Beautiful Kaunas, Lithuania, Europe.
Kaunas (/ˈkaʊnəs/; Lithuanian: [ˈkɐʊˑnɐs] (About this sound listen); also see other names) is the second-largest city in Lithuania and the historical centre of Lithuanian economic, academic, and cultural life. Kaunas was the biggest city and the centre of a county in Trakai Municipality of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania since 1413. In the Russian Empire, it was the capital of the Kaunas Governorate from 1843 to 1915.
During the interwar period, it served as the temporary capital of Lithuania, when Vilnius, the traditional capital, was considered part of Poland between 1920 and 1939.
The city is the capital of Kaunas County, and the seat of the Kaunas city municipality and the Kaunas District Municipality. It is also the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Kaunas. Kaunas is located at the confluence of the two largest Lithuanian rivers, the Nemunas and the Neris, and is near the Kaunas Reservoir, the largest body of water entirely in Lithuania.

The city's name is of Lithuanian origins and most likely derives from a personal name.
Before Lithuania regained independence, the city was generally known in English as Kovno, the traditional Slavicized form of its name; the Polish name is Kowno; the Belarusian name is Koўна, Kowna. An earlier Russian name was Ковно Kovno, although Каунас Kaunas has been used since 1940. The Yiddish name is קאָװנע Kovne, and the names in German include Kaunas and Kauen. The city and its elderates also have names in other languages
An old legend claims that Kaunas was established by the Romans in ancient times. These Romans were supposedly led by a patrician named Palemon, who had three sons: Barcus, Kunas and Sperus.
On 30 June 1993, the historical coat of arms of Kaunas city was re-established by a special presidential decree.
Kaunas also has a greater coat of arms, which is mainly used for purposes of Kaunas city representation.
A settlement had been established on the site of the current Kaunas old town, at the confluence of two large rivers, at least by the 10th century AD.
In 1665, the Russian army attacked the city several times, and in 1701 the city was occupied by the Swedish Army. The Black Death struck the area in 1657 and 1708, killing many residents. Fires destroyed parts of the city in 1731 and 1732.
After the final partition of the Polish–Lithuanian state in 1795, the city was taken over by the Russian Empire and became a part of Vilna Governorate. During the French invasion of Russia in 1812, the Grand Army of Napoleon passed through Kaunas twice, devastating the city both times. A hill fort mound in Kaunas is named Napoleon's Hill.
After Vilnius was occupied by the Russian Bolsheviks in 1919, the Government of the Republic of Lithuania established its main base in Kaunas. Later, when the capital of Vilnius was annexed by Poland, Kaunas became the temporary capital of Lithuania, a position it held until 28 October 1939, when the Red Army handed Vilnius to Lithuania. The Constituent Assembly of Lithuania first met in Kaunas on 15 May 1920. It passed some important laws, particularly on land reform, on the national currency, and adopted a new constitution. The military coup d'état took place in Kaunas on 17 December 1926.
The city also was a particularly important center for the Lithuanian Armed Forces. In January 1919 during the Lithuanian Wars of Independence, War School of Kaunas was established and started to prepare soldiers who were soon sent to the front to strengthen the fighting Lithuanian Army.
In June 1940, the Soviet Union occupied and annexed Lithuania in accordance with the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact. Vladimir Dekanozov, a Soviet emissary from Moscow, gained real power in Lithuania. Shortly, on June 17, 1940 the puppetry People's Government of Lithuania was formed, which consistently destroyed Lithuanian society, political institutions and opened the way for the Communist Party to establish itself.
Beginning in 1944, the Red Army began offensives that eventually reoccupied all three of the Baltic states. Kaunas again became the major centre of resistance against the Soviet regime.
On 14 May 1972, 19-year-old Romas Kalanta, having exclaimed Freedom for Lithuania!, immolated himself in the garden of the Musical Theatre, after making a speech denouncing the Soviet suppression of national and religious rights.
After World War II Kaunas became the main industrial city of Lithuania – it produced about a quarter of Lithuania's industrial output.
After the proclamation of Lithuanian independence in 1990, Soviet attempts to suppress the rebellion focused on the Sitkūnai Radio Station. They were defended by the citizenry of Kaunas. Pope John Paul II made the Holy Mass for the faithful of the Archdiocese of Kaunas at the Kaunas Cathedral Basilica.

KAUNAS - Zusammenfluß von Memel & Neris in Litauen
KAUNAS - Zusammenfluß von den beiden Flüssen Memel & Neris im Westen von Kaunas, der zweitgrößten Stadt in Litauen und Kulturhauptstadt Europas 2022.
Der Ort, an dem zwei Flüsse zusammenfließen, ist immer ein spannender Platz, meist verbunden mit historischen bzw. geschichtlichen Bauwerken oder Ereignissen.
So auch in Kaunas. Hier fließen der 937km lange Fluß Memel (litauisch Nemunas, weißrussisch Нёман (Njoman), russisch Неман (Neman), polnisch Niemen) und die 530km lange Neris (litauisch Neris, polnisch Wilia, weißrussisch Вілія, Wilija) zusammen. Nach der Vereinigung beider Flüsse fließt die Memel weiter und mündet in die Ostsee.
Dass die Altstadt von Kaunas nicht weit entfernt von dem Zusammenfluss von Memel und Neris liegt, ist natürlich kein Zufall. Und nur wenige hundert Meter entfernt am Ufer der Neris befinden sich die Ruinen der Burg von Kaunas, erbaut in der Mitte des 14. Jahrhunderts.
Und das beste daran ist, dass du in Kaunas die Altstadt, die Burgruine und den Bereich, an dem Memel und Neris zusammenfließen, ohne Probleme zu Fuß erreichen und erkunden kannst.
Einfach von der Altstadt Richtung Westen zum Rathausplatz gehen. Von dort bist du in wenigen Minuten im Santakos Park. An den Park grenzen die beiden Flüsse und hier befindet sich auch die Burg von Kaunas und wenige Meter entfert von der Burg die römisch-katholische Kirche St. George des Märtyrers.
Wenn Du im Santakos Parkl angekommen bist, dann kannst du den Zusammenfluss von Memel und Neris nicht mehr verfehlen. Nach ein paar Minuten zu Fuß hast du den Ort erreicht.
Kaunas ist mit rund 300.000 Einwohnern die zweitgrößte Stadt Litauens. Kaunas liegt ca. 100km westlich der Hauptstadt Vilnius. Kaunas liegt am Zusammenfluss von Memel und Neris.
Die Altstadt Kaunas (lit. senamiestis) beherbergt viele gut erhaltene alte Bauwerke. Am Hauptplatz, dem historischen Rathausplatz, liegen die Peter-und-Paul-Kathedrale, die Jesuitenkirche und das historische Rathaus.
Kaunas wird 2022, gemeinsam mit dem luxemburgischen Esch an der Alzette, Kulturhauptstadt Europas sein.

Nemunas and the Neris rivers are from the second and first millennium BC. This is an indication
of the antiquty of the Lithuanians who settled here three to four thousand years ago. Yet,
as the people, Kaunas is as modern as it is old.
