In the autumn of 1999 workers laboring on the bed of the river Elbe where it begins to open out to the sea at Hamburg came up against a massive boulder. It was a noteworthy event and made the news. The rock became popular and the people of Hamburg began to visit it. But this celebrated resident of the city turned
out to be an immigrant. It is an erratic, pushed south by the ice thousands of
years ago and left here as the ice retreated. By no means, then, a ‘local’ boulder.
Or is it? How long do you have to have been here to be local?
