Solar System, Planet Earth, Coordinates: 55°42′N 21°08′E / 55.7°N 21.133°E. This is Klaipéda! Trees, ships, waters, lawns and everywhere a place to sit down and relax. Klaipéda is Luthuania's only port and the northernmost ice free harbor, at the East coast of the Baltic Sea. The image shows a sail ship on river Danes (German: Dange). In the foreground, a monument of a Pagan Lithuanian hero. Among the Europeans, the Balts at the longest were able to resist (criminality of) Christianity.

The city is more than 750 years old.

Klaipéda port, the Curonian Lagoon, Curonian Spit and at the horizon: the Balic Sea

Landmarks of Kleipéda: Image above: the fountain figure of Anniken of Tharau with the theater
in the background. In summer, one daily can see German tourist groups at the brim of the fountain singing heart-breaking songs. Picture below: Stock Exchange Bridge (Boersenbruecke, Tiltu Birzos) - downtown.

The banks of river Danes - at the horizon, the woods of the Curonian Spit.

River Danes flowing into the Curonian Lagoon. The ferry habor for crossing the Curonian Lagoon.

Downtown Klaipéda, seen from the banks of river Danes to the North - In the foreground (behind the lady) a monument concerning the unity of Lithuania, in the background a building from the times of Soviet occupation, today more or less regarded as a blot in the landscape. Today the building also hosts Klaipéda Musik Theatre.

When the Soviets occupied Klaipéda, afar,
The hometown seemed to be on another star!
Now, the Soviets have gone,
Again, freedom has won!
(Hans Atrott, June 2011)

German Translation:

Als die Sowjets okkupierten Memel in der Ferne,

Da erschien die Heimat wie auf einem anderen Sterne!

Doch nun ist dieser Spuk vorbei,

Und Memel endlich wieder frei!

(Hans Atrott, June 2011)

Thurgaus Gatve (Market Street, German: Marktstrasse)

The houses to the left downtown belonged to my family (click here for the information of the inquiry office). After Soviet occupation Evangelic Church pilfered them, again by lies and deceit, very typical of Christian. Conspicuously, after I mentioned this new theft of the Christians and summoned Evangelic Church of Klaipéda and Lithuania to return the thievery to the owner, the street names of the houses, which lasted for centuries, became changed (from Baznyciu gatve 3 and 5) into Vezèju gatve 2, (the big one) and Vezèju gatve 11 (the timber frame house). Gatve means street. The place where I started my life is just a five minutes walk from Thurgaus Gatve (Klaipéda Tourist Office) ... One can assume that in about 2000 years, the Christian criminals (cant of perfidy: "martyrs of the truths") will "deplore" this offense of property among the innumerable crimes of theirs and will ask for "foregivness". Then, the Christian rogues (with frocks and without frocks) do not need to give back what they stole and the robbed cannot utter rejection to the dastards' & bastards' perfidy of "asking for foregivness"... Therefore, the shrewd "repentance" of this sort of perfidious bastards takes such long a time...
