I live in the small town of "Buxtehude" in the northern part of Germany about 22 km south-west of Hamburg.
Koordinates: N53° 28.580 E009° 42.018
Population: ~ 40.000
Buxtehude was established in 959 A.D. so it is over 1000 years old.
It is situated in an area called "Altes Land" (old land) where you will find all kinds of fruit plantation (mostly apple and cherry trees).

Buxtehude is also known for its fairy tale of the race between the hare and the hedgehog (similiar to the race between the tortoise and the hare).
That is why you find those symbols everywhere in our town.

Just 12 km away from us the Airbus A380 gets its final assembly and is delivered to the clients. They fly over our house quite often.
