Announcement "Aire of Elation" VtES Tournament in Darmstadt, Germany

On October 8th, 2001 the "Aire of Elation" VtES Tournament will be held in Darmstadt, Germany. Darmstadt is a city in the state of Hesse in Germany, located in the southern part of the Rhine-Main area. The sandy soils in the Darmstadt area, ill-suited for agriculture in times before industrial fertilization, prevented any larger settlement from developing, until the city became the seat of the Landgraves of Hessen-Darmstadt in the 16th century. As the administrative center of an increasingly prosperous duchy, the city gained in prominence during the following centuries. In the 20th century, industry (especially chemical) as well as large science and electronics (later information technology) sectors became increasingly important, and are still a major part of the city's economy.
