Plateau des Glières, Haute-Savoie, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France.
La meseta de Glières es una meseta de piedra caliza situada en el macizo de Bornes, en el departamento de Alta Saboya, en la región de Auvernia-Ródano-Alpes. Situada respectivamente a 29 y 15 kilómetros de La Roche-sur-Foron y Thorens-Glières, la meseta se extiende sobre los municipios de Glières-Val-de-Borne y Fillière. Alberga el monumento nacional de la Resistencia.
La meseta de Glières es un valle encaramado enmarcado por la montaña de Auges (1.822 metros), la cresta de Ovines (punta Québlette, 1.915 metros) y la montaña de Frêtes (1.910 metros). La altitud media es de 1.450 metros. La meseta limita al este con el valle del Borne, al noroeste con el valle de Fillière y al suroeste con el valle de Fier. Los principales puntos de acceso son la carretera de Glières desde Thorens-Glières o el valle del Borne.
El tablero consta de varios conjuntos. El extremo suroeste corresponde a la gran pradera de montaña de la llanura del Dran, que se transforma en un valle que conduce a Balme-de-Thuy. Limita al norte con el arroyo Paccot que drena la meseta perpendicularmente, hacia el valle de Fillière. Más allá, la meseta se ensancha en el sector del paso que marca el centro de Glières. Los bosques que cubren las laderas de las montañas de Auges y Frêtes dan paso en las partes más bajas a pastos de montaña y humedales que dan origen a numerosos rÃos. Aquà termina la carretera de Glières desde Thorens-Glières y donde la Casa del Plateau y el Monumento Nacional de la Resistencia atraen a la mayorÃa de los visitantes. Hacia el noreste, una vez pasado el chalet alpino de Chez la Jode, la parte norte de la meseta queda excavada por el Nant du Talavé, vÃa de acceso natural desde el valle del Borne, mientras que un pequeño valle se abre hacia el sur. al noreste hasta el chalet Frêchet y termina en el puerto de Spée.
The Glières plateau is a limestone plateau located in the Borne massif, in the Haute-Savoie department, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Located respectively 29 and 15 kilometres from La Roche-sur-Foron and Thorens-Glières, the plateau extends over the municipalities of Glières-Val-de-Borne and Fillière. It is home to the national monument of the Resistance.
The Glières plateau is a perched valley framed by the Auges mountain (1,822 metres), the Ovines ridge (Queblette point, 1,915 metres) and the Frêtes mountain (1,910 metres). The average altitude is 1,450 metres. The plateau is bordered to the east by the Borne valley, to the north-west by the Fillière valley and to the south-west by the Fier valley. The main access points are the Glières road from Thorens-Glières or the Borne valley.
The board consists of several sets. The south-west end corresponds to the large mountain meadow of the Dran plain, which turns into a valley leading to Balme-de-Thuy. It is bordered to the north by the Paccot stream which drains the plateau perpendicularly, towards the Fillière valley. Beyond, the plateau widens in the sector of the pass which marks the centre of Glières. The forests that cover the slopes of the Auges and Frêtes mountains give way in the lower parts to mountain pastures and wetlands which give rise to numerous rivers. This is where the Glières road from Thorens-Glières ends and where the Maison du Plateau and the National Monument of the Resistance attract most visitors. To the north-east, once past the Chez la Jode alpine chalet, the northern part of the plateau is carved out by the Nant du Talavé, a natural access route from the Borne valley, while a small valley opens out to the south, north-east to the Frêchet chalet and ends at the Col de Spée.

Das Ständehaus war von 1880 bis in die 1930er Jahre das Parlamentsgebäude des Provinziallandtags der preußischen Rheinlande in Düsseldorf. Von 1949 bis 1988 diente es anschließend dem nordrhein-westfälischen Landtag als Tagungsort. Heute beherbergt es als Ausstellungsgebäude K21 die Abteilung Zeitgenössische Kunst der Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen.
Das Ständehaus steht am Kaiserteich, an der ehemaligen Festungsgrenze von Düsseldorf, deren Anlagen infolge des Friedensvertrags von Luneville von 1801 geschleift wurden. Unter Napoleon Bonaparte wurden die Grünanlagen angelegt. Gartendirektor Maximilian Weyhe verwandte dann die Überreste der Feste, um daraus 1835 den Spee’schen Graben und die Terrassenanlage des späteren Ständehauses einzurichten.
Die ab 1824 einberufenen preußischen Provinzialstände tagten im Düsseldorfer Stadtschloss am Rhein bis zu dessen Brand 1872. Danach regten der Rheinische Provinziallandtag und die Rheinische Provinzialverwaltung einen Neubau in den bestehenden Grünanlagen am Kaiserteich an. 1876 gewann der spätere Berliner Dombaumeister Julius C. Raschdorff (1832–1914) den Architektenwettbewerb für den Bau des Ständehauses. Es wurde zwischen 1876 und 1880 als Versammlungsort für den Rheinischen Provinziallandtag sowie als Parlaments- und Verwaltungsgebäude im historistischen Stil errichtet. Die Gestaltung als Vierflügelanlage mit Innenhof lehnte sich an die Palazzi der italienischen Renaissance an. Das Mansarddach zeigte Anklänge an die französische Architektur des 16. Jahrhunderts. Die repräsentativen Eingänge an den Nord- und Südfassaden dienten als Durchfahrt für Kutschen.

"Der Schlosspark ist als englischer Waldpark angelegt, im Zentrum liegt der Schlossweiher. Die Idee der Anlage des Gartens im englischen Stil stammt von dem französischen Abbé Biarelle aus dem Jahr 1796. Ausgeführt wurde sie von Maximilian Friedrich Weyhe (* 15. Februar 1775 in Bonn, †25. Oktober 1846) im Jahr 1803. Besonderheiten sind seinerzeit exotische Gehölze, etwa die sehenswerte zweitälteste Rhododendronanpflanzung Deutschlands. Der Park nimmt eine Fläche von 54 Hektar ein. Er ist vom 1. April 2023 bis 29. Oktober 2023 täglich von 10:00 Uhr bis 18:00 Uhr geöffnet. Der Eingang zum Schlosspark befindet sich am Froschenteich 22, 40489 Düsseldorf- auf der Westseite des Schlossareals, also entgegengengesetzt zum Eingang von Schloss Heltorf."

At the start of the Second World War in 1939, the Battle of the River Plate, involving the German pocket battleship Admiral Graf Spee and the British cruisers Exeter, Achilles and Ajax, ended with the captain of the Graf Spee, Hans Langsdorff, scuttling his ship in the harbour of Montevideo in Uruguay. On December 22, 1939, over 1,000 sailors from the Graf Spee were taken to Buenos Aires, and some of them were later interned by the government in the Hotel until 1946. For a brief period the hotel came to life again and some restoration work was carried out.
With the return of the crew to Germany the Hotel fell into disrepair and eventually in 1978 demolition began. On July 8, 1983, a fire destroyed most of the remaining hotel and today the site lies in ruins.

Jøssingfjord is a place of iconic importance in the history of Norwegian anti-fascism.
It was a naval incident of World War II that took place here, between British destroyers and the German tanker Altmark, which happened on 16–17 February 1940.
It took place in what were, at that time, neutral Norwegian waters. On board the Altmark were some 300 allied prisoners (officially internees), whose ships had been sunk by the pocket battleship Graf Spee in the Southern Atlantic Ocean.
British naval forces cornered the tanker and later the destroyer Cossack attacked the German ship near the Jøssingfjord and freed all the prisoners, killing eight German seamen with firearms and wounding ten others, five of them seriously. A British and a Norwegian sailor were also seriously wounded in the action.
Germany claimed that the attack was a grave violation of international law and of Norwegian neutrality, and, in a propaganda broadcast, criticised Churchill's "mentality" of congratulating his navy for "shooting unarmed men".
The Norwegians were angered that their neutrality had been infringed, as they did not want to be dragged into the war. Nonetheless, the Altmark incident sowed doubts about Norwegian neutrality among the Allies and in Germany.
Hitler, who had decided on 14 December 1939 on the invasion of Norway, ordered intensified planning on 19 February 1940 for attacks on Norway and Denmark, which eventually took place on 9 April 1940 under the code name Operation Weserübung.
The word "Jøssing" was born from this incident, it became nicknames for English-friendly anti-Nazi Norwegians.

Auf Tour mit
Der Bahnhof Peitz Ost, niedersorbisch Dwórnišćo Picnjo pódzajtšo, liegt weit außerhalb des Zentrums der brandenburgischen Stadt Peitz. Er ging 1872 in Betrieb. Ein Ensemble von Bauten aus der Frühzeit des Bahnhofs ist erhalten geblieben und steht unter Denkmalschutz. Seit den 1970er Jahren gewann die Station an Bedeutung als Anschlussbahnhof zum Kraftwerk Jänschwalde und zu einem umfangreichen Netz von Kohlebahnen.
Der Bahnhof liegt am östlichen Stadtrand der Stadt Peitz im Landkreis Spree-Neiße in Brandenburg etwa 3,5 Kilometer vom Marktplatz entfernt an der Nordostecke des ausgedehnten Peitzer Teichgebiets am Hälterteich. Die Alte Bahnhofsstraße verbindet den Bahnhof mit der Stadt. Die Station befindet sich am Streckenkilometer 173,9 der Bahnstrecke Halle–Guben, gezählt von Halle (Saale) Hbf, 14,3 Kilometer vom Bahnhof Cottbus entfernt. Die Strecke verläuft im Bereich des Bahnhofs annähernd von Südost nach Nordwest. Jenseits der Gleisanlagen entstand in den 1970er Jahren das Kraftwerk Jänschwalde, eins der größten Kraftwerke Deutschlands
