Anklam

Anklam is a small town in northeastern Mecklenburg Vorpommern.

Understand
Anklam's main claim to fame is that it is the birthplace of aviation pioneer Otto Lilienthal who made groundbreaking discoveries regarding gliders before dying in a stall-related accident in Berlin, reportedly uttering the words "Opfer müssen gebracht werden" ("sacrifices have to be made") before expiring.

Stay safe
Unfortunately Anklam has made headlines nationwide as a "Nazi stronghold" with the far-right NPD winning more than 10% in the 2019 local elections. There is thus some cause for concern for people who might be targeted by far-right violence, especially at night.
