Bie Ravndal, American consul general in charge, Hamburg] Brief history of the port —Kiel has a population, according to the last census of June, 1925, of 213,881. The city itself is situated at the juncture of the Kiel Canal and Kiel Bay, which connects with the Baltic. The city and harbor are well protected from the winds, and are naturally easy to defend because of the narrow entrance to the harbor. Kiel claims to have the best harbor on the Baltic coast of Germany. The city was founded early in the thirteenth century by Count Adolf IV of Schauenburg-Holstein and joined the Hanseatic League in 1284. Its history is of little importance until it was incorporated with Prussia with the rest of Schleswig-Holstein in 1867. after the Austro-Prussian War. Before the World War Kiel was Germany's Baltic Sea naval base, ind was very heavily fortified. Its importance was, of course, 'nereased by the completion of the Kiel or Kaiser Wilhelm Canal, built, 1887-1895, and enlarged and deepened 1909-1915, at a cost of 50,000,000 marks, to a depth of 11 meters and a surface width of 102 Meterg * * *
