Germany Glocksee

A Guelph feudal register from 1360 mentions a pasture called “dat Klocse.” Even back then, it was located in the floodplain of the Leine and Ihme rivers. The meadows were regularly flooded. Occasionally, a soft gurgling sound could be heard there. In the medieval dialect, this sound was called “klucken”; the area where it occurred was known as the “Klocke.” Over time, this evolved into the name Glocksee.

In many parts of Hanover, you see tram poles and overhead wires in your view—you just have to live with it
