Feneos

Feneos (Greek: Φενεός, Latin: "Pheneus") is a village and a former municipality in Corinthia, Peloponnese, Greece. Since the 2011 local government reform it is part of the municipality Sikyona, of which it is a municipal unit. The municipal unit has an area of 226.201 km2. Its population was 1,342 in 2011. The seat of the municipality was in Goura. The name comes from the ancient city of Pheneus.
History.
In ancient times the area was considered part of the Arcadian region. According to Herodotus the river Styx originates near Feneos. Feneos lies at the foot of Mount Cyllene, mythical birthplace of the god Hermes. It therefore served as an important cult centre for the god, notably during the annual festival of the Hermaea. Catullus (Poem 68) mentions the seasonal flooding of the plain and says it was drained by an underground channel dug by Hercules during his Twelve Labors.
In the "Aeneid," Evander's fond memories of a visit by Aeneas' father Anchises to Feneos are one factor in his decision to ally his Arcadian colonists to the Trojans.
During the Greek Civil War, Communist guerillas turned the nearby monastery of St. George into a concentration camp and killing ground for those they deemed "reactionaries". The concentration camp was well-organized for mass killings, with 6-7 resident killers that worked round the clock in busy times. It is believed that hundreds were killed.

Heldra

Heldra is a village in the Werra-Meißner-Kreis on northeastern edge of Hesse, Germany. For administrative purposes it has been, since 1972, part of Wanfried, but the district is a rural one and Wanfried is 7 km (4 miles) away to the north.
Location.
Heldra is on the eastern edge of "Nordhessen" which is the northern part of Hesse, at the point where the Heldra Brook ("Heldrabach") joins the Werra River. Due to the irregular line followed here by the boundary between Hesse and Thuringia, Heldra is bordered to the west, south and east by Thuringia. Neighbouring towns and villages are Treffurt, Großburschla and Katharinenberg (all in Thuringia). Heldra's connection with Hesse is to the north via "Bundesstraße" 250.
The village now includes "Bahnhof Großburschla"(Großburschla Station). The station building is well preserved and the centre of a small settlement of some 60 inhabitants. It comprises several homes as well as a restaurant. Großburschla itself was separated from its railway station after July 1945, following the division of Germany into occupation zones and the subsequent de facto creation after 1949 of a progressively more firmly closed frontier through the middle of Germany under the terms of the Potsdam Agreement.
To the south, on the far side of the River Werra, is the 503 meter high steep sided Heldrastein from which Heldra takes its name. It is accessible for walkers via a footbridge over the river.
History.
The first surviving record of the place, then called “Heldron”, dates from 874. The name “Hellerbach” is applied in some later documents. Along the route that leads out of the village to its north is the so-called “Feldmühle” spot. The site of an abandoned village which according to local tradition was the site of Heldra until it was relocated in the fifteenth century to its present position, closer to the “Hellerburg” mountain.
In 1902 Heldra received a rail connection thanks to the construction of the 46 km (30 Mile) long rail link Schwebda–Wartha. However, the line was cut between Heldra and Treffurt when Germany was divided in 1945, and in 1970 the line was closed.
Between 1949 and 1990 Heldra was surrounded on three sides by the German Democratic Republic, and accessible to West Germany only from the north of the village.
During the 1960s and 1970s Heldra became a favoured spot with West German visitors who came to peer across the closed and by this time fortified frontier into East Germany. Special “Information Pavilions” were set up to support the grim tourism.
Local topography made the frontier between the two Germanys irregular at this point, which became known as the “Heldrauer Zipfel”, and for East German border guards charged with preventing their fellow citizens from escaping to the west. The frontier presented particular challenges, while western camera teams also tended to descend on the area to film the border. East German houses had been cleared from places within sight of West Germany, but residents of nearby Großburschla nevertheless regularly passed within sight of “the west” on one stretch of road when traveling by bus or car.
These were under strict orders not to stop or react in any way if someone from the west waved across to them. Because of a small intervening mountain and the level of the road in relation to the position of the frontier, a 150-meter length of the border could not be seen from the observation towers set up to look out for possible escapees, and the section was therefore dependent on regular foot patrols. This was the scene of a notable escape in the early morning of 3 March 1989, less than nine months before the collapse of the separate eastern state. When an East German truck driver who knew the area well, managed to smuggle a long metal tube hidden as part of a small crane fitted to his truck, and use it to get over the first of the two fences divided by the “no-man’s land” frontier strip on the eastern side of the frontier, and to cross an unmined section of the territory only to find, when he reached the second fence, that it was too high for him to get over it.
He encountered an unaccompanied guard dog, but managed, to his own astonishment, to befriend it. He then spotted that the roof on the dog's kennel was coming loose, and by detaching it was able to improvise a step that enabled him to clear the second fence and quickly disappeared into the wooded area on the Hessian (western) side of the border.
The man succeeded and so the story is known, but attempting the escape from East Germany was nevertheless a life-threatening project for those who undertook it.
Once Soviet control over East Germany ended, the village could concentrate on less deadly forms of competition and in 2003 it was the Regional Winner of the “Unser Dorf” (“"Our Village"”) competition. A year later, in 2004, Heldra won a silver medal in the national “Unser Dorf soll schöner werden – unser Dorf hat Zukunft“(“"Our village shall be more beautiful - our village has [a bright] future"“) competition.
Buildings and other features of interest.
The village contains many traditional style half-timbered houses including the ancestral homes of the philanthropist and scholar August Hermann Francke and of the Prussian hero of the American Independence War, Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben.
Also worth a mention are the nearby Heldrastein Mountain and the village's own museum.
Celebrity Connections.
Heldra was the birthplace of a notorious bandit ("Räuber") called Florien Henning, whose notoriety was enhanced by a song (in German):

Friedland, Brandenburg

Friedland (Lower Sorbian: "Bryland") is a town in the Oder-Spree district, in Brandenburg, Germany. It is situated in the historic Lower Lusatia region, about south of Beeskow, and north of Cottbus.
History.
The town was first mentioned as "Fredberg" in a 1235 deed issued by the Lusatian margrave Henry III of Meissen. A 1301 contract signed by Margrave Frederick I named a town and castle of "Vredeburch", then a possession of the Lords of Strehla, who served as "ministeriales" of the ruling House of Wettin. The present name first appeared in a 1350 bull issued by Pope Clement VI. With Lower Lusatia, Friedland passed under the suzerainty of the Bohemian Crown in 1367.
In 1518, the lordship was pawned to the Order of Saint John and turned Protestant in 1540. Under the rule of Lord Master Count Adam of Schwarzenberg, the fortifications were enlarged, nevertheless Friedland suffered severely under the impact of the Thirty Years' War. Upon the 1635 Peace of Prague, it passed with the Lusatias to the Electorate of Saxony. Under Master Prince John Maurice of Nassau-Siegen the lordship quickly recovered. Town privileges were confirmed in 1662, a Jewish community is documented since 1673.
After almost three-centuries rule of the Order of Saint John, Friedland was finally secularised to Saxony in 1811. Only four years later, the town passed to the Prussian province of Brandenburg upon the Final Act of the 1815 Vienna Congress.
Demography.
Friedland is the least densely populated town ("Stadt") in Germany, just narrowly beating Baruth/Mark (also in Brandenburg) for that distinction.
