The American C-47 was one of the air fleet of the Western allies overcame the Soviet blockade ring around Berlin. The Berliners called these aircraft, which secured them the survival, "Raisin bombers".
The Soviets had broken all connections from West Berlin to West Germany - except those through the air. The situation of the population seemed hopeless. How should one provide an industrial town through the air with 2.5 million inhabitants?
The United States and the United Kingdom took this unprecedented challenge and launched the biggest air carrier of in history, the "air bridge". Coal for heating and power generation and par excellence all need people to life, was about the airlift to Berlin managed to up to 10,000 tons per day. The population was secured.
The planes landed at two minute intervals day and night on dry and wet runway. It was a dangerous business. 79 of Besatszungsmitglieder got life.
After a year, the Soviet Union gave up their Bockade. That the Berlin population and the Western allies together had resisted the pressure, created a new sense of community: from the victorious powers protective powers had become - an experience that the population and the Western allies celebrate together since then once per year.

The people of Fehmarn know to live. The smoking chambers provide the Räucherfische so popular in all Baltic Sea countries on Fehmarn especially smoked eel, a Delicatessen, is not one to be missed.
But the best is and remains the natural beauty of the island. Protected nature park undüberwachte bird sanctuaries were established to get this beauty in the long term.

It was only the cheaper cotton, then the man-made fibers. Linen was "out" and too expensive. The flax Center lost its importance.
The lame citizens made a virtue out of necessity and transformed the market in a big Festival on the 500 craftsmen of old shotgun and grain will perform their traditional craftsmanship. Linn is today the largest artisan market of in Germany. Thus, Linn has an attraction that draws 200,000 visitors.
