Halberstadt - Halberstadt (English spelling)

Japanese: ハルバーシュタット - はるばーしゅたっと(英語表記)Halberstadt
Halberstadt - Halberstadt (English spelling)

A city in the state of Saxony-Anhalt in central Germany. It was part of the former East Germany from 1949 to 1990. It is a picturesque town at an altitude of 115 meters along the Holtme River, a tributary of the Bode River, at the northeastern foot of the Harz Mountains. It has a population of 41,400 (2000). Most of the residents are Protestant. The food and luxury goods (canned meat and vegetables), machinery (motors, agricultural machinery), metal, asbestos, and concrete industries are located here. In 1892, the first German Trade Union Congress was held here. As it was the seat of a bishopric from 827 until it was annexed to Brandenburg in 1648, there are many old Romanesque and Gothic churches and historical buildings related to the bishop, centered around the Gothic cathedral that still remains today, making it the religious center of Magdeburg.

ドイツ中部、ザクセン・アンハルト州の都市。1949~90年は旧東ドイツに属した。ハルツ山地北東麓(ろく)、ボデ川支流ホルテメ川に沿う標高115メートルの地にある絵のように美しい町。人口4万1400(2000)。住民はほとんどプロテスタント。食品・嗜好(しこう)品(肉・野菜の缶詰)、機械(モーター、農業機械)、金属、アスベスト、コンクリートの各工業が立地している。1892年に第1回ドイツ労働組合総会がここで開催された。827年からブランデンブルクに併合される1648年まで司教座の所在地であったため、現在も残るゴシック大聖堂を中心に、ロマネスクやゴシックの古い教会や司教関係の歴史的建築物が多く、マクデブルクの宗教中心地となっている。
