Hol

Hol is a municipality in Buskerud county, Norway.

Administrative history

The area of Hol was separated from the municipality of Ål in 1877 to become a separate municipality. In 1937 a part of neighboring Uvdal with 220 inhabitants was moved to Hol municipality. The area of Dagali was transferred from Uvdal to Hol in 1944. In 1962 Uvdal was reunited with Nore to form the new municipality of Nore og Uvdal.

General information

Name

The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Hol farm (Old Norse: Hóll), since the first church was built here. The name is identical with the word hóll, which means "round (and isolated) hill".

    Holíč (until 1946 "Holič", German: Weißkirchen (an der March) / Holitsch, Hungarian: Holics) is a town in western Slovakia.

    History

    The oldest archaeological findings are from the Neolithic, and there are findings from the Bronze Age, Iron Age and the Roman time. The town was first mentioned in 1205 as Wywar, meaning "New Castle". The Árpád dynasty built a stone castle after Mongol invasion in 1241. Holíč was in the 13th century until 1296 seat of a border comitatus. Among the owners of the town were Matthias Csák and Stibor of Stiborice. In the 15th century the town's development was slowed by the Hussite raids. In 1736 the town was bought by Franz I, Holy Roman Emperor, husband of Maria Theresa and manufactures were built, leading to the town's growth. Maria Theresa also rebuilt the Holíč Castle from a fortress into a summer château of the Habsburgs. Holíč's once thriving Jewish community was completely decimated by the Holocaust.

    Hol

    by: Ab4

    Atit de simbata e astazi cit de departe este luni
    Incerci din nou sa dilati clipa
    Sa poti sa fii si sa ramii
    Si focul care ploua
    Secunda care cade
    Mirosul orei arse
    Realul ne desparte
    S-ai o moaca de surprins
    Chiar si-asa cind stai intins
    In hol, in hol
    In hol cu capul gol
    In hol, in hol
    In hol cu capul gol
    In hol, in hol
    In hol cu capul gol
    Esti atit de plin de tine
    Si atit de plin de gol
    Incit nu mai stii de tine
    Nu mai stii decit sa zbori
    Si lumea ta e trista
    Cuvintul tau e mut
    Si fugi iarasi de tine
    Imaginar drept scut
    Si-ai o moaca de surprins
