Subject: Places<br>
<br>
Dear Lowlanders,<br>
<br>
Although she herself suggested "Culture", our Hanne inadvertently
introduced a new feature that I think is an interesting idea. I call it
"Places" as a category of posts. It is the introduction of Lowlands or Lowlands-relevant places that are
particularly interesting for whatever reasons. Some of you might like to pick
up on this idea. If yours are in English or can be accompanied by English
versions, please consider to "donate" them to our Travels project <br>
(<a href="http://lowlands-l.net/travels/">http://lowlands-l.net/travels/</a>).<br>
<br>
Thanks for the idea, Hanne!<br>
<br>
In this case, Hanne introduces the Baltic Sea Island of Hiddensee. Located west
of the Isle of Rugia (Rügen, Germany's
largest island) in what used to be East German territory, Hiddensee has been a
tourist destination for generations. It's earliest known culture and language
is Western Slavic (specifically Ranian), though there seem to have been some
Eastern Germanic settlements prior to the 6th century. Germanic eastward
expansion in the Middle Ages eventually led to Low Saxon culture and language
with Slavic substrata, which is typical of the area east of Central Holstein. The island was once under
Danish rule in the Middle Ages, and its modern name is of Danish origin:
"Hedin's Island"
- Hedinsey, until the late 19th century still known as Hiddensjö, though it has
been renamed Hiddensee in Modern Danish. The Polish name of the island is
Chycina or Hycina. From 1648 unti 1815, the island was under Swedish rule.<br>
<br>
The feature of <i>Bodden</i> is often mention in connection with islands off
the southern Baltic Sea
coast. Definition in the <i>Wikipedia</i>:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><b><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Bodden</span></b><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"> are brackish bodies of water similar to
estuaries, occurring along the southern shores of the Baltic
Sea and having a distinctive geological origin.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"><br>
Aside from having been a tourist destination for a long time, partly because of
its physical beauty and relatively many hours of sunshine, and partly because
of its cultural charm, Hiddensee used to be and may well become again a
favorite hangout of famous and want-to-be famous artists, writers and
entertainers, many of whom had second homes or summer homes on Hiddensee. My
own maternal grand-uncle, apparently a man with artistic ambitions, lived on
the island for much of his life and died there when I was a child.<br>
