class=\"has-text-align-center\">The city is the third largest city in Alsace after Strasbourg and Mulhouse and also likes to call itself the capital of Alsace wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t<div

class=\"has-text-align-center\">Tourism is of course an important aspect of Colmar, but large international companies are also based here and Colmar has its own institutes at the University of Mulhouse-Colmar, so there are also study opportunities here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Colmar is home to an airport of regional importance, but is also not far from the international airports of Basel-Mulhouse and Strasbourg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">The city is also part of a partnership group of four cities, together with Lucca (Italy),

role=\"img\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\">In my opinion, Alsace occupies a special place in the center of Europe. Not only because of its culture, its wine and its food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">It also has a character all of its own, which I believe it has always retained to a certain extent despite the upheavals of history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">In the course of history since the partition after the death of Charlemagne in the 9th century, but especially in the Middle Ages, Alsace has repeatedly been the bone of contention between the French and Germans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">If one side won a war or negotiated a treaty, Alsace went to that side. If the flag of war flew in the direction of the other side, the sovereignty changed hands again. The whole thing only ended with the end of the Second World War.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">But with these possessions gained and lost again, settlers kept coming or people left their mark on the region, making it a mix of French and German influence and thus giving it its very own character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-6bf8d1ce alignfull uagb-is-root-container\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-a8f7c888\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">A little anecdote<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Leave the A5 in Germany and drive from Breisach over the Rhine bridges to Marckolsheim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">If you don&#8217;t know the two cities, you might think. Well, you just drive from one German town to the other. But that&#8217;s not the case &#8211; Marckolsheim is on the west side in France.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">In particular, the ending &#8220;Heim&#8221; for house appears again and again in the region. The next town has a French name and so on. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-e4438db5\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">The streets almost all have French names at the beginning, such as Rue or Boulevard. But there are many streets that use German words afterwards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">That comes from the names of the people. If you read through the list of the town&#8217;s most famous people, as in Colmar, you will find both classic German and French names. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Sometimes even this is connected, e.g. French first name, German surname.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">I am therefore always pleased that the French state has declared the region a European region and thus demonstrates and actively and officially supports the solidarity here in the center of Europe through cooperation and projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">That&#8217;s why Colmar, like the other areas of Alsace, represents for me not only a historical but also a current connection between the French and Germans and perhaps also offers a glimpse of the future vision of a united Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-9cbf5d53 alignfull uagb-is-root-container\"><div class=\"uagb-container-inner-blocks-wrap\">\n<div

style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">The statue was erected in 2004 to honor the 100th anniversary of the death of Auguste Bartholdi, the sculptor who designed the original Statue of Liberty in New York. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Bartholdi was born in Colmar in 1834, which is why the town has a close connection to his most famous work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">It is a tribute to Bartholdi&#8217;s significant contribution to art and, like the statue in New York, symbolizes freedom and enlightenment.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">That&#8217;s why I gave her the nickname <strong>&#8220;the sister of freedom&#8221;<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Interestingly, the replica in Colmar is made of plastic, in contrast to the copper of the original Statue of Liberty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--80)\">While the copy in Colmar is smaller, it remains an important landmark of the city and a reminder of Bartholdi&#8217;s artistic legacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">So if you fancy the Statue of Liberty, you can also find its little sister here in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container

So it sells crockery, small furniture and similar items. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Why I mention it specifically is because of the location and layout of the store in Colmar.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">The people there are very friendly and the store is really nicely decorated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">We bought plates and cups there, which we use all the time. You really get great quality at a fair price here. Also online, of course.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Highly recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Conserverie La Belle-Iloise<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">If you walk through the old town, you will also pass this store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-2cd0afad wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-none\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/florian-schreibt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Colmar-14-577x1024.webp ,https:\/\/florian-schreibt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Colmar-14-jpg.webp 780w, https:\/\/florian-schreibt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Colmar-14-jpg.webp 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 150px\" src=\"https:\/\/florian-schreibt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Colmar-14-577x1024.webp\" alt=\"Florians Reise \u2013 Mosaik \u2013 Colmar \u2013 Die besondere Verbindung bei der Schwester der Freiheit\" class=\"uag-image-1762\" width=\"900\" height=\"1598\" title=\"Colmar 14\" loading=\"lazy\" role=\"img\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\t\t\t<div \n\t\t\tclass=\"wp-block-uagb-google-map uagb-google-map__wrap uagb-block-4b43bf1d     \"\n\t\t\tstyle=\"\" >\n\t\t\t\t<embed\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"uagb-google-map__iframe\"\n\t\t\t\t\ttitle=\"Google Map for \"\n\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?q=conserverie%20la%20belle%20iloise%20colmar&#038;z=12&#038;hl=en&#038;t=m&#038;output=embed&#038;iwloc=near\"\n\t\t\t\t\twidth=\"640\"\n\t\t\t\t\theight=\"300\"\n\t\t\t\t\tloading=\"lazy\"\n\t\t\t\t><\/embed>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\">It doesn&#8217;t look that exciting at first, because the store contains canned goods.
