Description
English see below [dt.] Thessaloniki in Zentralmakedonien, Griechenland, ist die zweitgrößte Stadt Griechenlands und war von jeher ein bedeutender Verkehrsknotenpunkt. Heute gilt es als wichtiges Tor Europas nach Istanbul und in den vorderen Orient. Daneben hat sich Thessaloniki einen guten Ruf als Universitäts-, Kultur-, Messe- und Industriestadt geschaffen. Im Osten der Stadt liegt das Messegelände, das vom OTE-Fernsehturm überragt wird. Von hier aus sind es nur wenige Schritte zum östlichen Ende der Uferpromenade mit dem Wahrzeichen von Thessaloniki, dem weißen Turm. Errichtet im 15. Jahrhundert diente er als Verteidigungs- und Befestigungsanlage, später als Gefängnis und Hinrichtungsstätte. Heute ist er ein Museum. Unmittelbar daneben wurde ein Reiterdenkmal für Alexander den Großen errichtet. Alexanders Familie entstammt einem makedonischen Königshaus. Ursprünglich von den klassischen Griechen als Barbaren bezeichnet, gelang es erstmals Alexanders Vater, Phillip II, Griechenland zu erobern und zu vereinen. Doch erst Alexanders tollkühne Eroberungszüge bis an die Grenze Indiens integrierten die Makedonier in Hellas. Thessaloniki wurde von Kassandros, einem makedonischen König, gegründet und nach seiner Frau, einer Halbschwester Alexander des Großen, benannt. Etwas östlich davon treffen wir auf den Dikastirion Platz mit einem Denkmal des Eleftherios Venizelos. An einer Ecke des Platzes ist das osmanische Bey Hammām, einst das größte türkische Bad der Stadt, zu besichtigen. Am Aristoteles Platz, dem schönsten Platz in der Stadt, suchen wir uns eine Taverne, relaxen in der Mittagszeit während wir die Menschen bei ihrem geschäftigen Treiben beobachten. Auch Aristoteles scheint sich seine Gedanken über die Menschen zu machen. ******** [en.] Thessaloniki, Central Macedonia, Greece, is the second largest city in Greece and has always been an important transport hub. Today it is considered as an important gateway from Europe to Istanbul and to the Near East. In addition, Thessaloniki has a good reputation as a university, cultural, trade and industrial city. In the east of the city is the exhibition ground, which is dominated by OTE TV Tower. From here, it is only a few steps to the eastern end of the promenade with the landmark of Thessaloniki, the White Tower. Built in the 15th Century, it served as defense and fortifications and later as a prison and place of execution. Today it is a museum. An equestrian statue of Alexander the Great was erected in immediate proximity. Alexander's family originates from a Macedonian royal house. Originally described as barbarians by the classical Greeks, Alexander's father Philip II succeeded for the first time to conquer and unite Greece. However Alexander's foolhardy conquests up to the border of India integrated the Macedonians in Hellas. Thessaloniki was founded by Cassander, a Macedonian king, and named after his wife, a half-sister of Alexander the Great. Further east we arrive at the Dikastirion square with a monument of Eleftherios Venizelos. At one corner of the square one can visit the Ottoman Bey hamam, the largest Turkish bath of the city. During the lunchtime, we look for a tavern at the Aristoteles square, the most beautiful square in the city and watch the people at their busy hustle and bustle. Even Aristotle seems to make his thoughts on the people.
