Duringthe Weimar era following World War I, the town of Altona was disturbed by major labor strikes and street disorders. Inflation in Germany was a major problem. In 1923, Max Brauer, the mayor of Altona, directed that town personnel should be paid in part with gas meter tokens, as the tokens did not lose value from inflation.[5]
The most notable event at that time was the Altona Bloody Sunday (German: Altonaer Blutsonntag) on 17 July 1932, when 18 people were killed, all but two by police, during a violent clash between Nazi marchers and members or supporters of the Communist Party.[6] In 1938, the Greater Hamburg Act removed Altona from the Free State of Prussia in 1937 and merged it (and several surrounding towns) with the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg. After police raids and a special court, on 1 August 1933, Bruno Tesch and others were found guilty and put to death by beheading with a hand-held axe.[7][8]
On 1 February 2007, the Ortsmter (district offices) in Hamburg were done away with. In Altona, the districts of Blankenese, Lurup and Osdorf had existed and had local offices. On 1 March 2008, the Schanzenviertel neighborhood, which had spanned parts of the boroughs of Altona, Eimsbttel and Hamburg-Mitte, became the Sternschanze quarter, the entirety of which is now in the Altona borough.[9]
Commentators and politicians, including former member of the Hamburg Parliament Stefanie von Berg [de], have noted that neighborhoods in Altona is diverse in terms of social conditions. Von Berg noted that poverty present in the Lurup and Osdorf quarters contrast with the affluent Blankenese and Nienstedten quarters within the borough.[11]
The border of Altona to the south is the River Elbe, and across the river the state of Lower Saxony and the boroughs of Harburg and Hamburg-Mitte. To the east is the borough of Hamburg-Mitte and to the north is the borough of Eimsbttel. The western border is with the state of Schleswig-Holstein. According to the statistical office of Hamburg, Altona has an area of 77.5 km2 or 29.9 sq mi in 2006.
And it is precisely these qualities that we had the opportunity to use when creating the Atona production hall. This Blansko-based engineering company had us develop a concept for a production hall with an administration part, located in the industrial area of Blansko-Vojnky.
We conceived the hall building of the manufacturing part as an architecturally simple block on a rectangular ground plan supplemented with horizontal cladding using sandwich panels. We chose a flat roof, with the same level all around the perimeter.
We decided on a more stand-out solution in the administrative part of the building. The floor plan of the 1st floor juts out over the ground floor with the main entrance, reception, dining room and welfare facilities.
All new and used farm equipment goes through a pre delivery inspection by our service department before it becomes available on the lot.
We offer a full service shop for repairs, and warranty on all the different brands of ag equipment that we sell.
Pelke, then 14, and his friend and fellow goaltender, 15-year-old Curtis Klassen, were at the Pelke home after attending an event for their hockey team. They were watching the movie The Hunt for Red October.
Members of the W.C. Miller Collegiate graduation class of '93 have started a memorial fund and they hold an annual fundraising run to support minor sports and amateur athletes, things Klassen loved to participate in.
"I think forgiveness absolves me of carrying a burden and probably as an olive leaf or an olive branch towards a conversation. And you know, to be able to sit across from somebody and say, 'I don't hold this anymore.' I don't look in the mirror, you know, every day I could see the scars and be reminded everyday of things and instead, I choose to realize that I've gotten a second chance and Curtis didn't."
