Ikast is a town of just under 16 000 people found in the middle of Jutland. It wasn't much more than a few buildings until in the mid-eighteenth century when industrialization began. It became a main town for textiles. A railway line in the 1850s also led to an increase in the population. The town began to grow around the railway station.
Mölln is a small city of about 20 000 located in northern Germany. The Elbe-Lübeck Canal flows through the town, and there are eight small lakes that surround the city. It was founded in the 12th century and was a part of the Old Salt Route. Salt that was produced in the salt mines of Lower-Saxony was shipped to the Baltic Sea. Till Eulenspiegel, a legendary trickster known for exposing vices and provoking thought, is said to have lived in Mölln the last year of his life. He apparently died of the plague in 1350, but his existence has never been proven. Mölln has several monuments dedicated to him.
