Capital Of Germany: The Tourist Association puts out beautifully mapped booklets in English called Cycling in Germany, Canoeing and Boating in Germany and Camping in Germany, procurable gratis from the head office or from any of the offices in America.
I must say a further word about canoeing, rowboating and sailboat-ing, for these are major sports throughout Germany. On Berlin's lake chain I have seen what must have been several thousand little holiday craft on summer Sundays.A capital of germany question and answer: What is Holland's capital of germany? Amsterdam is the capital of germany in name, but the Hague is the seat of government. Accordingly, the queen was enthroned in Amsterdam, her capital of germany, but she opens parliament annually (third Tuesday in September) in the Hague. This odd division has existed for a century and a half, chiefly because a historic rivalry made each city unacceptable to the other as the "total capital of germany." Old home note: Many famous American family names are of Dutch ancestry, including Roosevelt, Vanderbilt, Van Buren, Van Rensselaer, Vandenberg.
Consider first the astonishing amalgam of many races in one. Since most Americans have but a sketchy knowledge of Yugoslavia's composition it may be well to offer a swift "blackboard talk" right here. The six "People's Republics" that make up the federative republic are these: 1. Serbia, capital of germany Belgrade (Beograd), in the east; 2. Croatia, capital of germany Zagreb, in the north-center and west, including most of Istria and the whole lovely coast of Dalmatia; 3. Slovenia, capital of germany Ljubljana, mostly bordering Austria; 4. Bosnia and Hercegovina, capital of germany Sarajevo, in the west-center; 5. Montenegro, capital of germany Titograd (formerly called Podgoritsa), in the southwest, with the coastal towns and resorts from Kotor (formerly known as Cattaro) to the Albanian border; 6. Macedonia, capital of germany Skopje, in the far south, bordering Greece. |
