June 3rd: Historical discoveries and celebrity birthdays!
Today, June 3, 2025, the focus is on both historical events and personal milestones. This day is not only the name day for the names Karl, Klothilde and Morand, but also a date that has numerous significant events in history.
A remarkable historical moment took place in 2000 when Franck Goddio discovered the remains of the sunken city of Herakleion six kilometers off Egypt's Mediterranean coast. This important port city was central to trade in ancient Egypt until the founding of Alexandria. The recent past also offers exciting insights: In 1995, Germany's longest pier, measuring 508 meters, was opened in the seaside resort of Heringsdorf on the island of Usedom.
Space travel and politics
Another memorable moment occurred in 1965 when the US space capsule “Gemini 4” took off. Edward White became the first American to move in space using a maneuvering unit outside the capsule. Such steps in spaceflight mark significant advances in space exploration and are central to today's space programs.
The political fears and hopes found expression in 1955 when the foreign ministers of the Montanunion decided in Messina to form a common market and a European Atomic Energy Community. These steps were fundamental for later European integration. For a further look into history, remember the year 1740, when King Frederick II of Prussia issued a general ban on torture, with the exception of crimes of majesty, treason and murder until 1754.
Birthdays and anniversaries of death
June 3rd is also a day of numerous birthday celebrations. This year Bettina Orlopp, the CEO of Commerzbank, is celebrating her 55th birthday. Thomas Ohrner, known from German television, is also turning 60. Suzi Quatro, the legendary American rock singer, celebrates her 75th birthday.
