Breite und 10 Grad 24' östlicher Länge. Der Stadtkern liegt auf einer Halbinsel, die im Norden vom Trondheimsfjord und im Osten und Süden von der Nidelva begrenzt ist. Der Innenstadtbereich liegt auf einer nach Norden offenen Ebene, die im Osten und Westen von Hügelland mit Gipfeln von 250 bis 550 Metern Höhe abgegrenzt wird. Im Süden steigt die Ebene zum höher gelegenen Heimdalsplateau an.
Der Stadtkommune Trondheim wurden im Jahre 1964 die Landgemeinden Strinda, Byneset, Tiller und Leinstrand, die im Laufe der Jahre zu einem Teil des Stadtgebietes wurden, angegliedert. 2020 kam die Gemeinde Klæbu hinzu. Die Fläche der heutigen Kommune Trondheim umfasst 342,4 Quadratkilometer. In den Randbezirken der Kommune liegen große Flächen, die landwirtschaftlich genutzt werden, insgesamt etwa 17 % des Gesamtareals. Ungefähr 33 % des Gesamtareals der Kommune sind Waldbestände.
Die Einwohnerzahl beträgt 214.565 (Stand 1. Januar 2024) und lag am 1. Januar 2001 bei 150.166 (noch ohne das zu 2020 eingegliederte Klæbu). Die Bevölkerungsentwicklung erklärt sich aus der guten Arbeitsmarktlage in der Stadt und dem Wunsch der Bevölkerung nach einem vielseitigen Dienstleistungs- und Kulturangebot. Zu der gemeldeten Einwohnerzahl kommen noch etwa 15.000 Studenten, die in anderen Kommunen gemeldet sind. Insgesamt studieren etwa 30.000 Studenten in Trondheim, sodass etwa jeder sechste Einwohner der Stadt Student ist.
Klima
Das Klima in Trondheim ist im Verhältnis zum übrigen Mittelnorwegen mild und feucht. Die Stadt liegt unter dem Einfluss der Polarklimazone im Norden und der gemäßigten Klimazone im Süden. Von Westen her liegt die Stadt unter Einfluss des Westwindgürtels der nördlichen Hemisphäre. Auf diese Weise ist das Wetter in Trondheim wenig stabil.
Die Jahresmitteltemperatur liegt bei 5,3 Grad, im Januar bei −3,1 und im Juni bis August bei 13,7 Grad. Der Tiefstwert der Temperatur wurde 1899 mit −26,1 und der Höchstwert 1901 mit 35,0 Grad gemessen. Der durchschnittliche Jahresniederschlag beträgt 892 mm (1961–1990) und die Stadt hat im Durchschnitt 200 Tage mit Niederschlägen. Etwa 70 bis 100 Tage liegt in Trondheim Schnee.
Geschichte
Mittelalter
Etwa ab dem Jahr 950 gibt es Spuren eines Handelsplatzes auf der Halbinsel zwischen dem Fjord und der Mündung des Flusses Nidelva. Im Jahre 997 wurde Trondheim dort von König Olav I. Tryggvason als Stadt gegründet. Durch die günstige, leicht zu verteidigende Lage und den natürlichen Hafen an der Flussmündung konnte sich die Stadt zu einem blühenden Handelszentrum für die Region Trøndelag entwickeln. Trondheim war im Mittelalter Sitz des Königs und damit Hauptstadt Norwegens.
Trondheim war im Mittelalter auch das religiöse Zentrum des Landes und ein wichtiger Wallfahrtsort für Nordeuropa. Die Grundlage für die Wallfahrten war die Olavs-Tradition. Olav II. Haraldsson hatte versucht, das Land unter sich als christlichem König zu einigen, war aber im Jahre 1030 bei der Schlacht bei Stiklestad (im heutigen Verdal) geschlagen und tödlich verletzt worden. Schon im darauffolgenden Jahr wurde er heiliggesprochen und Wallfahrten zu seinem Schrein begannen. Seine Anhänger hatten seine sterblichen Überreste in das etwa 70 km südwestlich gelegene Trondheim überführt. Sie wurden zuerst in der von Olav Trygvasson gebauten Klemenskirche aufbewahrt und kurz darauf in die Christuskirche, den späteren Nidarosdom, überführt. 2016 fand ein Archäologenteam des Norsk institutt for kulturminneforskning (NIKU) die Reste der Klemenskirche, in der Olav heiliggesprochen wurde. Adam von Bremen schrieb, der Pilgerweg zum Nidarosdom habe im Oslofjord begonnen. Man sei von dort entweder mit dem Schiff nach Trondheim gefahren oder habe den beschwerlicheren Landweg genommen.
Im Jahre 1050 wurde Trondheim Bischofssitz unter dem Erzbistum Bremen. Die Kirche hatte nun bedeutende Einnahmen durch den Kirchenzehnten und eigenen Landbesitz. Zum Umsatz dieser Waren baute man die Handelsverbindungen von Trondheim nach Nordeuropa aus. Dies führte zu einem ständigen Wachstum der Stadt.
Im Jahre 1152 sandte Papst Anastasius IV. den Kardinalbischof Nikolaus Breakspear als Bevollmächtigten nach Norwegen. Dort errichtete dieser in Nidaros eine norwegische Kirchenprovinz mit einem Erzbischof. Norwegen war in vier Bistümer aufgeteilt; hinzu kamen die Bistümer auf den Färöern und auf Grönland.
Øystein war der zweite Erzbischof der norwegischen Kirchenprovinz. Er hatte eine Zeit lang im Exil in England gelebt und war dort mit der englischen Kirchenarchitektur bekannt geworden. Zurück in Trondheim begann er den Bau einer gotischen Kathedrale, die im Laufe des 13. Jahrhunderts weitgehend fertiggestellt war. Er errichtete auch einen befestigten Hof als Bischofsresidenz direkt bei der Kirche (norwegisch Erkebispegården). Eine Pest-Epidemie im Jahre 1349 führte dazu, dass ein Großteil der Bevölkerung starb. Damit stagnierte auch die Wirtschaft in der Stadt und im Umland.
Im Spätmittelalter änderte sich die Machtverteilung zwischen Kirche und Königsmacht. Mit der Reformation übernahm die Krone die Herrschaft über den Grundbesitz und damit die Einnahmen der Kirche. Norwegen und damit auch Trondheim verloren ihre Selbstständigkeit und wurden ein Teil des dänisch-norwegischen Reiches. Trondheim wurde Sitz des Statthalters der dänischen Krone. Seine Residenz war im früheren Hof des Erzbischofs.
17. und 18. Jahrhundert
Die Stadt Trondheim erlebte im 17. und 18. Jahrhundert eine wirtschaftliche und kulturelle Blütezeit. Grundlage des Wachstums war der Holz- und Fischhandel mit den nordeuropäischen Ländern. Auch der Export von Kupfer, das im Bergwerk und in der Hütte der Bergstadt Røros gewonnen wurde, trug zum wirtschaftlichen Wachstum bei.
Eine kleine Gruppe von Kaufmannsfamilien stand an der Spitze dieses Handels. Viele von ihnen waren im 17. Jahrhundert aus Südschleswig (besonders Flensburg) nach Trondheim ausgewandert, denn das Herzogtum Schleswig war auch ein Teil des dänisch-norwegischen Reiches. Der Reichtum dieser Epoche ist noch heute an den prächtigen Bauten dieser Zeit sichtbar. Ein Beispiel ist der sog. Stiftshof (norw. Stiftsgården), das größte aus Holz gebaute Palais Skandinaviens.
Weiterhin wurde die Stadt oft von verheerenden Bränden heimgesucht. Bei einem Brand im Jahre 1681 brannte die Innenstadt bis auf die zwei größten Kirchen ab. Dies führte dazu, dass der König einen Generalplan für die Stadt festlegte. Er wurde nach kontinentalem Vorbild von General Caspar Cicignon entwickelt. Der Plan legte zwei breite Hauptachsen fest, die sich auf dem Markt kreuzten. Der Rest der Straßen wurde in einem Schachbrettmuster angelegt. Cicignons Stadtplan hat sich nie vollständig durchsetzen können, sodass es auch heute noch kleine Stadtviertel mit verwinkelten Gassen (norw. veiten) gibt, die dem Straßenverlauf des Mittelalters folgen.
Neben der Sicherung vor Bränden war auch die Verteidigung der Stadt ein wichtiger Gesichtspunkt für die Stadtplanung. Im 17. Jahrhundert stand Dänemark-Norwegen im Konflikt mit Schweden. So entstand nach dem Stadtbrand von 1681 auf einer Anhöhe außerhalb des Stadtzentrums die Festung Kristiansten, um die Stadt vor Angriffen aus dem Osten verteidigen zu können. Als Verbindung von den Kasernen in der Innenstadt zur Festung wurde eine neue Stadtbrücke über den Fluss Nidelva angelegt.
Moderne
Im 19. Jahrhundert begann auch in Trondheim eine industrielle Entwicklung. Das erste Industriegebiet lag auf der Ostseite des Flusses Nidelva. Wichtige Betriebe waren Ziegeleien, mechanische Betriebe und Werften. In der nahen Umgebung entstanden Wohngebiete für Arbeiter. Einer dieser Stadtteile, Bakklandet, war lange Jahre dem Verfall ausgesetzt, wurde aber in den 1960er Jahren unter Schutz gestellt. Nach langjährigen Restaurierungsarbeiten kann man heute das Stadtbild des 19. Jahrhunderts hier wieder erleben. Eine wirtschaftliche Blüte erlebte auch der Stadtteil Fossegrenda.
Die Werft Trondhjems Mekaniske Værksted TMV war lange Jahre der größte Arbeitsplatz der Stadt, mit bis zu 700 Mitarbeitern. Sie wurde 1872 am Ostufer der Nidelva gegründet, aber schon wenige Jahre später aus Platzmangel an die Mündung des Flusses umgesiedelt. Der Betrieb musste 1982 auf Grund mangelnder Wirtschaftlichkeit geschlossen werden. Das Betriebsgelände wurde ab Anfang des 21. Jahrhunderts zum Stadtteil Nedre Elvehavn umfunktioniert, mit Restaurants, Einkaufszentrum und Wohnungen.
Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts wuchs die Stadt weiter. Grund war der wirtschaftliche Aufschwung nach Anschluss an das norwegische (1877) und das schwedische Eisenbahnnetz (1881).
Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs war Trondheim durch das Unternehmen Weserübung von April 1940 bis zum Ende im Mai 1945 von deutschen Truppen besetzt. Bereits vor dem Krieg wurde von deutschen Strategen die militärische Bedeutung der Städte an der norwegischen Küste diskutiert, und bald nach Kriegsbeginn gab es Pläne für eine Marinebasis „Neu Drontheim“. Von dieser Zeit zeugen noch zum Beispiel Fundamente von Fliegerabwehrkanonen sowie die beiden U-Boot-Bunker Dora 1 und Dora 2. Die Festung Kristiansten wurde als Hinrichtungsstätte für Widerstandskämpfer genutzt.
Im Zuge der Kommunalreform in Norwegen wurde Klæbu zum 1. Januar 2020 mit Trondheim zusammengelegt.
Kulturhistorische Gebiete und Sehenswürdigkeiten
Kanalhafen
Der Kanalhafen (norw. Kanalhavna) grenzt die Innenstadthalbinsel in Richtung Norden ab. Er wurde Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts im Rahmen eines neuen Hafenplans für die Stadt geschaffen. An der Südseite des Kanalhafens findet man eine Reihe der für Trondheim typischen Lagerhäuser, die direkt am Wasser liegen. Auf der nördlichen Seite des Kanalhafens befindet sich der Hauptbahnhof, der die Meråkerbahn (Schweden) und die Nordlandsbahn (Bodø) mit der Rørosbahn und der Dovrebahn (Oslo) verbindet.
Bis Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts war der westliche Teil des Kanalhafens Anlaufstelle für Fähren zur Halbinsel Fosen und damit ein wichtiger Verkehrsknotenpunkt. Weiter westlich im Kanalhafen befindet sich der alte Fischmarkt Ravnkloa, der auch Anlegestelle für die Personenfähre zur Insel Munkholmen ist (Saisonbetrieb). Die Klappbrücke Skansenbrua, die Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts von dem amerikanischen Architekten Joseph B. Strauss konstruiert wurde, ermöglicht die Einfahrt von Schiffen in die westliche Einfahrt des Kanalhafens.
Gassen
Nach dem großen Stadtbrand von 1681 wurde die Innenstadt grundlegend umstrukturiert. Breite Avenuen und Straßen ersetzten die schmalen Gassen, die teilweise auf das Straßenmuster im Mittelalter zurückgingen. Auf diese Weise sollten neue Brände verhindert werden. Doch in einigen Vierteln hielten die alten Gassen stand. Noch heute findet man solche Viertel südlich des Kanalhafens.
Der norwegische Name Veite spielt auf die alte Funktion der Gassen als Kloake an, in einer Zeit, in der es noch keine Kanalisation gab. Ein Grund für den Bestand der Veiten waren die brandsicheren Keller, mit denen viele Häuser ausgestattet waren. Hier lagerte man sein Hab und Gut im Falle eines Brandes. Nach einem Brand wurde ein Haus deshalb gern wieder auf seinem alten Fundament aufgebaut.
Stiftsgården
Stiftsgården (Hof des Stiftsamtsmanns) ist das größte Holzpalais Skandinaviens und wurde in den 1770er Jahren im Auftrag der Geheimrätin Cecilie Christine Schøller errichtet. Sie war Generalstochter und hatte in eine reiche Kaufmannsfamilie geheiratet. Der Stiftsgården wurde nicht als Wohnung, sondern als Treffpunkt für die führende Schicht der Stadt gebaut, unter ihnen die Kaufmannsfamilien, die zu dieser Zeit das Wirtschaftsleben in der Region beherrschten. Als Architekt, zumindest aber stilistischer Anreger, wird der außerordentlich vielseitige Johan Daniel Berlin erwähnt.
Der Bau im klassizistischen Stil wurde nach dänischen Vorbildern entworfen. Das Haupthaus hat eine Breite von 58 Metern und wird von zwei Flügeln flankiert. Die Deckenhöhe im Haupthaus beträgt 4,3 Meter. Zwischen den zwei Hauptetagen ist eine Zwischendecke eingezogen, um den Schall zu dämmen. Die Gesamtgrundfläche des Gebäudes beträgt 4000 Quadratmeter, verteilt auf 140 Räume. Das Innere des Hauptgebäudes ist im Barockstil gehalten und durchgehende Flügeltüren verleihen ihm das Gepräge eines Schlosses. 1906 wurde der Stiftsgården zur offiziellen Residenz des Königs in Trondheim.
Marktplatz
Der Marktplatz (norw. Torget) war das Zentrum der neuen Innenstadt, die im 17. Jahrhundert auf Grundlage des Stadtplans von General Caspar Cicignon geschaffen wurde. Hier treffen sich die beiden Hauptachsen des Stadtplans: In Ost-West-Richtung führt die Kongens gate an der mittelalterlichen Marienkirche Vår Frue kirke vorbei. Die kreuzende Munkegata ist in Richtung Süden auf den Nidarosdom und in Richtung Norden auf die sich im Fjord befindende Insel Munkholmen ausgerichtet. Die breiten Straßen sollten die Innenstadt in Viertel teilen und damit einen neuen verheerenden Brand wie im Jahre 1681 verhindern. Eine Bepflanzung mit Bäumen entlang der Straßen sollte einen Überschlag von Funken verhindern.
Im Jahre 1920 wurde in der Mitte des Markts eine 17 Meter hohe Säule mit einer überlebensgroßen Statue des Stadtgründers und Wikingerkönigs Olav I Trygvason aufgestellt. Sie bildet zusammen mit der Pflasterung des Platzes eine riesige Sonnenuhr. Die Pflasterung hat zusätzlich die Form einer Kompassrose und erinnert damit an die Navigationskunst der Wikinger.
Nidarosdom und Bischofsresidenz
Das Gebiet um den Nidarosdom war seit der Zeit der Stadtgründung das Gebiet des Königs. Lange Zeit lag es außerhalb des mittelalterlichen Stadtkerns auf einer kleinen Anhöhe, die sich entlang des Flusses Nidelva im Norden der Zentrumshalbinsel erstreckte. Im Zuge der Christianisierung wurde in der Nähe des alten Königshofes eine kleine Holzkirche errichtet, die Christuskirche. Sie wurde im 11. Jahrhundert durch eine Steinkirche ersetzt, als der Kultus um den Schrein des Heiligen Olav (Olav II. Haraldson) ständig mehr Pilger anzog. Die Kirche bildete den Ausgangspunkt der erst romanischen und später gotischen Kathedrale, die heute Nidarosdom genannt wird. Sie erreichte ihre größte Ausdehnung im 13. Jahrhundert, als Trondheim Bischofssitz geworden war.
Zu dieser Zeit wurde auch die Bischofsresidenz (norw. Erkebispegården) stark erweitert. Der Gebäudekomplex zählt zu den besterhaltenen seiner Art in Europa und ist zudem das älteste weltliche Gebäude in ganz Skandinavien. Sie wurde im Laufe des Spätmittelalters zu einer geschlossenen Burg ausgebaut. Hier lag das Verwaltungszentrum des Bistums und die Einnahmen des Bischofs aus dem Zehnten und den Abgaben der Verpächter wurden hier entgegengenommen, registriert und umgesetzt. Der Westflügel, der dem Nidarosdom am nächsten steht, entstand im 15. Jahrhundert. Das sogenannte Waagenhaus, mit dem Tor zum Innenhof, enthält Kellergewölbe, welche jetzt die Kronjuwelen des norwegischen Königshauses beherbergen. Im ersten Stock befindet sich die große Festhalle.
Gamle Bybroen und Bakklandet
Die „alte Stadtbrücke“ (norw. Gamle bybroen) aus dem Jahre 1862 verbindet die Zentrumshalbinsel mit dem Stadtteil Bakklandet, der für seine kleinen Holzhäuser bekannt ist, die heute Cafés, Werkstätten und Boutiquen beherbergen. Der Stadtteil entstand im 17. Jahrhundert mit dem Bau der ersten neuen Stadtbrücke, die das Zentrum mit der Festung Kristiansten verband. Sie war Teil des von Caspar Cicignon geschaffenen Stadtplanes.
Am Ostufer des Flusses entstand das Industrieviertel der Stadt. Südlich der Stadtbrücke befand sich seit dem 13. Jahrhundert eine Ziegelei, die bis ins 20. Jahrhundert in Betrieb war. Das Hauptgebäude ist heute in ein Wohngebäude umgewandelt. Weiter in Richtung Flussmündung wurden Werften für den Neubau und die Reparatur von Schiffen gebaut. Hiervon zeugt heute noch der alte Kranplatz (norw. Krana) direkt unterhalb der alten Stadtbrücke. Die Werften wurden auf Grund von Platzmangel später weiter unten am Fluss angesiedelt.
Auch ein Teil des Hafens wurde an der Ostseite des Flusses angesiedelt. Um neue Stadtbrände zu verhindern, lagerte man hier seit dem 18. Jahrhundert brennbare Güter. Schiffe, die Feuer an Bord hatten, mussten hier ihre Waren löschen. Auf diese Weise entstand auch auf dieser Seite des Flusshafens (norw. Elvehavna) eine Reihe von Lagerhäusern.
Durch die Industriegründungen entstand an der Ostseite des Flusses das Arbeiterviertel Bakklandet mit Häusern, die ineinander verschachtelt waren und dicht aneinander lagen. Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts gab es Pläne, den Stadtteil zu sanieren. Diese wurden jedoch auf Grund der Proteste der Bakkländer nicht verwirklicht. Viele Häuser sind im Laufe der letzten Jahrzehnte restauriert und in Geschäfte, Cafés und exklusive Wohnungen umgewandelt worden. Dadurch ist der Stadtteil zu einem Magnet für Einheimische und Touristen geworden.
Insel Munkholmen
Im Fjord liegt vor der Hafeneinfahrt der Stadt die kleine Insel Munkholmen. Zur Zeit der Christianisierung Norwegens wurde darauf ein Kloster erbaut, das später auch als Munitionslager und Gefängnis benutzt und entsprechend adaptiert wurde. Während der deutschen Besatzung im Zweiten Weltkrieg wurden auf der Insel Fliegerabwehrkanonen errichtet, deren Reste und Fundamente heute noch zu sehen sind. Im Sommer fährt halbstündlich ein Ausflugsboot von der Ravnkloa am Ende der Munkegata im Hafen Trondheims zur Insel, die die Norweger gerne zum Sonnenbaden und Schwimmen nutzen.
Ringve-Museum
Das Ringve-Museum ist Norwegens Nationalmuseum für Musik und Musikinstrumente. Es liegt im Stadtteil Lade vor den Toren der Stadt, in einem Botanischen Garten, der von der Technisch-Naturwissenschaftlichen Universität betrieben wird.
Andere
Weitere Sehenswürdigkeiten sind das Justizmuseum (norw. Justismuseet), der Fernsehturm Tyholttårnet mit einer Aussichtsplattform und einem sich drehenden Restaurant und die Festung Kristiansten auf einer Anhöhe unweit der Altstadt. Die Synagoge von Trondheim zählt zu den nördlichsten der Welt. Im Stadtteil Ranheim kann man den Bautastein von Ranheim finden.
Sonstiges
Der Trondhjems Adresseavis hoffte zum Verfassungstag 1905, drei Monate vor der Unabhängigkeit, auf „nationale Erhebung und religiöse Erweckung“.
Die 1767 gegründete Lokalzeitung Adresseavisen ist die älteste Tageszeitung Norwegens, die 1768 gegründete Gunnerus-Bibliothek Norwegens älteste wissenschaftliche Bibliothek.
Die Technisch-Naturwissenschaftliche Universität Norwegens (norw. Norges teknisk-naturvitenskapelige universitet, NTNU) ist mit zirka 20.000 Studenten die wichtigste Universität des Landes und verleiht Trondheim durch den durch sie verursachten niedrigen Altersdurchschnitt der Bevölkerung ein besonderes Flair. Diese Universität, mehrere Hochschulen und Forschungsinstitute wie SINTEF machen Trondheim zu einem der bedeutendsten Forschungs- und Studienorte Skandinaviens. Insgesamt gibt es in Trondheim etwa 30.000 Studenten.
Die höchste Erhebung auf dem Gebiet der Kommune Trondheim ist der Berg Storheia mit 565 Metern ü. NN.
Das Trinkwasser der Stadt kommt größtenteils aus dem nahen Stausee Jonsvatnet.
Nach Trondheim wurde der dem Granit verwandte Naturwerkstein Trondhjemit benannt.
Sport
Trondheim ist die Heimat des sowohl national als auch international erfolgreichen Fußballvereins Rosenborg. Einmal im Jahr macht hier der Skisprung-Weltcup Station. Die Sprungschanzen sind Teil des Granåsen skisenter, das sich südwestlich der Stadt befindet. 1997 wurde in Trondheim die Nordische Skiweltmeisterschaft ausgetragen.
Jährlich im Juni beginnt hier das Fahrradrennen Styrkeprøven, auch bekannt als „Trondheim–Oslo“.
Im März 2009 wurde ein Biathlon-Weltcup in Trondheim ausgetragen.
Verkehr
Das Rückgrat des ÖPNV in Trondheim wird vom Busnetz gebildet, betrieben vom regionalen Verkehrsunternehmen AtB (seit 2009). Im Jahr 2019 wurde sowohl der Fahrzeugpark und das Netz selbst modernisiert, u. a. durch Einführung sogenannter Metrobuslinien mit Doppelgelenkbussen des Typs ExquiCity vom Hersteller Van Hool. Als einzige Straßenbahnlinie existiert die privat betriebene Straßenbahn Gråkallbanen. Trondheim ist Anlegestelle der Schiffe der Hurtigruten und einer Katamaranfähre für den Personentransport, die mehrmals täglich eine schnelle Verbindung nach Kristiansund bietet. Der Flughafen Trondheim-Værnes zählte im Jahr 2018 ca. 4.200.000 Fluggäste. Trondheim ist Endstation der Dovrebahn, die Trondheim mit Oslo verbindet, und der Bahnstrecke Trondheim–Storlien (Meråkerbahn). Züge werden hier von Vy betrieben.
Durch den Fluss Nidelva, den Hafen (UN/LOCODE NO TRD) und verschiedene Kanäle hat Trondheim auch eine größere Anzahl von Brücken unterschiedlicher Konstruktion.
Trondheim hat einen Fahrradlift, der Radfahrer die anfänglich starke Steigung zur Festung hinauf schiebt. Der innerstädtische Verkehr wird zudem unterstützt durch eine Reihe Stationen für Stadtfahrräder (Bysykkel), ähnlich denen in Helsinki.
Für Individualverkehr wird in Trondheim von 6 bis 18 Uhr montag bis freitags eine Citymaut erhoben.

In industrial work, we want to manage work for consistent, repeatable, predictable results. So industrial goals are best when they are specific and quantifiable.
But in knowledge work we need to manage for creativity -- in effect, we don't want predictability so much as breakthrough ideas, which are inherently unpredictable. For knowledge work we need our goals to be fuzzy.
A fuzzy goal straddles the space between two contradictory criteria: At one end of the spectrum is the clear, specific, quantifiable goal, such as 1,000 units or $1,000. At the other end is the goal that is so vague as to be, in practice, impossible to achieve; for example, peace on earth or a theory of everything. While these kinds of goals may be noble, and even theoretically achievable, they lack sufficient definition to focus the creative activity.
What is the optimal level of fuzziness? To define a fuzzy goal you need a certain amount of ESP: Fuzzy goals are Emotional, Sensory and Progressive.
Emotional: Fuzzy goals need to be aligned with people’s passion and energy for achieving them. It’s this passion and energy that gives creative projects their momentum, therefore fuzzy goals must have a compelling emotional component.
Sensory: The more tangible you can make a goal, the easier it is to share it with others. Sketches and crude physical models help to bring form to ideas that might otherwise be too vague to grasp. You may be able to visualize the goal itself, or you may be able to visualize an effect of the goal, such as a customer experience. Either way, before a goal can be shared it needs to be made explicit in some way.
Progressive: Fuzzy goals are not static; they change over time. This is because, when you begin to move toward a fuzzy goal, you don’t know what you don’t know. The process of moving toward the goal is also a learning process, sometimes called successive approximation. Fuzzy goals must be adjusted based on what you learn as you go.
I would appreciate your comments.

Si è svolta dal 24 al 31 marzo, sotto la sapiente guida del docente Umberto Giovannini, la masterclass dal titolo “Sacralità/Sacro – Installazione collaborativa site specific”. Gli studenti che hanno partecipato alla particolare esperienza formativa hanno lavorato alla realizzazione di un progetto collettivo “site specific”.
L’intento è stato quello di indagare il concetto di sacro, nelle due declinazioni di sacralità/sacro e di rileggerlo attraverso l’esperienza del contemporaneo. L’installazione si trova nel RUFA Space.

Europa: Pasajes de Invierno es una instalación site specific de Florentino Díaz comisariada por Carlota Álvarez Basso para el programa de intervenciones Abierto x Obras, en la antigua cámara frigorífica de lo que fue el matadero municipal. La pieza se inscribe además en la programación de PhotoEspaña 2015.
La pieza conformada a partir de materiales de derribo, representa un barracón sobre el que no cesa de caer la lluvia. En su interior, pantallas de video nos muestran las imágenes de vidas anónimas del siglo XX, recogidas de álbumes encontrados en mercadillos, con el Winterreise (Viaje de invierno) de Schubert sonando de fondo. Según la comisaria Carlota Álvarez Basso, son “historias que hablan de los momentos de felicidad ajena que han caído en el olvido, de la fragilidad de nuestra existencia y de la inconsistencia de la memoria, tanto de la individual como de la colectiva”.
“El espectador debe recorrer estos pasajes de invierno a través de estos videos en los que, paradójicamente, no cabe imaginar el trágico destino que aguarda a sus protagonistas, y que nos hacen pensar en el incierto destino que nos espera” señala Florentino Díaz. Respecto al título, Díaz se inspira en El Libro de los Pasajes, el gran proyecto inacabado de Walter Benjamin, fallecido en 1940, que “cuestiona el desarrollo de una historia que hasta ese momento no había cumplido las expectativas de liberación humana, y que en sus ruinas mostraba la imposibilidad de alcanzar sus metas últimas”, explica el artista.
Las obras de Florentino Díaz (Cáceres - 1954) se caracterizan, desde los años 1990, por el uso de materiales e imágenes recuperadas, elementos aparentemente sencillos pero cargados de sentido y de connotación emocional. Desde hace muchos años Florentino Díaz ha ido guardando pequeños tesoros encontrados en el Rastro de Madrid o de las ciudades que visitaba en sus viajes. Objetos, libros, fotografías que a veces nos desvelan y otras se guardan los secretos de vidas e historias de otro tiempo. El artista es además un referente cuyo trabajo ha girado siempre en torno al concepto de lo doméstico, de la casa, concebida como un espacio cada vez más difícil de habitar. Sus instalaciones se han expuesto en centros nacionales e internacionales, como el CAB DE Burgos, MEIAC de Badajoz, Museo Barjola de Gijón, Casal Solleriç Espai 4 de Mallorca, Museo de Cáceres, Salón de los 16, Kunstamt Kreuzberg-Bethanien de Berlín, y en ferias como Art Cologne, MACO-MEXICO, Liste The Young Art Fair de Basel, Art Chicago, Busan Bienal de Corea. Y forma parte de colecciones privadas, museos e instituciones como CGAC de A Coruña, Colección La Caixa, Fundación Coca-Cola España, Colección Banco de España, Museo de Cáceres, entre otras.
Abierto x Obras
Abierto x Obras, en Matadero Madrid, es un programa de intervenciones site specific que incentiva el carácter experimental de la creación contemporánea a través de planteamientos que exploran la relación entre el arte y el lugar que lo acoge, la antigua cámara frigorífica del Matadero. Desde 2007 Abierto x Obras ha acogido las intervenciones de artistas como Daniel Canogar, Jannis Kounnellis, Román Signer, Carlos Garaicoa, Fernando Sánchez Castillo, Jordi Colomer, Los Carpinteros, Cristina Lucas, o Eugenio Ampudia, entre otros. Próximamente se podrá disfrutar del trabajo del artista británico Haroon Mirza.

One very, very specific thing made me want to go back and rewatch all of The Newsroom on HBO. Stephen Amell. That dude from Arrow, in case you don't know. He was talking about Aaron Sorkin in a Facebook Q&A and basically said he liked the show. It made me reexamine my thoughts and feelings on it and I re-watched all 3 seasons (25 episodes). And because of the news climate we live in today, I am sad to see it go. Because now, having watched The Newsroom, I think I get what it was actually trying to do.
When it first aired, I watched it along with everyone else. I loved The Social Network and I thought the idea of Sorkin dialogue being placed on the HBO framework for several hour long episodes would be utterly fantastic. And I loved the show at first. I loved the 1st and 2nd episode of season 1, then things got a bit shaky for me. Admittedly, I had the same complaints a lot of other people had. "Ah, you're just using hindsight to your advantage and cheating!" And now, while I don't completely disagree with that, I get what the show was really ultimately doing. It was showing us simply how things should be. That's all. Not showing off, but, re-doing certain things and certain events that occurred during the last few years. Sorkin says he chose to do the show like this because he wanted the audience to know more than the characters do. Which is fine, but for me, the show has meant more because it is frankly redoing so many instances of bad journalism. The 1st season of The Newsroom was particularly cheesy and overly sentimental...there was a bit too much of that going on.
And some of the biggest problems of the 1st season lie with the characters. Jim, Don, Maggie, Mack - it's almost like the st season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. - only because I was recently watching both seasons of that show. But I was not at all feeling the romances here. Don and Maggie, Maggie and Jim, Jim and whatsherface, Will and Mack - all horrifyingly cheesy and shlocky. These people just kept making dumb decisions and getting mad about nothing, things that they could easily fix, it drove me insane, no one communicates. Once we got passed all of this, and into the 2nd season, this is where we finally got some character flaws and complexities. For example, with Maggie. Throwing her into the situation she was placed in was such a smart, necessary move and ultimately resulted in her being one of the characters who was one of the most emotionally satisfying to watch grow and evolve. There was some criticism of sexism and that Sorkin does not know how to write for women (which is sadly true for the 1st season), but the writing does get better in the 2nd and 3rd. Mackenzie with her weird characterizations, swooning over Will and overreacting at the women he casually went out on dates with. Yuck. Terrible. Hated it.
I was glad to see that most of that nonsense was gone in the 2nd season, or at least seriously toned down. Things got much more complicated and, satisfying on an artist level. Things weren't so black and white. Seeing Jim go on that campaign trail and report from the Mitt Romney bus was excellent. And equally frustrating with how those assholes acted. See, this is where I don't buy what Sorkin says. There is A LOT of conservative bashing on this show, gloriously so. And a lot of the time, it feels like the writers taking some of those old news stories and doing them in a more dignified way, emulating a desire to have our real life media be how this fictional media news channel is. Right now, with #blacklivesmatter, and how the media is horribly mishandling coverage of tragic events that went on in Ferguson and in Baltimore...it makes me wish the show was still on the air.
Thanks, Stephen Amell. smj12.com/the-newsroom/
