Hamelin

Hamelin is a town on the stream Weser in Lower Saxony, Germany. It is the capital of the region of Hamelin-Pyrmont and has a populace of approximately 56,000. Hamelin is best known for the story of the Pied Piper of Hamelin. Hamelin began with a cloister, which was established as ahead of schedule as 851 AD. A town developed in the area and had turned into a town by the twelfth century. The occurrence with the "Pied Piper" is said to have occurred in 1284 and might be founded on a genuine occasion, albeit fairly not quite the same as the story. In the 15^th and 16^th centuries Hamelin was a minor individual from the Hanseatic League.

Amid the Second World War, Hamelin jail was utilized for the detainment of Social Democrats, Communists, and other political detainees. Soon after the war, Hamelin jail was utilized by British Occupation Forces for the detainment of Germans blamed for war crimes. The jail has since been transformed into a lodging. Executed war hoodlums were entombed in the jail yard until it turned out to be full; further internments occurred at the Am Wehl Cemetery in Hameln. In March 1954, the German experts started uncovering the 91 bodies from the jail yard; they were reburied in individual graves in sanctified ground in Am Wehl Cemetery.
