    Malta and Gozo - Experiences of a study tour from 14th to 21st September 2019 Text and Photos: Hans-Rudolf Neumann Saturday, 14th September 2019 The morning flight from Berlin via Frankfurt Main to Malta with Lufthansa ran without any incidents. But check-in service in Berlin leaves a lot to be desired; the transition to digital full automation to reduce staff provoked the oppo- site effect. Luggage check-in and boarding on two different ends of the airport caused anno- yance, while during boarding two flights were serviced on the same counter. One two Warsaw and one to Frankfurt Main – the line on luggage security was more than 200 people and it was safe to ask the pilot again if this is the right plane when entering the plane. The on-board meal on the flight to Frankfurt consisted of a 30 g al- mond tartlet of a 65 mm size and a drink, on the connecting flight to Malta we had a honey nut bar and another drink.

  • Manoel Island: an Island with a Fort
    Manoel Island: An Island with a Fort . and a Future 299 Manoel Island: An Island with a Fort . and a Future John A. Schembri and Maria Attard The Maltese Islands: Their Location and Size The Maltese Islands are located in the central Mediterranean, about 93km due south of Sicily and 290km east of Tunisia. The islands lie at the exact centre of the Mediterranean, with a 19 degree distance from the eastern and western ends of the Mediterranean, and a longitudinal distance of seven and nine degrees respectively from the northern and southern limits of the Mediterranean shores. This geographical location throws light on, and partially accounts for, the socio-economic and cultural influences experienced by the islands. As a result of the central location, the islands were occupied by successive military powers that were dominant or influential in Mediterranean affairs. This long series of political occupants left their mark on coastal land use and conditioned the strong economic and cultural links with Europe, which accounts for 80 per cent of the islands’ trade and from where 90 per cent of tourism originates. Semitic links with North Africa are evident in the language1. With an area of approximately 320km2, the archipelago consists of three main islands: Malta (245km2), Gozo (68km2) and Comino, together with a number of other smaller islands and rocks: it has a total length of about 45km, trending north-west to south-east. The islands lie on the submarine ridge that divides the Mediterranean into two halves. Like all other small island states the Maltese Islands possess a small area per kilometre of coastline and they are more dependent on their coastal resources than larger states.

    Malta SHORT Pierre Sammut ARTICLEST he Influence of the - Knights of the Order THINK of St. John on Malta CULTURE Due to its geographical position at the cross- roads of the Mediterranean, Malta has wit- nessed many different influences. In Ancient times, it attracted the Phoenicians, Greeks, Carthaginian and the Romans, then other con- querors including the Arabs, Normans, Ara- gonese and the Crusaders, the French and the British. But one of the most fascinating pe- riods of Maltese history remains to this very day the period governed by the Knights Hos- pitaller, better known as the Order of St. John, who governed the islands from 1530 to the end of the 18th century, when the French un- der Commander Napoleon Bonaparte took over Malta. Prehistoric Temples and Majestic Palaces from different periods are unique landmarks. The Knights in particular left their marks on vario- us aspects of Maltese culture, in particular the language, buildings and literature. Their period is often referred to as Malta's Golden Age, as a result of the architectural and artistic embel- lishment and as a result of advances in the overall health, education and prosperity of the local population. Music, literature, theatre as well as visual arts all flourished in this period, which also saw the foundation and develop- ment of many of the Renaissance and Baro- que towns and villages, palaces and gardens, tomy and Surgery was established by Grand the most notable being the capital city, Valletta, Master Fra Nicolau Cotoner I d'Olesa at the one of several built and fortified by the Sacra Infermeria in Valletta, in 1676.

  • Every Life in 19Th and Early 20Th Century Malta
    MALTESE HISTORY Unit L Everyday Life and Living Standards Public Health Form 4 1 Unit L.1 – Population, Emigration and Living Standards 1. Demographic growth The population was about 100,000 in 1800, it surpassed the 250,000 mark after World War II and rose to over 300,000 by 1960. A quarter of the population lived in the harbour towns by 1921. This increase in the population caused the fast growth of harbour suburbs and the rural villages. The British were in constant need of skilled labourers for the Dockyard. From 1871 onwards, the younger generation migrated from the villages in search of employment with the Colonial Government. Employment with the British Services reached a peak in the inter-war period (1919-39) and started to decline after World War II. In the 1950s and 1960s the British started a gradual rundown of military personnel in their overseas colonies, including Malta. Before the beginning of the first rundown in 1957, the British Government still employed 27% of the Maltese work force. 2. Maltese emigration The Maltese first became attracted to emigration in the early 19th century. The first organised attempt to establish a Maltese colony of migrants in Corfu took place in 1826. Other successful colonies of Maltese migrants were established in North African and Mediterranean ports in Algiers, Tunis, Bona, Tripoli, Alexandria, Port Said, Cairo, Smyrna, Constantinople, Marseilles and Gibraltar. By 1842 there were 20,000 Maltese emigrants in Mediterranean countries (15% of the population). But most of these returned to Malta sometime or another. Emigration to Mediterranean areas declined rapidly after World War II.
