Adler (Russian: А́длер{{#invoke:Namespace detect|main}}) is a Russian resort at the Black Sea coast. Once it was a town, but now is the main settlement of Adlersky City District, Sochi, Krasnodar Krai. It is a major railway station of the North Caucasus railway and the terminus since Georgian-Abkhazian conflict broke the railway. Adler stays in the mouth of Mzymta.
History [link]
The modern settlement was found by Russians in 1837 as Svyatoy Dukh fortress.
However, this area was inhabited long before the Russian arrival. Since the ancient times a Sadz Abkhazian village, named Liesh, was placed there. In the 12th century Genoese found a factory, known as Layso in the area. That time this lands belonged to Sadz princes Aredba, who had a good station there. Turks call this place Artlar or Artı. Russians mispronounced it as Adler (German: Adler{{#invoke:Namespace detect|main}} means eagle). However, another theory postulate, that the name comes from brig Adler.
Landmarks [link]
There are Russian Orthodox Trinity and the Holy Spirit churches, Armenian Saint Sarkis Cathedral.
There are Adlersky District History Museum and The South Cultures park there.
Adler is one of the most popular Russian resorts. It has pebbly and narrow beach, backed by railway in some places.

Adler
Adler is a surname of German origin meaning eagle, and has a frequency in the United Kingdom of less than 0.004%, and of 0.008% in the United States. In Christian iconography, the eagle is the symbol of John the Evangelist, and as such a stylized eagle was commonly used as a house sign/totem in German speaking areas. From the tenement the term easily moved to its inhabitants, particularly to those having only one name. This phenomenon can be easily seen in German and Austrian censuses from the 16th and 17th centuries. The term might have been assigned also as a name descriptive of character or outward characteristics.
Die Adler (the eagles) also is a nickname for the Germany national football team.

An American tour was initiated early in 2013, with a European tour scheduled for the fall of that year. However, Steven Adler entered rehabilitation in May 2013, putting the tour on hold.During an interview, Jacob Bunton said that their producer Jeff Pilson "is like a 5th member of the band, he's brought out so much and help channel the songs", and "he brings so much to the table as a producer, a member and a bassist, he has the same passion that he has been performing into the studio". Steven Adler has said "My goal is to take this band into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 25 years, I want to be a part of a team, like the Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, or Rush. These guys are buddies and love making music together, it's cool to be part of a gang".
Adler (automobile)
Adler was a German automobile and motorcycle manufacturer from 1900 until 1957. Adler is German for eagle.
History
The Adler factory produced bicycles, typewriters, and motorcycles in addition to cars. Before World War I, the company used De Dion two- and four-cylinder engines in cars that ranged from 1032 cc to 9081 cc; beginning in 1902 (the year Edmund Rumpler became technical director), they used their own engines as well. These cars, driven by Erwin Kleyer and Otto Kleyer (sons of the company founder Heinrich Kleyer) and by Alfred Theves won many sporting events. In the 1920s, Karl Irion raced many Adlers; popular models of the period included the 2298 cc, 1550 cc, and 4700 cc four-cylinders and the 2580 cc six-cylinders. A few of the Standard models, built between 1927 and 1934, featured Gropius designed coachwork. The Adler Standard 6, which entered volume production in 1927, had a 2540 cc or 2916 cc six-cylinder engine, while the Adler Standard 8 which appeared a year later use a 3887 cc eight-cylinder engine. The Standard 6, first seen in public at the Berlin Motor Show in October 1926 was the first Continental European car to use hydraulic brakes (the Triumph 13/35 offered them in the UK in 1924 and Duesenberg offered them in the US in 1921), when it was fitted with an ATE-Lockheed system. 1927 to 1929 Clärenore Stinnes was the first to circumnavigate the world by car, in an Adler Standard 6.
