Map of the Warini Migrations

The Warini are a Germanic people group first documented by Ptolemy in 77 AD. He Locates the tribe as settling in Jutland. Tacticus mentions them as a Suebic tribe east of the Langobards and North of the Semnones. Until the 500s, the History of the Warini is largely unknown. The Warini probably split into 3 Distinct groups. One group would settle in the Thuringian basin, between the Saale and the Weile Elster, aswell as the Harz Mountains. Toponyms that end in the suffix -leben are a indicator of Warini settlement. Another group settled in Lower Silesia. They were virtually indistinguishable from the Quadi, but until the Crossing of the Rhine in 406 should still be considered as a distinct tribe. The Third group were the Warini that stayed behind in Mecklenburg. In 454 AD, the Thuringians, together with other Germanic Tribes, would rise up against the Huns and regain their Independence. The Thuringians would expand their Influence throughout Central Europe. 

One of the tribes that fell under Thuringian Influence were the Warini. In 500 AD, the Thuringian Kingdom would split after numerous Frankish, Saxon and Slavic Incursions. The Eastern Half would become the Warini Kingdom. A Group of the Warini possibly settled on the mouth of the Rhine. This Warini Group is obscure largely unknown. According to a story, the Warinis compelled Hermegisclus's son Radigis to marry his stepmother Theudechild. The maiden, who is not named in the story, did not accept this, and crossed the North Sea with an army of 400 ships and 100,000 men, seeking retaliation. 

After a battle won by the Anglians, Radigis was caught hiding in a wood not far from the mouth of the Rhine and had no other choice than to marry his fiancée. In 594 AD, the Remnants of the Warini Kingdom along the Saale and Weifle Elster would fall to the Franks and be divided up by the Franks and Slavs. These would later intermix with the Slavs and be known as the Serimuntici/Zhyrmuntici. The Name Serimunt is of Germanic Origin, and indicates that these people's were the descendants of the Warini. In Mecklenburg, the Warini would be assimilated to the Slavs and end up as the Warnabi Tribe, continuing the History of the Warini as a slavic group. The Warini which eventually crossed the Rhine in 406 would be assimilated to the Quadi within the Suebi in Gallaecia.

Oldest reference to Norse god Odin found in Danish treasure

Scandinavian scientists said Wednesday that they have identified the oldest-known inscription referencing the Norse god Odin on part of a gold disc unearthed in western Denmark in 2020.

Lisbeth Imer, a runologist with the National Museum in Copenhagen, said the inscription represented the first solid evidence of Odin being worshipped as early as the 5th century—at least 150 years earlier than the previous oldest known reference, which was on a brooch found in southern Germany and dated to the second half of the 6th century.

The disc discovered in Denmark was part of a trove containing about a kilogram (2.2 pounds) of gold, including large medallions the size of saucers and Roman coins made into jewelry. It was unearthed in the village of Vindelev, central Jutland, and dubbed the Vindelev Hoard. Read more.

New interview with P I think 🤔

https://x.com/fcmidtjylland/status/1827964562643022255

Pernille Harder: FC Midtjylland Women's football is important, and that makes me happy

Pernille Harder, who plays for FC Bayern München on a daily basis, is from Tulstrup near Ikast, and she previously trained at FC Midtjylland. Now the world star talks about his career.

The article you can read here was part of Saturday's match program at the MCH Arena. In the second magazine of the season, we zoomed in on FC Midtjylland Women's Football on the occasion of the team playing its first ever home match at the weekend.

Pernille Harder has tried almost everything worth trying in women's football. She has won championships, cup titles, participated in Champions League finals, an EC final as captain for Denmark, and in addition she has won an award for best female soccer player in the world.

She is among the greatest in women's football, and she was born in Tulstrup by Ikast. She therefore also has a local connection to the region. For those reasons, she also sees it as an important step that FC Midtjylland has now established a women's team.

- I think it is important. In general, I think it is important that the biggest clubs in Denmark also have a women's team, and FCM is one of them. I also have an attachment to Central Jutland, and therefore it makes me happy that it has finally arrived. I may have missed a bit of involvement in women's football in the region, which is why it makes me so happy, as it gives the young girls in the region some good opportunities, believes the star player.

She says that the establishment of FC Midtjylland Women's Football can pave the way for the great talents in the region, and she sees this positively, as it was not as easy for her as a youngster.

- It was a challenge for me. It was not a given where I would play, and there was generally not much focus on it. I traveled to Aarhus every day to train, but it was not an optimal professional setup. I had to take a lot of responsibility myself, and I had to find out myself how I could get better and find the people who could make me better, remembers Pernille Harder.

However, it was not only in Aarhus that Pernille Harder trained in her young years. She was also part of FC Midtjylland.

- I had to fight to be allowed to train with the boys in the club as the only girl, and that gave me a lot, so I trained next to the setup in Aarhus, says the national team captain.

Despite the less than professional conditions, it was never an option for Pernille Harder to give up.

- I had a dream, and that's why I didn't give up. While I was in high school, it was just about developing as best as possible, and then my thought was that I just had to go to another country and play as soon as possible, so that I could get the right training and development, explains Bayern Munich - the player who moved to Sweden at a young age.

Equal opportunities are important

The undertakings in Pernille Harder's career did not come about by themselves, and she explains that the biggest challenges she had in breaking through was to develop well enough on her own, as she herself had to take matters into her own hands, contrary to the situation today, where there are far more well-equipped setups – also in women's football.

Therefore, her advice to today's female talents is also clear.

- I would advise the young girls to be curious about how to improve. Both in relation to football matters, but also in relation to creating a good environment around you, where you can make use of the people around you, states Pernille Harder.

The narrow eye of the needle that Pernille Harder broke through has meant that it now has a special meaning for her to stand up for women's football.

- For me, it is important that everyone has the same opportunities to be successful in what they do. Women's football, perhaps especially in Denmark, has not always had the prerequisites where everyone had equal opportunities to realize their potential, so it is definitely something I am passionate about. That is why it is also great to see the development that is happening now, points out the world star.

Pernille Harder today turns out for Germany's Bayern Munich, to whom she switched in the summer of 2023. The article continues below the picture.

The new development means a lot to Pernille Harder, and she believes that it will mean a lot to Danish women's football.

- I think that these initiatives within women's football, where the biggest clubs on the men's side get a women's team, can help make the Danish female footballers even better, and in this way we can perhaps get an even better national team that can perform for Denmark in the big tournaments, says the offensive player.

- My hope is that you go all-in. That you invest in it and that you go into it to develop Danish women's football. In this way, you get the best conditions for the girls.

- When I played at Chelsea, I noticed that they put a lot of effort into equalizing the teams, and they invested an incredible amount in the women's team. We felt that we were treated with great respect. I think it's a really good way to do it, to treat the two teams equally on several points, states Pernille Harder.

A full trophy cabinet and individual prizes

Pernille Harder has not only experienced adversity in her career, which has resulted in 18 trophies in addition to many individual awards, including twice as Europe's best female soccer player and seven times as Denmark's best female soccer player.

- It is clearly the titles that have given rise to the greatest experiences in my career. In addition, the final rounds with the national team have been something very special - especially in 2017, when we were in the EC final. That feeling when hard work throughout an entire season results in a gold medal is the coolest feeling, says Pernille Harder.

In 2016, as a mere 23-year-old, Pernille Harder was awarded the captaincy of the Danish national team, and this position in particular is something quite special for her.

- I think I got it then because I was a bit the star of the team, and the coach probably saw leadership potential in me. As I have grown older and gained more experience, however, I have developed a lot in relation to being a good leader. Today it is probably due to both, as I have acquired some good leadership skills.

Despite the fact that 31-year-old Pernille Harder has achieved almost everything, she continues to enjoy living from what she loves.

- I guess the only title I'm missing is the Champions League, and that would be great, but it's not like the career stands and falls with it. Now I just enjoy playing a lot of football, that I have a few years left and that I have achieved so much. However, this does not mean that I have finished striving for success, as it is still what drives me, concludes Pernille Harder, who has played over 150 international matches.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (March 8th 2023) — Scandinavian scientists said Wednesday that they have identified the oldest-known inscription referencing the Norse god Odin on part of a gold disc unearthed in western Denmark in 2020.

Lisbeth Imer, a runologist with the National Museum in Copenhagen, said the inscription represented the first solid evidence of Odin being worshipped as early as the 5th century, or at least 150 years earlier than the previous oldest known reference — on a brooch found in southern Germany and dated to the second half of the 6th century.

The disc discovered in Denmark was part of a trove containing about a kilogram (2.2 pounds) of gold, including large medallions the size of saucers and Roman coins made into jewelry. It was unearthed in the village of Vindelev, central Jutland, and dubbed the Vindelev Hoard.

Experts think the cache was buried 1,500 years ago, either to hide it from enemies or as a tribute to appease the gods. A golden bracteate, a kind of thin, ornamental pendant, which carried an inscription that read, “He is Odin’s man,” likely referring to an unknown king or overlord.

“It’s one of the best executed runic inscriptions that I have ever seen,” Imer said. Runes are symbols that early tribes in northern Europe used to communicate in writing.

Odin was one of the main gods in Norse mythology and was frequently associated with war as well as poetry.

More than 1,000 bracteates have been found in northern Europe, according to the National Museum in Copenhagen, where the trove discovered in 2020 is on display.

Krister Vasshus, an ancient language specialist, said that because runic inscriptions are rare, “every runic inscription (is) vital to how we understand the past.”

“When an inscription of this length appears, that in itself is amazing,” Vasshus said. “It gives us some quite interesting information about religion in the past, which also tells us something about society in the past.”

During the Viking Age, considered to be from 793 to 1066, Norsemen known as Vikings undertook large-scale raiding, colonizing, conquest and trading throughout Europe. They also reached North America.

The Norsemen worshipped many gods and each of them had various characteristics, weaknesses and attributes. Based on sagas and some rune stones, details have emerged that the gods possessed many human traits and could behave like humans.

“That kind of mythology can take us further and have us reinvestigate all the other 200 bracteate inscriptions that we know,” Imer said.

Earliest Mention of Odin 'King of the Gods' Found in Treasure Hoard From Denmark

The oldest known inscription mentioning the Norse god Odin has been found on a gold pendant in Denmark from the fifth century A.D.

A gold pendant recently unearthed in Denmark bears the earliest known inscription featuring the Norse god Odin.

Archaeologists think the pendant — which is technically known as a bracteate and made of thin, stamped gold — dates to the fifth century A.D., making it 150 years older than the previous oldest known artifact mentioning Norse mythology.

"It is the first time in the history of the world that Odin's name was mentioned," Lisbeth Imer (opens in new tab), a runologist and writing expert at the National Museum of Denmark, "This means that Norse mythology can now be dated all the way back to the early fifth century."

The inscription, in letters called runes, says, "He is Odin's man" and the name "Jaga" or "Jagaz" in an early form of the Norse language. It is thought to refer to its owner, an Iron Age chieftain or king, who may have claimed the god as an ancestor.

"I think that the wording refers to the central motif depicting a man with a horse, portraying the local magnate or king, who presents himself a descendant of the king of gods and the god of kings, Odin," Imer said. "We have other literary evidence that the kings liked to present themselves as descendants of gods."

Imer and her colleague, linguist Krister Vasshus (opens in new tab), spent more than a year deciphering the runic inscription on the bracteate, which was part of a stunning gold hoard unearthed in Jutland, Denmark, in 2021. The trove contained almost 2.2 pounds (1 kilogram) of gold and is now known as the "Vindelev hoard" after a nearby town.

Norse Gods

In Norse mythology, Odin was the king of the gods; the god of death, wisdom, magic and runes; and the "All-father" of both gods and mortals. Although the Norse pantheon featured dozens of deities, Odin was one of the three main gods worshipped in the Norse religion, alongside Thor and Frey.

Odin is often portrayed with only one eye, because according to legend, he gouged out his other eye to gain incomparable knowledge. He is also the Norse form of the Germanic god Wotan and the Anglo-Saxon god Woden, although they both seem to have had two eyes.

Imer said the runic inscription seemed to be more weathered than the rest of the pendant, possibly because it was a holy inscription that was touched to "gain power."

"It was a time when religion was more integrated into daily life," she said in an email. "The leaders of society were responsible for cultic activities and performing rituals to uphold a good relationship with the gods."

It's difficult to interpret the tiny runes, however, because the words run into one another without spaces and because the name "Odin" is spelled as "Wodnas" and not in the regular form "Wodinas" — possibly because it is written in an early form of Norse called Proto-Norse, Imer said.

Proto-Vikings

Archaeologists think the Norse descended from North Germanic peoples who migrated into Denmark and other Scandinavian countries from about the fourth to the first centuries B.C. After the eighth century A.D., the seafarers among them became famous as Viking raiders in Europe; they established colonies in parts of Britain, France, Iceland and Greenland for a time. Some Vikings even made it to the Faroe Islands and Newfoundland in what's now Canada.

The Vindelev hoard, however, comes from a "proto-Viking" age before the Norse were known (and feared) as Vikings.

The inscription's discovery has already influenced the interpretation of inscriptions on other gold bracteates; more than 1,000 have been found around northern Europe, and more than 200 of them have inscriptions.

"The inscription on the Odin bracteate is actually copied onto one of the other bracteates from Vindelev with a slightly different motif," Imer said. "But the carver who copied the inscription misunderstood the wording, so in many places he just carved some haphazard strokes and lines."

It also seems that the copied bracteate was stamped from the same die as another found in 1852 on the Danish island of Funen and given to the National Museum, although its inscription was never deciphered.

"So, the National Museum has been in possession of an inscription with the word Odin on it for 170 years — but we didn't know until recently," Imer said.

Geiranger to Trondheim via the Atlantic road and Kristiansund

It is still raining when I set off from Geiranger. I am taking this route to Tronheim because I want to drive what is aid to be one of the most beautiful roads in the world. Hyperbole no doubt but worth a look. It is a mix of bridges and a couple of tunnels that connect a series of outer islands together and to the mainland. To get there is rather interesting as I am on the main road and an integral part is using ferries.

I drive down the incline on the main road, my app says take the ferry and I drive on to the quay and join a line. No pre booking required. In a few minutes in comes the ferry; we all drive on which takes about 5 mins and no messing about; you stay in the vehicle, off goes the ferry and about 10 mins later we drive off on the other side. It’s all rather jolly. Those directing the vehicles are university students doing their holiday jobs and they have the priorities right. Cars off first, then camper vans and then lorries!

The ferries are noiseless and electric, with the old diesel engine stacks still present.

The weather has got a bit clearer when I get to the start of Atlantic Road, but the storm is gathering again and so rather than linger I take some pics from my car and head for Kristiansund. I don’t quite get to the hotel in time and which is on the port and when I arrive the rain is torrential and the wind is now a strong gale. The more exposed part of the hotel has been closed as a result. Time to hole up for a bit.

The following morning the wind is not so strong but it is still raining and my weather app says it is not going to clear. I go for a coffee and decide this is the time to head inland and sort a route that avoids high bridges and most of the ferries.

To help get her to dry out, I have the vents open to the engine to get warm air in and I know this will improve over time. The driver door is leaking round the seal so as fast as my left leg drys out, my right leg wets up. The big problem though is the road. Either by design or by use, once off the main highways the roads are not flat but have an element of camber to them. In this rain it means that the right hand wheels of the Morgan are in a shallow channel where water is funnelling down to an extent that is spraying a constant fountain over the windscreen. Would be ok in a taller car but I am too low. I move out towards the centre of the road to get out of this channel, but then the aggressive criss/cross in the central white line area, captures the Morgan wheels and badly affects the steering. No solution; it is just going to be a slow and tricky drive.

140 miles and 4 hours later, I arrive at Trondheim and am glad to have got there. My electrics are all working ok enough as they dried out, but I want undercover parking and find it is all full. I booked the Radisson to get this and to be looked after. But they apologise saying that the weather has caused the problem and so there is no undercover parking and also that they have no food or drink until Tuesday. This is Sunday. Time for trash on the telly followed by comfort food and bed. I downloaded series 3 of Bridgeton before I left the UK; over the bridge by the hotel is an Italian; and I am tired after that difficult journey. Tomorrow I want to get out of this storm for good and am turning north for a 6 hour drive.

And to the question of the Atlantic Road, it’s ok but easily beaten by the bridges that link the Jutland peninsula with Copenhagen and the outer sea wall of the Ijslemeer in the Netherlands. I have driven them both

“When you travel around the world, you are often reminded of how lovely Denmark really is” Part 1

Pernille Harder grew up in central Jutland humility. The popular national team player loves the Danes' lack of self-importance. And then she pays tribute to Lise Nørgaard's fight to set women free and pave the way towards equality. But we are not at the goal yet, says Denmark's most expensive female soccer player.

Which place in Denmark do you like the most?

"It's my childhood town, Ikast. I moved away from Denmark early to become a professional soccer player in Sweden, and ever since I have played in foreign clubs, so I have never tried living in other Danish cities. My parents and my older sister still live in Ikast, and therefore I also associate the city with security. We are a fairly close family who have always spent a lot of time together. It has made me a good team player. My mother was my coach when I was smaller, and although I was better than many of my teammates, I didn't get more playing time than others. There had to be room for everyone, no matter how good or bad you were. If I scored and was the least bit cocky, I was always put in my place. Then I was told that it was also the team's merit that I scored. After all, they had done all the processing. I was also brought up to keep both feet on the ground, even if you succeed. That you don't put yourself on a throne and think that you are more important than others just because you are more skilled. You are not. When I come home to Ikast today, I am also just Pernille. Both out in the city and at home with my family. It is very Danish. And very healthy.”

What is the best thing about Denmark?

"When you travel around the world, you are often reminded of how lovely Denmark really is. I think we are good at not taking things so seriously at home. We are also not as formal and solemn as people are in many other places. We are very little self-congratulatory, and we have no problem making fun of ourselves and each other. That way we are very down to earth. I really like that. At the same time, we are good at giving space to being different, and we were the first country in the world to allow homosexuals to marry. Of course, there is still a difference between being gay in Copenhagen and in a small provincial town. When you live in a big city, you experience quite naturally that life can be lived in many different ways, and therefore one's view often expands. That was probably also the reason why I didn't feel completely comfortable coming out as a lesbian at home in Ikast when I was a teenager, but only did it when I moved to Sweden and had gotten a little older. Today, I only meet support when I walk on the street in Ikast, and I hope that my openness helps to make it easier for others to stand by their sexuality.''

What's the worst?

"The climate. When playing football, it is more fun to do it in good weather. I love sun and heat as much as I hate rain, wind and cold. I could really do without the Danish winter. Today I live in London, and here the weather is nothing to shout about either. Fortunately, I am young enough to have escaped playing on the wet clay courts that my parents played on when they were young. I grew up with artificial grass and synthetic pitches, and after all, it makes autumn and winter a little more bearable.''

What is the strongest memory from childhood?

"I spent most of my childhood playing football. Not just in the local club. I often continued to play with the other children in the neighborhood when I got home from training. We ran around the country roads and broke our knees or fought close battles around the gardens. One evening we had hoisted a lamp up a flagpole so that we could continue playing even though it had become dark. Time flew by and we forgot all about mealtimes and when to go to bed. I always wanted to be the best and early on dreamed of making the national team. But every time I watched the television at home in the living room, there were only boys and men kicking the ball.

I always wanted to be the best and early on dreamed of making the national team. But every time I watched the television at home in the living room, there were only boys and men kicking the ball. At one point I demanded to have my hair cut short so I could look like the players on the screen. It continued like this for a few years, until one day my older sister told me that there was also a national team for women. Then I let my hair grow back.'

If you were to move to another place in Denmark, where would it be? "When my sports career ends and I have to return to Denmark, I would like to live in Aarhus or Copenhagen. Once you've tried living in a big city, it's hard to miss the cafés, restaurants, concert venues and the long opening hours.'

Where do you eat the best meal? "At my parents'. For many years, my grandmother made the best fried pork with parsley sauce you could find in Ikast and the surrounding area, but when she died a few years ago, my mother took over the role of my favorite cook. Her version of fried pork with parsley sauce is not as good as my grandmother's, but it comes close. Maybe it's really about the fact that I have so many good childhood memories with my grandparents that the memories make the food taste better.

After all, you also eat with your heart. I think my nephews will feel the same way about my mother's roast pork with parsley sauce. She is their grandmother, after all.'

Which Dane do you respect? » Lise Nørgaard. It's crazy to think that she fought the women's fight already in the 1930s. After all, it was a completely different society back then, and it must have taken a lot of courage to stand up and speak her mind the way she did. Few did. Back then, women were supposed to keep quiet and behave nicely, but Lise Nørgaard decided early on that she didn't want to be a stay-at-home housewife, and instead chose to enter the labor market together with the men. I can sometimes be surprised that equality.

I grew up with a mother who always had her own opinion, and my father did not sit at the end of the table and decide everything. He also went to the kitchen and cooked. Maybe not quite as often as my mother, but then he did the dishes. Therefore, it is also completely natural for me to take part in the fight for equality.

Sometimes people ask why I bother to come forward, but I'm so screwed up that if there's something I want to change, I'll do it myself. If nobody does anything, nothing happens either.''

What do you miss when you are abroad? "Rye bread. My partner is from Sweden, and she cannot understand that you can be full from a few slices of rye bread in the middle of the day. She wants hot food for lunch. But I love a rye bread meal with a good curry herring or a fish fillet with remoulade.'

'Which season do you enjoy the most? "Summer. I grew up in the middle of Jutland, so I always had an hour and a half drive to the sea, but my parents liked to drive that trip to get to the water. Not least in the summer months, when you could swim. During the summer holidays we always went camping in Italy, and as an adult I also love to travel. Every summer I make sure to spend at least a week in Denmark, because I love the Danish summer light, but I also make sure to go abroad, so I'm sure to get some sun and warmth.'

'Where in the country would you like to go? like to be buried? "I don't think much about death. In fact, I try to avoid thinking about it. I'm not the type to believe that anything happens afterward. Unfortunately. Otherwise, it could be nice if you went to a nice place and saw all the people you've cared about again. My mother's family was quite religious, and so is my mother actually, but I did not inherit that faith. Therefore, I also have the opinion that you should enjoy and get the most out of life while you have it. You do that by being in the moment and being grateful for the things you have, and trying not to be upset about all the things you don't have.

There will always be something you wish was better or different, but if you get stuck in those thoughts, it will be difficult to be satisfied with the life you live. But of course, you have to seek out the dreams you have. That's what life is all about. And when I have to leave here, I want to be buried in Ikast. My grandparents also lie there, and my parents will probably lie there too, so somehow there is a sense of security in knowing that is where I am going. Then the ring is just like over.'

It DOESNT MATTER if the Israelis' distant ancestors really came from Palestine

Leaving aside that "indigenous" in a political sense tends to mean "current victim of colonialism or post-colonial structures" and not "being originally from somewhere" (we don't usually call the French "indigenous") consider the following:

All Slavic people & their languages are thought to have originated in what is now Ukraine somewhere in the late middle ages and spread from there to everywhere they live today. Does that mean I can kick a Ukranian out of his house because I have a czech grandpa?

All the Bantu peoples are thought to have originated roughly in what is today Cameroon. Can any west or central African speaking a Bantu language kick out someone in Cameroon from their house? Or even a black person from the USA or the Caribbean?

All the Germanic Peoples originated from Jutland peninsula (what is today Denmark & some bits of Northern Germany.) - can a guy in England, Austria or the USA kick a Dane out of his house?

The people of Australia, Canada, the eastern USA & to a lesser extent South Africa (where many alre also descended from Netherlanders) are all descended from the English. Can they all come to England & kick an English farmer out of his house?

(they can, however, still in practice sometimes get an unfair advantage over Hawaiians & Puerto Ricans, or put a pipeline or mine through a Native American or Australian Aboriginal's home, or expropriate a black person to build a highway... at least there its not based on directly racist laws, in theory a rich POC could do it too.But in practice the result still often screws locals for short-sighted business ventures, so there is some stuff to be fixed still...)

The Romance languages all descend from Latin. Can any Italian kick ppl out out of everything that used to be Roman, including France, England and Bavaria?

Can any Greek kick someone out out of everything that used to be the Byzantine Empire?

Spain belonged to the Islamic empire for a long time. Can a Moroccan go kick a Spanish person out of his house?

Spain does give Spanish nationality to south american spaniards, (to attract skilled workers & fix low population growth), which I know cause my dad insisted on getting it due to patriotic feeling, but while he could buy a house there & vote, he cannot kick anyone out. Not even out of the exact village where his ancestors lived just 100 years ago.

Heck, the czech grandpa I mentioned? His family was expropriated when Communism took over. After communism, my mom & her siblings got an offer to get their farm/house back, but ONLY if they find the ppl currently living in the house an equivalent place.

It turns out there was a family of Romani ppl living there & it would be hard to find them a big house due to housing discrimination - my mom & her siblings just decided to let them keep the house since they were actually using it & none of us was planning to move to rural czechia. It seemed mean to kick out ppl who are being discriminated & had themselves lived there for decades now, after all we have our own places. (and my mom has, like, a painting of the town's church hanging in her living room & remembers living there as a little girl, & has stories about it, including some lewd jokes about the shape of the mountains.)

They should probably do a similar program in Palestine, where Palestinian families can get still-standing houses back or $$ for rebuilding destroyed villages, but the current inhabitants get provided for. Though probably the state should have to find them a new place, not impoverished Palestinians themselves. In the communist expropriation example, chances are the original owner was richer than the current one, which is different in Palestine.

Let us also consider the difference between conquest & immigration.

Conquest means you disrupt the social order & impose your own rules. This is clearly what was done in Palestine.

Immigration is different - I'm all for the right to immigrate & for ppl to live where they want, but immigrating means you fold yourself into an existing society & follow the laws there. (many ppl explicitly immigrate to places where they like the laws more)

The problem is not jewish ppl living in Palestine because they want to live in the land of their distant ancestors, but rather taking over & oppressing everyone else.

No one would mind my dad going to live in Spain where his ancestors lived. Indeed they would probably rejoice, he is a skilled worker & pays lots of tax. But if he came with an army, rebranded the country "new Cuba", demanded that everyone speak Latin American Spanish & started oppressing the local farmers, that would be a very different issue.

Though of course I wonder how many ppl care more about special treatment & free stuff than they do about religion or "connection to the land". Many might end up going to some gated community in the USA if they have to be equal citizens with no special privileges.

Schleswig-Holstein is the northernmost of the 16 German states. Its capital is Kiel; other larger cities include Lübeck and Flensburg. Historically, the name can also refer to a larger region, containing both present-day Schleswig-Holstein and the former South Jutland County in Denmark. Lübeck was the center of the Hanse, and its city center is a World Heritage Site today. Thomas Mann was born here. The Duchy of Schleswig/Southern Jutland was originally an integral part of Denmark, but was in medieval times established as a fief under the Kingdom of Denmark, with the same relation to the Danish Crown as, for example, Brandenburg or Bavaria vis-à-vis the Holy Roman Empire. 

In the western parts, there are lowlands with virtually no hills. The North Frisian Islands, as well as most of the North Sea coast, form the Nationalpark Wattenmeer (Wadden Sea Nationa Park), which is the largest national park in Central Europe. Germany’s only high-sea island, Helgoland, is situated in the North Sea. The Baltic Sea coast to the east is marked by bays, fjords, and cliffs, with rolling hills and lakes. Islands are Fehmarn, Rügen, Usedom, Poel, Ummanz und Hiddensee.

The longest river is the Elbe; the most important waterway is the Kiel Canal which connects the North and Baltic Seas. The region has been strongly Protestant since the time of Reformation. Nowadays, members of the Lutheran / Evangelical Church make up 53% of the population, Catholics only 6%, and 41% of the population is non-religious or other. 

Schleswig-Holstein combines German and Danish aspects of culture. The castles and manors in the countryside are the best example for this tradition; some dishes like Rote Grütze (Danish: Rødgrød) are also shared, as well as surnames such as Hansen, DIederichsen, etc. The most important festivals are the Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival, an annual classic music festival, and the Lübeck Nordic Film Days for movies from Scandinavian countries. The annual Wacken Open Air festival is considered to be the largest heavy metal festival in the world.

Kiel Week is an annual sailing regatta that has been held in Kiel since the end of the 19th century. It is considered one of the largest sailing events in the world. In recent decades, it has also developed into a folk festival in large parts of downtown Kiel, although the core of the event has always remained the sailing competitions. Thus, in addition to the sporting aspects, Kiel Week offers an extensive cultural program with over 2,000 individual events. These include performances by both international and local artists, who offer live music in around 500 concerts on some 20 stages. Every year, around 3 to 4 million guests visit Kiel Week, including numerous naval units from over 14 nations, more than 4,000 sailors from 47 nations and over a dozen city delegations.

Le Danemark est divisé en cinq régions: Hovedstaden, la Zélande, le Jutland du Nord, le Jutland central et le Danemark du Sud

Les régions, à leur tour, sont divisées en villes et communes.

Les îles Féroé et le Groenland sont des régions autonomes, bien qu'elles fassent partie du Royaume du Danemark.

Une grande partie de la population du Danemark est constituée de Danois de souche. Grandes diasporas : Allemands, Frisons, Féroïens. La langue officielle de l'État est le danois, qui appartient à la branche nord-allemande du groupe des langues indo-européennes. Le danois est assez similaire au norvégien et au suédois, mais a une prononciation distincte. De nombreux Danois parlent couramment l'anglais et l'allemand.

Les Danois eux-mêmes sont polis, ponctuels et modestes. Ici, immédiatement après la rencontre, il est de coutume de s'appeler par son nom et de communiquer avec désinvolture. De plus, les Danois sont respectueux des lois, ont un sens aigu de la responsabilité sociale et apprécient le confort. En même temps, ils n'acceptent pas les adresses polies et omettent souvent "s'il vous plaît", "merci", "excusez-moi". Mais cela ne signifie pas qu'ils ne vous respectent pas.

Le plus grand aéroport du Danemark et de Scandinavie est situé à Copenhague. Il est situé à 8 km de la capitale de l'État et y est relié par train. Le deuxième plus grand aéroport du pays est Billund, situé dans le Jutland central. Les autres grands aéroports internationaux sont situés à Aalborg et Aarhus.
