[ "Ågot Gjems Selmer, also Ågot Gjems-Selmer, (27 October 1857 – 25 September 1926) was a Norwegian actress, writer, and lecturer.", "Gjems-Selmer was born into a wealthy family in Kongsvinger, Norway. She was the eldest of nine siblings born to Svend Jørgen Gjems and Johanne Rolfsen. As a 12-year-old, the family relocated to Kristiania (now Oslo). She graduated in 1876 she decided to become an actor. In 1883, she married physician, Alfred Selmer (1851–1919) who became the first resident district physician in Balsfjord in the Tromsø region of Norway. After nineteen years, they moved to Ås in Akershus. They had eight children, five reaching adulthood, including the singer Tordis Gjems Selmer (1886–1964), actor Alfred Gjems Selmer (1893–1919), and actor and writer Lillemor von Hanno (1900–1984).\nWhile working as an actress, Gjems-Selmer performed at the Christiania Theatre, where in 1883, she played the role of Petra in the staging of Henrik Ibsen's An Enemy of the People, attracting critical acclaim.\nShe wrote a total of ten books, some translated into several languages including German, Dutch and Hungarian. Some were based on memories of her own childhood in Kongsvinger. These included Da mor var liten (When Mother was Little), describing how she became acquainted with Norwegian cultural celebrities including Jonas Lie, Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson, Ole Bull, Aasmund Olavsson Vinje and Erik Werenskiold. Later, when she and her husband lived in Balsfjord for 19 years, her wrote about family life in the far north. One of her works was published in Germany (with several reprints) as Die Docktorsfamilie im Hohen Norden (The Doctor's Family in the Far North).\nWhile Gjems-Selmer was not among the leading Norwegian authors of her day, she was a recognized female intellectual and a useful source of detailed information. She was also active in the area of women's rights, supporting votes for women.\nAfter both her husband and their son died in 1919, she retired to Villa Soleglad at Ås in Akershus where she died in 1926.", "", "\"Ågot Gjems\" (in Norwegian).

[ "Åhléns ([oːˈleːns]) is a chain of Swedish department stores. With locations in almost every city in the country, including 18 in Stockholm alone as of March 2007, it is the fourth largest group of fashion stores in Sweden.", "Åhléns began as a mail order business. It was created in 1899 by Johan Petter Åhlén and Erik Holm, in the little town of Insjön in the province of Dalarna. The name of the company was first \"Åhlén och Holm\" (Åhlén and Holm).\nThe first item sold by the company was a print of the royal family. Over 100,000 copies were sold, and it was very successful. Åhlén and Holm continued to grow over the years. After only 10 years, JP Åhlén had a company with a worth of 1.5 million SEK and 255 employees. In 1915, the company moved to Stockholm with half its employees. Before he moved the company, JP Åhlén secured a seven-floor storage building.\nIn 1932, Åhlén decided that he wanted to expand the business and create a retail trade store with low prices. He established the Tempo department store and opened it on Östermalmstorg in Stockholm. Åhlén died in 1939, leaving control of the companies to his oldest son. On the 50th anniversary (1945) of the establishment of Åhléns and Holm, the company boasted a worth of 87 million SEK, and with a force of more than 2700 workers.\nThe mail order business was shut down in the 1960s, and a store called Åhléns City was opened in 1964 in the heart of Stockholm. In 1985, all the Tempo department stores re-branded as Åhléns. In 1988, Åhléns City was sold to Axel Johnson AB, which is owned by Antonia Ax:son Johnson.\nÅhléns stores have now been converted into department stores and moved upmarket, and now concentrate on four business areas: Fashion (Mode), Beauty (Skönhet), Homeware (Hem), and Media. Åhléns' loyalty card is called the Åhléns Club.\nIn 2009, Åhléns City's sales totalled 6202 million SEK in stores, and the profit was 216 million SEK.\nIn 2017, a truck crashed into the Åhléns City in a terrorist attack. Five died and fourteen others were seriously injured.", "\"Åhlens progress\" (PDF). axeljohnson.se. Axel Johnson AB. Retrieved 26 January 2011.\n\"Åhlens History\". ahlens.se (in Swedish). Ahlens AB.

[ "Åhlinska skolan (Åhlin School), or Åhlinska flickskolan (Åhlin Girls' School), was a girls' school in Stockholm, Sweden. Active from 1847 to 1939, it was one of the first schools in Sweden that offered serious academic education to female students.", "The school was founded by Karin Åhlin in 1847. It was managed as a private girls' school, initially with only Åhlin and her sisters as teachers, and expanded from 14 students in 1847 to 45 in 1857, changing localities and expanding its activity as the number of students grew. Eventually, it also included a co-educational primary education school.\nIn 1891, it became a gymnasium for females, and in 1894, it was given the right to administer the studentexamen for its students. It belonged to the first four girls' schools with this right, after Wallinska skolan in 1874, Ateneum för flickor (The Atheneum for Girls), and Lyceum för flickor (The Lyceum for Girls) in 1882. In 1896, the school included a seminary for female teachers. Around the year 1900, the Åhlinska skolan was the largest girls' school in Sweden, and during the 1930s, it had around 700 students.\nAmong its noted students were author and women's rights activist Frida Stéenhoff and poet and novelist Karin Boye.\nIn 1939, the school was united with the Wallinska skolan to form the co-educational Wallin-Åhlinska gymnasiet (Wallin-Åhlin Gymnasium) as a result of the new educational reform.", "Sara Backman Prytz (2014). \"Borgerlighetens döttrar och söner.

[ "Åhus ([ˈôːhʉːs]) is the second largest locality in Kristianstad Municipality, Skåne County, Sweden with 9,840 inhabitants in 2015, but the number triples during the summer due to tourists who come seeking the beaches and nature of the Helgeå and Hanöbukten area. Åhus is also famous for hosting one of the largest beach handball tournaments in the world with approximately 20,000 participants. In 2011, in the village of Rinkaby near Åhus, the World Scout Meeting also known as the Jamboree was held.", "Åhus history dates back to the late Iron Age/Vendel period, when a significant trading post was established some distance upstream of modern society. In the 11th century, a castle was built outside the city following the continental model. The construction of the castle was long attributed to the Archbishop of Lund, Eskil, but findings of charcoal in an archaeological survey in 2010 suggest that it may be older than that.\nÅhus was originally called Aos (1296). The name means 'estuary'. During the course of the 14th century, the spelling was gradually changed to Åhus (Aahus 1330). Possibly this change may have taken place through Low German influence.\nBuilt during the 12th century, one of the oldest buildings of Åhus is Sankta Maria kyrka (church of St. Mary).\nThe city was a significant trading post in the Danish kingdom. Åhus experienced its heyday as a city during the 13th to 15th centuries, when the city obeyed and benefited from Lund's diocese. Among other things, a wall was built around half the city and a dike with a moat around half. The ruins of the wall are the second best preserved remains of a medieval ring wall in present-day Sweden. The oldest known city rights are from 1326, but according to the town's own tradition, it is believed that it was founded in 1149, when Archbishop Eskil received it as a grant. An old town, Åhus gained its town privileges in 1149, but lost them in 1617 when Kristianstad was built, following the burning of Vä by Swedish king Gustav II Adolf during the Kalmar War, 1611—1613.\nÅhus medieval town hall, which is mentioned in writing for the first time in 1431, is partly preserved in the building by the square that now houses the Åhus museum. Åhus lost much of its significance with the Reformation in the 16th century, a century when Swedish looting also hit hard and, among other things, turned the castle into the ruin in the port area where it still is today. The period of decline was completed with Åhus losing its city rights in 1617, when the fortress town of Kristianstad was founded by Christian IV. In 1658, Åhus came to Sweden through the Treaty of Roskilde.\nÅhus has long been known as a seaside resort. Already at the end of the 19th century, the bathing trains on the Åhus line ran from Kristianstad to Åhus. On hot summer days, 4,000-5,000 people were able to get off in the current extension of Stubbagatan to wander around Täppetstranden.\nThe town is also centre for the famous Swedish Eel-parties (\"ålagille\"), where people come together during August and September to eat smoked eel and drink considerable amounts of schnapps, preferably ones like Absolut Vodka that is produced in the town. Absolut Vodka is produced in Åhus, and is then exported to every corner of the world.\nIn 1950 an ice-cream factory was built in Åhus, Åhus Glass. The factory was bought by another company, and ice-cream is now made and sold under the name Ingman Glass. Today, the original owners of Åhus Glass have reopened under a new brand, Otto Glass, producing ice cream with the original Åhus Glass recipes — the company is famous for its chocolate-dipped waffle cones. Another ice cream factory in Skåne is Engelholms Glass.", "\"Tätorternas landareal, folkmängd och invånare per km² 2005 och 2010\" (in Swedish). Statistics Sweden. 14 December 2011.

He was the captain of the Swedish national team from 1945 until his retirement in 1954.", "Andersson grew up in a working-class home in a southern part of Stockholm known as Södermalm. His father was working as a groundskeeper at Hammarby Idrottsplats, the home of local club Hammarby IF which he joined at age 14.", "", "In 1934, Andersson started to play hockey with Hammarby IF in Elitserien, Sweden's top tier.\nHe won six Swedish championships – in 1936, 1937, 1942, 1943, 1946 and 1951 – with the club. In total, Andersson made 351 competitive appearances for Hammarby, scoring 150 goals. He played 23 seasons in the Swedish top league, a domestic record.\nHe was known as a hard-working player with a lot of stamina, possessing a good tactical mind and a great sense of play. He was also good at positioning himself and had good offensive qualities. Andersson was, among other awards and prizes, crowned as \"Sweden's best hockey player\" seven years in a row. Andersson formed a strong defensive pairing with the physical defenceman Rune Johansson for several seasons.\nAndersson decided to stay with Hammarby during his whole career, even though he had frequent offers from other teams in Sweden. About his love for Hammarby, Andersson said the following in November 1957:\nA club that has done so much for me, given me so much joy, I would never be able to disappoint. I would have felt like a criminal if I had done that.\nHe won 62 competitive caps for the Swedish national team, scoring a total of 18 goals, and regularly captained the side. Andersson represented his country at six major tournaments, and his biggest achievements were winning the bronze medal in the 1952 Winter Olympics and Sweden's first ever World Championship win in 1953.\nHe is a recipient of the honorary award Stora Grabbars Märke and was inducted into the Swedish Hockey Hall of Fame in 2012; both awards are handed out by the Swedish Ice Hockey Association. In total, he made 134 appearances for Sweden, including friendlies and exhibition matches, between 1937 and 1954.\nAndersson retired from hockey at the end of 1958, at age 40, due to a fracture.

His father was of partly Jewish descent and his mother was a member of the Church of Sweden, while his maternal grandmother converted from the Church of Sweden to Catholicism. He was baptised as child, but did not have a religious upbringing. His interest in Christianity started in his youth: he cites a book by Stockholm's bishop Ingmar Ström as an inspiration which led him choose to be confirmed in the Church of Sweden. He says of his wealth: \"It is a great pleasure to belong to the Bonnier family, and at the same time a responsibility to have this money. The managerial responsibility is also an issue for us as Christians\".", "After having been involved in and leader of the Church's youth organisation Kyrkans unge and volunteering a year in Church of Sweden, he started studying theology and was ordained priest in Storkyrkan in 1984.\nHe subsequently held various pastoral positions in the Church of Sweden; from 1986 to 2006 in the Congregation of Lidingö.

Crown Princess Victoria attended the ceremony.\nBonnier is on the Board of Directors of Gustavus Adolphus College in Minnesota.

[ "Åke Jonsson (born 5 October 1942) is a Swedish former professional motocross racer. He was one of the top riders in the Motocross World Championships during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Jonsson came close to winning the world championship title in 1968, 1970 and in 1971 when he led the championship going into the final round when, a mechanical failure ruined his bid.", "Born in Hammerdal, Jonsson's family moved to Västerås when he was a child. He became a skilled speed skater and belonged to the Swedish top junior elite before his motorcycle racing career took precedence. His physical conditioning from ice skating helped him achieve early success when he transitioned to motorcycle racing. \nAt the age of 16, he acquired his first motorcycle when he purchased a DKW. He began competing in motocross races and progressed to the Swedish motocross national championship in 1963. Unable to afford a new motorcycle, Jonsson decided to build his own motorcycle from spare parts and, rode it to a ninth place in the 250cc Swedish national championship. \nHis impressive results earned him a sponsorship to ride for the Husqvarna factory and with a new motorcycle, Jonsson was able to defeat Torsten Hallman for the 1964 250cc Swedish national championship. In 1964, Jonsson began competing in the 250cc Motocross World Championships and posted impressive results with a third place at his home Swedish Grand Prix and finishing second to defending world champion Joel Robert at the Finnish Grand Prix. In 1966, Jonsson won his first Grand Prix race with a victory at the 1966 250cc Luxembourg Grand Prix at Schifflange. \nJonsson completed his engineering degree in 1967, but delayed entering the engineering profession and continued to compete in motocross. He moved up to the 500cc class in 1968 and won the national championship over Christer Hammargren and Bengt Åberg. Although Jonsson was posting impressive results, Husqvarna's meager racing budget meant that world champions Bengt Aberg and Torsten Hallman received most of their support, leaving Jonsson struggling to secure spare parts for his motorcycle. Nevertheless, he finished in third place in the 1968 500cc World Championship and claimed his first 500cc world championship race at home by winning the Swedish Grand Prix at Motala. \nIn 1969 he was hired to ride for the Maico factory racing team alongside teammates Adolf Weil and Willy Bauer. He rode a Maico to finish once again in third place in the 1970 500cc World Championship. Later that season he won the Inter-AM series in America. The 1971 season would be Jonsson's best year. Going into the final race of the 500cc world championship, Jonsson held a slight points lead over Suzuki's Roger De Coster. While leading the race, his motorcycle's spark plug came loose, allowing DeCoster to pass him for the victory and the World Championship. A few weeks later he took a slight revenge by winning both motos in the Motocross des Nations held in Vannes, France.\nJonsson was injured in the middle of the 1972 Grand Prix season but, almost finished the season as the series runner up. At the last race for the season in Ettelbruck, Luxembourg, Jonsson won the first moto and, was leading the second moto on the last lap when his bike ran out of fuel, causing a DNF. Instead of being the runner up, he now took a fourth place in the 1972 world championship. Jonsson then dominated the season ending 1972 Trans-AMA motocross series held in America, winning nine consecutive races at one point.\nFor the 1973 season, Jonsson was hired for three years, by the Yamaha to ride their new motorcycle with its innovative rear suspension using a single shock absorber called a monoshock. When he first joined the Yamaha team, it was rumored that he installed Maico front suspension to his bike but, Jonsson stated in a later interview that the forks were manufactured in Japan. He had a series of mechanical difficulties and a lot of development in the motorcycle and failed to repeat his performance of the previous years. In 1976, he returned to ride for the Maico team but, broke his collarbone and finished in eighth place in the world championship.\nJonsson retired from competition after the 1978 Swedish national championship season. Jonsson was also a member of three victorious Swedish Motocross des Nations teams in 1970, 1971 and 1974, and three Trophees des Nations wins, 1964, 1966 and 1967. Jonsson has won the Swedish National Championship seven times. After his racing career he ran a Yamaha dealership in Sweden. Today he lives a retired life in Sweden.\nHe was also a co-author of \"The Technique of Moto-Cross,\" with Vin Gilligan, a book on advanced riding techniques for racers. Former Dutch world championship motocross competitor, Gerrit Wolsink, in an interview with \"Motocross Action\" magazine, praised the book strongly, saying that even at his level, he learned helpful information about techniques to use in various situations.", "1963 8th in the Swedish Champion (250cc)\n1964 Swedish Champion (250cc) - 6th in the World Champion (250cc) - Trophees des Nations Champion\n1965 4th in the Swedish Champion (250cc) - 5th in the World Champion (250cc)\n1966 4th in the Swedish Champion (250cc) - 5th in the World Champion (250cc) - Trophees des Nations Champion - 3rd Motocross des Nations\n1967 Swedish Champion (500cc) - 18th in the World Champion (500cc) - Trophees des Nations Champion - 2nd Motocross des Nations\n1968 Swedish Champion (500cc) - 3rd in the World Champion (500cc)\n1969 4th in the Swedish Champion (500cc) - 13th in the World Champion (500cc) - 2nd Motocross des Nations - 3rd in the Inter-AM series\n1970 3rd in the Swedish Champion (500cc) - 3rd in the World Champion (500cc) - Motocross des Nations Champion - Inter-AM Champion\n1971 2nd in the Swedish Champion (500cc) - 2nd in the World Champion (500cc) - Motocross des Nations Champion\n1972 Swedish Champion (500cc) - 4th in the World Champion (500cc) - 2nd Motocross des Nations - Trans-AMA Champion\n1973 Swedish Champion (500cc) - 4th in the World Champion (500cc) - 2nd Motocross des Nations\n1974 2nd in the Swedish Champion (500cc) - 7th in the World Champion (500cc) - Motocross des Nations Champion\n1975 Swedish Champion (500cc) - 4th in the World Champion (500cc)\n1976 Swedish Champion (500cc) - 8th in the World Champion (500cc) - 4th Trophees des Nations\n1977 3rd in the Swedish Champion (500cc) - 23rd in the World Champion (500cc)\n1978 6th in the Swedish Champion (500cc) - 25th in the World Champion (500cc)", "\"Not Just Any Jonsson\". husqvarna-motorcycles.com.

[ "Åke Joel Ohlmarks (3 June 1911 – 6 June 1984) was a Swedish author, translator and scholar of philology, linguistics and religious studies. He worked as a lecturer at the University of Greifswald from 1941 to 1945. Together with the Deutsche Christen member Wilhelm Koepp he founded the institute for religious studies there in 1944. His most notable contribution to the field is his 1939 study of Shamanism. As a translator, he is notable for his Swedish version of the Icelandic Edda, of Shakespeare's works and a heavily criticised translation of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, as well as a version of the Qur'an and works by writers including Dante and Nostradamus.", "Ohlmarks was born in Kristianstad, Sweden and was the son of wholesaler Joel Ohlmarks and Anna-Lisa Larsson. He earned a Licentiate of Philosophy degree in 1935 and a Doctor of Philosophy degree in 1937. Ohlmarks was Swedish lecturer in Tübingen from 1933 to 1934 and in Reykjavík from 1935 to 1936. He was docent and associate professor in the Swedish language in Greifswald from 1941 to 1945. Ohlmarks was director of Europafilm's manuscript department from 1950 to 1959, visiting professor in Zürich in 1965 and head of the Institut für vergleichende Felsbildforschung in Rheinklingen in 1966. He was also a co-worker of the Die Tat in Zürich from 1966.\nHe was chairman of the Association of Nordic Philologists (Föreningen nordiska filologer) in Lund from 1931 to 1934 and of the Academic Society for the Swedish-Baltic Cooperation (Akademiska föreningen för svensk-baltiskt samarbete) from 1938 to 1940. Ohlmarks was secretary in the Science of Religion Coummunity (Religionsvetenskapliga samfundet) in Lund from 1936 and the community Ad patriam illustrandam in 1963.", "Ohlmarks translation of Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings was strongly disliked by the author, prompting him to compile his Guide to the Names in The Lord of the Rings. Ohlmarks not only invented many expressions of his own, but also took great liberties with the contents of Tolkien's work, both by shortening many parts of it and by inserting his own interpretations. Tolkien was also dissatisfied by the title Sagan om ringen, \"The Saga of the Ring\".\nAs a result of the severe criticism directed against his translation of The Lord of the Rings, both by Tolkien himself and by Swedish Tolkien fandom, Ohlmarks in the late 1970s began to display hostility towards the \"Tolkien phenomenon\", and in 1982 published a book titled Tolkien and Black Magic,\nexpounding a conspiracy theory connecting Tolkien and Tolkien fandom with Nazi occultism.\nDespite the criticism and controversy, Ohlmarks's translations remained the only Swedish-language translations of The Lord of the Rings until the publication of a completely new version by Erik Andersson and Lotta Olsson in 2005.", "In his second marriage, in 1954, he married Letty Steenstrup (born 1919), the daughter of Erling Steenstrup and Ruth Strandnaes. In his third marriage, in 1969, he married editorial assistant Monica Suter (born 1940), daughter of Adolf Suter von Schwyz and his wife.

[ "Åke Senning (* 14 December 1915 in Rättvik, Sweden; † 21 July 2000 in Zurich, Switzerland) was a Swedish cardiac surgeon who worked at Zurich University Hospital from 1961 until his retirement in 1985.", "Åke Senning was born to the Swedish veterinarian David Senning and the nurse Elly Senning, née Säfström. He finished his schooling in Uppsala with the baccalaureate. He actually wanted to become an engineer. However, as a nurse in World War 1, his mother persuaded him to study medicine. He subsequently completed the pre-clinical part of his studies in Uppsala, the clinical part and his state examination in Stockholm in 1948. His subsequent further training in Stockholm included general surgery, orthopaedics and thoracic and neurosurgery.\nClarence Crafoord introduced him to the field of cardiac surgery in 1948. The influence of this eminent surgeon, who had a major impact on thoracic and cardiac surgery, sparked Senning's love of cardiac surgery and thus helped determine the direction of his work throughout his life. Åke Senning has always thanked his academic teacher for this and held him in high esteem. With his work on electrically induced ventricular fibrillation to prevent air embolisms in cardiac surgery, he significantly reduced the risk of complications in cardiac surgery. With this, Senning became a private lecturer in Experimental Thoracic and Cardiac Surgery in Stockholm in 1952 and was appointed Extraordinary Professor of Surgery in 1956. In 1957 he was elected senior physician in the Department of Thoracic Surgery at the Karolinska University Hospital (Karolinska Sjukhuset). In 1961, he followed the call to the chair of surgery at the University of Zurich and thus succeeded Theodor Billroth, Rudolf U. Krönlein, Ferdinand Sauerbruch, and Alfred Brunner.\nAs Alfred Brunner's direct successor, he took up his post on 16 April 1961 as director of the Surgical University Clinic A in Zurich - with over 120 beds and 18 intensive care beds - where he worked with great dedication and energy until his retirement a quarter of a century later on 15 April 1985. In the first nine months of his tenure, 108 heart operations were performed, two years later 264 and in his last year in office 937. In 1969, he performed the first two heart transplantss in Switzerland. At the beginning of his Zurich days, the lethality rate of patients operated on by heart-lung machine was over 50 per cent and the age limit for such an operation was 35! Ten years later (1979), the lethality rate was less than one per cent, and the age limit was no longer the calendar age, but the biological age of the patients!\nAfter his retirement, he continued to live in Zurich. Together with some of his former colleagues, he was instrumental in setting up the Zurich Hirslanden Heart Centre. All over the world he assisted appointed surgeons and guided them in his heart operations, which are now considered classic. He used the golf club to keep his hands supple, because he had never learned to sit still. With an unusual vitality he survived several operations he had to undergo. It was characteristic of him, for example, that after a serious skiing accident with a broken knee, he operated again the very next day with his leg in plaster.\nDuring his career he published 350 articles in the fields of medical technology, thoracic, cardiovascular and general surgery, kidney and heart transplantation, treatment of vertebral tumours and renal artery stenosis.\nHe was buried at the Fluntern Cemetery in Zurich.", "Heart-lung-machine \nIt was Clarence Crafoord who put him in a windowless basement room at the Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm and gave him the task of developing a heart-lung machine, which he succeeded in doing in a relatively short time. This achievement by Senning shows that external working conditions are never general prerequisites for the success of a work. Often - as here - the opposite is the case: external restriction leads to inward concentration. This is how the first heart-lung machine with the roller oxygenator and the associated hypothermia came into being.\nRoll Oxygenator \nSenning's personal contributions to the development of cardiac, vascular and thoracic surgery begin as early as 1949 with the development of a Roller Oxygenator, which was successful in animal experiments in 1951 and successfully used in the world's second operation on humans and the first in Europe in 1953.\n Open-heart surgery on humans \nTogether with Clarence Crafoord, he performed the first successful open-heart surgery on humans in Europe using the heart-lung machine in 1953.\nImplantable heart pacemaker \nTogether with the electrical engineer Rune Elmqvist, Åke Senning developed the first implantable pacemaker in 1958, consisting of two externally rechargeable NiCd cells and a blocking oscillator (pulse amplitude 2.5 V, duration 2 ms, frequency 70 Hz) with two germanium transistors. The components of the first device were placed in a shoe polish box and this was filled with epoxy resin.\nWhen Senning implanted this first implantable pacemaker in the 43-year-old patient Arne Larsson on 8 October 1958 and subsequently developed this invention further, he was asked on several occasions to patent his research results. However, Senning was opposed to any medical patent on the grounds that valuable time would be lost and that the suffering people would only benefit from his idea much later. He repeatedly said: \"Medical discoveries belong to the patients and not to the inventor. If we hadn't invented it, someone else would have done it tomorrow\". If he had earned even a few francs from each pacemaker, he would have been spared the eternal search for research funds. This innate spontaneous wisdom testifies to Senning's unusual reverence for the sick person. For him, freedom of research and ethics of the researcher were indispensable requirements for medical research.\nArne Larsson, the first pacemaker patient, outlived his surgeon after having to replace 26 pacemakers due to battery exhaustion over the past almost 43 years. He died a year after Senning's death from metastatic melanoma.\nTransposition of the great vessels \nThe so-called transposition of the great vessels is a congenital malformation in which the aorta is connected to the right and the pulmonary artery to the left ventricle of the heart. In the absence of other malformations, such as an open atrial septal defect or an open ductus arteriosus botalli, the children die shortly after birth. In Senning's neighbour's house in Sweden, a child died of a transposition of the great vessels. Inspired by this sad case, Senning spent all night scribbling drawings on paper that only he could read. With his enormous three-dimensional imagination, Senning's surgical method for correcting transposition of the great vessels was created that night, which was to make history as the Senning operation. The ingenious technical execution could have occurred to someone else, but much more important was Senning's realisation that the right ventricle could also generate systemic pressure. Besides curing numerous children with transposition of the great vessels, this idea also paved the way for many other heart operations.\nElectrically induced ventricular fibrillation\nAs early as 1951, he completed the extracorporeal circuit technique, using electrically induced ventricular fibrillation during cardiac arrest to prevent air embolism and hypothermia to reduce oxygen consumption. Decades later, when asked what was the most important of his inventions, he replied: Electrically induced ventricular fibrillation to prevent air embolism; that saved the most lives! Later it was replaced by drug-induced cardioplegia.\nCorrection of defective confluence of pulmonary veins with left atrium \nTwo years later (1956) he performed the first total correction of a congenital malposition of the junction of the pulmonary veins with the left atrium, and in 1958 the first total correction of a complete transposition of the great vessels mentioned above.\nWorld's first operation on the coronaries using the strip graft technique \nSince 1955, long before the first bypass operation by René Favaloro in Cleveland in 1968, Senning had been experimentally and later clinically involved in coronary surgery. In 1958, he successfully performed the first coronary operation worldwide using the strip-graft technique, i.e. the first endarterectomy of the coronary arteries, which was completed with a vena saphena graft. In the same year, he inserted an implantable pacemaker for the first time, a step that would later save the lives of millions.\nCorrection of an atrial septal defect\nIn 1959, he closed an atrial septal defect.\nSurgical technique left atrial bypass \nIn 1963 followed the first successful use of a left heart bypass, the first step for the LVAD (left ventricular assist device), the artificial left heart, so common today.\nDevelopment of an aortic valve replacement \nTogether with Donald N. Ross in London, Senning also opened the way for anticoagulation-free follow-up of heart valve patients. Independently and without knowledge of D. Ross' autografting of the pulmonary valve, he developed the technique of aortic valve replacement by free autografts of the fascia lata two months after Ross in October 1962. Together with Martin Rothlin, he was then able to report, in 1971, 141 cases that he had corrected the aortic valve with this surgical method, as well as over 100 cases of mitral valve reconstruction. Again, this was one of his early Zurich achievements that was adopted throughout the world.\nKidney transplants \nHaving barely arrived in Switzerland, Senning performed the first kidney transplantation in Switzerland on 17 December 1964 and shortly afterwards published the first major series of over 30 kidney transplants with cadaveric kidneys. Although the typing and organ reservation possibilities as well as the internal post-treatment therapy with immunosuppression were not yet sufficiently developed, his results of the first kidney transplants hardly differed from those of today. It is worth mentioning here that Senning's first kidney transplant series was the first to be published worldwide and that it was groundbreaking for the subsequent Largiadèr era.\nHeart transplants \nOn 14 April 1969, Senning performed the first heart transplantation in Switzerland, and shortly afterwards the second. He refrained from further heart transplants, stating that a heart transplant was not a surgical problem but a pharmaceutical one. Thus, regular heart transplants were not performed in Züriche until ten years later, when cyclosporine, which brought the clinical breakthrough of heart transplantation, was available. Nevertheless, Senning's already perfected surgical technique of heart transplantation is astonishing. Christiaan Barnard, the great South African heart surgeon, needed seven hours for the first heart transplant, whereas Senning needed three hours for the first and only two hours for the second, and this already in 1969! Senning's students thus opened the way for the introduction of heart transplantation in Switzerland.\nCorrection of a Budd-Chiari syndrome \nA milestone was the ingenious correction of a Budd-Chiari syndrome, crowned with success in 1981, in which he surgically removed the outflow stenosis of the hepatic veins through the right heart. This opened up a new path for liver surgery. This idea was in turn so groundbreaking that the banal liver puncture, a routine method, has nowadays been replaced by the transvenous, transatrial liver biopsy. This eliminated the risk of intra-abdominal haemorrhage.\nBalloon dilatation \nAndreas Grüntzig, who first performed the now widely used coronary balloon dilatation in Zurich on 16 December 1977, needed Senning's assistance because the delicate coronary vessel could rupture during dilatation and the patient could die shortly afterwards. This first balloon dilatation in humans was performed in the animal laboratory of cardiac surgery, which not only had more modern equipment than cardiology, but also the neighbouring animal operating room could be converted at short notice for open-heart surgery in humans. Åke Senning and Marco Turina were standing by next to Grüntzig so that, in the event of a rupture of the coronary artery, they could intervene immediately with the surgical team standing by in the animal experimental laboratory. Andreas Grüntzig never forgot this and always mentioned the importance of Senning in the development of balloon dilatation. His direct superiors would never have allowed him to perform balloon dilatation on the coronary arteries.\nFurther developments\nSimilar small and larger advances were also the development of the intra-arterial vascular coil, a precursor of intra-arterial vascular prostheses, together with Dierk Maas, the various pacemaker electrodes together with Istvan Babotai, the baby heart-lung machine together with Babotai and Marco Turina, the left diaphragm replacement with pedicled pericardial valves together with Paul Hahnloser, the technique of kidney transplantation together with Felix Largiadèr and the removal of renal artery stenoses together with Georg Mayor and Ernst Zingg. But also Martin Rothlin, Willy Meier, Ruth Gattiker, O. Läpple, Markus Jenny and many other collaborators contributed ideas which he then put into practice. The small Senning Bulldog clamp, the Senning suction cup, the Senning/Babotai valve of the Siemens respirator, the numerous modifications of the pacemaker electrodes, which finally led to the Babotai Helix electrode.\nFurthermore, the Björck's thoracoplasty, which was first performed by Senning while still in Stockholm, and the funnel chest correction according to Senning-Johansson, which was first performed in 1951.\nNot to be forgotten are the series of open heart massages in the operating theatre preparation rooms of the early days, the deep hypothermia of infants in a bathtub filled with ice, the more than 120 successful resuscitations since the first coronary patient performed by Eddie Linder in the IPS. Achievements that would not have been possible without Senning's inspiration and enthusiasm.\nFirst intensive care unit in Central Europe\nFew people know that the first intensive care unit in Central Europe was installed on 17 April 1961 in three offices of the Surgical Clinic A and that the world's first cardiac surgery intensive care unit, then called the Cardiac Awake Room, was set up in an aft room of the same clinic. Already in the first nine months of his tenure (1961), 108 heart operations were performed and treated post-operatively in this intensive care unit. Two years later there were already 264 and in his last full year in office in 1984 there were 937. With this, too, Senning wrote medical history.\nHis concept of intensive medicine differed from that of intensive care physicians and anaesthesiologists. Senning was far ahead of his time, because he demanded and enforced that each discipline should have its own intensive care unit. Surgeons, internists, paediatricians and other specialists should continue to look after their patients together with the anaesthetist, as is the case in the operating theatre. For Senning, it was unthinkable to hand over responsibility for his patients for a few hours or days to a third party who had not previously seen the patient. He himself retained responsibility for his patients throughout the entire period of hospitalisation. Thus, several intensive care units with separate management were established in Zurich, such as the cardiac, general and thoracic surgery, medical, traumatology, neurosurgery, gynaecology-obstetrics, urology, paediatrics, neonatology intensive care units and the intensive care unit for burn patients. A concept that is not always readily recognised as a much better one for the highly specialised university hospitals or other tertiary centres. Senning's principle has stood the test of time for tertiary centres. Worldwide, the Haematological, Neonatological, Paediatric, Cardiac, Coronary, Neurosurgical, Traumatological and Burn Intensive Care Units are already self-sufficient in tertiary centres.", "Senning worked ceaselessly on his own further education, and hardly a holiday or congress went by without him looking over the shoulder of a colleague. Every time he returned from a trip, he reported on it and soon tried out what he had seen. The most impressive thing was how he improved and perfected these techniques! In transmitting the knowledge, the clinical teacher Senning exemplified how the knowledge had to be put into practice. He lacked the many words that are important for the beginner, and he hated the paper that many assistants expected as guidance. Numerous and exemplary, however, were his actions, from which the advanced students benefited extremely. Here the full power of his personality could be fully developed, and the manner of his instructive operating has become an unforgettable experience for a whole generation of young and older surgeons. Senning practised the art of the born teacher, not to work by coercion, but to encourage independent learning. This was the secret of his impact.\nThe medical profession requires knowledge, ability and personality. For Senning, knowledge and ability were prerequisites for his work, but not the sole content of his personality. This bore the stamp of a unique individuality which, through the inner fusion of knowledge and ability, gave him a personality that those around him could not escape. His students know that truthfulness was his supreme law in research, clinic and teaching. Many suggestions of a scientific nature, which mostly arose from observations at the bedside, emanated from him.", "Senning was one of the few masters of surgery in general, one of the great clinicians of the old style, who consolidated the reputation of Zurich, but also of Swiss and European medicine in general in the world. He was a born upstream swimmer. He never allowed himself to drift, because he was always aware that things could only go downhill in this way. Senning's ideal was the constant improvement of performance, according to his credo: \"Don't give up, try again, try harder\".\nSenning's actions also included his absolute love of truth. Just as every cover-up in the clinic led to disaster, every admission of a mistake, on the other hand, to friendly, even fatherly advice, he was uncompromising even in matters of truthfulness.\nIn his private life, he sought recreation in skiing, golf, sailing, dancing (Senning's dancing skills were legendary). At one of the research parties that remained famous, he danced with a female co-worker. She had already been treated for a long time by various doctors for her headaches, but no one had found out what she was suffering from. She was wearing a long dress with a bare back and suddenly fell fainting into his arms. Senning felt the flickering of the subcostally enlarged arteries, the so-called collaterals, on her bare back as she danced and said to her: You have aortic isthmic stenosis; we'll operate on it tomorrow, then you'll be fit again next week. She was operated on a week later, and shortly afterwards she was back in charge of her department. The headaches had disappeared.", "1965 Clement Price Thomas Award des Royal College of Surgeons of England\n1965 Olof af Acrel-Preis der Schwedischen Chirurgengesellschaft\n1976 Aachener und Münchener Preis für Technik und angewandte Naturwissenschaften\n1977 René Lériche-Preis der Societé Internationale de Chirurgie\n1978 Prix Mondial Nessim Habif der Universität Genf\n1979 Ernst Jung-Preis für Medizin\nThe Swedish King honoured Prof. Senning with the Royal Order of the Seraphine (Swedish Kungliga Serafimerorden) as well as the Royal Order of the North Star (Swedish Kungliga Nordstjärneorden).", "1968 Member of the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina\n1970 Honorary Member of the American College of Surgeons\n1970 Corresponding Member of the American, Chilean and Italian Societies of Surgeons\n1971 Honorary Member of International College for Angiology\n1971 Honorary Member of the British and Irish Society for Thoracic, Cardiac and Vascular Surgery\n1974 Honorary Member of the Rinnovamento Medico in Roma\n1974 Honorary member of the Panhellenic Society of Surgeons in Athens\n1975 Honorary Member of the Royal College of Edinburgh\n1976 Honorary Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England\n1976 Honorary Member of the Polish Socitety of Surgeons\n1981 Honorary Member of the Egyptic Cardiovascular Socitety\n1982 Honorary Member of the European Cardiovascular Society\n1984 Honorary Member of the German Surgeon Society", "Senning Å., Johansson, L.

[ "Karl Åke Seyffarth (15 December 1919 – 1 January 1998) was a Swedish speed skater who specialised in long distance events. He set new world records on the 5,000 m (8:13.7) in 1941 and on the 3000 m (4:45.7) in 1942. He became European Allround Champions in 1947, winning both the 5,000 m and the 10000 m on his way to becoming European Champion. In addition to speed skating, Seyffarth also was one of Sweden's leading cyclists, but this career was hampered by an injury in a dirt biking accident in 1943.\nSeyffarth participated in the 1948 Winter Olympics in St. Moritz, the first Winter Olympic Games to be held in twelve years. As a result of the lack of competition during, and shortly after, World War II, Seyffarth entered the 5,000 m as the world record holder, a record he had set almost exactly seven years earlier, in 1941. During his heat, Seyffarth seemed to be winning until a photographer tried to take a picture of him and stepped onto the ice. Seyffarth brushed the photographer, losing several seconds, and went on to lose his heat and finally come in seventh overall. The winner of the race was Reidar Liaklev with a time of 8:29.4, well above Seyffarth's 1941 world record of 8:13.7. Seyffarth's official 5,000 m time was 8:37.9.\nThe day after his disappointing 5000 m race, Seyffarth won Olympic silver on the 1,500 m, half a second behind Norwegian skater Sverre Farstad. The day after that, Seyffarth won Olympic gold on the 10000 m with a time of 17:26.30, not a particularly fast time considering that the world record at the time was 17:01.50. He won with relative ease, however, almost ten seconds ahead of silver medallist Lassi Parkkinen from Finland.", "Domestically Seyffarth won 22 Single Distance Championships between 1940 and 1948. Note that Sweden did not have any National Allround Championships from 1935 to 1962 – only National Single Distance Championships.", "Over the course of his career, Seyffarth skated two world records:\nSource: SpeedSkatingStats.com", "To put these personal records in perspective, the column WR lists the official world records on the dates that Seyffarth skated his personal records.\nNote that Seyffarth's personal records on the 1000 m and the 3000 m were not recognised as official world records by the International Skating Union.\nSeyffarth has an Adelskalender score of 188.678 points. He was number one on the Adelskalender for a total of 3640 days, from 4 February 1942 until 23 January 1952. This long period included World War II – during that war, and for a few years afterwards, very few competitions were held.", "Seyffarth died on 1 January 1998, at Mora, Sweden, at the age of 78, 14 days before his 79th birthday and several years after suffering a stroke.", "Åke Seyffarth. sports-reference.com\nÅke Seyffarth.

He was active at Uppsala University where he studied under the supervision of Filip Hjulström eventually succeeding him on the chair of physical geography. Besides his studies of rivers Sundborg made contributions on the climate of cities, the distribution of loess and the sedimentation of reservoirs and lakes. He studied rivers in Sweden as well as various large rivers in Africa and Asia.", "Sundborg's filosofie licentiat thesis had as subject the city climate of Uppsala. The thesis came to be internationally recognized with climatologist Helmut Landsberg praising it for containing one of the first theories on the climate of cities.\nÅke Sundborg was drawn to the charismatic Filip Hjulström who influenced him to shift his field of study and pursue Ph.D. studies on fluvial geomorphology under his tutelage. Sundborg's 1956 Ph.D. thesis explored the link between geomorphology and hydrology in the meanders of the lower course of Klarälven in his native Värmland. The thesis came to be considered a reference work for similar studies. By 1956 Åke Sundborg had greatly improved the Hjulström curve diagram adding lines and a higher level of detail. Subsequently, he was employed by the Uppsala University where he directed the construction of the geomorphological laboratory. Over time this laboratory attracted numerous visiting scholars and Ph.D. students. Together with the other Ph.D. students of Hjulström, Anders Rapp, Valter Axelsson and John O. Norrman, Sundborg was part of what came to be known as the Uppsala School of Physical Geography. Beginning in the 1960s Sundborg begun a series of river studies outside Sweden, both as researcher and as foreign advisor. As such he studied the Mississippi, Rufiji, the Nile, Ganges, Brahmaputra, the Red River and the Yellow River. In the 1960s Sundborg studied the consequences of the damming of the Euphrates prior to the building of the Tabqa Dam in Syria. Sundborg estimated the amounts of sediments that would enter the new lake (that in the 1970s originated Lake Assad) and made a mathematical modell on how a new river delta would develop in it. Later upstream dam-building in Turkey however diminished greatly the sediments carried into Lake Assad.\nSundborg succeeded Hjulström as professor of physical geography at Uppsala University in 1969 and held that position until 1986. He was elected member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in 1973.", "\"Kungl. Vetenskapsakademiens årsberättelse 2007\" (PDF) (in Swedish). No. 81.

It is a dessert apple with an aromatic flavor.\nÅkerö was first described by pomologist Olof Eneroth in 1858; parentage is unknown. It is probably named after the Åkerö Manor located south of Stockholm, Sweden where according to some it was originally found as a seedling. Today it is still cultivated in Sweden and is regarded as the best Swedish apple. It was once very popular in Scandinavia and northern Germany.\nThe tree is hardy and vigorous with an upright growing habit. It needs cross pollination from a compatible cultivar, and gives a good crop of medium- to large-sized oval fruit. The skin color is a pale primrose with pink flush, and the flesh is juicy with a refreshing raspberry-like flavor and a pale cream color.\nÅkerö is a summer apple and fruits are picked in August.

[ "Åkerberg Fransson (2013) C-617/10 is an EU law case, concerning human rights in the European Union.", "Mr Fransson claimed he should not have criminal proceedings brought against him after he had already got tax fines. The Åklagaren (Public Prosecutor's Office) prosecuted Mr Fransson for fraudulently misstating his liabilities for income and Value Added Tax, failing to declare employers' contributions in his work as a fisherman on the Kalix River. Directive 2006/112/EC harmonised principles of those taxes. He got fines for 2004 and 2005 in 2007. Then criminal prosecutions began. CFREU article 50 says that nobody shall be tried or punished twice for a criminal conviction (ne bis in idem, not the same thing twice). ECHR Protocol 7, article 4 contains the same.", "The Court of Justice, Grand Chamber, held that a tax penalty, for value added tax, if not criminal in nature can be imposed. EU law does not govern relations of member states to the ECHR. However, it precludes a national law disapplying provisions contrary to the CFREU, as it withholds a power to assess fully whether a provision is compatible with the Charter.\n18 That article of the Charter thus confirms the Court's case-law relating to the extent to which actions of the Member States must comply with the requirements flowing from the fundamental rights guaranteed in the legal order of the European Union.\n19 The Court's settled case-law indeed states, in essence, that the fundamental rights guaranteed in the legal order of the European Union are applicable in all situations governed by European Union law, but not outside such situations. In this respect the Court has already observed that it has no power to examine the compatibility with the Charter of national legislation lying outside the scope of European Union law. On the other hand, if such legislation falls within the scope of European Union law, the Court, when requested to give a preliminary ruling, must provide all the guidance as to interpretation needed in order for the national court to determine whether that legislation is compatible with the fundamental rights the observance of which the Court ensures (see inter alia, to this effect, Case C‑260/89 ERT [1991] I‑2925, paragraph 42; Case C‑299/95 Kremzow [1997] ECR I‑2629, paragraph 15; Case C‑309/96 Annibaldi [2007] ECR I‑7493, paragraph 13; Case C‑94/00 Roquette Frères [2002] ECR I‑9011, paragraph 25; Case C‑349/07 Sopropé [2008] ECR I‑10369, paragraph 34; Case C‑256/11 Dereci and Others [2011] ECR I‑11315, paragraph 72; and Case C‑27/11 Vinkov [2012] ECR, paragraph 58).\n20 That definition of the field of application of the fundamental rights of the European Union is borne out by the explanations relating to Article 51 of the Charter, which, in accordance with the third subparagraph of Article 6(1) TEU and Article 52(7) of the Charter, have to be taken into consideration for the purpose of interpreting it (see, to this effect, Case C‑279/09 DEB [2010] ECR I‑13849, paragraph 32). According to those explanations, 'the requirement to respect fundamental rights defined in the context of the Union is only binding on the Member States when they act in the scope of Union law'.\n21 Since the fundamental rights guaranteed by the Charter must therefore be complied with where national legislation falls within the scope of European Union law, situations cannot exist which are covered in that way by European Union law without those fundamental rights being applicable. The applicability of European Union law entails applicability of the fundamental rights guaranteed by the Charter.\n22 Where, on the other hand, a legal situation does not come within the scope of European Union law, the Court does not have jurisdiction to rule on it and any provisions of the Charter relied upon cannot, of themselves, form the basis for such jurisdiction (see, to this effect, the order in Case C‑466/11 Currà and Others [2012] ECR, paragraph 26).\n23 These considerations correspond to those underlying Article 6(1) TEU, according to which the provisions of the Charter are not to extend in any way the competences of the European Union as defined in the Treaties. Likewise, the Charter, pursuant to Article 51(2) thereof, does not extend the field of application of European Union law beyond the powers of the European Union or establish any new power or task for the European Union, or modify powers and tasks as defined in the Treaties (see Dereci and Others, paragraph 71).\n24 in the case in point, it is to be noted at the outset that the tax penalties and criminal proceedings to which Mr Åkerberg Fransson has been or is subject are connected in part to breaches of his obligations to declare VAT.\n\n25 in relation to VAT, it follows, first, from Articles 2, 250(1) and 273 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax (OJ 2006 L 347, p. 1), which reproduce inter alia the provisions of Article 2 of the Sixth Directive and of Article 22(4) and (8) of that directive in the version resulting from Article 28h thereof, and second, from Article 4(3) TEU that every Member State is under an obligation to take all legislative and administrative measures appropriate for ensuring collection of all the VAT due on its territory and for preventing evasion (see Case C‑132/06 Commission v Italy [2008] ECR I‑5457, paragraphs 37 and 46).", "European Union law", "", "" ]

[ "Åknes Church (Norwegian: Åknes kirke) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Åseral Municipality, Agder county, Norway. It is located in the village of Åknes. It is one of the churches for the Åseral parish which is part of the Otredal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Agder og Telemark. The white, wooden church was built in a rectangular design in 1873 using plans drawn up by the architects Tobias Flottorp and Gård Ekså. The church seats about 150 people.", "The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1328, but the church was not new that year. The original church was likely built around the year 1250. It was a rectangular church building and it was located about 400 metres (1,300 ft) north of the present site of the church. Archaeological evidence suggests the church sat in an east-west orientation and measured roughly 7 by 4 metres (23 ft × 13 ft). Historical records show that the church likely closed after the Black Death and was no longer used. By the 1600s, there was no church remaining.\nAs Åseral gained population, the people in the northern part of the municipality wanted their own chapel. Road connections were poor in Åseral in the middle of the 19th century, and there was a real need for a separate church building in the upper part of the municipality. However, the people around the lake Lognevatnet had to fight a long battle before the chapel was ready for use. Neither the parish priest nor the municipality as a whole supported their desire for a separate chapel. But the residents never gave up and their new chapel was completed in the autumn of 1873.

The beach park is divided by the marina in a southern and a northern section. Kalø Vig and Helgenæs is in the east and a bit inland to the west is the lake of Egå Engsø. \nThe beach itself is fairly slim, between 10 and 12 metres (33 and 39 feet) wide, with a beachline stretching for some 850 metres (2,790 feet) at the southern section and 440 metres (1,440 feet) in the northern section. It is coarse sandy beach with gravel and several coastal protections composed of rows of boulders extending into the sea. A few short stretches of the beach are broader with white sand. The waters are very shallow with a sandy bottom and reach a depth of 2 metres (6 feet 7 inches) some 250 metres (820 feet) from the coast. Saline content is 20-35‰ and there's a weak northbound current. \nÅkrogen is a popular beach for windsurfers and kitsurfers due to the shallow waters and brisk winds. Each beach section is equipped with a 20 metres (66 feet) jetty extending into the sea, from which small watercraft can be landed or launched. The Canadian newspaper \"The Globe and Mail\" voted Åkrogen one of the 10 best beaches in the world in 2008.\nThe beach is maintained in conjunction with two park areas south and north of the Egå Marina. The southern section is situated along the Egå river where it terminates in the Kattegat sea. Both park sections comprise large grassy areas, trees and rows of bushes, designed to provide windbreaks and limited privacy for beachgoers and sunbathers. The grass extends to the beach itself, providing enough room to fly kites or play team sports and there is a playground for children.", "The park lies at end of the cul-de-sac Åkrogs Strandvej, which culminates in a parking lot with room for some 20 cars and a parking space for the public buses that serve the area. Buses run from central Aarhus and the university to the bus stops in the area. Danish National Cycle Route 5 runs along the coast of eastern Jutland from Odder Municipality to central Aarhus, passing the Docklands, before it leads north past Den Permanente and Bellevue Beach.

[ "Åland (Finnish: Ahvenanmaa: [ˈɑhʋenɑnˌmːɑː]; Swedish: [ˈǒːland] (listen); Finland Swedish: [ˈoːlɑnd]) is an autonomous and demilitarised region of Finland since 1920 by a decision of the League of Nations. It is the smallest region of Finland by area and population, with a size of 1,580 km², and a population of 30,129, constituting 0.51% of its land area and 0.54% of its population. Its only official language is Swedish and the capital city is Mariehamn.\nÅland is situated in an archipelago, called the Åland Islands, at the entrance to the Gulf of Bothnia in the Baltic Sea belonging to Finland. It comprises Fasta Åland on which 90% of the population resides and about 6,500 skerries and islands to its east. Of Åland's thousands of islands, about 60–80 are inhabited. Fasta Åland is separated from the coast of Roslagen in Sweden by 38 kilometres (20+1⁄2 nautical miles) of open water to the west. In the east, the Åland archipelago is contiguous with the Finnish archipelago. Åland's only land border is located on the uninhabited skerry of Märket, which it shares with Sweden. From Mariehamn, there is a ferry distance of about 160 kilometres (85 nautical miles) to Turku, a coastal city of mainland Finland, and also to Stockholm, the capital of Sweden.\nÅland's autonomous status means that those provincial powers normally exercised by representatives of the central Finnish government are largely exercised by its own government. The current demilitarised, neutral position of Åland dates back to the days of the Paris Peace Treaty after the Åland War in the 1850s. 2022 marked the 100th anniversary of the autonomous status.", "The autonomous status of Åland was affirmed by a decision made by the League of Nations in 1921 following the Åland Islands dispute. It was reaffirmed within the treaty admitting Finland to the European Union. By law, Åland is politically neutral and entirely demilitarised, and residents are exempt from conscription to the Finnish Defence Forces. Åland was granted extensive autonomy by the Parliament of Finland in the Act on the Autonomy of Åland of 1920, which was later replaced by new legislation by the same name in 1951 and 1991. The constitution of Finland defines a \"constitution of Åland\" by referring to this act. Åland remains exclusively Swedish-speaking by this act. \nAlthough a referendum to join the European Union had been held in mainland Finland on 16 October 1994, Åland held a separate vote on 20 November as they were a separate customs jurisdiction. EU membership was approved by 73.64% of voters. In connection with Finland's admission to the European Union, a protocol was signed concerning Åland that stipulates, among other things, that provisions of the European Community Treaty shall not force a change of the existing restrictions for foreigners (i.e., persons who do not enjoy \"home region rights\"—hembygdsrätt—in Åland) to acquire and hold real property or to provide certain services.", "Åland's original name was in the Proto-Norse language *Ahvaland which means 'land of water'. Proto-Germanic ahwō is related to the Latin word for water, aqua. In Swedish, this first developed into Áland and eventually into Åland, literally 'river land'—even though rivers are not a prominent feature of Åland's geography. The Finnish and Estonian names of the area, Ahvenanmaa and Ahvenamaa ('perch-land', from Finnish avenet, for the type of fish), are seen to preserve another form of the old name.\nAnother theory suggests that the Finnish Ahvenanmaa would be the original name of the archipelago, from which the Swedish Åland derives.\nIt is worth mentioning that 'avena' is Latin for 'oats'. This might have led Pliny the Elder to write of \"some islands [...] the inhabitants [...] live on [...] oats\" and be an indication of their name at the time of writing: AD 77.\nThe official name, Landskapet Åland, means 'the Region of Åland'; landskap is cognate to English landscape.", "Members of the Neolithic Comb Ceramic culture started settling the archipelago some 7000 years ago, after the islands had begun to re-emerge from the sea after being pushed down by the weight of the continental ice of the latest ice-age. Two Neolithic cultures met on Åland: the Comb Ceramic culture and the later Pit-Comb Ware culture which spread from the west.\nStone Age and Bronze Age people obtained food by hunting seals and birds, fishing, and gathering plants. They also started agriculture early on. In the Iron Age, contacts with Scandinavia increased. From the Iron Age, Åland has six hillforts. From the Viking age there are over 380 documented burial sites.\nBy mistake, the coat of arms of Åland were originally granted to the Swedish island province of Öland in 1560, and display a golden red deer (that doesn't live in Åland) on a blue field. This is traditionally surmounted by a comital coronet of the elder Swedish style.\nAlong with Finland, Åland formed part of the territory ceded to Russia by Sweden under the Treaty of Fredrikshamn in September 1809. As a result, they became part of the semi-autonomous Grand Duchy of Finland (1809–1917). During negotiations, Sweden failed to secure a provision that the islands not be fortified. The issue was important not only for Sweden but also for the United Kingdom, which as a result of the Treaty of 1809 became concerned that a Russian military presence on the islands could threaten Britain's commercial interests in its trade passing through the Baltic.\nIn 1832, Russia started to fortify the islands, with the great fortress of Bomarsund. In 1854, as part of the campaign in the Baltic during the Crimean War against Russia, a combined British and French force of warships and marines captured and destroyed the fortress during the Åland War. The 1856 Treaty of Paris demilitarised the entire Åland archipelago.\nDuring the Finnish Civil War, in 1918, Swedish troops intervened as a peacekeeping force between the Russian troops stationed on the islands and \"White\" and \"Red\" Finnish troops who came from Finland over the frozen sea. Within weeks, the Swedish troops gave way to German troops who occupied Åland at the request of the \"White\" (conservative) Senate of Finland.\nAfter 1917, the residents of Åland worked towards having them ceded to Sweden. In 1919 96.4% of the voters in Åland signed a petition for secession from Finland and for integration with Sweden, with over 95% in favour. Swedish nationalist sentiments had strengthened particularly as a result of the anti-Swedish tendencies in Finland and as a result of Finnish nationalism fueled by Finland's struggle to retain its autonomy and resistance against Russification. The conflict between the Swedish-speaking minority and the Finnish-speaking majority on the Finnish mainland, prominent in Finnish politics since the 1840s, contributed to the apprehension of the Åland population about a future within Finland.\nFinland, however, declined to cede the islands and instead offered the islanders an autonomous status. Nevertheless, the residents did not approve the offer, and in 1921 the dispute over the islands went before the newly formed League of Nations. The latter decided that Finland should retain sovereignty over the province, but that Åland should be made an autonomous territory. One of the important proponents of a diplomatic solution to the case was Nitobe Inazō, who was one of the Under-Secretaries General of the League and the director of the International Bureaux Section, in charge of the International Committee on Intellectual Cooperation. The Åland convention of 20 October 1921, signed by Sweden, Finland, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Denmark, Poland, Estonia, and Latvia, was the first international agreement achieved by the League. Thus, Finland was obliged to ensure the residents of Åland the right to maintain the Swedish language, as well as their own culture and local traditions. The convention of 1921 established the neutral status of Åland by international treaty, prohibiting the placing of military installations or forces on the islands. Åland's Regional Assembly convened for its first plenary session in Mariehamn on 9 June 1922; today, the day is celebrated as Self-Government Day of Åland.\nThe islanders' disappointment about insufficient support from Sweden in the League of Nations, Swedish disrespect for Åland's demilitarised status in the 1930s, and some feelings of a shared destiny with Finland during and after the Second World War, changed their perception of their relationship with Finland from \"a Swedish province in Finnish possession\" to \"an autonomous part of Finland\".\nBecause of the condition of neutrality under the 1921 Convention, the islanders enjoyed safety at sea during the war of 1939–1945, as their merchant fleet sailed both for the Allied countries and for Nazi Germany. Consequently, Åland shipping was not generally attacked, as the various military forces rarely knew which cargo was being carried or to whom.\nFinland marked the 150th anniversary of the demilitarisation of Åland by issuing a high-value commemorative coin, the €5 150th Anniversary of Demilitarisation of Åland commemorative coin, minted in 2006. The obverse depicts a pine tree, a typical feature of Åland. The reverse features a boat's stern and rudder, with a dove perched on the tiller, a symbol of 150 years of peace.", "Åland is governed according to the Act on the Autonomy of Åland and international treaties. These laws guarantee the region's autonomy from Finland, which has ultimate sovereignty over them, as well as a demilitarised status. The Government of Åland, or Landskapsregering, answers to the Parliament of Åland, or Lagting, in accordance with the principles of parliamentarism.\nÅland has its own flag and has issued its own postage stamps since 1984. It runs its own police force, and is an associate member of the Nordic Council. Åland is demilitarised, and the population is exempt from conscription. Although Åland's autonomy preceded the creation of the regions of Finland, the autonomous government of Åland also has responsibility for the functions undertaken by Finland's regional councils. Åland Post provides postal services to the islands, and is a member of the Small European Postal Administration Cooperation. Åland is considered a separate \"nation\" for amateur radio purposes and have their own call sign prefix granted by Finland, OH0, OF0 and OG0 (last character is zero).\nÅland is guaranteed representation in the Finnish parliament, to which they elect one representative. Åland also has a different system of political parties from the mainland.\nHomeschooling, which has been effectively banned in Sweden since 2011, is allowed by the Finnish government. Due to the islands' proximity to Sweden and because they are Swedish-speaking, a number of Swedish homeschooling families have moved from the Swedish mainland to Åland, including Jonas Himmelstrand, the chairman of the Swedish association for homeschooling.\nAfter a reform of the electoral law, Åland was to introduce internet voting in 2019 for expat voters in the parliamentary elections, considering opening the use of the same system for the next elections (2023) to all the voters. However, its use was cancelled at the last minute due to a lack of evidence of the trustability of the system.\nÅland's parties include a separatist party called the Future of Åland (Swedish: Ålands Framtid), whose main program includes driving autonomous Åland into a completely independent state.", "Åland held its own referendum on membership of the European Union on 20 November 1994. A majority of Ålanders voted in favour of membership, and it followed Finland into the Union in 1995. A special Åland protocol regulates Åland's position within the EU. It has some important exceptions, concerning the right of non-Ålanders to own real estate and the right of non-Ålandic companies to establish themselves in the region, and concerning EU tax legislation. The last item's derogation means that Åland is considered a third country for tax purposes, which has had the most important effect of allowing the profitable sale of tax-exempt goods on ferries to and from Sweden and Finland to continue.", "The State Department of Åland represents the Finnish central government and performs many administrative duties. It has a somewhat different function from the other Regional Administrative Agencies, owing to its autonomy. Before 2010, the state administration was handled by the Åland State Provincial Office.\nÅland has its own postal administration but still uses the Finnish five-digit postal code system, using the number range 22000–22999, with the prefix AX. The lowest numbered postal code is for the capital Mariehamn, AX 22100, and the highest AX 22950 for Jurmo.", "Åland contains 16 municipalities. Over forty percent of all inhabitants live in Mariehamn, the capital.\n Mariehamn\nPopulation: 11,736 \n Jomala\nPopulation: 5,509 \n Finström\nPopulation: 2,642 \n Lemland\nPopulation: 2,133 \n Saltvik\nPopulation: 1,810 \n Hammarland\nPopulation: 1,624 \n Sund\nPopulation: 1,020 \n Eckerö\nPopulation: 934 \n Föglö\nPopulation: 501 \n Geta\nPopulation: 506 \n Vårdö\nPopulation: 462 \n Brändö\nPopulation: 449 \n Lumparland\nPopulation: 376 \n Kumlinge\nPopulation: 313 \n Kökar\nPopulation: 224 \n Sottunga\nPopulation: 105 \nPopulation as 31 December 2021.", "Åland occupies a position of strategic importance, as it commands one of the entrances to the port of Stockholm, as well as the approaches to the Gulf of Bothnia, in addition to being situated near the Gulf of Finland.\nThe Åland archipelago includes nearly three hundred habitable islands, of which about 60-80 are inhabited; the remainder are merely some 6,200 skerries and desolate rocks. The archipelago is connected to Åboland archipelago in the east (Finnish: Turunmaan saaristo, Swedish: Åbolands skärgård)—the archipelago adjacent to the southwest coast of Finland. Together they form the Archipelago Sea. To the West from Åland is the Sea of Åland and to the North is the Bothnian Sea.\nThe surface of the islands is generally rocky and the soil thin due to glacial stripping at the end of the most recent ice age. The islands also contain many meadows that are home to many different kinds of insects, such as the Glanville fritillary butterfly.\nÅland's landmass occupies a total area of 1,527 square kilometres (589+1⁄2 sq mi). Ninety per cent of the population live on Fasta Åland, which is also the site of the capital town of Mariehamn. Fasta Åland is the largest island in the archipelago. Its area is difficult to estimate due to its irregular shape and coastline, but estimates range from 740 square kilometres to 879 square kilometres to over 1,010 square kilometres, depending on what is included or excluded. There are several harbours.\nDuring the Åland Islands dispute, the parties sought support from different maps of the area. On the Swedish map, the most densely populated main island dominated, and many skerries were left out. On the Finnish map, many smaller islands or skerries were, for technical reasons, given a slightly exaggerated size. The Swedish map made the islands appear to be closer to the mainland of Sweden than to Finland; the Finnish map stressed the continuity of the archipelago between the main island and mainland Finland, while a greater gap appeared between the islands and the archipelago on the Swedish side. One consequence is the often repeated number of \"over 6,000\" skerries that was given authority by the outcome of the arbitration.\nMany animals that live in the islands are not native. Animals such as elk and other species of deer were introduced in the 20th century.", "Åland has a humid continental climate (Dfb) that is influenced by its maritime position, especially in summer. While summers are cooler than on both the Swedish and Finnish mainland, winters see little difference to the adjacent parts of Sweden and are only narrowly milder than in mainland Finland.", "Åland's economy is heavily dominated by shipping, trade and tourism. Shipping represents about 40% of the economy, with several international carriers owned and operated from Åland. Most companies aside from shipping are small, with fewer than ten employees. Farming and fishing are important in combination with the food industry. A few high-profile technology companies contribute to a prosperous economy. Wind power is rapidly developing, aiming at reversing the direction in the cables to the mainland in coming years. In December 2011, wind power accounted for 31.5% of Åland's total electricity usage.\nThe main ports are the Western Harbour of Mariehamn (south), Berghamn (west) and Långnäs on the eastern shore of the Main Island. Fasta Åland has the only four highways in Åland: Highway 1 (from Mariehamn to Eckerö), Highway 2 (from Mariehamn to Sund), Highway 3 (from Mariehamn to Lumparland) and Highway 4 (from Finström to Geta).\nMariehamn served as the base for the last large oceanic commercial sailing-ships in the world. Their final tasks involved bringing Australian wheat to Great Britain, a trade which Åland shipowner Gustaf Erikson kept going until 1947. The ships latterly made only one round-trip from South Australia to Britain per year, (the grain race), after each marathon voyage going back to Mariehamn to lay up for a few months. The ship Pommern, now a museum in Mariehamn, was one of these last vessels.\nThe abolition of tax-free sales on ferry boats travelling between destinations within the European Union made Finland demand an exception for Åland on the European Union value-added tax rules. The exception allows for maintained tax-free sales on the ferries between Sweden and Finland (provided they stop at Mariehamn or Långnäs) and at the airport, but has also made Åland a different tax-zone, meaning that tariffs must be levied on goods brought to the islands. Two million people visit Åland every year - but most of them just for a few hours before the ferry returns again, or the passengers change from one ship to another.\nUnemployment was 3.9% in January 2014; the employment rate was 79.8 % in 2011 and 84.2 % in 2021.\nThe Finnish State also collects taxes, duties and fees in Åland. In return, the Finnish Government places a sum of money at the disposal of the Åland Parliament. The sum is 0.5% of total Government income, excluding Government loans. If the sum paid to the Finnish state exceeds 0.5%, then any amount above goes back to the Parliament of Åland as \"diligence money\". In 2010 the amount of taxes paid by Åland Islanders comprised 0.7% of the total taxes paid in Finland.\nAccording to Eurostat, as of 2006 Åland was the 20th-wealthiest of the EU's 268 regions, and the wealthiest in Finland, with a GDP per inhabitant 47% above the EU mean.\nBank of Åland is headquartered on the island.\nThe euro is the sole legal tender (as with the rest of Finland), although most businesses in Åland unofficially accept the Swedish krona.\nThe COVID-19 pandemic caused a sharper decrease in the total volume of the economy of Åland than for the neighbouring Sweden or Finland (mainland). Since the pandemic, the economy of Åland has been on a trajectory of recovery.", "", "Most inhabitants speak Swedish (the sole official language) as their first language: 86.5% in 2019, while 4.7% spoke Finnish. The language of instruction in publicly financed schools is Swedish. (In the rest of Finland, bilingual municipalities provide schooling both in Finnish and in Swedish.) For information about the dialect, see Åland Swedish.\nThe ethnicity of the Ålanders and the correct linguistic classification of their language remain somewhat sensitive and controversial. Ålanders may be considered either ethnic Swedes or Swedish-speaking Finns, but their language is closer to the Uppländska dialect of Sweden than to Finland Swedish. (See Languages of Sweden.)\nRegional citizenship or the right of domicile (hembygdsrätt) is a prerequisite for voting, standing as a candidate for the Legislative Assembly, or owning and holding real estate situated in unplanned areas of Åland.", "In 2010, there were 22 primary schools in Åland. Eight of them covered both upper and lower secondary schools, two were upper secondary schools and 12 were primary schools (grades 1–6). There exists two places of post-primary studies on the islands: the traditional high school of Ålands Lyceum or the Åland vocational high school, which offers a double degree in high school and vocational studies. Of these, Ålands Lyceum is a relatively large high school; according to the 2018 statistics of the education administration, as many as 432 high school students studied there. The schools on Åland also include Ålands folkhögskola and other several primary and secondary schools. Åland University of Applied Sciences teaches about 600 students in maritime, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, IT, finance, hotels, restaurants and health care. The maritime education of Åland are all part of Alandica Shipping Academy.\nThe education in Åland is similar to that of Finland and the Nordics, and the language of education on Åland is officially Swedish. Finnish language has been a compulsory subject in upper secondary school, but optional in primary school; however, 80 per cent of students have chosen it. In 2006, it was proposed to remove the compulsory Finnish language from upper secondary schools.", "The majority of the population, 70.5%, belongs to the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland. Åland contains Finland's oldest Christian churches, including St. Olaf's Church, Jomala, which dating from the late 13th century is likely to be the oldest in Finland. Åland's largest church is the Church of St. John in Sund, dating from shortly after.", "", "The most famous writers in Åland are Anni Blomqvist, known for her five-volume Stormskärs-Maja series, Sally Salminen, whose best-known work is the 1936 novel Katrina, and Ulla-Lena Lundberg, who has described her native Kökar. Each of these works are set in Åland.", "A 2016 historical drama film Devil's Bride, directed by Saara Cantell, takes place in the 17th century in Åland during the witch hunts. It won the Best Foreign Language Film Award at the Toronto Female Eye Film Festival in 2017. Also, a 2013 drama film Disciple, directed by Ulrika Bengts, is set in Åland.", "In association football Åland national team competes in the biennial Island Games, which it hosted in 1991 and 2009. Åland also hosted the 1974 and 1977 Women's Nordic Football Championship. Competitions and teams are organised by the Åland Football Association which also organise the Ålands Cup for clubs.\nWomen's football club Åland United, founded in 2004, and men's IFK Mariehamn are Åland's leading football clubs. IFK play in the Veikkausliiga, Finland's highest football league. Both clubs play at the Wiklöf Holding Arena in Mariehamn.\nOther smaller clubs include FC Åland, IF Finströms Kamraterna, IF Fram and Lemlands IF.\nÅland hosted the 2017 and 2018 Paf Masters, an annual bonspiel-women's curling tournament hosted in Eckerö.\nThe Åland Stags is Åland's only rugby union club.", "The coat of arms of Åland features a golden red deer on a blue field.

[ "The Åland Maritime Museum (Swedish: Ålands sjöfartsmuseum) is a museum in Mariehamn in Åland, Finland. It is located in the western part of the town on the sea on Hamngatan, about 1 km (0.62 mi) at the other end of Storagatan. Along with Ålands Museum, it is the most important museum in the islands and a monument to history of Aland as the holder the world’s largest fleet of wooden sailing ships. The foremost exhibit is a four-masted barque named Pommern, built in Glasgow in 1903, which is anchored behind the museum. The museum designed building is built like a ship’s prow cutting into the land. It has been called the “kitsch museum of fishing and maritime commerce.”", "The Åland Maritime Museum is considered one of the world’s finest museums related to merchant sailing ships. The building is laid out on two floors with objects relevant to the past glory of the shipping era. The museum has a library wing which has a large collection of books and photos. Souvenirs of books and picture post cards are available in the museum shop.", "The museum created the central core of a ship depicting a mast, saloon, galley and cabins. The ships figureheads are on display along with the boats; the prominent figurehead displayed, a male figure, once decorated the ship, the \"California\". In addition, nautical trappings, a number of ships in bottles and sea chests are also on display. Paintings of ships (docked either in Hull, Antwerp, Hong Kong or elsewhere), done by local artists who were specially commissioned by the captain of every ship, are exhibited in the museum. Models of ships of different time periods are displayed on a uniform scale so that the difference between a Baltic schooner and an ocean-going windjammer could be easily discerned.", "The museum ship, Pommern, a four masted merchant barque and windjammer which regularly operated on the grain trade route between Australia and England during the interwar years, is now anchored behind the museum as a display. This is considered as the symbol of Mariehamn, the capital of Åland. It is very well preserved.\nIt was launched in 1903 in Glasgow, Scotland, under the name Mneme, and was later renamed Pommern. Gustaf Erikson bought the ship in 1929. With a 26-member crew, it carried several tonnes of merchandise (mostly wheat during World War II). It won the grain race twice in the 1930s, and completed the route under 100 days at least four times. It has a record for running for 110 days at a stretch.\nIt is the centrepiece of the museum since 1957 at its present mooring in the western harbour of Mariehamn, after sailing for over 70 years. Cabinets in the museum display curios collected by the sailors from different lands; including piranhas and sharks’ jaws, shells and corals. A unique display is a pirate's flag which is one of a kind.", "Western Harbour (Mariehamn)", "Paul Harding; Mark Elliott (2007). Scandinavian Europe (8th ed.). Lonely Planet. p. 171.

[ "Ålen Church (Norwegian: Ålen kirke) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Holtålen municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway. It is located in the village of Renbygda. It is the church for the Ålen parish which is part of the Gauldal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nidaros. The white, wooden church was built in a neo-gothic long church style in 1881 using plans drawn up by the architect Jacob Digre. The church seats about 322 people.", "The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1381, but the church was not new that year. The first church in Ålen was a stave church that was located about 80 metres (260 ft) northwest of the present day church site (roughly the middle of the cemetery). The church was likely first built in the 12th century. The stave church had a rectangular nave with a narrower, rectangular chancel. The total floor plan was approximately 62 square metres (670 sq ft) which was close to double what the old Haltdalen Stave Church had.\nFrom 1674 to 1676, the church was significantly expanded by adding a new timber-framed nave to the old stave church. The old nave from the older church was converted into the new chancel. The old chancel was remodeled as a new sacristy. Additionally, the church had a cross-arm (transept) added to the north side of the new nave.\nIn 1881, a new church was constructed about 80 metres (260 ft) to the southeast of the old stave church. The church was designed by Johan Digre. It was consecrated on 15 September 1881. After the new church was completed, the old church was mostly torn down. The only part that was saved was the small entry porch which originally had been built around 1675. Some of the interior decor elements from the old church were saved and sent to museum in Trondheim. The pulpit from 1705 and an altarpiece from the 17th century were later sent to the newly built Hessdalen Church in 1940.", "List of churches in Nidaros", "\"Ålen kirke\".

[ "Ålesund ([ˈôːɫəsʉn] (listen)) sometimes spelt in English as Aalesund, is a municipality in Møre og Romsdal County, Norway. It is part of the traditional district of Sunnmøre and the centre of the Ålesund Region. The town of Ålesund is the administrative centre of Ålesund Municipality, as well as the principal shipping town of the Sunnmøre district. The town is a sea port and is noted for its concentration of Art Nouveau architecture. Although sometimes internationally spelled by its older name Aalesund, this spelling is obsolete in Norwegian. However, the local football club Aalesunds FK still carries that spelling, having been founded before the official change.\nThe 99-square-kilometre (38 sq mi) municipality is the 184th largest by area out of the 356 municipalities in Norway. Ålesund is the 13th most populous municipality in Norway with a population of 66,258. The municipality's population density is 109.1 inhabitants per square kilometre (283/sq mi) and its population has increased by 12.1% over the previous 10-year period.", "In 1793, the port of Aalesund was granted limited ladested rights. Later, in 1824, it was granted full ladested rights. In 1835, Ålesund had 482 inhabitants. On 1 January 1838, the new formannskapsdistrikt law went into effect, granting limited local self-government to all parishes in Norway. Therefore, on that date, the small ladested of Aalesund became a small municipality with its own council. It was surrounded by the large rural municipality of Borgund. In 1848, it was upgraded to the status of a kjøpstad, a more important market town.\nOn 1 January 1875, part of Borgund Municipality (population: 902) was transferred to the town of Ålesund. In 1922, another part of Borgund Municipality (population: 1,148) was transferred to the town of Ålesund. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1968, most of the neighbouring municipality of Borgund (population: 20,132) was merged with the town of Ålesund. This merger vastly increased the land area of the municipality and more than doubled the population of Ålesund, for a new total population of 38,589. On 1 January 1977, the island of Sula and some small surrounding islets (population: 6,302) were separated from Ålesund to form the new Sula Municipality.\nOn 1 January 2020, the municipality of Ålesund was greatly enlarged when Haram Municipality, Skodje Municipality, Sandøy Municipality, and Ørskog Municipality were merged with Ålesund to form one large municipality of Ålesund.", "A part of the town was originally known as Kaupangen Borgund. The Old Norse word kaupang means \"marketplace\" or \"town\", thus the market town for Borgund. The Old Norse form of the current name was Álasund. The first element of that (probably) is the plural genitive case of áll which means \"eel\" and the last element is sund which means \"strait\" or \"sound\". Before 1921, the name was written Aalesund.", "The coat of arms was granted on 1 April 1898. The red and silver arms show a fishing boat on the water with three fish swimming. The arms symbolize the importance of fishing for Ålesund. The type of ship was typical for the fishing vessels in the 18th and 19th century and is taken from a drawing made in 1762. The waves and three fish were added to the drawing in the arms.\nThe arms are shown in the Kaffe Hag album with the boat sailing right instead of sailing left.", "The Church of Norway has twelve parishes (sokn) within the municipality of Ålesund. It is part of the Nordre Sunnmøre prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Møre. The seat of the deanery is at Ålesund Church.", "Legend has it that Gangerolf (outside of Norway better known as Rollo), the 10th-century founder of the dynasty of the dukes of Normandy, hailed from the community of Giske, north-west of Ålesund. At least three statues of Rolle exist: in the town park in Ålesund, in the city of Rouen, France, and in Fargo, North Dakota, United States.\nIn 1835, Ålesund had 482 inhabitants. By 1900, the population had increased to 11,777.\nIn the night of 23 January 1904, the town was the scene of the Ålesund Fire, one of the most terrible of the many conflagrations to which Norwegian towns, once built largely of wood, have been subjected. Practically the entire town was destroyed during the night, a gale aiding the flames, and the population had to leave the town in the middle of the night with only a few minutes' notice. Only one person died in the fire, the 76-year-old Ane Heen, but more than 10,000 people were left without shelter.\nKaiser Wilhelm of Germany had often been on vacation to Sunnmøre. After the fire, he sent four warships with materials to build temporary shelters and barracks. After a period of planning, the town was rebuilt in stone, brick, and mortar in Jugendstil (Art Nouveau), the architectural style of the time. The structures were designed by approximately 20 master builders and 30 Norwegian architects, most of them educated in Trondheim and Charlottenburg, Berlin, drawing inspiration from all over Europe. To honor Wilhelm, one of the most frequented streets of the town is named after him.\nThe town has an unusually consistent architecture, most of the buildings having been built between 1904 and 1907. Jugendstilsenteret is a national interpretation centre, visitors can learn more about the town fire, the rebuilding of the town and the Art Nouveau style. Ålesund is a partner in the Art nouveau network, a European network of co-operation created in 1999 for the study, safeguards and development of the Art nouveau.\nThe term \"Little London\" was often applied to the community during the occupation of Norway by Nazi Germany due to the Norwegian resistance work that took place here. Among other things, the city was central to the flights to Scotland and England.", "The municipality of Ålesund occupies seven of the outer islands in the county of Møre og Romsdal: Hessa, Aspøya, Nørvøya, Oksenøya, Ellingsøya, Humla, and Tørla. The town centre is located on the islands Aspøya and Nørvøya, while Heissa and Oksnøya contain residential areas.\nThe second largest island, Ellingsøya, used to be accessible only by boat or by road via Skodje Municipality, but the undersea Ellingsøy Tunnel was built in 1987 to make traveling between the island and the town centre more convenient. The tunnel is 3,481 metres (11,421 ft) long, and was upgraded in 2009.\nSituated 236 kilometres (147 mi) north northeast of the city of Bergen, Ålesund is adjacent to the Hjørund and Geiranger fjords, the latter being on UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites.\nThe municipality covers an area of 93 square kilometres (36 sq mi). The population (2017) is 47,199, making the population density of 506.6 inhabitants per square kilometre (1,312/sq mi). The population of the agglomeration, which includes parts of the neighbouring Sula Municipality, is 48,460. The municipality also contains three smaller separate urban areas on the island of Ellingsøya: Hoffland, Årset, and Myklebost with a total population of 1,279. Other villages include Løvika and Spjelkavik, both on Uksenøya.", "Ålesund has a temperate oceanic climate (Köppen Cfb), also known as a marine west coast climate. The driest season is April- July. The wettest season is September - January, and the wettest month is December. The mean annual temperature of 8.1 °C (46.6 °F) is extremely warm for the latitude of 62°N. This is in a large part due to the mild autumns and winters, which can sometimes experience strong winds. The record low is from January 2010, and the record high is from July 2018. The warmest temperature ever recorded in the municipality is 34.4 °C (93.9 °F) at a weather station a little east (inland) of the city itself. Atlantic lows can sometimes cause warm winter highs in Ålesund due to foehn effect from winds being forced over the mountains in Sunnmørsalpene.", "All municipalities in Norway, including Ålesund, are responsible for primary education (through 10th grade), outpatient health services, senior citizen services, unemployment and other social services, zoning, economic development, and municipal roads. The municipality is governed by a municipal council of elected representatives, which in turn elect a mayor. The municipality falls under the Sunnmøre District Court and the Frostating Court of Appeal.", "The municipal council (Kommunestyre) of Ålesund is made up of 77 representatives that are elected to four year terms. The party breakdown of the council is as follows:", "The mayors of Ålesund (incomplete list):\n2015–present: Eva Vinje Aurdal (Ap)\n2007-2015: Bjørn Tømmerdal (H)\n1999-2007: Arve Tonning (H)\n1995-1999: Asbjørn Rutgerson (LL)\n1994-1995: Asbjørn Måløy (Ap)\n1990-1993: Kjell-Arne Slinning (KrF)\n1988-1989: Leidulf Dahle (Ap)\n1980-1987: Svein Tømmerdal (H)\n1978-1979: Olav Helge Balsnes (H)\n1976-1977: Johannes Giske (KrF)\n1968-1975: Gustav M. Flisnes (DNF)", "The town of Ålesund has the most important fishing harbour in Norway. The town's fishing fleet is one of the most modern in Europe. Ålesund and its surroundings also has a large furniture industry. Some well-known household items are manufactured here. In the 1950s and 1960s, Ålesund was one of the chief stations of the herring fishery business.\nIn relation to the relatively large fishing fleet belonging to Ålesund and nearby harbours a large shipbuilding and ship equipment industry has evolved. There are not any yards building ships in Ålesund any more, the last shipyard - Liaaen Shipyard evolved into ship repairs and since late 1990s has mainly been serving the offshore industry through the company Liaaen Technology that merged and rebranded to Strata Møre in 2007. In the close by communities however shipyards continue to operate successfully: Vard, Ulstein Verft, Kleven Maritime, Havyard Group.\nWhen oil was found in the North Sea in the 1970s the local fishing fleet ship owners seized the opportunity and rebuilt fishing vessels to serve the infant oil exploration and production industry. Soon they were able to build purpose designed offshore vessels at local shipyards to serve the North Sea oil adventure even better. Today this has become a cornerstone industry in and around Ålesund through leading offshore supply ship owning companies Farstad, Bourbon, Olympic, Havila, and Rem. Serving the ship building industry a large number of equipment manufacturers has evolved: Rolls Royce, Odim, Sperre, Optimar, Ship Equip, Jets and many more.\nTo the east of Ålesund lies the Sykkylven Municipality where the Ekornes factory, producing furniture such as the StressLess chair, is located. Håhjem, another village near Ålesund, contains the headquarters of the Stokke company. Ålesund is also one of the harbours at which the Hurtigruten arrives two times per day. As the cultural center of the region and with close proximity to the fjords, Ålesund is a tourist attraction. The Atlanterhavsparken aquarium is another tourist attraction.", "From Øye at the head of Hjørundfjorden, a road strikes south to the Nordfjorden, and from Maråk on Geirangerfjorden another strikes inland to Otta. The Rauma Line starts at Åndalsnes, 120 kilometres (75 mi) east of Ålesund, going to Dombås, then southwards on the Dovre Line to Lillehammer and Oslo. Ålesund is a port of call for passenger and freight vessels travelling between Bergen, Kingston upon Hull, Newcastle, Hamburg, and Trondheim, including the Hurtigruta (Norwegian Coastal Express) cruise ships, which arrive in Ålesund twice a day.\nThe town's airport, Ålesund Airport, Vigra, has several daily flights to/from Oslo, Bergen, Trondheim, and Copenhagen. It used to have several weekly flights to/from Riga (Riga International Airport) (AirBaltic) and London (London Gatwick Airport) but these routes have since ceased. In November 2012 KLM announced it would fly to Ålesund 5 days a week from Amsterdam starting in April 2013.\nLately, there have been suggestions of a high-speed rail link to Oslo, Bergen, and Trondheim, as well as metro-style local services to meet the needs of the expanding population of the town.", "The Norwegian Centre of Art Nouveau Architecture, Jugendstilsenteret, is situated in Ålesund.

[ "Ålesund ([ˈôːɫəsʉn] (listen)) is a town in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. The town is the administrative centre of Ålesund Municipality. The centre of the town of Ålesund lies on the islands of Hessa, Aspøya, Nørvøya with newer developments located on the islands of Uksenøya the outer parts of the \"urban area\" even stretch onto the island of Sula which is in the neighboring Sula Municipality. The town is the main headquarters for the Norwegian Coastal Administration as well as the location of the Sunnmøre District Court.\nIn Norwegian, Ålesund is considered to be a by which can be translated as a town or a city. Ålesund is the ninth largest town/city in Norway. The town has become more of an urban agglomeration during the late part of the 20th century and the urban area has spread out and into the neighboring municipality. The 28.22-square-kilometre (6,970-acre) town has a population (2018) of 52,626 and a population density of 1,865 inhabitants per square kilometre (4,830/sq mi). About 21.24 square kilometres (8.20 sq mi) of the town with a population of 44,070 lies in Ålesund Municipality and the remaining 6.98 square kilometres (2.69 sq mi) of the town with a population of 8,556 lies in Sula Municipality.\nThe town has an unusually consistent architecture, most of the buildings having been built between 1904 and 1907. Jugendstilsenteret is a national interpretation centre, visitors can learn more about the town fire, the rebuilding of the town and the Art Nouveau style. Ålesund is a partner in the Art nouveau network, a European network of co-operation created in 1999 for the study, safeguards and development of the Art nouveau.\nThe term \"Little London\" was often applied to the community during the occupation of Norway by Nazi Germany due to the Norwegian resistance work that took place here. Among other things, the city was central to the flights to Scotland and England.", "Legend has it that Gangerolf (outside of Norway better known as Rollo), the 10th-century founder of the dynasty of the dukes of Normandy, hailed from the community of Giske, north-west of the present-day town of Ålesund. At least three statues of Rolle exist: in the town park in Ålesund, in the city of Rouen, France, and in Fargo, North Dakota, United States.\nThe old prestegjeld of Borgund included all of what is now Ålesund. In 1793, the port of Aalesund was granted limited ladested rights. Later, in 1824, it was granted full ladested rights. In 1835, Ålesund had 482 inhabitants. On 1 January 1838, the new formannskapsdistrikt law went into effect, granting limited local self-government to all parishes in Norway. Therefore, on that date, the small ladested of Aalesund became a small municipality with its own council. It was surrounded by the large rural municipality of Borgund. In 1848, it was upgraded to the status of a kjøpstad, a more important market town.\nOn 1 January 1875, part of Borgund Municipality (population: 902) was transferred to the town of Ålesund. By 1900, the population had increased to 11,777.\nIn the night of 23 January 1904, the town was the scene of the Ålesund Fire, one of the most terrible of the many conflagrations to which Norwegian towns, once built largely of wood, have been subjected. Practically the entire town was destroyed during the night, a gale aiding the flames, and the population had to leave the town in the middle of the night with only a few minutes' notice. Only one person died in the fire, the 76-year-old Ane Heen, but more than 10,000 people were left without shelter.\nKaiser Wilhelm of Germany had often been on vacation to Sunnmøre. After the fire, he sent four warships with materials to build temporary shelters and barracks. After a period of planning, the town was rebuilt in stone, brick, and mortar in Jugendstil (Art Nouveau), the architectural style of the time. The structures were designed by approximately 20 master builders and 30 Norwegian architects, most of them educated in Trondheim and Charlottenburg, Berlin, drawing inspiration from all over Europe. To honor Wilhelm, one of the most frequented streets of the town is named after him.\nIn 1922, another part of Borgund Municipality (population: 1,148) was transferred to the town of Ålesund. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1968, most of the neighbouring municipality of Borgund (population: 20,132) was merged with Ålesund forming the new Ålesund Municipality. This merger more than doubled the population of Ålesund, for a new total population of 38,589 and the land area of the municipality was vastly larger. The town of Ålesund was the administrative centre of the large municipality. After the merger, the town no longer had its own council and was no longer self-governing, with the new municipal council representing the whole municipality. On 1 January 1977, the island of Sula and some small surrounding islets (population: 6,302) were separated from Ålesund to form the new Sula Municipality. The southern part of the town of Ålesund was located on Sula, therefore the town's urban area overlaps two municipalities.", "A part of the town was historically known as Kaupangen Borgund. The Old Norse word kaupang means \"marketplace\" or \"town\", thus the market town for Borgund. The Old Norse form of the current name was Álasund. The first element of that (probably) is the plural genitive case of áll which means \"eel\" and the last element is sund which means \"strait\" or \"sound\". Before 1921, the name was written Aalesund.", "Ålesund has a temperate and heavily moderated oceanic climate (Köppen Cfb). Winters are mild, damp and windy; the coldest month of the year, January, has a mean temperature of 2 °C (36 °F). The lowest temperature ever recorded at Ålesund Airport, Vigra was −11 °C (12 °F). The climate is extremely mild for the latitude and inland areas at similar parallels especially in lowland Sweden see much hotter summers and colder winters. The warmest temperature ever recorded in Ålesund is 34.4 °C (93.9 °F).\nThe following climate data is from the local Ålesund Airport, Vigra, which is technically not located in the town, but on a nearby island in the sea in Giske Municipality. Ålesund itself is more sheltered and has slightly warmer summers.", "Ålesund is a port of call for passenger and freight vessels travelling between Bergen, Kingston upon Hull, Newcastle, Hamburg, and Trondheim, including the Hurtigruta (Norwegian Coastal Express) cruise ships, which arrive in Ålesund twice a day.\nThe town's airport, Ålesund Airport, Vigra, has several daily flights to/from Oslo, Bergen, Trondheim, and Copenhagen. In November 2012 KLM announced it would fly to Ålesund 5 days a week from Amsterdam starting in April 2013.", "The Norwegian Centre of Art Nouveau Architecture, Jugendstilsenteret, is situated in Ålesund. It is a museum and interpretive center with exhibitions telling the story of the town fire and Art Nouveu/Jugendstil in Norway and Europe.\nSunnmøre museum, founded in 1931, is an outdoor folk museum devoted to the Norwegian coastal culture and way of life. Located on an area of 120 hectares (300 acres), it has more than 55 old and distinct houses from the past 300 years moved to the site, replicas of old Viking ships, and the Medieval Age Museum with artifacts from excavations of the old trading centre.\nThe local newspaper is Sunnmørsposten, founded in 1882 and published six days a week. Ålesund is the site of the annual Norwegian Food Festival.", "Ålesund is home to a sub-division of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), with approximately 1,800 students and 150 employees. The Ålesund School of Art (Norwegian: Ålesund Kunstskole) is a school for visual arts located in Ålesund.\nÅlesund videregående skole, also known as Latinskolen, formerly Aalesund Lærd- og Realskole, is the oldest secondary school in Ålesund, having been established in 1863. Of the six upper secondary schools in Ålesund, including Latinskolen, Fagerlia videregående skole is the largest with room for approximately 1,000 students.\nÅlesund also features an International school for children aged 5–15.", "List of towns and cities in Norway", "Statistisk sentralbyrå (1 January 2018). \"Urban settlements.

[ "Ålesund Airport, Sørneset (Norwegian: Ålesund sjøflyplass, Sørneset) was a water aerodrome and later heliport situated at Nørvevika and later Sørneset in Ålesund, Norway. The airport was, to a varying degree, used between 1929 and 1979. It has since been demolished.\nThe first use of Nørvevika was in November 1929 as a temporary base for the Royal Norwegian Navy Air Service. When Norwegian Air Lines commenced scheduled flights along the coast in 1935, they also took the facilities into use. The Navy Air Service returned in 1939 and decided to build a base, but there was no time to carry out the plans before the German invasion the following year. The Luftwaffe used the base for two Arado Ar 196 from 1941 to 1943, moving the base to Sørneset during the Second World War.\nLufttransport moved to the base in 1946 and carried out commercial flights in 1948 and 1949. After shutting down, these were taken over by Vestlandske Luftfartsselskap in 1950. They were retained until 1957, and the following season Ålesund Airport, Vigra opened. The final operator at Sørneset was Mørefly, who at first operated seaplanes and later focused on helicopters. They abandoned the site in 1979, moving to Vigra.", "", "Sporadic flights with seaplanes to Ålesund started in 1920, although not with more than a few private flights per year. From November 1929 the Royal Norwegian Navy Air Service set up a base at Skutvika near the town center, which they used to search for herring. This base was found to be unsuitable due to the amount of ship traffic. When they returned the following year, the Herring Association had instead selected a more suitable base at Nørvevika. There they established at wooden shed with a tin roof which acted as a hangar for two Hansa-Brandenburg W.33 aircraft. Due to harsh treatment the winter weather gave the aircraft, the air service terminated these operations the following year.\nNorwegian Air Lines carried out a trial postal route from Ålesund to Tromsø for four weeks in 1934, using a Junkers W 34 from 7 June to 3 August. The trials were successful and the following year the airline commenced flights with the larger Junkers Ju 52. The routes were summer-only; for instance in 1938 they lasted from 4 April to 30 September. These services continued until 4 September 1939, when all commercial flights were banned.\nThe need for a naval seaplane base in Ålesund resumed in 1939. This was caused by the Phoney War and the need to station aircraft along the Møre og Romsdal coast to maintain Norwegian neutrality. Nørvevika was found to be the most suitable location and selected. Funding of 225,000 Norwegian krone was granted, which would include a hangar which could fit three Heinkel He 115 seaplanes. However, the entire issue was stopped during the expropriation process. The site had several owners and one of these died in the process. No work had therefore been carried out upon the German invasion on 9 April 1940.\nLuftwaffe started looking for a site for an airport between Bergen and Trondheim in January 1941. At first they suggested Spjelkavik, but this was changed and Aukra Airport, Gossen built instead. However, the Luftwaffe still needed a base for seaplanes to operate near Ålesund. For this they carried out the plans which the Naval Air Service had made and erected a seaplane base later in 1941. This was at first built at Nørvevika, but was later relocated slightly to Sørneset. The ships were anchored to a buoy and a barracks was built on land. It was manned with two Arado Ar 196 of 2. Kustenfliegergruppe 406. One of these crashed on 18 March 1943 at Rambjøra in Haram, killing both on board. The second crashed at Volsdalen in Ålesund on 18 October.", "The airline Lufttransport was founded in 1946 with a base at Sørneset. It eventually operated a fleet of four aircraft, including a Grumman Widgeon and a Fairchild 24. The airline built a hangar at the airport. It started a scheduled service to Oslo Airport, Fornebu three times a week in 1948, with stopovers in Molde and Kristiansund using the Widgeon. It also made attempts to fly to Bergen and Trondheim. However, the company had difficulties making a profit and shut down in 1949. Ownership of the airport passed to Ålesund Bil og Flyservice.\nVestlandske Luftfartselskap took over the coastal services in 1950. They operated summer routes from Bergen to Trondheim and hand intermediate stops in Ålesund and Kristiansund, later also in Molde. At first they used a four-passenger Republic RC-3 Seabee, later a Short SA.6 Sealand with twice the passenger capacity. The routes operated until 1957. They were considered taken over by Widerøe and Solbergfly, but the 1958 opening of Ålesund Airport, Vigra made this an implausible ordeal.", "A group of enthusiasts bought a Luscombe 8 Silvaire and two years later they established the airline Mørefly. It took various general aviation contracted work, such as cargo transport, aerial photography and searching for herring steams. It also took over ownership of the airport. From 1957 they set up an air ambulance service out of Sørneset using a Seabee.\nMørefly continued to operate various general aviation services out of Sørneset. From 1966 it also became a heliport when Mørefly bought its first helicopter, a Bell 47G4. Operations included air ambulance, search and rescue, cargo transport, herring patrol, aerial photography and a scuba diver standby for the fishing fleet.\nThe airline decided in 1977 that it would relocate to Vigra. It built a new hangar there and relocated in 1979, abandoning Sørneset as an aerodrome. For a while the hangar was used by Ålesund Last og Buss. The hangar and barracks were still in place in 1988, but were in the early 1990s demolished and the area used for housing.", "The water aerodrome was physically located at two different locations in the bay of Nørvevika. The first was named Nørvevik and the second Sørneset. Sørneset is a headland situated on the island of Nørvøya, between the Nørvevika and Nørvesundet. The water aerodrome consisted of a buoy, a slipway, a hangar and a barracks used for offices. In addition there was a small floating dock.

[ "Ålesund Airport (Nynorsk: Ålesund lufthamn, IATA: AES, ICAO: ENAL), or alternatively Ålesund Vigra Airport, is an international airport serving the town of Ålesund in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. It is located on the island of Vigra in Giske Municipality and features a 2,314-meter (7,592 ft) runway aligned 07/25. The airport served 1,077,209 passengers in 2013, making it the tenth-busiest airport in the country. Scheduled services are provided domestically to Oslo, Bergen and Trondheim by Scandinavian Airlines (SAS)¸ Norwegian Air Shuttle and Widerøe. International scheduled services are provided by KLM Cityhopper, Norwegian, SAS and Wizz Air.\nThe first airport serving Ålesund was Ålesund Airport, Sørneset, a water aerodrome. Vigra, which narrowly beat a proposal for an airport on the island of Gossa as the main airport for Møre og Romsdal, opened on 7 June 1958. It originally featured a 1,600-meter (5,200 ft) runway and all scheduled flights were provided by Braathens SAFE. Except for regional routes operated by Widerøe from 1971 to 1993, Braathens flew all routes out of Vigra until 1998. International flights commenced in 1977 and a new terminal opened in 1986. Norwegian Air Ambulance has operated out of the airport since 1988.\nBetween 1995 and 1998 the 330 Squadron had a detachment at Vigra for its Westland Sea King for search and rescue. Color Air and SAS started flying to Ålesund in 1998. After suffering heavy losses, SAS bought Braathens and Color Air closed down. Norwegian Air Shuttle thereafter entered, first in 2004 and then in 2008. The terminal was expanded in 2007 and the airport has seen an expansion in international destinations.", "", "Plans for scheduled flights to Ålesund were first articulated in 1919 by a government commission as part of a coastal seaplane route from Stavanger to Trondheim. The first landing in Ålesund took place on 27 May 1920. Thereafter flights were sporadic. The Royal Norwegian Navy Air Service set up a base at Skutvika near the town center in November 1929, which they used to search for herring. They moved the base the following year, establishing Ålesund Airport, Sørneset. Later used both for civilian flights, scheduled services and Luftwaffe operations, the Sørneset water aerodrome remained in use until 1979.\nWork on a land airport around Ålesund started with a public speech held by Hjalmar Riiser-Larsen in 1933. In further speeches, he proposed Vigra or the Moa area of Spjelkavik as suitable locations. The former was preferred by the government, who included it in its 1935 plan for primary airports. Following the Nazi invasion of Norway during World War II, the Luftwaffe also considered Moa as a suitable location for the region, but instead opted to build an airport on Gossa, which was not completed by the end war.\nAfter the war ended, Møre og Romsdal County Municipality established a commission to look into the location of a central airport for the county of Møre og Romsdal. They concluded that since Gossa was nearly completed and was more centrally located within the county, it would be a preferred location. Community leaders in Ålesund lobbied to have Vigra chosen, and in 1951 two students completed calculations showing that Vigra would be cheaper than Gossa. Despite this, Gossa was selected by Parliament in 1952.", "The Civil Airport Administration (CAA) issued NOK 3.2 million for the upgrade of Gossa in 1955. However, Vestlandske Luftfartsselskap, which was operating the seaplane route along the coast, launched a plan to operate Scottish Aviation Twin Pioneer aircraft from a 400-meter (1,300 ft) runway at Vigra. The CAA therefore placed Gossa's funding on hold. Ålesund Municipality appointed a commission which demanded that the runway should be 1,000 meters (3,300 ft), allowing for operation of the de Havilland Heron. They negotiated the purchase of the necessary 50 hectares (120 acres) of land at Vigra and started construction on 9 January 1957. At this point Vigra was planned as a regional airport.\nWithin a short period the CAA determined that the Twin Pioneer would not be approved and that, following Braathens SAFE Flight 253 that Heron's would not be allowed to fly during winter. The municipality therefore applied in February 1957 that Vigra be given status as a primary airport. Parliament approved this and granted funding for air traffic control and operations. Construction involved building a 1,600-by-40-meter (5,250 by 130 ft) runway and 350 meters (1,150 ft) to taxiway. These were built by Veibygg, Fredrikstad Granittkompani and Korsbrekke og Lorck. The terminal was building measured 820 square meters (8,800 sq ft), of which 300 square meters (3,200 sq ft) was a garage, and was built by Bjarne Haugseth. Ålesund Municipality was the owner and developer. Three radio beacons were built.\nÅlesund was to be connected both to Oslo Airport, Fornebu, and to a coastal service from Stavanger Airport, Sola via Bergen Airport, Flesland and Ålesund to Trondheim Airport, Værnes. The latter had been operated by Vestlandske Luftfartselskap, but they went bankrupt in 1957. Both Braathens SAFE and SAS applied for the Ålesund concession. Initially the ministry wanted to award the coastal service to Braathens and the Oslo route to SAS. But after negotiations, Braathens SAFE stated they were willing to fly the coastal route without subsidies if they were granted the Oslo-route, allowing them to cross-subsidize the former. This was accepted by the ministry.", "The first aircraft to land was a military de Havilland Canada DHC-3 Otter, on 19 May 1958 with supplies for the navigational aids. Braathens landed a Heron on 2 June. The official opening took place on 7 June with 3,000 spectators. Flights were at first flown using the Douglas DC-4. Initially the coastal service and the Oslo service were flown one time per day.\nVigra did not originally have more to a terminal than a waiting hall. Check-in and baggage pick-up was handled at Braathens SAFE's offices at Skateflua in the city center. They were then transported by bus to the airport by Record og Vigra Rutelag (RVR). They also operated a new car ferry services which was established between Ålesund and Valderøy. Møre og Romsdal Fylkesbåtar (MRF) took over the ferry service from 1965.\nOwnership of the airport passed to the CAA and the state from September 1959. This coincided with a new taxiway from the runway and the opening of the instrument landing system (ILS). This could only be used on runway 25. The Vigra Transmitter was situated in the way for the other direction. The ILS was installed without an inner marker. The tarmac was extended in 1960 to make way for a general aviation section near the control tower. Due to sinking of the runway it had to be re-asphalted the following year.\nBraathens introduced their new Fokker F27 Friendship from 9 January 1959. From the summer program it flew two daily flights to Oslo and from 1961 twice per day on the coastal route. VHF omnidirectional range and distance measuring equipment navigational system were installed in 1963. Ålesund Airport experienced a massive increase in traffic during the 1960s. A third daily departure to Oslo was introduced in August 1963 and on the coastal route from 2 May 1964. The latter was extended to Bodø Airport and Tromsø Airport from 1 April 1967, and upgraded to a fourth daily service. Some Oslo services were provided using a Douglas DC-6. A year later the coastal route increased to five daily trips, which was matched by the Oslo route in 1969. That year also saws the installation of a visual approach slope indicator and the introduction of the Fokker F28 Fellowship in March.\nMRF introduced a hovercraft service from Ørsta via Hareid to Ålesund and Vigra, then onwards to Molde and Åndalsnes. The 18-passenger craft sank only days after the service was inaugurated in April 1965. Two more hovercraft were delivered and served the route. Travel times was 50 minutes to Molde, 80 minutes to Åndalsnes, 25 minutes to Hareid and 50 minutes to Ørsta. However, by the time of the fall storms the authorities withdrew the operating certificate due to safety concerns.\nIn the course of two years the number of airports in Møre og Romsdal increased from one to four, having a dramatical effect on patronage at Vigra. Kristiansund Airport, Kvernberget opened on 30 June 1970 after which two of the four daily Oslo services were moved there. Ørsta–Volda Airport, Hovden opened on 1 July 1971, along with three airports in Sogn og Fjordane—Florø, Førde and Sogndal. These were connected to Vigra with Widerøe's de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter services. Molde Airport, Årø opened on 5 April 1972. Braathens introduced its Boeing 737-200 on one of the Oslo services that year.\nA new 728-square-meter (7,840 sq ft) works building opened in 1972, including a new fire station, command center and workshop. The Friendship was pulled out of Vigra from 1976, by which time Braathens was back up to fifteen daily services. The Fellowships had five departures in each direction on the coastal service and the 737s had taken over all the Oslo services. To handle the increased traffic the terminal was slightly expanded with a temporary structure, allowing the airport to handle two simultaneous aircraft.", "The first inclusive tour charter at Vigra was carried out by Stjernereiser in June 1977, contracting a Sud Aviation Caravelle from Transeuropa to Palma de Mallorca. The short runway meant that the aircraft could not take a full tank of fuel and therefore stopped in Stavanger to refuel. Vigra saw a limited amount of charter, largely since all flight had to have an intermediate landing.\nMørefly, an Ålesund-based air ambulance and helicopter operator, relocated its base from Sørneset to Vigra in 1979. This followed their building of a 750-square-meter (8,100 sq ft) hangar and office building at the airport. Braathens extended its city offices in 1979 and the following year a new wing was added to the terminal for international arrivals. Baggage could from then be picked up either at the airport or in the city center.\nMeanwhile, the traffic increased made it necessary for the airport to receive a new major upgrade. The works building was expanded in 1982, including more garages and office space. A new 953-square-meter (10,260 sq ft) control tower was taken into use in November 1984. A new 4,816-square-meter (51,840 sq ft) terminal was also built for NOK 53 million. It included an upper story with a restaurant.\nMRF operated a fast ferry service from Hareid to Vigra from 12 September 1983. The parking was expanded from 60 to 254 places, and from 1986 parking became paid. A private competitor, Vigra Parkering, offered parking from 1985 to 1991, after which the CAA bought the lot. The new terminal also featured car rental from four companies. Although the old terminal was proposed used as an offshore helicopter terminal, it caught fire in 1986 and was demolished the following year. Mørefly introduced the first international scheduled service, to Aberdeen Airport in the United Kingdom, from 14 April 1986. In conjunction with this the airport introduced airport security for select passengers. The Aberdeen route was terminated on 28 March 1987.\nNorwegian Air Ambulance was established on 1 January 1988. Vigra was selected as the base both for a Beechcraft Super King Air fixed-wing air ambulance and an Aérospatiale SA365N Dauphin 2 rotorcraft. From 1 November 1988 to 31 January 1989 Mørefly operated an Aérospatiale SA332 Super Puma search and rescue helicopter from Vigra, before this was relocated. The Dauphin was relocated to Ålesund Heliport, Hospital when it opened in 1993. Mørefly merged with Lufttransport in 1995.\nThe Vigra Fixed Link opened between 1987 and 1989. It consists of the 3,520-meter (11,550 ft) long Ellingsøy Tunnel between Ålesund and Ellingsøya, the 4,222-meter (13,852 ft) long Valderøy Tunnel connecting the islands of Ellingsøya and Valderøya, and others. This allowed travelers from Ålesund to reach the airport without a ferry. They remained a toll road until 25 October 2009. RVR and the airport coach service was taken over by Ålesund Bilruter from 1 January 1988.\nA precision approach path indicator system was completed in 1991. Three years later an automatic terminal information service was taken into use. The airport had for years been limited by its short runway. The construction of the tunnels spurred a surplus of earthwork, which could be used to reclaim land east of the tunnel and extend the runway along it. However, the extension of the runway proper did not take place until 1994, costing NOK 60 million. The new 2,300-meter (7,500 ft) runway was taken into use on 20 October 1995. The most important part of this extension was that inclusive tour charters resumed from the airport, after several years without such services due to the need for a refueling stop. The airport therefore opened a duty-free store in 1996.\nBraathens introduced its Boeing 737-500 at Ålesund in 1990, replacing its older -200s by 1995. Widerøe withdrew from Ålesund in 1993, when the Twin Otters were retired. The same year Braathens subcontracted some Ålesund routes to their regional affiliate, Norwegian Air Shuttle, who operated the Fokker 50.\nThe Super Puma search and rescue service spurred public demands for a rescue helicopter to be based at Vigra. From 11 September 1995 the 330 Squadron of the Royal Norwegian Air Force stated a Westland Sea King helicopter at Vigra for such a service. However, the proximity to Ørland Main Air Station proved that the area was well covered from there. The service was therefore closed from 1 January 1999 and relocated to Rygge Air Station.", "The Norwegian airline market was deregulated from 1 April 1994. This initially had little effect on Vigra, as there were insufficient slots at Fornebu for new entrants to start flying to Ålesund. Quite the contrary, the deregulation initially led Braathens to terminate the coastal services to Northern Norway, although it maintained flights to Bergen and Trondheim. From 19 April 1998 Braathens also served Ålesund with its Boeing 737-700. A radar was installed at the airport in 1998. The same year all the electronics in the control tower were replaced.\nFornebu was replaced by Oslo Airport, Gardermoen on 8 October 1998, which had ample room for new routes. Ålesund-based businessman Olav Nils Sunde saw the opportunity to establish a low-cost carrier, Color Air. It started twice-daily services from Ålesund to Gardermoen on 6 August, using a Boeing 737-300. SAS introduced flights from Oslo to Ålesund on 7 December. They initially used Douglas DC-9 and McDonnell Douglas MD-80, later switching to Boeing 737-600. The number of Oslo-bound flights thus increased from seven to seventeen. The three operators started an intense price war which within a year had cost them NOK 3 billion. Color Air ceased operation on 27 September 1999. SAS also opened a route to Copenhagen Airport in Denmark via Bergen, which was soon terminated.\nSAS bought Braathens in May 2001, from 2002 the two SAS Group airlines coordinated their flights to Ålesund. Their ground services were taken over by SAS Ground Handling. Norwegian Air Shuttle shifted its operations in 2002 from a regional carrier to a low-cost airline. It took up competition with the SAS Group and launched an Oslo route on 23 August 2003 using the Boeing 737-300, using Røros Flyservice as their ground handler. These were most ex-Braathens employees. Norwegian initially remained at Ålesund only until 10 October 2004. Braathens and SAS merged in 2004 to create SAS Braathens, which served Ålesund until 1 June 2007, when it again became part of Scandinavian Airlines.\nFull security check of all passengers took effect on 1 January 2004. An automated weather observing system was installed in 2006. The same year Ålesund Bilruter and the airport coach was taken over by Nettbuss. More tarmac for the general aviation section opened in 2006. In April the following year the main terminal was extended with 620 square meters (6,700 sq ft). This included an arrival section for international passengers, with its own baggage carousel and a larger duty-free store. This allowed for simultaneous arrival of domestic and international passengers.\nSAS Braathens commenced a bi-weekly service to London Gatwick Airport on 1 June 2007. It was terminated in 2008. Air Baltic introduced its Riga Airport service on 20 March 2008. SAS commenced a daily service to its hub at Copenhagen Airport from 31 March 2008. From 25 October 2009 this route was flown for SAS by Cimber Sterling using a Bombardier CRJ200 with two daily services. There was insufficient patronage for such a route and SAS resumed a daily service the following year.\nNorwegian returned to Vigra on 10 September 2008, when it reintroduced its Oslo service. They introduced bi-weekly services to Gatwick from 16 April 2011, as well as flights to Ålesund to Trondheim and Bergen from the winter program of 2011. They also established weekly services to Alicante Airport and Gran Canaria Airport in Spain in 2012. The Trondheim route had insufficient patronage and were terminated from 1 February 2013. As a response, Krohn Air introduced a twice-daily service to Trondheim on 3 March 2013. It was terminated on 13 September.\nWizz Air introduced thrice-weekly services to Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport in Poland from March 2013. KLM Cityhopper commenced services to Amsterdam Schiphol Airport twice daily from 4 April, using the Fokker 70. It was followed up on 5 June with twice-weekly services by Wizz Air to Vilnius Airport in Lithuania. Norwegian terminated its Bergen route in January 2014. Widerøe responded by starting services to Bergen from the summer program of 2014. SAS responded by introducing more departures to Bergen and Trondheim and replacing some of them with smaller ATR 72 operated by Jet Time.", "The airport is situated on the island of Vigra on Giske, Norway. The main terminal has 6,400 square meters (69,000 sq ft), including the control tower. Vigra is an international airport with separate departure and arrival section for domestic and international services. The international section has a duty-free store measuring 160 square meters (1,700 sq ft) for both arriving and departing passengers. The upper story features a restaurant while there is a café and kiosk in the lower section. Vigra has a category 7 fire and rescue service. Ground handling is provided by SAS Ground Handling and Aviator.\nThe asphalt runway measures 2,314 by 45 meters (7,592 by 148 ft) and is aligned 07/25 (roughly east–west). Runway 07 has a declared take-off run available (TORA) of 2,164 meters (7,100 ft) and a landing distance available (LDA) of 2,014 meters (6,608 ft). The TORA and LDA of runway 25 is 2,314 and 2,083 meters (7,592 and 6,834 ft), respectively. Vigra lacks a parallel taxiway. The airport has a reference altitude of 21 meters (69 ft) above mean sea level. Vigra features a category I instrument landing system. The aerodrome also features doppler VHF omnidirectional range and distance measuring equipment, and tactical air navigation system.", "Norwegian Air Ambulance has a fixed-winged air ambulance stationed at Vigra. The Beechcraft King Air 200 is operated by Lufttransport, with medical personnel from Møre og Romsdal Hospital Trust. The aircraft flew 1,632 missions lasting 1,264 hours in 2013.", "Ålesund Airport, Vigra served 1,055,098 passengers in 2013, of which 256,512 were international passengers. The airport saw 16,057 aircraft movements and handled 641 tonnes of cargo. Ålesund is the tenth-busiest airport in Norway, measured in passenger numbers.", "Nettbuss operates a fleet of eight airport coaches. These run to downtown Ålesund and Moa in correspondence with all arrivals and departures. The airport has parking for 1,050 cars, divided into four categories: short-term, business plus, business and economy. Car rental is available from Avis, Budget, Europcar, Hertz and Sixt.

[ "Ålesund Church (Norwegian: Ålesund kyrkje) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Ålesund Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. It is located in the center of the town of Ålesund, on the island of Aspøya. It is one of two churches for the Ålesund parish which is part of the Nordre Sunnmøre prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Møre. The large, stone church was built in a long church design and in the Art Nouveau style in 1909 using plans drawn up by the architect Sverre Knudsen. The church seats about 800 people.", "Historically, the area of Ålesund was part of the Borgund Church parish. In 1848, Ålesund was established as a kjøpstad and soon after it was granted permission to build a church. The first church in Ålesund was constructed in 1853-1854 and it was consecrated on 25 January 1855. The new church became its own parish in 1858. The new church was designed by the architect Heinrich Ernst Schirmer. The church's design was very similar to the Strøm Church in Sør-Odal municipality in Hedmark county. It was built out of brick and it had a cruciform design. The exterior brick was left unpainted, but the western tower was covered in white plaster. On 23 January 1904, the church was destroyed by the great Ålesund fire. Hundreds of buildings were destroyed and nearly the entire town had to be rebuilt. Afterwards, a competition of architects was held to design the new, replacement church building. Sverre Knudsen was chosen as the person to design the new Ålesund Church.\nThe new church was to be located on the same site as the previous church, although its orientation was reversed (entrance on the east end and the choir on the west end). The foundation stone for the new church was laid down on 13 July 1906 by the new King Haakon VII. The church is a three aisled long church constructed out of stone. Roughly 2,000 square metres (22,000 sq ft) of marble cover the church's façade. The church took about three years to be completed and it was consecrated on 15 September 1909. The tower is asymmetrically located on the south side of the building.", "", "List of churches in Møre", "\"Ålesund kirke\". Kirkesøk: Kirkebyggdatabasen.

The bulk of the island Aspøya can be seen in the foreground; the near channel is demarked by the harbor to the right. The fire began on the island, near the last buildings on the island in the upper left. Note that a west wind would push the fire toward the more densely built up areas. The fire was finally controlled at a point to the left, behind the point from which this picture was taken; most of the buildings seen here were destroyed." ]

[ "The Ålesund fire happened on 23 January 1904 in the Norwegian city of Ålesund. It destroyed almost the whole city centre, built mostly of wood, like the majority of Norwegian towns at the time. The town has since been rebuilt and it is now the administrative centre of Ålesund Municipality.", "The fire started around 2 am on the island of Aspøya, in the Aalesund Preserving Co.’s factory, which was located where Lower Strand Street 39 (Nedre Strandgate 39) is located today. It is actually stated that the fire started because a cow kicked a torch. In spite of valiant efforts at suppression, the wind-driven fire destroyed much of the town. The fire burned to a point just west of what today is called Brusdalshagen, going at least as far as Borgundvegen 39. The last and easternmost house which burned stood where Borgundvegen 37 stands today. In total, the fire destroyed nearly 850 houses, leaving approximately 230 houses remaining within the town borders. There was only one fatality from the fire.", "At 2:15 AM on Saturday, 23 January 1904, the initial alarm was received from a manual pull station. Shortly afterwards the fire watchtower observed an open fire in the lower part of the road Strandgate. Almost simultaneously another manual pull station signal alarm was received from the Kråsbys area. Two fire crews were dispatched immediately.", "Although fire crews responded immediately the sky brightened rapidly in the direction of the Aalesund Preserving Co.’s factory. The weather was unfavorable; a strong gale blew out of the southwest. When the fire engines proceeded through the lower part of the Strandgate to the fire, they encountered heavy smoke and a rain of sparks, such that the horses panicked and had to be blindfolded and led to the fire. \nWhen the fire engines arrived on the scene, they found the Aalesund Preserving Co. engulfed in flames and the nearest neighbouring buildings also burning. The two nearest buildings were in flames and before the crew could begin fighting these fires, two more were burning as well.\nThe storm blew so strongly that people had difficulty standing. The draft caused buildings to burn vehemently generating both radiant heat and windblown sparks which spread the fire. Soon a house on the north side of Stradgate was ignited; a ladder was erected and fire hoses were directed at the fire, but the firefighters were ineffective in slowing the rapidly spreading fire.", "At virtually the same time, sparks spread the fire to other houses on the north side of Strandgate. Another fire engine had arrived but the water demand was high and the pressure was so low that the stream could not reach the top of the houses. More houses in the lower part of the street and eastwards to Aspøgate began to burn. A steam driven fireboat was brought in service in the harbour near the end of Aspøgate. The fire now raged over the entire Strandgate and the area had to be evacuated.", "Attempts were made to build a Prestegate fire break by tearing down buildings. Almost immediately thereafter the alarm was raised because the fire had spread to Rasmussen’s place in the Kirkegate, which lay two blocks further into the city, as well as at the Latin school. Fire fighting on the lower Strandgate could no longer be sustained; the steam driven fireboat had to fall back to a new line on the Langeberggate. There it came into action and was able to power four strong fire suppression steams.", "Meanwhile, fires had broken out on Tellesbøegård in the Langeberggate. The blocks around the Prestegate were given up as lost. The fire chief chose to concentrate his forces on holding the line at Murgård. With the combined efforts of the fire engines and fireboat, the fires in the Tellesbøegård, the Latin school and Rasmussen’s place were extinguished (at least temporarily). But the wind continued strong, lofting sparks and embers, so that the fire line was jumped and houses along the Prestegate began to burn. The heat grew so oppressive that the firemen were forced to retreat or risk their lives.\nShortly thereafter Rønneberg & Sønners pakhus in the Notenesgate, which lay about 500 metres (1,600 ft) away on the other side of the Brosund (open water), was reported to be burning. Fire also recommenced at the Tellesbøegård, at the Latin school and in a house in Øvregate as well as on the roof at Murgård. The fire line on Prestegate had to be abandoned and the fire boat again relocated. Almost immediately, fire was reported at H.W. Friis’s sjøpakhus in Verpingsvik which lies about 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) away.", "Although the fire fighters were reinforced by additional help, as the fire spread, manpower was lost since those who arrived first to fight the fire feared for their families safety. Some left the lines to assure their relatives were safely evacuated. The fire lines grew longer and longer, with manpower spread more and more thinly.\nAn attempt was made to fall back and create a new fire line to halt the fire at Hellegate street. The fire boat was directed to Apotekerbrygg and the fire forces were concentrated there. But before they could begin activity establishing the fire line there, the roofs of houses on the east side of Hellegate caught fire. Further, the crews dispatched to Rønneberg’s warehouse were unsuccessful in extinguishing that fire. It became clear the outer town was lost. The fire chief chose to halt the fire with the natural water gap fire line of the Brosund combined with suppression of the Rønneberg’s warehouse fire.", "The wind, which had initially blown out of the southwest, was westerly at day break and continued to shift until it blew without abating out of the northwest. This distributed sparks and embers over larger and larger areas and the fire spread with increasing celerity.", "The fire started late and spread quickly, leading to a hurried evacuation of people at very short notice into the cold January night. As the fire spread it became clear there was little local shelter to be had and the population of over 10,000 was forced to seek shelter elsewhere. A fortunate few were able to flee by boat. The old and the sick were loaded on wagons and carts, but most fled on foot with only what they could carry.\nMost fled along Volsdalsvegen (today named Borgundvegen), proceeding to Volsdalen and Nørve. Others took the path on the north side of Aksla, which also led to safety Volsdalen. The regional governor Alexander Kielland, reported that over two hundred people spent the night after the fire in Borgund Church.\nOnly one person was known to die. That was an old lady who went back into her house to get her purse.", "Liberal aid was provided to Ålesund both from within Norway and from abroad. Kaiser Wilhelm II had been a frequent visitor to the area and expressed a personal concern for the plight of the population. As a result, much of the international help was from Germany, sent in Kaiser Wilhelm’s name. His first telegram was received while the fire was still being extinguished. He dispatched four ships loaded with personnel, food, medicine, materials for shelters, and equipment.\nThe town was rebuilt in the then contemporary Jugendstil (Art Nouveau). Modern historians have concluded that the fire was actually positive in terms of city development. The pre-fire city centre was extremely crowded, consisting mostly of old and cramped wood housing with only rudimentary sanitary facilities.", "The term gate is a Norwegian suffix meaning street. The translation follows common practice of leaving this suffix, as that is how local maps and travel guides display it.\n\"Verdens Gang (Norwegian Newspaper)\" (in Norwegian)." ]

[ "Ålfoten Church (Norwegian: Ålfoten kyrkje) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Bremanger Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Ålfoten, very close to the shore of the Ålfotfjorden. It is the church for the Ålfoten parish which is part of the Nordfjord prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The white, cog-joint, wooden church was built in a long church style during the 17th century by an unknown architect. The church seats about 100 people.", "The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to 1330, but it was not new that year. The first church in Ålfoten was a wooden stave church that was likely built during the 13th century. The old church was torn down during the 17th century and replaced with the present church which was built on the same site (or very near the same site) of the old church. For a long time, the year 1678 was believed to be the year of the construction since that is the date on the weather vane on the roof. However, after recent archaeological research at the site that was carried out during some repairs, it more likely dates from about 1610-1620. The most likely explanation is that the church was built around 1610-1620 and by 1678, the front door and church porch was in poor condition so that part was torn down and rebuilt. The weather vane must have been installed at that time. This church is the oldest wooden church still standing in the Nordfjord region of Norway. It is a small, modest church with no tower and a small stone wall around the churchyard. The interior is almost all unpainted. During the late 1970s, the church was renovated. There was some structural work done, the walls were insulated, electrical work was carried out, and electric heating was installed.", "List of churches in Bjørgvin", "\"Ålfoten kyrkje\".

[ "Ålgård Fotballklubb is a men's football club located in Ålgård, Norway that was founded in 1915. Ålgård played in Hovedserien, then the highest division in Norway, for several years after World War II. The club has been playing mainly at the third tier level, and was last promoted to 2. divisjon in 2002.\nIn Rogaland, Ålgård has one of the largest groups of participants in the sport of football in the clubs and has many teams in the youth league. The available talent keeps the club in 2. divisjon. When Bryne FK was promoted to Eliteserien in 1975, many players were transferred to the club in Jæren. Bryne is only 16 km from Ålgård. Players like Birk Engstrøm, Kåre Sivertsen, Sverre Kristian Vaule, Rune Medalen, and Jørgen Rangnes have played for Bryne in Eliteserien. Engstrøm earned a cap for Norway.\nThe last players to be transferred to the larger clubs, are Marius Helle (Bryne), Edwin Kjeldner (FC Lyn Oslo) and Robert Tveit (Sandnes Ulf). Women players such as Sissel Grude and Dagny Mellgren have transferred out of the area to Klepp IL. Mellgren scored team Norway's winning goal in the finals of the 2000 Summer Olympics.", "It was long presumed that the club was founded on 30 March 1925; its 50th anniversary in 1975 was celebrated. It was on a trophy cup after the celebration was completed that the inscription: \"ÅFK 1915\" was found. The 1925 date was when the club was reformed in 1925.", "Ålgård FK joined Rogaland Fotballkrets in 1928, and finished in the final of the kretsmesterskapet (KM, \"area championship\") against Jarl, losing 5–2. In 1936 they won against EIK 2–1 in the qualification at Sandnes Idrettspark and were promoted to class A. In the 1938/39 season, the Ålgård reputation grew in Norgesserien and they were leading after the matches in the autumn. In the last match of the season, Ålgård lost the championship to SIF 1–0. Ålgård made their best effort in the cup ever in 1939, but finally lost against Drafn in Drammen in the 4th round.\nIn the 1930s, Ravn Tollefsen moved from SIF, to Ålgård to work as a police officer, where he had played for \"kretslaget\" (a local team made of players without club association). He maintained discipline in the team using his skills as a police officer. Those that acted badly previous to a game would be benched. Ålgård attracted players from Figgjo and had strong support from DFU which was a dominating company in the region. A player move to Ålgård could count on a DFU job in one of its factories. 1945 to 1950 are regarded as the golden age of Ålgård. The culmination came in 1948 when Sportsmanden ranked Ålgård as the seventh best club of Norway after a strong run in Hovedserien:\nThe divisions great surprise was surely Ålgård, the club from Rogaland. Never have so few done so much – abusing Churchills famous words. It's a known fact that Ålgård only can rely on 15–20 active players. We first doubted Ålgårds right to be in Hovedserien, but were later forced to revise our view. Ålgård has now earned respect among the other clubs in Hovedserien, most of the teams arrive Ålgård with a bad feeling. You have to give Ålgård acknowledgement for having Hovedseriens best fighting spirit, and their impressing results speaks for themselves. What else can you say about victories like 3–1 against Brann in Bergen, two victories against Viking and 2–1 against Skeid. Simply amazing. We can not see any reason that the club should be relegated this season. Sportsmanden\nIn 1949, DFU construction was underway so all their home matches were played at Sandnes. The new venue was opened in September 1950 with an inaugural match against Mjøndalen attracting 2000 attendants.", "The club celebrated its 25th anniversary in 1950. Ålgårds would attract Talent Alf Ravndal on its rooster but many players on the team remained from its previous seasons. Gunnar Stensland and Sigurd Ravndal, two decent players, moved to Stavanger and joined Viking. Sverre Fredriksen became the coach, but this was not enough, the club did not secure their place in Hovedserien and was relegated, home matches were played in Sandnes. Ålgård reached the qualification for Hovedserien the next year, but Gjøvik-Lyn, Årstad and Snøgg were too strong. But Ålgård still attracted 2000 attendants against Årstad in Haugesund, even though Årstad is from Bergen.\nÅlgård again reached the 3rd of the cup in 1951 and was again drawn against Viking. The teams had played each other ten times after the war before this match. Ålgård had won five, Viking four and one draw. The match attracted 4500 attendants. After a 0–0 draw, a rematch was played in Stavanger with 6000 attendees.\nBefore the season of 1951/52, 1st division became \"Landsdelsserien\". Ålgård ended this season as the last one, winning the league of Rogaland. Once again the club had reached the qualification. This time was Varegg from Bergen opponents in Haugesund. The match ended 2–2 in front of 2000 spectators. The decision finally came after extra time in the rematch, and Varegg could celebrate after winning 2–1.\nÅlgård lost their first home match at the new ground in the autumn of 1952, two years after the ground was opened, when Djerv 1919 won 2–1. ÅFK got nine out of ten points in the spring of 1953, but the team had been too weak in the autumn and was not able to win the league this year. The first of the \"great\" players from the end of the 1940s had retired, and new players were added. 1952/53 was a good year for the team, the last time the team had scored as many goals was in 1947, but the economy was bad. The team was going to put this straight in the cup, and after an easy win against Klepp, the team was drawn against Donn in Kristiansand. But Ålgård surprisingly lost, and the club missed an income of several thousands kroner.\nThe next season was disappointing, but 1955 was considerably better. The team reached the 3rd round of the cup and SK Brann visited Ålgård. But Ålgård was unable to repeat the achievement from 1946 and lost 6–2. The club was relegated from Landsdelsserien in the spring of 1955 but was back in 1957. But the season of 1957/58 became the last one in Landsdelsserien. After the league system was remade in 1961, Ålgård has never been higher than the third highest division. 1958 is remembered for the 1st round cup match against Viking, where a controversial decision by the referee, in the end, gave Viking a 3–2 victory after extra time. Jørgen Madland, the Ålgård goalkeeper, turned while he had the ball in his hands, and the referee decided that the ball had crossed the goal line. The referee had to be protected as he went to the dressing room after the match, as angry Ålgård players meant that the ball could not have crossed the line.\n1957/58 became Ålgårds weakest season until then, and the club did not qualify for the cup for the first time in 1959. Ålgårds under-19s team won KM in 1956, but many of these players left the club or could not strengthen the team.", "In the beginning of the 1960s, ÅFK was struggling in the 4th division. But even though their results were poor, many youths made the team, which would make a positive impact. In 1964 the tide changed, and players who played many games earlier, lifted Ålgård to a great season. Buøy IL became to strong in the qualification in the end, but the team only lost one game in the league. 1964 was the best season in many years, since other teams in the club also had a good season.\nThe international footballer Reidar Kvammen was appointed coach the next year aside Alf Ravndal. The results did not change significantly from the earlier years in the beginning of the 60s, but the club won KM in under-19s and under-16s. The club had many decent talents, but the club was not able support them. Marvin Skjæveland was one of the most promising players, but he left ÅFK for Ulf.\nThe club was promoted to 3rd division in 1966 after nine consecutive seasons in 4th division. It was no surprise, as Rogalands Avis expressed:\nThis year Ålgård, who was relegated to 4th division in 1958, has a very good team. It's a balanced and strong team in all positions. In defence all players have good heading and tackling ability, and Alf Egil Jensen is a quality goalkeeper. The runners Kåre Lima, Torjus Sivertsen, and Johnny Engstrøm always make things happen in the midfield. It's been a long time since Ålgård had such a good team. Rogalands Avis\nThe first ever Ålgård-player got a cap for a Norwegian national youth team when Birk Engstrøm appeared in a Nordic tournament in Finland. He transferred to Bryne later the same year, which caused reactions among the elder members of the club.\nThe club had great expectations for playing in the 3rd division in 1967, especially after Vålerenga was beaten with their best players at Ålgård in a friendly match before the season started. But the season brought loss upon loss, and the club dived straight back to 4th division.", "1969 became an important year by two reasons. The new pitch was finished at Ålgård stadion, and November brought changes in the club. Young inexperienced leaders took almost total control over the general assembly and got the most important positions in the club. A new era started with a new generation leaders whom introduced objectives. Elderly ÅFK-members were disappointed and expected everything to go from bad to worse. The club was not promoted this year, but the club was in motion. The new leaders made the foundations for growth both in the economy and on the pitch, in quality and quantity, which gave results in the 70s and which made the foundation for today's club. The club hired a manager full-time in 1970, and the club was promoted to 3rd division again.\nÅFK avoided relegation in 1971 and 1972, but the club struggled. The clubhouse was built in 1972 after many years of planning and was opened 21 March 1973. In 1973 women were given voting rights in the club, and the club had their first female officials.\nÅlgård was relegated in 1972, and was almost promoted the next year. It got especially heated when Djerv 1919 visited Ålgård. Djerv was up by 2–0 with only a couple of minutes to go, but the match ended by a 3–2 win for Ålgård. The players from Haugesund attacked the referee after the match, and the local police officer had to restore order. Several fines were given after the match. In the end Fartbutt 1919 won the promotion.\nThe next year became victorious when the club finally promoted after qualification against Odda and Flekkefjord, the same year the club celebrated their 50th anniversary. The team could not meet the expectations the following year, but was back in 3rd division only one year later. The club had an excellent youth team with players which would make an impact on the club in the years to come, like Peder Skårland, Gaute Engstrøm and Kåre Sivertsen. In addition, Sverre Kristian Vaule made the team.\nThe club avoided relegation with Trond Tengesdal as manager. Before Tengesdal took charge, the club had a committee which picked the team for matches. This committee usually consisted of three persons. With Tengesdal this committee was removed, and the manager picked the team himself. The club got its second national player when Lars Hovland made his debut at Norway's Under-16.\n1979 was the last season where 3rd division had a league with only teams from Rogaland. Only the top five teams would qualify for the following years 3rd division. But Ålgård made a fine 2nd place which was far better than expected.", "Sivertsen transferred to Bryne in 1980, and the team was struggling before the summer break. ÅFK was the favorite for relegation, but Ålgård finally got their first home win in the end of August with 6–0 against Sandviken. The club ended at 6th place in the end of the season.\n1981 brought a fine cup season with 1–0 against Ulf. The team had reached 2nd round for the first time in 13 years. Extra time divided Ålgård and Viking after Ålgård took the lead at Ålgård stadion. Viking won 3–2 after extra time. Gaute Engstrøm transferred to Bryne in the summer, which caused concern in the club, while Sivertsen returned injured from Bryne. Ålgård had in 1981 for the first time a team for girls, a youth team, whom won their division and Vidar Cup.\nAgain a slow start made Ålgård struggling in 1983, and in the summer the board chose to get a new manager to the club. The struggle for continued play in the 3rd division continued to the last game, but Ålgård was relegated. The team improved the next season and lost only one game, home against Figgjo IL. Figgjo won 3–1, led by Bjarne Berntsen. Ålgård finished 2nd behind Figgjo as they drew more than Figgjo.\n1985 became one of the worst seasons in ÅFKs history. The team did not win a single match from 11 May to 23 August. In the end, the team reached 9th place, only three goals ahead of Hovsherad who were relegated to 5th division. The club lost several players before the season of 1986, but Jan Erik Aunevik was back from military service and young promising Rune Medalen was promoted to the senior squad. Ålgård won 4th division by a ten points gap to Sola FK og won the regional championship through defeating Åkra 1–0 at Karmøy and 2–2 at home.\nIn five years the club had doubled its activities and had 28 teams which played 709 matches in 1988. The \"Match of the Century\" this year away against Figgjo drew a lot of attention, a match ÅFK surprisingly won 2–1. Figgjo later got their revenge at Ålgård stadion by a late goal. Ålgård became 6th in their first season in 3rd division. 1989 became ÅFKs best season in the 80s. Among the new players were Nils Ove Hellvik and Jørgen Rangnes. The team used three goalkeepers as their first choice in 1989, first Roger Årdal from Hana, then Øyvind Bjelland from Oltedal and finally U-19s Einar Fjeldheim. Ålgård ended in 3rd place.", "The club remained at the 3rd level of Norwegian football from 1988 through twelve consecutive seasons before the club ended last in 1999. Ålgård lost many players to other teams in the 90s, Rune Medalen (Viking), Jørgen Rangnes (Bryne), Pål Endre Oftedal (Bryne), Tord Oftedal (Bryne), Arne Eigil Aksnes (Bryne), Odd Arne Tjåland (Bryne) and Knut Terje Stava (Sandnes) among others. But the team won 3rd division in their first season, became regional champions, but lost qualification matches against FK Jerv and Sandnes Ulf. Ålgård was promoted after defeating Vaulen IL in 2002, 6–2 at home and 2–2 away in Stavanger. Following the promotion, the club has many times struggled against relegation but has so far secured their place in 2nd division.\nHelge Aune got a bad start in the season of 2005. After playing half the games, Ålgård only had seven points and needed badly a win against local rival EIK. Ålgård got former ÅFK-player Espen Sola on loan from Bryne, and Kim Cassim made a comeback from the reserve team. The club needed a win to have a chance of remaining in 2nd division, but was trashed 4–0 in Egersund. But Ålgård got ten points in the next four games and ended in 6th place at 35 points. Ålgård was the best club of the division in the autumn, while EIK was relegated to 3rd division.\nEgil Svendsen became new manager in 2006, and the season started like the previous ended, ÅFK made a good start. The team stayed for a while at second place, but ended in a new 6th place. They claimed 38 points, best result since 1994. Striker Marius Helle transferred to Bryne halfway through the season and was replaced by Geir Tharaldsen from SK Nord.", "Tommy Bergersen replaced Svendsen as manager in 2007. He came from Bryne where he had to retire due to injuries. Eirik Sanne, Tharaldsen, Gustav Kjølberg and Ingve Aarrestad left the club, while Håkon Eikrem and Arnt Ove Ivesdal transferred from Bjerkreim, Jan Tore Lende Fadnes from Bryne and Espen Skogen from EIK. In the summer break, the team was strengthened by Geir Andre Herrem and Oddgeir Salte from Bryne on loan for the remaining part of the season.\nÅlgård got a weak start of the season 2007 through defeats by relegation contenders Askøy and Os, but defeated Fana IL at home. ÅFK was helpless against a strong Viking 2. Bergersen protested in Stavanger Aftenblad later in the season against what he and SIF manager Cato A. Hansen felt were destructive use of players after Viking 2 in several matches used their youth team in some matches and strong teams in others.\nThe club surprised against relegated Manglerud Star and fought a draw at home, then won an important victory away at Fyllingen after a late goal by Rogvi Baldvinsson. The team needed a victory home against FK Arendal, but things looked lost at halftime when Arendal were two up after goals by Geir Tungesvik and former Odd Grenland Armin Sistek. The team did not give in and Urstad headed ÅFK back into the game after only three minutes of second half. Eikrem was sent up the field as striker aside Skogen and equalized only two minutes after Urstads goal. The match was finally turned when Sivertsen six minutes later curled the ball passed Arendals goalkeeper after getting a freekick just outside the penalty area.\nNo goals were scored in the next two matches, but drew against Vard Haugesund before winning 2–0 away at Åsane. ÅFK then lost 4–1 in a friendly match against Luton Town at Ålgård stadion where the team was reinforced by SIF-players Cato A. Hansen and Rolf Magne Olsen.\nFall started with nine points in four games, followed by two points in the three next. The last six games were lost. Things was not better in other relegation battling teams, except for Åsane who fought their way back from being hopelessly lost to getting a last chance against Ålgård in the last match of the season. If winning by two goals Åsane would stay while Ålgård was relegated. ÅFK got many chances to finish Åsanes hope early on, but Åsane still took the lead in first half and went two up with only ten minutes to go. Ålgård was as good as relegated. Two minutes before full-time, Jonas Vølstad Fjeldsbø got a freekick at the edge of the penalty area by the goal line. Oddbjørn Sivertsen struck the ball into the box where Baldvinsson headed the ball down to the feet of Håvard Urstad who forced the ball over the line. Ålgård had avoided relegation.\nAfter the season ended, Ålgård was left with 11 players from 2007, and the club started building a new team. ÅFK got Joakim Bjordal (from reserves), Stein Morten Hansen (Flekkefjord), Henrik Karlsen (Hana), Alexander Idland (Buøy) and Bård Tommy Karstensen (Sandnes Ulf) as replacements for players like Robert Tveit (Sandnes Ulf), Eikrem, Sivertsen (retired), Høvring and Lende Fadnes. Later Geir André Herrem returned through loan from Bryne after first joining SIF. Goalkeeper Ole Fredrik Bergseth was also lost. Commotion followed the club's attempt to get Ole Gunnar Solskjær to the club.", "", "\"Tabell 2. divisjon, avdeling 3 2012\". nifs.no (in Norwegian). A-pressen.

[ "The Ålgård Line (Norwegian: Ålgårdbanen) is a closed, but not abandoned, railway line between Ganddal and Ålgård in Rogaland, Norway. The 12.24-kilometer (7.61 mi) line was built as a narrow gauge branch line of the Jæren Line by the Norwegian State Railways (NSB) and opened in 1924. It runs through the villages of Foss-Eikeland and Figgjo in Sandnes to Ålgård in Gjesdal. Several proposals were made for the Ålgård Line to become the first part of the main line from Stavanger to Oslo, but instead the Sørlandet Line was connected to the Jæren Line in 1944. At the same time, the Ålgård Line was upgraded to standard gauge.\nThe line had up to ten daily round trips with diesel multiple units, until passenger traffic was terminated in 1955. Freight traffic remained until 1988, when most of the line was abandoned in 1988, although 3 kilometers (2 mi) was used until 2001. The line is owned by the Norwegian National Rail Administration. The station at Figgjo has been converted to a museum, and the 3-kilometer (2 mi) section from there to Ålgård is used for recreational draisines. There have been proposals to reopen the line either as part of the Jæren Commuter Rail or the planned light rail for Greater Stavanger.", "The Ålgård Line runs 12.24 kilometers (7.61 mi) from Ganddal to Ålgård. The whole line was built with NSB's standard for main lines, with a maximum gradient of 1.5 percent and minimum curve radius of 300 meters (980 ft). It branches off from the Sørlandet Line (previously the Jæren Line) north of Ganddal Station, 18 kilometers (11 mi) south of Stavanger. When the line opened, Ganddal Station was located south of the creek Stokkelandselven, but it was moved further north in 1935 to simplify operations. The line continues over Stokkelandsevlen on a 7.5-meter-long (25 ft) bridge, and follows the creek until it reaches Foss-Eikeland, 3.43 kilometers (2.13 mi) from Ganddal. Foss-Eikeland had a 91-meter-long (299 ft) passing loop and a 40-meter-long (130 ft) platform. The station building was built in wood, had a single story and was 57 square meters (610 sq ft).\nAfter Foss-Eikeland, the line crosses Figgjo River on a 30-meter-long (98 ft) truss bridge. It passes Bråstein Station and continues up the steepest gradient at 1.5 percent to Figgjo Station. It had a 69-meter (226 ft) passing loop and a 50-meter-long (160 ft) platform, and a 97-square-meter (1,040 sq ft) single-story station building in wood. Ålgård Station was the largest on the line, with two tracks and a 120-meter-long (390 ft) platform, a 12.3-meter-long (40 ft) turntable and a 66-square-meter (710 sq ft) depot. The station was built in wood in two stories, and included living quarters for the station master.\nThe line is, along with the Namsos Line, the only railway line in Norway to holistically employ Neoclassical architecture. All the original stations were designed by R. Werenskiold, who used a simplistic, wooden interpretation of the 1920s Neoclassicism. The station buildings at Figgjo and Ålgård have been preserved by the Norwegian Directorate for Cultural Heritage. The line eventually received additional stops, and in 1955, there were stations at Holane, Vagle, Foss-Eikeland, Kalberg, Bråstein, Figgjo Fajanse, Figgjo, Figgjo fabrikker and Ålgård. Some trains operated to Sandnes Station, whilst others continued all the way to Stavanger Station.\nAs of 1994, the line was intact and operational from Ganddal to Foss-Eigeland and the cement factory there. Here, an internal crane track has been welded across the line. From Foss-Eigeland to Figgjo, the track is intact. At Figgjo, a bridge has been demolished, and it is not possible to traverse that section. Except for a number of level crossings where the tracks have been asphalted over, the line remains intact to Ålgård. At Ålgård Station the tracks have been removed, but the station building and depot remains. The station at Foss-Eigeland has been converted to a church, while the station at Figgjo had been taken over by a wholesaler. The line has officially been closed, but has not been abandoned. The Norwegian National Rail Administration retains ownership and can in the future renovate the line for operation.", "The first plans to build a railway line along the route of the Ålgård Line was as part of the main route between Stavanger and Oslo. In 1873, County Engineer Th. Sejersted proposed a line running through Høgsfjord, Dirdal, Hunnedalen, Sirdal and Hylestad and onwards through Telemark to Kongsberg. Through Rogaland, it would run further east than the Jæren Line, which was under construction from Stavanger to Egersund. When the plans for a Sørlandet Line—which would connect Stavanger to Oslo via Kristiansand—started to be developed in 1892, some of Sjersted's plans were reconsidered.\nOn 27 September 1894, a committee was established to plan a branch from the Jæren Line to Ålgård. The following year, the committee recommended that a line be built branching from Orstad in Klepp, which would cost 348,000 Norwegian krone (NOK). Gjesdal Municipality offered NOK 60,000 of the capital, on the condition that NSB would build and operate it. The state, on the other hand, wanted the line to be private. Private railways were often largely or entirely owned by municipalities, counties and the state, but would operate independently of NSB, and the municipalities would carry the risk for operating deficits.\nA new committee was established in 1910, led by Mayor Sven Nilssen of Gjesdal, who was also director at Ålgårds Ullvarefabrikker. His company paid for traffic counting along the route, and the committee concluded that there was sufficient traffic to build a line. Two routes were proposed: one branching from Sandnes Station and one from Ganddal Station. The Ganddal alternative had lower investment costs, but would give higher operating costs; in 1913, investments were stipulated at NOK 787,800. Although NSB's board supported the line, construction was placed on hold.\nIn 1919, local politicians proposed that the line be built administratively as part of the Jæren Line, but this was rejected by the government. Instead, the ministry wanted to again consider the Ålgård Line as part of the Sørlandet Line, and proposed that the Ålgård Line be built with standard gauge—which would be used for the Sørlandet Line—instead of the narrow gauge used by the Jæren Line. However, there would be no need for standard gauge until the Sørlandet Line was extended to Rogaland, so the line was planned to be built with narrow gauge track, but all other installations would be prepared for standard gauge.\nSiting of the Ålgård Line from Ganddal to Ålgård started in 1920. The final cost estimate was NOK 2.82 million and the plan was passed by Parliament on 20 July 1921, with construction commencing on 21 December. The construction was organized by Just Broch and led by Olaf Bakke. Between 200 and 250 people worked on the line during construction. Because of the recession, the railway works were seen as way to create jobs. Most of the workers came from Stavanger and nearly all had families to support. The first train to operate on the line went from Stavanger on 20 December 1924, with the official opening by Minister of Labour Lars Oftedal taking place when it reached Ålgård. The line became the last state-owned railway in Norway to be opened with narrow gauge.\nAt the start, there were one or two daily round trips with steam locomotive-hauled trains. In the first year of operation, the line transported 18,500 passengers. The initial ticket price from Sandnes to Ålgård was NOK 1.50, compared to NOK 1 for a bus ticket. This was in part because NSB operated with a standard price based on the length of the line, and the line was longer than the corresponding roads. After a while NSB's board accepted that tickets be priced as if they were the length of the road, and the price was reduced to NOK 1.10. Because of competition from truck drivers picking up random passengers for NOK 0.75, the price was then reduced to NOK 0.80 in 1927. The line made a profit during until the late 1940s, after which it started to operate with a deficit. In the financial year 1948–49, the line transported 79,700 passengers.\nIn 1923, Parliament voted for a plan for the Sørlandet Line to run via Bjerkreim instead of the city of Egersund, and then onwards via Gjesdal. This plan meant that the section from Ganddal to Stavanger would have dual gauge. During further planning, it became clear that the Gjesdal alternative, although 15 kilometers (9 mi) shorter, had a greater elevation difference than that needed for connecting the Sørlandet Line to the Jæren Line. This changed the NSB board's and Rogaland County Council's opinion, and the Jæren alternative was chosen. The final decision to build via Jæren was made by parliament in 1937.\nAn inter-municipal railway committee was established in 1941. Led by Sigval Bergesen, it considered the possibility of extending the Ålgård Line towards Hunnedalen via Setesdalsheiene to Lunde in Telemark. The line would be built with a higher standard than the Sørlandet Line and have a shorter route, allowing travel time from Stavanger to Oslo to be reduced to four to five hours. A detailed plan was made for the extension from Ålgård to the county border with Telemark. To consider the proposal, parliament established a committee in 1949 to look at the various proposals. After considering the impact and value of the various railways that had been proposed in the 1940s, it recommended not building the Inner Trunk Line, as the expansion had been christened.\nIn 1930, an NSB Class Cmb1 diesel multiple unit was taken into use, and the number of daily trips increased to four. On days with heavy traffic, it hauled a trailer, which was normally stationed at Sandnes Station. On 10 November 1935, the new Ganddal Station opened, simplifying the stopping at the station. During World War II, the multiple units were disused, and instead the trains were hauled with steam locomotives. From 1 May 1944, the line was converted to standard gauge, and NSB Class 14 multiple units were taken into use, running on wood gas until the end of the war. In 1945, there were four daily round trips, but at the start of 1946, the number of daily round trips increased to six, and from mid-1946, to ten. From 1947 to 1953, there were eight or nine daily round trips, and from 1953 ten. Class 14 was eventually replaced with NSB Class 86 and NSB Class 87 in 1953. By then, the driving time from Ålgård to Sandnes had been reduced from 38 to 25 minutes.\nIn the 1940s and 1950s, several companies started a competing bus service. There were accusations that the route was cross-subsidized and that price dumping was occurring along the route from Sandnes to Ålgård. In the early 1950s, discussion started about closing the line, and on 1 November 1955, all passenger transport was terminated, after a decision in parliament on 26 May 1955. This is the line with the most frequent passenger traffic in Norway to have been closed.\nAfter it was decided that passenger transport on the railway was to be terminated, both NSB's bus division and other private companies, particularly Sverre Hage, wanted to have the concession to operate the line. Both established a bus services with a frequency as if the other operator did not exist. At the peak of the conflict, NSB's operations were at one point stopped by the police, although in the end, the concession was granted to them. As a response, Haga applied for concession to operate passenger transport on the railway, but this was denied by the authorities. The transfer to bus operations increased the ticket prices and travel time.\nFreight trains to the various industrial companies along the line remained until the 1980s, when traffic sank drastically. From 1988, the line was closed from Foss-Eigeland, although the line from there to Ganddal was kept for use for a cement factory. Until 2001 only the three first kilometers (two first miles) of the line were used, for transport of concrete structures, but then the Norwegian National Rail Administration stopped all traffic on the line.", "The non-profit organization Friends of the Ålgård Line (Ålgårdbanens venner) have preserved 3 kilometers (2 mi) of the line and Figgjo Station. The station has been converted to a museum, while the railway between Figgjo and Ålgård is used for renting out draisines. At Figgjo, there is a railway car and a shunter on display.", "Several local politicians have proposed re-opening the line and either making it part of the Jæren Commuter Rail or part of the planned light rail in Greater Stavanger. Additionally, the Norwegian National Rail Administration has supported a future re-opening of the line. Estimates show that the line has a traffic potential for 600,000 passengers per year. In a proposal from the National Rail Administration, the Ålgård Line is seen as a possible branch of the commuter rail, with stations at Vagle, Figgjo, Kongeparken and Ålgård. Without making any investments to the Sørlandet Line, it would be possible to extend the two hourly services that terminate at Sandnes to Ålgård. Ålgård is also a good location for a park and ride for European Route E39. However, the Ålgård Line would need a full upgrade, including new tracks, electric system and signaling. This would give a travel time from Ganddal to Ålgård of 10 to 12 minutes. The estimated cost of re-opening the line is NOK 500 million. The Center Party has proposed converting the line to a bus lane. The borough council of Figgjo has voted to convert the line to a bicycle path, but this has been rejected by the National Rail Administration.", "List of gauge conversions\nNarrow gauge railways in Norway", "Bibliography\nAspenberg, Nils Carl (1994).

[ "Ålhus Church (Norwegian: Ålhus kyrkje) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Sunnfjord Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Ålhus on the northern shore of the lake Jølstravatnet. It is one of two churches for the Ålhus parish which is part of the Sunnfjord prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The white, wooden church was built in a long church style in 1795 by the architect Gunder Gregoriussen Støfringshaug. The church seats about 168 people.", "The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1322, but the church was not new at that time. The first church at Ålhus in Jølster was a wooden stave church that was likely built during the 12th century. In 1660, a new timber-framed church porch with a tower was constructed on the west end of the church. In 1795, most of the old church was torn down (except for the relatively new extension from 1660 which was retained). A new timber-framed long church was rebuilt on the same spot. That relatively new part of the old church that wasn't torn down was re-used as the choir of the new church. The new church was designed by the architect Gunder Gregoriussen Støfringshaug. The architect also incorporated a door from the old church in the new church. The old door dates back to the 12th or 13th century. It is said that the door originally came from a castle that belonged to Audun Hugleiksson.\nIn 1814, this church served as an election church (Norwegian: valgkirke). Together with more than 300 other parish churches across Norway, it was a polling station for elections to the 1814 Norwegian Constituent Assembly which wrote the Constitution of Norway. This was Norway's first national elections. Each church parish was a constituency that elected people called \"electors\" who later met together in each county to elect the representatives for the assembly that was to meet in Eidsvoll later that year.\nThe church was restored in 1868 which included installing larger windows. In 1933, a new sacristy was constructed on the east end. The church was renovated and restored again from 1947 to 1951.", "", "List of churches in Bjørgvin", "\"Ålhus kyrkje\".

[ "Tunnelbacken previously named Ålidbacken is a residential area in Umeå, Sweden. Tunnelbacken is located about 4 km from Umeå centrum. Umeå University and the University Hospital of Umeå are both located less than 1 km from the area. There are a total of 831 apartments in the area, 180 single rooms and another 70 apartments are for students.", "The first inhabitants of Ålidbacken were three soldiers. They each lived in their own soldier cottage, built in 1695. The king\nKarl XI had imposed \"Öns by\" to hold the crown with the three soldiers. This sectioning of land rote number 25 was called \"Harneks\". The soldiers started to farm the land; they acquired sheep's and goats. These fields were called \"soldier field\". Such a field was located near the current backup heating plant in Ålidhem.\nThe city of Umeå was ravaged by a large-scale city fire, called Umeå city fire, which laid most of the city in ashes. To rebuild the city, several industries were built by the river side below Ålidbacken. During the years to come a brickwork factory, a turpentine and tar factory, and two steam sawmills, \"Öbackasågen\" and \"Umeå ångsåg\", were built. In 1903 the construction of Umeå hospital began.\nThese establishments attracted factory workers, craftsmen and trades of all kind to settle down on Ålidbacken. A variegated society with working shanties, cafes,\nshoemakers, shops and road carriers emerged.\nWhen I-20 was built and general conscription was instituted in 1901 the sectioning of land was phased out. \"Öns by\" started to split up and\nsell their collective land to, among other workers at \"Öbackasågen\". In the olden days and during the soldier time, the land at Ålidbacken was owned by\n\"Öns by\" and used it as a mountain grazing. Cows were transported from the island during the summer to graze. The women on the island rowed over every morning and night to milk the cows.\nIn the 1950s the \"total sanitation\" of the area was initiated and the shanty town started to disappear. The area was built between the late 1960s till the middle of 1970.\nThe recent largest changes took place in the beginning of the 90s, when Ålidhemstunneln was built in 92, and the area got its new name: Tunnelbacken.", "", "In 1948 the municipality adopted the new city plan for Ålidbacken on 19 November; the proposal was due to the first of January in 1955.", "The 22 second of April 1991 the city council accepted the new detail plan for Ålidbacken. The plan itself was written in the seventh of April 1989. It was revised in 1990 and 1991. The purpose of the new plan was to enhance the traffic situation on Ålidbacken and to improve the environment for the inhabitants of the area by covering the highways. Furthermore, the covering would create a larger area for residential buildings.\nChanges after revision of the 1991 plan: \nThe convenience store was moved from the ground floor of the new buildings to its own building in the east; this area was supposed to be a parking garage. The building that had the highest total height was 11 floors. After remarks from the Civil Aviation Authority, it was reduced to nine floors with a height limit of + 51,5 meters.", "Alibaba Pizzeria\nThe only restaurant in area is Alibaba Pizzeria which is located at the west end of the area, at the end of the topside of the tunnel.\nSalong cut\nLocated across from Alibaba pizzeria is the small hairdresser: Salong Cut, previously named Salong Madelein.", "\"Tunnelbacken\".\n\"Bygganordning för Sofiehem och Ålidhem\" (PDF).", "Ålidbacken at Umeå Municipality" ]

[ "Ålkistan (Swedish: \"The Eel Hatch\") is the name of a canal, and the surrounding area, north of Stockholm, Sweden. The canal connects Lilla Värtan to Lake Brunnsviken, and delimits Bergshamra, the northern part of Solna, from the northern part of Djurgården.\nThe name Ålkistan first appears on a map of Djurgården dated 1649, pointing out Åhlekijstetorpet (\"The Eel Hatch Cottage\"), Åhlekijstebackan (\"The Eel Hatch Hillside\") and Åhlekijste wijken (\"The Eel Hatch Bay\"). In a rivulet leading to the bay eels were caught using cages (in Swedish called kista, \"coffin\"), which gave the area its present name. The cottage is mentioned as a tavern in 1789.\nBy the mid-19th century, mud threatened to cork the rivulet, which would effectively have turned Lake Brunnsviken, being used as refuse dump as it was, into a sewer. King Charles XV therefore ordered the present canal to be constructed in 1863, which lowered the water level of Brunnsviken by two metres. A 6.5-metre-wide (21 ft) wooden bridge with a mobile flap leading over the canal was added at the same time. The bridge was substituted in 1937 by a 23-metre-wide (75 ft) bridge with an 18-metre-wide (59 ft) roadway and a horizontal clearance of 8 metres, rebuilt in 1972.\nThere was a railway stop at Ålkistan from 1885 until 1923, at the Roslag Railway. The railway is still operational, but the trains do not stop at Ålkistan anymore.\nAs of 2007, no ships wider than 4.0 metres or deeper than 1.6 metres are allowed in the canal. Next to Ålkistan is a residential area, Sfären (\"The Sphere\"), with a local centre.", "\"Norrmalm\". Stockholms gatunamn (2nd ed.). Stockholm: Kommittén för Stockholmsforskning. 1992. p. 142.
