Blankenese is a former independent town, now a suburban quarter in the borough Altona in the western part of Hamburg (Germany). It is located on right bank of the Elbe river. In 2006 the population was 13,011. ==History== Blankenese has a long history as a fishing village along the Elbe River. In 1060, Archbishop Adalbert of Bremen built a provost's residence at the site of an older settlement at the hill ''Süllberg''. Later the counts of Holstein built a castle. Both were destroyed through Hamburg.〔Hamburger Abendblatt: (Blankenese - Wohnen am Hang ) June 26, 2002 http://abendblatt.de Accessed August 11, 2008 〕 Until 1927 Blankenese was an independent town in Holstein and then it was merged into the town Altona by law. In 1938 Altona was merged into Hamburg with the Greater Hamburg Act.〔 During World War II, the suburb held a Luftwaffe Officer Cadet camp, which became HQ 85 Group Signals for the Royal Air Force in 1945.〔(Florence Gould. 'My War Service', ''WW2 People's War'' (BBC, 13 January 2006). )〕 Nowadays, it is regarded as one of Germany's most affluent neighborhoods. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Blankenese」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
