Germany                        Bitterfeld                   26 June 2024


   Bitterfeld is a district in the town of Bitterfeld-Wolfen, where I
   currently live.  Like Wolfen, Bitterfeld was an independent town
   until 1st July 2007.  The first documented mention of Bitterfeld
   dates back to 1224, and therefore, this year, the town is celebrating
   its 800th anniversary.  Starting tomorrow and running through to
   Sunday, various festive events will be held in the town to mark this
   memorable date.

   Although I now live in Wolfen, I have one very important memory
   associated with Bitterfeld: it was to this town that I arrived on an
   ICE high-speed train from Berlin the day after my birthday.  It
   turned out to be a birthday present just the way I like it - a fast
   train and a beautiful town.  However, I must admit, in January,
   Bitterfeld looked quite gloomy, especially considering the fact that
   no matter where you looked, the streets were empty.
