weir of the river Mulde in the small town of Amerika near Penig
Germany

Heinrich Börner gave the place the name "Amerika" ​​because, since the foundation stone was laid, 

his factory premises, including facilities and outbuildings, could only be reached by 

crossing the Mulde River - initially over a few large stones, later by means of a barge. 

So you were pulled "across the pond" - this expression was already known for the trip to the 

United States of America and so the term "AmeriKa on the Mulde" became common for the 

factory and the surrounding area. 

Pedestrians can now cross the Mulde near "Amerika" via a bridge.

More About Germany

Germany? Before the beginning there was Ginnungagap, an empty space of nothingness, filled with pure creative power. (Sort of like the inside of my head.)And it ends with Ragnarok, the twilight of the Gods. In between is much fighting, betrayal and romance. Just as a good Godly story should be.Heroes have their own graveyard called Valhalla. Unfortunately we cannot show you a panorama of it at this time, nor of the lovely Valkyries who are its escort service.Hail Odin, wandering God wielding wisdom and wand! Hail Freya, hail Tyr, hail Thor!Odin made the many lakes and the fish in them. In his traverses across the lands he caused there to be the Mulheim Bridge in Cologne, as did he make the Mercury fountain, Mercury being of his nature.But it is to the mighty Thor that the Hammering Man gives service.Between the time of the Nordic old ones and that of modern Frankfort there may have been a T.Rex or two on the scene. At least some mastodons for sure came through for lunch, then fell into tar pits to become fossils for us to find.And there we must leave you, O my most pure and holy children.Text by Steve Smith.
