Summary
DescriptionISS034-E-061717 Belgrade-lrg.jpg |
English: Located at the confluence of the Danube and Sava Rivers, Belgrade is the capital city of the Republic of Serbia. The Belgrade metropolitan area has a population of 1.65 million (2011 census), which ranks it as one of the largest cities in southeastern Europe. Human occupation of the Belgrade area can be traced back over 6,000 years, and a city that became Belgrade existed by at least 279 BC. Throughout recorded history, the city has had many rulers and has suffered through numerous battles, frequently being completely destroyed and rebuilt in the process. In recent history, it was the capital of the socialist state of Yugoslavia for most of the 20th century.
The core of old Belgrade—known as Kalemegdan—is located along the right banks of both the Danube and the Sava Rivers (image center). To the west across the Sava, Novi Beograd (New Belgrade) was constructed following World War II. The difference in urban patterns between the older parts of Belgrade and Novi Beograd is striking in this astronaut photograph from the International Space Station. Novi Beograd has an open grid structure formed by large developments and buildings such as the Palace of Serbia—a large federal building constructed during the Yugoslav period, now used to house elements of the Serbian government. By contrast, the older urban fabric of Belgrade is characterized by a denser street grid and numerous smaller structures. Other suburban and residential development (characterized by red rooftops) extends to the south, east, and across the Danube to the north. The location of Belgrade along trade and travel routes between the East and West contributed to both its historical success as a center of trade and its fate as a battleground. Today, the city is the financial center of Serbia, while Novi Beograd supports one of the largest business districts in southeastern Europe.Deutsch: An der Mündung der Save in die Donau gelegen, ist Belgrad die Hauptstadt der Republik Serbien. Das Metropolgebiet von Belgrad hat rund 1,65 Millionen Einwohner (Volkszählung 2011), und die Stadt ist somit eine der größten Städte in Südosteuropa. Die menschliche Besiedlung des Gebiets kann über 6000 Jahre zurückverfolgt werden, und die Stadt, die sich dann zu Belgrad entwickelte, bestand mindestens seit dem Jahr 279 v. Chr. Im Laufe der Geschichte hatte die Stadt zahlreiche Herren und litt in zahlreichen Schlachten, wurde mehrmals vollständig zerstört und wiederaufgebaut. Den größten Teil des 20. Jahrhunderts hindurch war Belgrad die Hauptstadt Jugoslawien.
Der Kern des alten Belgrads — Kalemegdan — liegt auf dem rechten Ufer von Dobau und Save (Bildmitte). Westlich auf dem anderen Ufer der Save liegt Novi Beograd, das nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg entstand. Der Unterschied im Straßenmuster zwischen Belgrad und Novi Beograd ist in diesem von Astronauten der Internationalen Raumstation angefertigten Photographie deutlich erkennbar. Novi Beograd hat die Struktur eines offenen Gitters aus großen Baukomplexen und großen Bauwerken wie etwa dem Palast von Serbien — ein großes Verwaltungsgebäude, das in der Jugoslawischen Periode entstannd und nun Einrichtungen der serbischen Regierung beherbergt, während im Gegensatz dazu die Struktur des alten Belgrads durch ein dichteres Straßennetz und eine Vielzahl von Gebäuden gekennzeichnet ist. Wohn- und Vorortbebauung (charakteristisch durch die roten Dächer) erstreckt sich nach Süden, Osten und auf der anderen Donauseite nach Norden. Die Lage Belgrads an Handels- und Reiserouten zwischen Osten und Westen trug bei zur Entwicklung zum historischen Handelszentrum als auch zum Schicksal als Schlachtfeld. In der Gegenwart ist die Stat das finanzielle Zentrum Serbiens, während Novi Beograd zu einem der größten Business Districts in Südosteuropa wurde.
