Friesenbrücke
The Friesenbrücke is a railway bridge in Weener, Germany, crossing the river Ems (river), Ems. Background The first bridge was built under the name ''Emsbrücke Hilkenborg'' between 1874 and 1876. In June 1922 the Lighter (barge), lighter ''Hohenfelde'', towed by the ''Theseus'', collided with the bridge, making the construction of a new bridge necessary. Between 1924 and 1926 the new bridge, a bascule bridge and the first ''Friesenbrücke'', was built with a length of about 335 meters. During World War 2 it was blown up by German soldiers (Wehrmacht) to stop the Canadian soldiers at the Ems. After World War 2, a new Friesenbrücke was built between 1951 and 1952, also a bascule bridge.

In December 2015 the bridge was damaged by the cargo ship MV Emsmoon, ''Emsmoon''. Sinc ...

Celebrity Reflection-Ueberfuehrung

A person may attain celebrity status by having great wealth, participation in sports or the entertainment industry, their position as a political figure, or even their connection to another celebrity. 'Celebrity' usually implies a favorable public image, as opposed to the neutrals 'famous' or 'notable', or the negatives 'infamous' and 'notorious'. History In his 2020 book ''Dead Famous: An Unexpected History Of Celebrity'', British historian Greg Jenner uses the definition: Although his book is subtitled "from Bronze Age to Silver Screen", and despite the fact that "Until very recently, sociologists argued that ''celebrity'' was invented just over 100 years ago, in the flickering glimmer of early Hollywood" and the suggestion that some medieval saints might qualify, Jenner asserts that the ...
