Deutscher Eisenbahn-Verein
The Deutscher Eisenbahn-Verein (''German Railway Society'') or DEV was founded in November 1964 as the ''Deutscher Kleinbahn-Verein'' (" German Kleinbahn Society"). Its purpose was the preservation of a working branch line with all its installations as a living open-air museum. The term ''Kleinbahn'' was primarily a Prussian concept that referred to light branch lines with lower traffic demands and of more lightweight construction than main lines or normal branch lines, hence the ''Kleinbahnen'' were mainly found in northern Germany. History On 2 July 1966, museum railway services began on the narrow gauge section of line from Bruchhausen-Vilsen to Heiligenberg operated by the '' Verkehrsbetriebe Grafschaft Hoya'', about 35 km south of Bremen, using the steam locomotive ''Bruchhausen'' and one coach. Setting aside a number of short-lived trials, this was the first museum railway in Germany. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Borgward
The former Borgward car manufacturing company, based in Bremen, Germany, was founded by Carl F. W. Borgward (1890–1963). It produced cars of four brands, which were sold to a diversified international customer base: Borgward, Hansa, Goliath and Lloyd. Borgward's Isabella was one of the most popular German premium models in the 1950s, while Lloyd's Alexander / Lloyd 600 model offered affordable mobility to many working-class motorists. The group ceased operations in 1961, following controversial insolvency proceedings. The brand was revived in the 21st century, with the Stuttgart-based Borgward Group AG designing and marketing cars manufactured in China.

Combining features of ancient Roman and Byzantine buildings and other local traditions, Romanesque architecture is known by its massive quality, thick walls, round arches, sturdy pillars, barrel vaults, large towers and decorative arcading. Each building has clearly defined forms, frequently of very regular, symmetrical plan; the overall appearance is one of simplic ...
