The city of Edam Netherlands was founded around a dam crossing the river E or IJe close by the Zuiderzee now known as the IJsselmeer. Around 1230 the channel was dammed. At the dam goods had to be loaded onto other vessels and the inhabitants of Edam could levy a toll. This enabled Edam to grow as a trade town. Shipbuilding and fishing brought Edam more wealth.

I spent time In The Netherlands back in the late 50's when the body of water was called Zuiderzee or South Sea. It was at that time a salt water sea. When I lived there in the early 90's it was now called the Ijsselmeer. The word meer is lake, now fresh water. This was an accomplishment turning part of the Sea into a fresh water lake.

Worms is a city in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, on the Rhine River. Established by the Celts, who called it Borbetomagus, Worms today remains embattled with the cities Trier and Cologne over the title of "Oldest City in Germany."

Worms is where, in 1521, Martin Luther broke away from the Roman Catholic Church.

"Unless I am convinced by proofs from Scriptures or by plain and clear reasons and arguments, I can and will not retract, for it is neither safe nor wise to do anything against conscience. Here I stand. I can do no other. God help me. Amen."

On May 25, the Emperor issued his Edict of Worms, declaring Martin Luther an outlaw.
