Krems an der Donau

Japanese: クレムス - くれむす(英語表記)Krems an der Donau
Krems an der Donau

A city in the state of Lower Austria in northeastern Austria. It is located about 50 km west of Vienna, on the left bank of the Danube. It has a population of 23,713 (2001). It is one of the oldest cities in Austria, and was more important than Vienna until the 12th century because it had a mint. Today, it is known for its high-quality wine production, and has a wine museum, as well as historical ruins such as a medieval fortress, and old Gothic and Baroque buildings such as the city hall and churches in the old city area. Every other year, a state fair and a folk festival are held, adding to the city's vitality. A rolling mill was built after the Second World War, but industry is not the economic center of the city. There have been many proposals to make it the state capital instead of Vienna.

オーストリア北東部、ニーダーエスターライヒ州の都市。ウィーンの西約50キロメートル、ドナウ川の左岸に臨む。人口2万3713(2001)。オーストリア最古の都市の一つで、造幣所が置かれていたことにより12世紀まではウィーンより重要な町であった。現在は中世の城塞(じょうさい)などの歴史的遺跡、旧市域の市役所、教会など、ゴシック、バロック様式の古建築物のほか、良質のぶどう酒の生産で知られ、ワイン博物館がある。隔年に州博覧会、民俗祭が開かれ、活気を帯びる。圧延工場が第二次世界大戦後にできたが、工業は町の経済の中心ではない。しばしば、ウィーンにかえてこの州の州都とする案が出された。
