Strasbourg

Strasbourg (, (:stʁaz.buʁ, stʁas.buʁ); (ドイツ語:Straßburg), (:ˈʃtʁaːsbʊɐ̯k)) is the capital and principal city of the Alsace region in north eastern France and is the official seat of the European Parliament. Located close to the border with Germany, it is the capital of the Bas-Rhin département. The city and the region of Alsace were historically Alemannic-speaking, which explains the city's Germanic name.〔Adrian Room – (''Placenames of the world: origins and meanings of the names for 6,600 countries, cities, territories, natural features, and historic sites'' ) – McFarland, 2006, p 359.〕 In 2006, the city proper had 272,975 inhabitants and its urban community 467,375 inhabitants. With 759,868 inhabitants in 2010, Strasbourg's metropolitan area (only the part of the metropolitan area on French territory) is the ninth largest in France. The transnational Eurodistrict Strasbourg-Ortenau had a population of 884,988 inhabitants in 2008.〔The official website of the Eurodistrict (indicates ) a population of 868,014, but this does not take into account the (official figures for 2008 ) of the Ortenaukreis, which had a population of 417,613 on 31 December 2008; 884,988 is the addition of the French 2006 census and the German 2008 census. The actual number of inhabitants is even higher, due to the steady growth of the Urban Community of Strasbourg.〕
Strasbourg is the seat of several European institutions, such as the Council of Europe (with its European Court of Human Rights, its European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines and its European Audiovisual Observatory) and the Eurocorps, as well as the European Parliament and the European Ombudsman of the European Union. The city is also the seat of the Central Commission for Navigation on the Rhine and the International Institute of Human Rights.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The international institute of Human Rights )
Strasbourg's historic city centre, the ''Grande Île'' (Grand Island), was classified a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 1988, the first time such an honour was placed on an entire city centre. Strasbourg is immersed in the Franco-German culture and although violently disputed throughout history, has been a bridge of unity between France and Germany for centuries, especially through the University of Strasbourg, currently the second largest in France, and the coexistence of Catholic and Protestant culture. The largest Islamic place of worship in France, the Strasbourg Grand Mosque, was inaugurated by French Interior Minister Manuel Valls on 27 September 2012.〔(France Vows to Kick out Islamic Troublemakers ).〕
Economically, Strasbourg is an important centre of manufacturing and engineering, as well as a hub of road, rail, and river transportation. The port of Strasbourg is the second largest on the Rhine after Duisburg, Germany.
==Etymology and Names==
The city's Gallicized name (Lower Alsatian: ''Strossburi'', ; (ドイツ語:Straßburg), (:ˈʃtʁaːsbʊɐ̯k)) is of Germanic origin and means "Town (at the crossing) of roads". The modern ''Stras-'' is cognate to the German ''Straße'' and English ''street'', all of which are derived from Latin ''strata'' ("paved road"), while ''-bourg'' is cognate to the German ''Burg'' and English ''borough'', all of which are derived from Proto-Germanic ''
*burgz
'' ("hill fort, fortress").
