چکیده
Figure 3. "Scheele Haus," the birthplace (1742) of Scheele, is the center building, located at Fiihrstrafie 23, Stra/sund, Gennany (N 54° 18.99; E 13° 05.56). This building is elegantly marked with a plaque and a small exhibit inside. The view is eastward, downhill toward the Baltic Sea only 200 meters away and from which cold winds often blow up the street. Occasional plaques in the city dating from the 1700s are engraved in Swedish, attesting to the fact that the region was part of Sweden at that time.
