-----------------------
FYI
Wilhelm II or William II (German: Friedrich Wilhelm Viktor Albrecht von Preußen; Frederick William Victor Albert of Prussia; 27 January 1859 – 4 June 1941) was the last German Emperor (Kaiser) and King of Prussia, ruling the German Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia from 15 June 1888 to 9 November 1918. He was the eldest grandson of the British Queen Victoria and related to many monarchs and princes of Europe.
Crowned in 1888, he dismissed the Chancellor, Otto von Bismarck, in 1890 and launched Germany on a bellicose "New Course" in foreign affairs that culminated in his support for Austria-Hungary in the crisis of July 1914 that led in a matter of days to the First World War. Bombastic and impetuous, he sometimes made tactless pronouncements on sensitive topics without consulting his ministers, culminating in a disastrous Daily Telegraph interview that cost him most of his power in 1908. His top generals, Paul von Hindenburg and Erich Ludendorff, dictated policy during the First World War with little regard for the civilian government. An ineffective war leader, he lost the support of the army, abdicated in November 1918, and fled to exile in the Netherlands.

Blankenese is a suburban quarter in the borough of Altona in the western part of Hamburg, Germany; until 1938 it was an independent municipality in Holstein. It is located on the right bank of the Elbe river. With a population of 13,407 as of 2016, today it is widely known as one of Hamburg's most affluent neighborhoods.
History
Blankenese has a long history as a fishing village along the Elbe River.
In 1060, Archbishop Adalbert of Bremen built a provost's residence at the site of an older settlement at the hill Süllberg. Later the counts of Holstein built a castle. Both were destroyed through Hamburg.
Until 1927 Blankenese was an independent town in Holstein and then it was merged into the town Altona by law. In 1938 Altona was merged into Hamburg with the Greater Hamburg Act.
During World War II, the suburb held a Luftwaffe Officer Cadet camp, which became HQ 85 Group Signals for the Royal Air Force in 1945.
Origin of the name
Blankenese comes from the Low German blank ness, meaning white promontory in the Elbe river.
Infrastructure
A local office of the main district office Altona called Customer Centre Blankenese is located at Erik Blumenfeld Platz. The local quarter court Amtsgericht Hamburg-Blankenese is located at Dormienstrasse.
The Honorary Consulate of the Kingdom of Morocco (Al Mamlakah al Maghribiyah) established in Hamburg in 1960 is located on the street In de Bargen.
Commerce
Blankeneser Landstrasse and Blankenese Bahnhofstrasse form the main intersection of commercial activities in Bankenese. While the shops, banks and post office are open normal business hours from Monday through Saturday, the popular public farmer's market is only available on Tuesday, Friday & Saturday.
Health systems
The hospital Tabea GmbH, located at Kosterbergstrasse, has 32 beds and specializes on hip and knee surgery and varicose vein surgery.
Transportation
Blankenese station
Blankenese is serviced by the rapid transit system of the S-Bahn with the Blankenese station and several buses of the public transport organisation. According to the Department of Motor Vehicles (Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt), there were 6,333 private cars registered (486 cars/1000 people).[9] In summer 2008, the main train station in Blankenese has been completely rebuilt.
Blankenese's waterfront is serviced many times a day by various water shuttles. There are many buoys in the river to help guide all sizes of watercraft, since this part of the river has many shoals and is subject to the tides.
Lighthouse
There are two lighthouses, the Blankenese Low Lighthouse, with a height of 42m and 3 Platform decks for visitors at Strandweg, and 40m high Blankenese High Lighthouse at Bauerspark. Both form a line together to Elbe River for incoming ships.
