ALSEN (Danish Als)

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 757 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ALM-ANC
ALSEN (Danish Als) , an
island
  in the Baltic, off the
coast
  of Schleswig, in the Little Belt. It formerly belonged to Denmark, but, as a result of the Danish war of 1864, was incorporated with Germany. Its area is 105 sq. m.; the length nearly 20, and the breadth from 3 to 12 M. Pop. (1900) 25,000, most of whom speak Danish. The
island
  is fertile, richly wooded, and yields
grain
  and fruit. Sonderburg, the
capital
 , with a good harbour and a considerable trade, is connected with the mainland by a
pontoon
 
bridge
 . Other places of note are Norburg and Augustenburg. On the peninsula I(ekenis at the S.W. end of Alsen there is a lighthouse. Here, in 1848, the Danes directed their main attack against Field-
marshal
  Wrangel's army. In 1864 the Prussians under Herwarth von Bittenfeld took Alsen, which was occupied by 9000 Danish troops under Steinmann, thus bringing the Danish war to a close. Since 1870 Alsen has been fortified.
'ALSHEKH, MOSES, Jewish
rabbi
  in Safed (Palestine) in the later part of the 16th century. He was the author of many homiletical commentaries on the Hebrew Bible. His works still justly enjoy much popularity, largely because of their powerful influence as
practical
  exhortations to virtuous life.
