Landau or Landau in der Pfalz (pop. 41,821) is an autonomous (kreisfrei) town surrounded by the Südliche Weinstraße ("Southern Wine Route") district of southern Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It is a university town (since 1990), a long-standing cultural centre, and a market and shopping town, surrounded by vineyards and wine-growing villages of the Palatinate wine region. Landau lies east of the Palatinate forest, Europe's largest contiguous forest, on the German Wine Route.
It contains the districts (Stadtteile) of Arzheim, Dammheim, Godramstein, Mörlheim, Mörzheim, Nussdorf, Queichheim, and Wollmesheim.
Landau was first mentioned as a settlement in 1106. It was in the possession of the counts of Leiningen-Dagsburg-Landeck, whose arms, differenced by an escutcheon of the Imperial eagle, served as the arms of Landau until 1955 . The town was granted a charter in 1274 by Rudolf I of Habsburg, King of Germany, who declared the town a Free Imperial Town in 1291; nevertheless the bishop of Speyer, a major landowner in the district, seized the town in 1324. The town did not regain its ancient rights until 1511 from Maximilian I. An Augustinian monastery was founded in 1276.
Landau is a city in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.
Landau may also refer to:
Landau, when used in referencing an automobile, generally means a simulated convertible.
Landau is originally a coachbuilding term for a type of carriage; see Landau (carriage). Many coachbuilding terms transferred over to automobile usage, since coachbuilders began making motor car bodies instead, and because customers were familiar with coachbuilding terms.
The landau, however, was not a style that transferred well to the automobile. A forward view was generally insisted upon by passengers, so the half-landau (landaulet) style became a more popular choice than the true landau. The landaulet opens over the rear seats, but not the front. Some of these vehicles were inaccurately described as "landaus" while some models with landau bars were falsely conveying the impression that it was a convertible coupe.
The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE International) defined the landau closed-type body with provision for opening or folding the rear quarter, by use of landau joints which precludes the use of quarter glass. In the 1920s and 1930s, especially in the United States, "landau" became associated with a simulated convertible, in which a fixed roof of a sedan with solid rear quarters was covered with fabric or leather and fitted with S-shaped side landau bars to make it appear like a convertible top. This became the commonly accepted definition of "landau" in North American marketing usage.
SS.. escucha
Estas son las voces de especies
En estado de extinción
Pelea por ellos y por ti
Haz de este día
Tu día de la independencia
Vistes tan estrafalario
Porque no arreglas tu cuarto
No me gustan los tatuajes
Del fulano con quien sales
Ese arete en el ombligo
Esa clase de amiguitos
Cuidado y andas en drogras
Seria nuestra deshonra
Que equivocados se encuentran
No soy como ellos piensan
Es el hombre con sus reglas
Mientras mata a las ballenas
Mientras en todo el planeta
Hace la guerra
Pero un día estaré harta
me van a crecer las alas
Y me iré por la ventana o por la puerta y será
Será, será, será, será, será
Mi día de la independencia
Será, será, será, será, será
Mi día de la independencia.
Más te vale que me digas
Si eres virgen todavía
No te lo perdonaría
Lo que dirían tus tías
Tu no tienes voz ni voto
Hasta que cumplas dieciocho
Y te callas y obedeces
Porque así me lo parece
Que equivocados se encuentran
