Two Truths and a Lie

Blankenese, Germany

Two of these are true. One we made up. Tap the lie.

1. 1

   Blankenese's name comes from Low German "blank ness", meaning 'white promontory' on the Elbe.

2. 2

   Blankenese was once ruled by Danish kings, then briefly by Austria, then by Prussia, before joining Hamburg.

3. 3

   Blankenese's Treppenviertel has a rule that residents must carry groceries up all 4,864 steps by hand, with no wheelbarrows.
