Nagoya Castle was built in 1612 during the Edo Period in Japan. It was the main castle in the middle of one of the most important castle towns in Japan. It linked two of the important Edo Five Routes - five centrally administered routes that connected to Edo with the outer provinces during the Edo Period. In 1945 the castle was destroyed during the bombing of Nagoya near the end of World War II. Reconstruction and repair of the castle has been ongoing since 1957.
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.
