Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Hassleholm is a locality and the seat of Hassleholm Municipality, Skane County, Sweden with 17,730 inhabitants in 2005. Hassleholm was gradually developed from 1860 in connection with the construction of the main Stockholm to Malmo railway line. There was no settlement on the spot before the arrival of the railway. The station got its name from a manor situated in the vicintity of a planned railway junction. It gained the city title in 1914. During the 20th century it developed into a military hub. After the end of the cold war most of the military establishments were disbanded or moved to other locations. In 2002, Hassleholm's Cultural Center ("kulturhus") was opened. It features theatres, a library, a visitors center, and restaurants. East of the town center is the hometown park ("hembygdspark") with a statue called "Snapphanen," by the sculptor Axel Ebbe. The statue reminds of the area's history as a center for Scanian insurgents during the 17th century struggles between Sweden and Denmark. Some of the town's most interesting and distinctive architecture is located along First Avenue ("Forsta avenyn"). The Central Train Station is at the west end of the street, in the very heart of the town. Hassleholm's church (built in 1914) lies at the east end of the street. Hotell Statt, the main and oldest hotel, is located on the north side, and on the south side is the town's oldest building, which now holds stores, offices, and apartments. ...http: //booksllc.net/?l=de
