German Cities and German Towns

Hi,

I just have been updating the page about German Cities and German Towns today. You will now have an better overview and introduction on the several pages I have built around German cities.

The cities which are available on my site right now are:

Berlin Germany -- and its long history. Berlin Germany has a lot of architectonic old buildings, such as the Brandenburg Gate. Check out what this city makes so unique and immortal.

Cologne Germany -- on of the unusual German cities. Full of fun and joy. Awesome.

Frankfurt Germany -- Yes, Frankfurt has a lot more to offer than its International Airport alone ;-)

Freiburg Germany -- the capital of Black Forest. I don't know if there is any other greener city.

Hamburg Germany -- The sailor city. It belongs to the TOP German cities as well. More than 1.7 Million people actuall live there.

Heidelberg Germany -- City of scientists, poets, and thinker. Has an incredibly huge castle.

Munich Germany -- Capital of Bavaria. I often say, "Country of Beer and 'Weißwurst'." You can see it at the body of the people ;-)

Schwetzingen Germany -- My Hometown. Does not belong to German cities, it's "just" a town, and a quite lovely one. With approx. 22,000 inhabitants, and a huge castle as well. Almost as big as the town itself. Really!

Stuttgart Germany -- Capital of Baden-Württemberg and of the Swabian region. Has a lot of hills and mountains. People are very nice and... rich ;-)

So that's it.

More German cities will be added week after week. Make sure to check out my Travel Germany SiteMap. New pages will have the "New!" button as an indicator.

However, enjoy your trips!

Inventor of the WWW became 50

The inventor of the WWW, Tim Berners-Lee, became 50

Today, 50 years ago, a man was born who changed the world: The British scientist Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the WWW (the WorldWideWeb), which is the largest part of the Internet. For many of us, the Internet can no longer be excluded from the everyday life world.

Tim Berners-Lee was born on June 8th, 1955, in London, Great Britain. He studied at the Oxford University in England. Today, he has a chair at MIT (Massachusetts Insitute of Technology) within the range computer sciences. He was struck to knight by Queen Elizabeth II. for his earnings/services with the invention of the World Wide Web in the Internet.

But how were the beginnings?

In 1989, Berners Lee was busily with the European laboratory for particle physics in Geneva in Switzerland (CERN). There, he got the idea that one could create a platform for the information exchange of scientists with so called "hypertexts." When one designates hypertexts he means text with inserted links, on which one can click and then gets to a further indicated website or page.

The first homepage was reachable in November 1990 under the address http://nxoc01.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html. Unfortunately, the original side does not exist any longer. However, you can view a copy of this first web page under http://www.w3.org/History/19921103-hypertext/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html.

In 1994, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) were finally created, "to exhaust the full potential of the Web," as it meant at that time -- and still today.

So I thank you sooo much Tim for your invention. You made it possible that I can create my websites with the terrific service of SBI! and its unbelievable support, advice, and fun factor. ;-)

I remember the day I "bought" my very first computer in 1992. In reality, I didn't buy it, I exchanged it with a guy. I gave him my new video recorder, and he gave me his old 8088 machine with a slowly approx. 2 Mega Herz processor. MS DOS 5.0 was running on it.

I even didn't know what a "file" is, yet how to pronounce it. Yeah, I had to learn all that stuff. And today, some things seem to be so difficult, but in reality they are sooo easy. ;-)

Anyway, enjoy your day. And send some thoughts of "thank you Tim!" to him. He deserves it!

Warmly,
Marcus
