The Eder is a long major river in North Germany that begins in eastern North Rhine-Westphalia and passes in to Hesse, where it confluences with the River Fulda. == History == The river was first mentioned by the Roman historian Tacitus. In his Annals,〔Tacitus, The Annals 1.56〕 he describes the Roman campaign against the Chatti under the command of Germanicus in 15 AD. Forty-five thousand soldiers of the Roman army destroyed the major centre of the Chatti, Mattium,〔 〕 directly after they crossed the ''Adrana'' (Eder). In the Middle Ages, the river was known by the names; Aderna, Adarna, Adrina.〔 〕 On the banks of the Eder, in the town of Schwarzenau, near Bad Berleburg, a religious group was founded in August 1708; the Schwarzenau Brethren. Eight adults were completely baptised thrice in the Eder. This group emigrated to America where they are still to be found.〔 〕 As late as up to the end of the 19th Century, the river was also known in local dialect as ''Edder''. For instance, in Felsberg-Gensungen, the pharmacy is known as the ''Edder-Apotheke''. 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「Eder」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
