Rendsburg is in the north of Germany on the Kiel Canal. between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. The city was founded in 1150 and had its 800 birthday in 1999. Today there are almost 30. 000 inhabitants and about half of them are women. That means that the women dominate the men. There are some touristic attractions we want to tell you about: The famous Highbridge exists since 1913. Under this railway-bridge there is a suspension ferry which transports cars and people across the canal. After 8 years of work on the Kiel Canal, it was officially opened in 1895. Today there is a great number of ships which pass Rendsburg using the canal. Every time when a ship crosses under the bridge it is greete with its national anthem at a welcoming station. Every year there is a big event called the "eon Hanse Cup" on the canal. That's a rowing competition between Germany, the Netherlands, the United States and Great Britain. There is also a rowing competition between the different schools of Rendsburg but it's on rowing machines. In the evenings there are some musicgroups performing on stage. The Christkirche and the Marienkirche are the two main protestant churches in Rendsburg. The old townhall was built in the 16thcentury but has been restored 4 times so far.The most interesting thing about the townhall is that you can walk under it by going through an archway. Now we wish you a great time in Rendsburg.
