Goslar - Goslar (English spelling)

Japanese: ゴスラー - ごすらー(英語表記)Goslar
Goslar - Goslar (English spelling)

A mining city in Lower Saxony in north-central Germany. Population 44,300 (2000). Located at the northern foot of the Harz Mountains, lead, copper, zinc, silver, and gold have been mined, refined, and processed here since the 10th century. However, it is now famous as a historical city, and the city's medieval urban features remain, including medieval palaces, Romanesque and Gothic churches, town halls, half-timbered houses with slate roofs and walls, castle walls, and towers. It is also a base for tourists visiting the Harz Mountains.
