Skien

Skien ligger i Grenlandsområdet i Norge. Det er både en by og en kommune. Den deler også byområdet med Porsgrunn. Dette byområdet er den 7. største byen i Norge med en befolkning på over 85,000. Skien kommune ble etablert som kommune i 1838 og ble slått sammen med Gjerpen og Solum i 1964. Skien er hovedsete for hele administrasjonen i Telemark fylke.

Skien var en viktig havn for treindustrien før i tiden. En stor papirfabrikk ble lagt ned i 2006, som banet vei for et ingeniørfirma som største arbeidsgiver i regionen.

Forskere trodde inntil ganske nylig at Skien ble grunnlagt på 1400-tallet. Imidlertid har arkeologiske funn avdekket at det var mer sannsynlig at Skien ble stiftet før 1000 år f.k. og ble bosatt på 1100-tallet. Skien var opprinnelig en møteplass for bønder og handelsmenn og var en sentral havn for brynestein. Gjerpen kirke er den eldste bygningen i Skien og ble reist på 1150-tallet. De partiariske familiene begynte å dominere Skien på 1600-tallet.

Skien ble tilknyttet jernbanen i Norge i 1882 som ble utvidet til Notodden i 1919, og det går fremdeles daglige togruter her.

Byens våpenskjold ble offentliggjort på 1980-tallet. Det er identisk til det våpenskjoldet som ble brukt i 1609 og viser et par ski krysset i midten og en stjerne som holder dem sammen.Smørblomsten finnes på hver side av skjoldet. Det sies at navnet på byen kom fra en bekk med samme navn.

Skien

Skien is an area of Norway located in the region of Grenland. It is both a city and a municipality. It also forms a conurbation with Porsgrunn. This conurbation is the seventh largest city in Norway, with a population of over eighty-five thousand. Skien was established as a municipality in 1838 and merged with Gjerpen and Solum in 1964. Skien is the administrative center of Telemark County.

Skien used to be an important port for the timber industry. A large paper mill in Skien closed down in 2006, leaving an engineering firm as the biggest employer in the region.

Researchers believed until fairly recently that Skien was founded in the 1400s. However, archaeological findings have revealed that it was more likely founded prior to 1000 AD and settled in the eleventh century. Skien was originally a meeting place for farmers and traders and a shipping port for whetstones. Gjerpen Church is the oldest building in Skien, having been built in the 1150s. Patrician families began to dominate Skien in the 1600s.

Skien joined the Norwegian railway network in 1882 and expanded to Notodden in 1919. Regular train service still operates on the railways there.

The city's current coat of arms was adopted in the 1980s. Identical to the original coat of arms from 1609, it displays two skis with a cross in the middle and a star on the cross-point. Buttercups are located on either side. The town is believed to be named after a brook with the same name.
