90-515: The name Wenningstedt likely means '"homestead of the people of Winni". Braderup probably means "village on the slope". Tradition holds that in the 5th and 6th century the Angles and Saxons led by Hengist and Horsa sailed from here to conquer England. Reportedly, their raiding party set sail from a harbour in Frisia called Wynningstede . However, this is unproven and even if true, due to coastal erosion ,

180-640: A 'W' or 'E' appended to the number signifying the property lies to the west (or east) of Thunderbolts Way. Similarly, in north–south running streets have an 'N' or 'S' appended to the house number signifying that the property lies north (or south) of the Oxley Highway. Ballarat Central , Victoria, uses the US system of increasing house numbers by 100 after a major cross street. Streets are designated North or South depending upon their relative position to Sturt Street. The number system will always start with No. 1 or No. 2 at

270-664: A band of Suebic peoples. This is unexpected. Owing to the uncertainty of this passage, much speculation exists regarding the original home of the Anglii. However, as pointed out by Gudmund Schütte , the neighbouring Langobards appear in two places, and the ones near the Rhine appears to be there by mistake. Schütte, in his analysis, believes that the Angles are placed correctly relative to the Langobardi to their west, but that these have been positioned in

360-539: A health resort is however still uncontested, the North Sea with its stimulating climate enhances one's health and trains the immune system without any additional treatment. The village's spa centre, which once offered cures and applications like taking the waters, massages and balneotherapy , has been closed and demolished. Tourism in Wenningstedt does also profit from two adjacent golf courses that were established in

450-502: A house numbering system in Paris dates to the 15th century. On March 1, 1768, King Louis XV decreed that all houses outside of Paris were to be assigned a number to help locate the soldiers residing in civilian houses. On February 4, 1805, Napoleon I announced that in Paris for house numbering a distinction should be made between even numbers (on the right side) and odd numbers (on the left side);

540-427: A mailbox, or even a vacant lot. House numbering schemes vary by location, and in many cases even within cities. In some areas of the world, including many remote areas, houses are named but are not assigned numbers. In many countries, the house number follows the name of the street; but in anglophone and francophone countries, the house number normally precedes the name of the street. A house numbering scheme

630-698: A marriage agreement with the Warini who he lived north of the Franks at that time. Bede (died 735) stated that the Anglii, before coming to Great Britain, dwelt in a land called Angulus, "which lies between the province of the Jutes and the Saxons, and remains unpopulated to this day." Similar evidence is given by the 9th-century Historia Brittonum . King Alfred the Great and the chronicler Æthelweard identified this place with Angeln, in

720-597: A new estate/block along the street (e.g. 1–100 Waterloo Place/Platz, Sud St. .); a new road name inserted along the course of a street either with or without mention of the parent street; unused numbers above the highest house number may be used (although rarely as this introduces confusing discontinuity), or the upper remainder of the street is renumbered. Other local numbering schemes are also in use for administrative or historic reasons, including clockwise and anti-clockwise numbering, district-based numbering, distance-based numbering, and double numbering. The first record of

810-525: A numbering system based on tens of metres or (less commonly) metres has been devised. Thus a farm 2,300 metres (7,500 ft) from the start of the road, on the right-hand side would be numbered 230. Walcha , in the New England district of northern New South Wales , has a unique numbering system which differs from the rest of the state. The town lies at the intersection of the Oxley Highway and Thunderbolts Way. All properties on east–west running streets have

900-784: A people known as Angles (Anglii) lived beyond (apparently northeast of) the Lombards and Semnones , who lived near the River Elbe . The name of the Angles may have been first recorded in Latinised form, as Anglii , in the Germania of Tacitus. It is thought to derive from the name of the area they originally inhabited, the Angeln peninsula, which is on the Baltic Sea coast of Schleswig-Holstein . Two related theories have been advanced, which attempt to give

990-465: A retro-Frisian style - most of them being two-and-a-half storeys buildings with four to six flats. This has not only displaced the traditional family-run guest houses, but it alsodecreased the housing space available for long-term residents of Wenningstedt. Tower blocks like in Westerland have not been built, only some flat blocks were constructed along the main road in the early 1980s. In cooperation with

1080-550: A river or a large church fronts one side, all plots on one side of a street are numbered consecutively. Such a street if modern and long is more likely to be numbered using odd numbers, starting at 1. Along oldest streets, numbering is usually clockwise and consecutive: for example in Pall Mall , some new towns , and in many villages in Wales. This often also applies to culs-de-sac and standalone terraces . For instance, 10 Downing Street ,

1170-515: A single numbering system covers the entire settlement, especially in rural areas without formal street names. In this case the house number is appended directly to the village name in addresses. This often coexists with newer developments within the same village that use street names, e.g. "58 Dorfield" alongside "3 Church Close, Dorfield", although to avoid confusion the older houses may eventually gain street names of their own while keeping their numbers ("58 Axtley Road, Dorfield"). Developers may avoid

1260-532: A single progressive series for all house numbers. In Genoa , Savona and Florence houses are marked with black (sometimes blue in Florence) numbers; businesses are usually (but not always) given red numbers, giving up to two distinct, numerically overlapping series per street. Those of businesses are denoted in all other writing (documents, online directories, etc.) by the addition of the letter "r" for rosso (e.g. "Via dei Servi 21r"). In most of Turkey, currently

1350-488: A street-long pitfall to researchers using historic street directories and other records. A very rare variation may be seen where a high street (main street) continues from a less commercial part – a road which breaks the UK conventions by not starting at 1 or 2. On one side of the main road between Stratford and Leytonstone houses up to no. 122 are "Leytonstone Road". The next house is "124 High Road, Leytonstone". In some villages,

1440-527: Is St. Christopher in Westerland. In September 2005, a foundation was established to maintain the Frisian Chapel and the pastor's post. With "Üüs Serk - Unsere Kirche" (Our church), the Norddörfer Parish wants to secure its work in the villages of Kampen, Wenningstedt and Braderup. € 725,000 have so far been gathered as a founding asset. On a long-term prospect €1 million is needed. In the meantime,

1530-619: Is Katrin Fifeik. Blazon : Per bend left wavy. Dexter azure, a Viking ship emerging or with a dragon's head langued sable pheony. Sinister argent, two pales wavy azure per bend left. Of old the Frisian people were pagans from a Christian point of view. With their missioning the Frisians officially became Christian but kept a lot of old traditions, e.g. the Biikebrennen . The first church for Wenningstedt

1620-490: Is afforded by English and Danish traditions relating to two kings named Wermund and Offa of Angel , from whom the Mercian royal family claimed descent and whose exploits are connected with Angeln, Schleswig, and Rendsburg . Danish tradition has preserved record of two governors of Schleswig, father and son, in their service, Frowinus ( Freawine ) and Wigo (Wig), from whom the royal family of Wessex claimed descent. During

1710-503: Is based on residential areas called cư xá . A cư xá is addressed by house number, road, and cư xá , for example " 123 đường số 4 cư xá Bình Thới ". Some localities still use an older address format based on neighborhood ( khu phố ): for example, in " 7A/34 Tô Hiến Thành ", 7A is the neighborhood number. This confusing format is being gradually phased out in favor of the more modern formats above. Generally in Iran and especially in

1800-501: Is divided between Logan City and the City of Brisbane . Where a block of land, such as No. 9, is divided into parts, the sequence might go 7, 9, 9A, 11, 13. Conversely, should blocks of land be combined such as 51, 53, 55, the numbers might go 49, 51–55, 57. An older form of 9A is 9½. In New South Wales and South Australia , the vast majority of streets were numbered when the land titles were created, with odd numbers assigned to houses on

1890-577: Is highly dependent on tourism . There is hardly any industry that is not at least indirectly influenced by the tourism business. Like the immediate hotel and restaurant industry, retailers and several service enterprises are also dependent on the tourists' spending. Wenningstedt calls itself a "families' spa" and with about a million overnight stays booked, it is the fifth-largest tourist resort in Schleswig-Holstein. These bookings are distributed among 7,000 guest beds, 2,000 of which are accounted for by

1980-422: Is in law the número de polícia , which literally means police's number – the police formerly assigned the numbers rather than the town hall. The lote is the construction plot number used in the urban plan , a consecutive number series applies to a broad neighborhood. In theory and in most cases, the use of a lote number system is provisional, being replaced by a traditional street number system some time after

2070-425: Is merely a legend. The first definitive mention of Wenningstedt occurs in 1462. Braderup by contrast is one of the youngest settlements on the geest of Sylt. It is first mentioned in a document in 1540. Until the early 19th century, Wenningstedt remained almost unchanged for centuries, consisting of merely eight farmsteads. The inhabitants lived on agriculture and fishing. Not a few men would also go whaling in

2160-583: Is now southeast Scotland , including Edinburgh , and as far south as the Humber estuary and even the river Witham. The rest of that people stayed at the centre of the Angle homeland in the northeastern portion of the modern German Bundesland of Schleswig-Holstein, on the Jutland Peninsula. There, a small peninsular area is still called Angeln today and is formed as a triangle drawn roughly from modern Flensburg on

2250-421: Is skipped replacing it with equivalents such as: 12+1 or 14−1. In Europe the most common house numbering scheme, in this article referred to as the "European" scheme, is to number each plot on one side of the road with ascending odd numbers, from 1, and those on the other with ascending even numbers, from 2 (or sometimes 0). The odd numbers are usually on the left side of the road, looking in the direction in which

2340-525: Is used in house numbering, where numbering norms are not certain. A xiang ("巷" xiàng, translated as "lane") indicates a branch from a main road; and a nong ("弄" nòng/lòng, translated as "alley") indicates a branch from a xiang . For many reasons such as new establishment of buildings or several apartments in a building, the zhi ("之" zhī, normally simply translated as a hyphen, "–") is used. The most common street address formats in Vietnam are: Another scheme

2430-401: Is used occasionally. Each house or apartment can be uniquely identified by a combination of a postcode, a street number and a suffix. Apartments within the same building can be distinguished various ways: by assigning each apartment their own street number, by assigning a simple prefix (generally a letter) or by assigning a complex prefix that takes into account both the floor and the apartment on

2520-486: The Sylter Inselbahn  [ de ] (island railway) connected Wenningstedt to Westerland in the south and from 1908 to List in the north. The railway was abolished in 1970. In 1914, a Protestant chapel was built at the village pond. During World War II a heavy coastal artillery battery was deployed in the dunes northwest of Wenningstedt. There was however no combat action; the facilities were blown up in

2610-475: The Amt Landschaft Sylt a revision of street names and house numbering was undertaken, which became effective on 1 January 2006. This revision had become urgent since the extensive construction of the past 50 years had made it difficult for emergency services, postmen and also guests to find their way around. Wenningstedt-Braderup consists of Wenningstedt on the west coast of Sylt and Braderup, located on

2700-526: The Arctic Sea or sailed on Hamburg ships to catch herring . Since 1859, Wenningstedt has been a seaside resort , since 1960 it has been a recognised seaside spa ( Nordseebad ). In 1830, Braderup still had more inhabitants than Wenningstedt. Only by the beginning of the 20th century did the latter start to grow faster, boosted by tourism, and the number of inhabitants initially surpassed Braderup only slightly. Together with Kampen and Braderup, Wenningstedt

2790-721: The Germanic presence in the British Isles in the 7th century, but was eclipsed by the rise of Mercia in the 8th century. Both kingdoms fell in the great assaults of the Danish Viking armies in the 9th century. Their royal houses were effectively destroyed in the fighting, and their Angle populations came under the Danelaw . Further south, the Saxon kings of Wessex withstood the Danish assaults. Then in

2880-594: The Lex Anglorum et Werinorum hoc est Thuringorum is believed by many to have come. The ethnic names of Frisians and Warines are also attested in these Saxon districts. An especially early reference to the Angli in Britain is the 6th-century Byzantine historian Procopius who however expressed doubts about the stories he had heard about events in the west, which he apparently heard through Frankish diplomats. He never mentions

2970-504: The Wadden Sea eastern coast of the island. Due to its significantly higher number of residents, Wenningstedt constitutes the municipality's centre with a communal office, spa bureau and retail businesses. Braderup does not have an original village core but until the mid-19th century was merely a hamlet of a few scattered farmsteads. Even today there are no major tourist facilities or hotels there. Wenningstedt's economy, as everywhere on Sylt,

3060-477: The 1950s and 1960s brought about another major change. Simple brick houses were built, very often meant to be small guest houses. In addition the first true summer homes were constructed in the post-war era. In the 1980s and 1990s almost all land that could be covered with buildings inside the village was used, so new constructions regularly meant demolishing old structures. Since the 1980s, almost exclusively holiday apartment houses have been built, some leaning towards

3150-458: The 1980s. The Denghoog dolmen , which was built in the Neolithicum around 3000 BC, is located on the northern outskirts of Wenningstedt. Its name means Thing Hill. It is made up of twelve supporting stones that carry a ceiling of stone slabs. It was first excavated in 1868 and since 1928 has been open to the public. Another local attraction is the village pond of Wenningstedt. In the 1950s it

3240-555: The Angles split up and founded the kingdoms of Northumbria , East Anglia , and Mercia . H. R. Loyn has observed in this context that "a sea voyage is perilous to tribal institutions", and the apparently tribe-based kingdoms were formed in England. Early times had two northern kingdoms (Bernicia and Deira) and two midland ones (Middle Anglia and Mercia), which had by the seventh century resolved themselves into two Angle kingdoms, viz., Northumbria and Mercia. Northumbria held suzerainty amidst

3330-467: The British and European norm to number houses on one side of the street with odd numbers, and the other side with even numbers, is generally followed. Some roads or streets along the coastline may however have numbering only on one side, even if the opposite side is later reclaimed . These roads or streets include Ferry Street , Connaught Road West , and Gloucester Road . Most mainland Chinese cities use

3420-471: The European system, with odd numbers on one side of the road and even numbers on the opposite side. In high-density old Shanghai, a street number may be either a hao ("号" hào) or nong ("弄" nòng/lòng), both of them being numbered successively. A hao refers a door rather than a building, for example, if a building with the address 25 Wuming Rd is followed by another building, which has three entrances opening to

Each nation was so prolific that it sent large numbers of individuals every year to the Franks, who "allow them to settle in the part of their land which appears to be more deserted, and by this means they say they are winning over

3690-646: The Semnones and Langobardi, who lived near the Elbe and were better known to the Romans. He grouped the Angles with several other tribes in that region, the Reudigni , Aviones , Varini , Eudoses , Suarines , and Nuithones . According to Tacitus, they were all living behind ramparts of rivers and woods, and therefore inaccessible to attack. He gives no precise indication of their geographical situation but states that, together with

Wenningstedt is moreover recognised as a spa in Germany, yet classical spa treatments are almost extinct due to changes in German health insurance regulations. Thus today less than 2% of all tourists are traditional spa guests who have been prescribed a cure. Wenningstedt's value as

The province of Schleswig has proved rich in prehistoric antiquities that date apparently from the fourth and fifth centuries. A large cremation cemetery has been found at Borgstedt , between Rendsburg and Eckernförde , and it has yielded many urns and brooches closely resembling those found in pagan graves in England. Of still greater importance are

3960-500: The baseline of the street. Lisbon numbering is European and furthermore 'from the river, odd numbers left'. Because the Tagus borders Lisbon on the south and the east, this means that north–south streets are numbered low from the south, and east–west streets are numbered low from the east. In many new planned neighborhoods of Portugal houses and other buildings are identified by a lote (plot) number without reference to their street. This

4050-401: The capital Tehran odd numbers are all on one side and the even numbers opposite along streets. Infrequently, this style confuses people because this is not how it works everywhere in the city and sometimes the numbers get intertwined with each other. In the rural parts, some houses have no number at all and some have their owner's details as the number instead. In some cases, using the number 13

4140-456: The center. The infill numbering system avoids renumbering the entire street when developments are modified. For example, Mannerheimintie 5 (a large mansion house on a large city plot) was demolished and replaced with 4 new buildings each with 2 stairwells all accessible from Mannerheimintie. The 8 new access stairwells are labelled A B C D E F G and H (each with the letter visible above the stairwell). Each stairwell has 4 apartments on 5 floors, so

4230-569: The cliff there is a sandy beach all along the village, which especially in summer serves as a major tourist attraction. Northeast of the village of Braderup there is the Braderup heath. Already in the 1920s this rough landscape was declared a nature reserve . The area borders directly on the Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea National Park , where guided mudflat hiking tours are on offer. The current Bürgermeisterin (mayor)

4320-460: The datum point of the street, with number 1 typically being on the left side of the street. In Japan and South Korea, a city is divided into small numbered zones. The houses within each zone are then labelled in the order in which they were constructed, or clockwise around the block. This system is comparable to the system of sestieri ( sixths ) used in Venice . In Hong Kong, a former British colony,

4410-511: The direction of the streets is oriented from upstream to downstream for streets parallel to the Seine , and from the banks to the north and south for streets oblique or perpendicular to the Seine. Such a system quickly became common in large cities across France. A ruling in 1994 obliged French communes with a population of 2,000 or more to number their houses. Sequential numbering, common in cities, mimics

4500-412: The even numbers 14 and 16). Buildings with multiple entrances may have a single number for the entire building or a separate number for each entrance. Where plots are not built upon gaps may be left in the numbering scheme or marked on maps for the plots. If buildings are added to a stretch of old street the following may be used rather than a long series of suffixes to the existing numbers: a new name for

However, in 1920, at the spot he had already designated and purchased for his monastery, he erected a "Buddha monument" which gradually decayed after his death and was eventually torn down in the early 1940s. Today, Buddhism does not play a role on Sylt any more. [REDACTED] Media related to Wenningstedt-Braderup at Wikimedia Commons Angles (tribe) The Angles were one of

However, in Porto and several other cities in the Portuguese Northern region , as well as in the Cascais Municipality (near Lisbon ), houses are numbered in the North American style, with the number assigned being proportional to the distance in meters from

4860-406: The full address of an apartment within a compound may look like "Apartment 5005, no. 7, lane 31, Wuming Rd". In Taiwan , the European system is used in cities, and is mostly same as the cases of mainland Chinese cities and Hong Kong. Longer roads are usually divided into several sections to prevent the road having too many numbers (normally more than 1000). In rural areas, village or settlement name

4950-546: The gradual development of house numbering and street addressing schemes, reform efforts occur periodically. For instance, some US cities started efforts to improve their schemes in the late 19th century. In Australia and New Zealand, the current standard (Australia/New Zealand joint standard AS/NZS 4819:2011 – Rural & Urban Addressing) is directed at local governments that have the primary responsibility for addressing and road naming. The standard calls for lots and buildings on newly created streets to be assigned odd numbers (on

By the help of these discoveries, Angle culture in the age preceding the invasion of Britannia can be pieced together. According to sources such as the History of Bede, after the invasion of Britannia,

5130-466: The house number may be engraved. Contemporary architecture and modern house building techniques see alternatively acrylic, aluminium, or glass, ceramic, brass, slate, or stone used. Italy mostly follows the European scheme described above but there are some exceptions, generally for historical reasons. In Venice , houses are numbered within six named series (one per sestiere district). Similarly, small villages in rural areas may also occasionally use

5220-606: The houses are distinguished by numbers". Parts of the Paris suburbs were numbered in the 1720s; the houses in the Jewish quarter in the city of Prague in the Austrian Empire were numbered in the same decade to aid the authorities in the conscription of the Jews . Street numbering gained momentum in the mid-18th century, especially in Prussia, where authorities were ordered to "fix numbers on

5310-463: The houses ... in little villages on the day before the troops march in". In the 1750s and 60s, street numbering on a large scale was applied in Madrid , London, Paris, and Vienna , as well as many other cities across Europe. On 1 March 1768, King Louis XV of France decreed that all French houses outside of Paris affix house numbers, primarily for tracking troops quartered in civilian homes. Due to

Thus it actually happened that not long ago the king of the Franks, in sending some of his intimates on an embassy to the Emperor Justinian in Byzantium, sent with them some of the Angili, thus seeking to establish his claim that this island was ruled by him."

5580-577: The late 9th and early 10th centuries, the kings of Wessex defeated the Danes and liberated the Angles from the Danelaw. They united their house in marriage with the surviving Angle royalty, and were accepted by the Angles as their kings. This marked the passing of the old Anglo-Saxon world and the dawn of the " English " as a new people. The regions of East Anglia and Northumbria are still known by their original titles.

Intermediate properties usually have a number suffixed A, B, C, etc., much more rarely instead being given a half number, e.g. the old police station at 20 + 1 ⁄ 2 Camberwell Church Street. It is extremely rare for a property (built next to no. 2 after

5850-628: The main Germanic peoples who settled in Great Britain in the post-Roman period. They founded several kingdoms of the Heptarchy in Anglo-Saxon England . Their name, which probably derives from the Angeln peninsula, is the root of the name England ("Engla land" or "Ængla land" ), as well as ultimately the word English for its people and language. According to Tacitus , writing around 100 AD,

5940-415: The name a Germanic etymology: According to Gesta Danorum , Dan and Angul were made rulers by the consent of their people because of their bravery. The Danes and Angles are respectively named from them. The earliest surviving mention of the Angles is in chapter 40 of Tacitus's Germania written around AD 98. Tacitus describes the "Anglii" as one of the more remote Suebic tribes compared to

6030-449: The neighborhood is built and inhabited. In some neighborhoods, lote numbers are kept for many years, some never being replaced by street numbers. The relatively new planned neighborhood of Parque das Nações in Lisbon has also a different numbering scheme: each building is referred by its plot, parcel, and building (in Portuguese: lote , parcela , prédio ). The European system is most widely used. The odd numbers will typically be on

6120-440: The new development has 160 new addresses in all running from Mannerheimintie 5 A 1 through to Mannerheimintie 5 H 160. The opposite example is where old, narrow buildings have been combined; Iso Roobertinkatu 36, 38 and 40 were demolished in the 1920s and the new building has the address Iso Roobertinkatu 36–40. In the rural parts of Finland, a variant of this method is used. As in towns, odd and even numbers are on opposite sides of

Blocks of flats (apartments) are treated in two ways: In the UK street numbering and street signposts vary across local authorities. Numbering plates (or similar) are overwhelmingly at the discretion of house owners. In the UK fanlights in front doors were introduced in the 1720s in which

6390-417: The numbers increase. Where additional buildings are inserted or subdivided, these are often suffixed a, b, c, etc. (in Spain, France and Afragola until 2001, bis , ter , quater , quinquies etc.). Where buildings are later combined, one of the original numbers may be used, the numbers may be combined ("13/15"), or the numbers may be used as a given range (e.g. "13–17"; not to be construed as including

6480-470: The official home of the Prime Minister , is next door to 11 Downing Street . Houses which surround squares, as well as market places, are usually numbered consecutively clockwise. In the early to mid 19th century numbering of long urban streets commonly changed from clockwise (strict consecutive) to odds facing evens, particularly when roads were extended into new suburbs. Where this took place it presents

6570-409: The parish hopes to earn €50,000 per annum from interest alone to maintain its work. The physician and author Paul Dahlke introduced Buddhism to the island in the 1920s. In 1914, he built a "Buddhist Home" in Wenningstedt, which was supposed to serve as a meeting point and temple for Buddhists on Sylt. He refrained from constructing an already planned Buddhist monastery, though, which would have been

6660-456: The place they could have sailed from is now located more than 2 kilometres west of the current beach, in the North Sea. According to another tradition, a few hundred metres off today's shoreline there was the ancient settlement of Wendingstedt with an old Frisian port at the west coast. This supposedly was home to 200 fishing boats and was destroyed by a storm in 1300 AD. It is disputed though among scientists if this village ever existed or if it

6750-559: The province of Schleswig (though it may then have been of greater extent), and this identification agrees with the indications given by Bede. In the Norwegian seafarer Ohthere of Hålogaland 's account of a two-day voyage from the Oslo fjord to Schleswig , he reported the lands on his starboard bow, and Alfred appended the note "on these islands dwelt the Engle before they came hither". Confirmation

6840-500: The right of the street when facing the direction along which numbers increase. There is no plan to reassign these numbers. On some long urban roads (e.g., Parramatta Road in Sydney) numbers ascend until the road crosses a council or suburb boundary, then start again at 1 or 2, where a street sign gives the name of the relevant area – these streets have repeating numbers. In semi-rural and rural areas, where houses and farms are widely spaced,

6930-448: The road, but many numbers are skipped. Instead, the house number indicates the distance in tens of metres from the start of the road. For example, "Pengertie 159" would be 1590 metres from the place where Pengertie starts. When more buildings are constructed than numbers were originally allotted, discontinuity of numbering is avoided by giving multiple adjacent buildings the same number, with a letter suffix starting at "A". The "Bis" suffix

7020-600: The six other tribes, they worshipped Nerthus , or Mother Earth, whose sanctuary was located on "an island in the Ocean". The Eudoses are generally considered to be the Jutes and these names have been associated with localities in Jutland or on the Baltic coast. The coast contains sufficient estuaries, inlets, rivers, islands, swamps, and marshes to have been inaccessible to those not familiar with

7110-403: The story was told by Bede, Gregory was struck by the unusual appearance of the slaves and asked about their background. When told they were called Anglii (Angles), he replied with a Latin pun that translates well into English: "Bene, nam et angelicam habent faciem, et tales angelorum in caelis decet esse coheredes" (It is well, for they have an angelic face, and such people ought to be co-heirs of

7200-648: The street had been numbered) to be zero (0) or named Minusone; in 2013 researchers found these instances once in Middlesbrough and once in Newbury . In 2022, starting to type "0," into the Royal Mail postcode search revealed Middlesbrough had four listed properties, whilst Birmingham, Ellesmere Port, Lincoln and London have one each. In many rural streets, significantly built alongside before 1900, houses remain named and unnumbered. In some places, particularly when open land,

7290-400: The street, the latter will be numbered as three different hao , from 27 to 29 Wuming Rd. A nong , sometimes translated as "lane", refers to a block of buildings. So if in the above example the last building is followed by an enclosed compound, it will have the address "lane 31, Wuming Rd". A nong is further subdivided in its own hao , which do not correlate with the hao of the street, so

7380-619: The system used in Paris. But many small villages used the numbering which takes a central village point — often the town hall — and works outward (a house that is 200 metres along the road from point zero will be numbered 200, its nearest neighbour, perhaps 270 metres from the centre, becomes number 270, etc.) The Finnish numbering system incorporates solutions to the problems which arose with mass urbanization and increase in building density. Addresses always are formatted as street name followed by street address number. With new, infill building, new addresses are created by adding letters representing

7470-610: The terrain, such as the Romans, who considered it unknown and inaccessible. The majority of scholars believe that the Anglii lived on the coasts of the Baltic Sea , probably in the southern part of the Jutland peninsula. This view is based partly on Old English and Danish traditions regarding persons and events of the fourth century, and partly because striking affinities to the cult of Nerthus as described by Tacitus are to be found in pre-Christian Scandinavian religion. Surviving versions of

7560-419: The village, but due to tourist development new streets and neighbourhoods were planned on the drawing board. As the guest houses more and more avoided the old village core, the new centre gradually migrated to the west, towards the beach. The new style was now leaning towards fashionable seaside resort architecture: two-storey buildings with high-ceilinged rooms and white, wooden porches. The construction boom of

7650-650: The work of Ptolemy , who wrote around AD 150, in his Geography (2.10), describes the Angles in a confusing manner. In one passage, the Sueboi Angeilloi (or Suevi Angili ), are described as living inland between the northern Rhine and central Elbe , but apparently not touching either river, with the Suebic Langobardi on the Rhine to their west, and the Suebic Semnones on the Elbe stretching to their east, forming

7740-590: The wrong place. The Langobardi also appear in the expected position on the lower Elbe, and the Angles would be expected to their northwest, based upon Tacitus. Another theory is that all or part of the Angles dwelt or moved among other coastal people, perhaps confederated up to the basin of the Saale (in the neighbourhood of the ancient canton of Engilin ) on the Unstrut valleys below the Kyffhäuserkreis , from which region

7830-472: Was gifted to the municipality by its former owner under the premise that the village keeps it open to the public and preserves it as a place of recreation. The statutes rule that the adjacent buildings have to have thatched roofs in order to maintain the rural charm of the village. Wenningstedt is located at the edge of an area of dunes ending in the Rotes Kliff (Red Cliff) stretching north to Kampen. Below

7920-463: Was located in the neighbouring village of Keitum . Only in 1914 the so-called Frisian Chapel was built in the immediate vicinity of an ancient pagan ritual site. Until then, the people of Wenningstedt had to take on the uncomfortable trip to Keitum - only for tourists and only in summer a church service was at times held in the hall of the Friesenhof inn in Wenningstedt. The closest Roman Catholic church

8010-504: Was part of the so-called Northern Villages ( Norddörfer ) - an early municipal association on the island. The term was coined when List , the northernmost village on the island, was part of the Danish realm . Thus Wenningstedt, Braderup and Kampen were the German "Northernmost Villages". This administrative cooperation ended in 1927 when Kampen and Wenninhgstedt became two separate communities, with Braderup becoming part of Wenningstedt. In 1903,

8100-546: Was present in Pont Notre-Dame in Paris in 1512. However, the purpose of the numbering was generally to determine the distribution of property ownership in the city, rather than for the purpose of organization. In the 18th century the first street numbering schemes were applied across Europe, to aid in administrative tasks and the provision of services such as mail delivery. The New View of London reported in 1708 that "at Prescott Street, Goodman's Fields, instead of signs ,
