  • Partnerstadt Crawley (Ca
    Partnerstadt Crawley (ca. 100.000 EW) 18.02.2014-lbau Die erste Partnerstadt, die sich mit Dorsten verschwisterte, war die englische Stadt Crawley. Die Stadt nahe dem Flughafen Gatwick zählt rund 100.000 Einwohner und ist somit die größte Stadt im Binnenland von West Sussex. Die moderne Stadt Crawley ist ein Zusammenschluss mehrerer Gemeinden in der Grafschaft Sussex. Crawley liegt verkehrsgünstig zur Metropole London auf der einen und den berühm- ten Badeorten wie Brighton und Hastings auf der anderen Seite. Die Landschaft der englischen Südküste ist geprägt durch bewaldete Hügel und ausgeprägte Weiden. Sussex gehört mit zahlreichen Schlössern und Herrensitzen, die besichtigt werden können, zu den schönsten Gegenden Englands. Das neue Zentrum der Stadt hat ehemals dörfliche Strukturen abgelöst. Der Queen’s Square – Markt und Festplatz der City – wurde in die moderne Fußgängerzone integ- riert. Mit Geschäften, Springbrunnen, Bäumen, Blumen, Musik-Pavillons sowie Spa- ziergängern und Kindern ist dieser Platz das Herz der Stadt. Um den Queen’s Square angeordnet sind öffentliche Gebäude: Das Rathaus, die Post, verschiedene Banken, Schulen. Weitere elf Stadtteile mit zentralen Plätzen und Geschäftszeilen sichern die woh- nungsnahe Versorgung der Bürger. Viele Wege führen nach Crawley ..... Mit den Kanalfähren, auf denen auch Autos, Motorräder und Fahrräder transportiert werden, oder aber direkt durch den Eurotunnel unter dem Ärmelkanal, ist Crawley schnell zu erreichen. Von Zeebrügge, Ostende, Dünkirchen, Calais und Boulogne dauert die Überfahrt nur wenige Stunden. Von Dover führt die Küstenstraße entlang bis zum Seebad Brigh- ton, auf der Straße Nr. 23 geht’s rechterhand weiter bis nach Crawley. Eisenbahnfans können sich mit dem Zug einschiffen, hier arbeiten die Deutsche Bahn, die niederländische Reichsbahn und die englischen Transportunternehmen eng zusammen.
