While the settlement today referred to as Hedeby / Haithabu lies on the south side of the Schlei inlet, the settlement that grew up at around the same time on the north side has had a continuous history of habitation to modern times, and has now grown into the town known as Schleswig and given its name to the surrounding province.

There on the narrowest part of southern Jutland was established the important transit market ( Haithabu, also known as Hedeby, near modern Haddeby ), which was protected by the Danevirke fortification.

Hedeby (, Old Norse Heiðabýr, German Haithabu ) was an important trading settlement in the Danish-northern German borderland during the Viking Age.

Written history in the area began about 800 AD, when the Danish Viking settlement of Haithabu was founded.

The Haithabu Museum was opened next to the site in 1985.

The only Hrörek described in Western chronicles was Rorik of Dorestad, a konung from the royal Scylding house of Haithabu.

Roerik of Dorestad was born about 810 / 820 to Ali Anulo, 9th King of Haithabu.

This was not enough for him, and he started to plunder neighbouring lands: he took Dorestad in 850, captured Haithabu in 857 and looted Bremen in 859.

"" For East Prussia, Truso played the same role as Haithabu ( Slesvig ) or Hedeby for north-western Germany or Slavic Vineta for Pomerania ", Gimbutas has observed.

East-west trade route went from Truso and Wiskiauten ( a rival centre in Prussia which sprang up at the south-western corner of the Courish Lagoon ), along the Baltic Sea to Jutland, and from there up the Slien inlet to Haithabu / Hedeby, a large trading center in Jutland.

Reric was set up around the year 700, but following later warfare between Obodrites and Danes, the merchants were resettled to Haithabu.

Wulfstan of Hedeby ( Latin Haithabu ) was a late ninth century traveller and trader.

Later the neighbouring city of Schleswig took the place of Haithabu and became a powerful town in the 11th century.

Taking into account both archeological findings and Roman sources, however, one could conclude that the Jutes inhabited both the Kongeå region and the more northern part of the peninsula, while the Angles lived approximately where the towns Haithabu and Schleswig later would emerge ( originally centered in the southeast of Schleswig in Angeln ), the Saxons ( earlier known apparently as the Reudingi ) originally centered in Western Holstein ( known historically as " Northalbingia ") and Slavic Wagrians, part of the Obodrites ( Abodrites ) in Eastern Holstein.

* in particular the tax and customs revenues from the market in Haithabu, where all trade between the Baltic Sea and Western Europe passed.

The wealth of Schleswig, as reflected by impressive archeological finds on the site today, and the taxes from the Haithabu market, was enticing.

A separate kingdom of Haithabu was established around year 900 by the Viking chieftain Olaf from Svealand.

Later Haithabu was burned by Swedes, and first under the reign of King Sweyn Forkbeard ( Svend Tveskæg ) ( 986-1014 ) the situation was stabilised, although raids against Haithabu would be repeated.

Haithabu was once again and ultimately destroyed by fire in 1066.

Neither is primary experience understood according to the attitude of modern empiricism in which nothing is thought to be received other than signals of sensory qualities producing their responses in the appropriate sense organs.

Shakespeare's Shylock, too, is of dubious value in the modern world.

But a modern Oedipus who is doomed because he cannot oppose his own childhood is only pathetic, and for renouncing the mystery in favor of psychological truth he gives up the claim on our sympathies.

A characteristic expression of such concern and inquiry is found in Joseph P. Lyford's Introduction To The Agreeable Autocracies, a recent paperback study of the institutions of modern democratic society.

The men who speculate on these institutions have, for the most part, come to at least one common conclusion: that many of the great enterprises and associations around which our democracy is formed are in themselves autocratic in nature, and possessed of power which can be used to frustrate the citizen who is trying to assert his individuality in the modern world ''.

As Sandburg said at the time: `` It is as ancient as the medieval European ballads brought to the Appalachian Mountains, it is as modern as skyscrapers, the Volstead Act, and the latest oil well gusher ''.

The Chicago contingent of modern critics follow Aristotle so far in this direction that it is hard to see how they can compare one poem with another for the purpose of evaluation.

Diplomatic is another area for which the dawn of the twentieth century marks the beginning of modern standards of scholarship.

This is certainly an irrational dogmatism, in which the modern mind attempts to understand the spirit of the sixteenth century on twentieth-century terms.

Rexroth is a longtime jazz buff, a name-dropper of jazz heroes, and a student of traditional as well as modern jazz.

In addition to his experiments in reading poetry to jazz, Patchen is beginning to use the figure of the modern jazz musician as a myth hero in the same way he used the figure of the private detective a decade ago.

This angry and exasperated stance which Patchen has maintained in his poetry for almost fifteen years has been successfully modulated into a kind of woe that is as effective as anger and still expresses his disapproval of the modern world.

But the firm has recognized the tight dollar and the tourist's desire to visit the `` smaller, less-traveled and relatively inexpensive countries '', and is now prepared to teach modern Greek and Portuguese through recordings.

Perhaps there is more truth than we are wont to admit in the conviction of that ornament of Tarheelia, Robert Ruark's grandfather, who was persuaded that the great curse of the modern world is `` all this gallivantin' ''.

The possibility of recall into the Army is part of the price that a modern American has to pay for the enviable heritage of liberty which he enjoys.

Since attack serves to stimulate interest in broadcasts, I added to my opening statement a sentence in which I claimed that German youth seemed to lack the enthusiasm which is a necessary ingredient of anger, and might be classified as uninterested and bored rather than angry.

Remembering the step-by-step fate of Danzig and the West German misgivings about `` salami '' tactics, it is to be hoped that the dispatch of General Clay to West Berlin as President Kennedy's representative will mark a stiffening of response not only to future indignities and aggressions but also to some that have passed.

The truth is that Communist Russia fears the resurgence of German militarism.

The weekly loss is partly counterbalanced by 500 arrivals each week from West Germany, but the hard truth, says Crossman, is that `` The closing off of East Berlin without interference from the West and with the use only of East German, as distinct from Russian, troops was a major Communist victory, which dealt West Berlin a deadly, possibly a fatal, blow.

This leader must be a man who lives above illusions that heretofore have shaped the foreign policy of the United States, namely that Russia will agree to a reunited Germany, that the East German government does not exist, that events in Japan in June 1960 were Communist-inspired, that the true government of China is in Formosa, that Mao was the evil influence behind Khrushchev at the Summit Conference in Paris in May 1960, and that either China or Russia wants or expects war.

As German is a pluricentric language, Austrian German is merely one among several varieties of Standard German.

With German being a pluricentric language, Austrian dialects should not be confused with the variety of Standard German spoken by most Austrians, which is distinct from that of Germany or Switzerland.

Distinctions in vocabulary persist, for example, in culinary terms, where communication with Germans is frequently difficult, and administrative and legal language, which is due to Austria's exclusion from the development of a German nation-state in the late 19th century and its manifold particular traditions.

As a result, Standard German is replacing it in government and administrative texts.
