Schwabe (crater)
Schwabe is a small lunar impact crater that is located in the northern part of the Moon. It lies to the southeast of the much larger crater Arnold, and east-northeast of Democritus. The rim of this crater is cut through by a cleft along the northwest that runs westwards until it joins the lava-flooded terrain surrounding Schwabe G. To the south of Schwabe is a cleft-like feature that runs from the rim of Schwabe D a distance of nearly 100 km eastwards. The remaining rim of Schwabe crater is worn and uneven, with the most intact section along the east-southeast side. The interior floor has been resurfaced by basaltic lava, possibly entering the crater through the aforementioned gaps in the rim.

Schwaub, California
Schwaub (also, Schwab) is a former settlement in Inyo County, California. It was located in the Funeral Mountains of Death Valley north of Ryan. In 1905, gold was discovered nearby, and the town was built. The Schwab post office opened and closed in 1907. The town was named for Charles M. Schwab, and had several saloons, a blacksmith, a boarding house, and a general store. However, the town was taken over by three women who drove out the town's saloons, and as a result, most of Schwab's men, leading to the eventual decline of the town. The Stray Horse mine, which served the workers who lived in Schwab, still stands today, along with several buildings of the town, and items such as cans and shattered glass.

Swabia
Swabia ; , colloquially ''Schwabenland'' or ''Ländle''; archaic English also Suabia or Svebia is a cultural, historic and linguistic region in southwestern Germany. The name is ultimately derived from the medieval Duchy of Swabia, one of the German stem duchies, representing the historic settlement area of the Germanic tribe alliances named Alemanni and Suebi. This territory would include all of the Alemannic German area, but the modern concept of Swabia is more restricted, due to the collapse of the duchy of Swabia in the thirteenth century. Swabia as understood in modern ethnography roughly coincides with the Swabian Circle of the Holy Roman Empire as it stood during the early modern period, now divided between the states of Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg. Swabians (''Schwaben'', singular ''Schwabe'') are the natives of Swabia and speakers of Swabian German. Their number was estimated at close to 0.8 million by SIL Ethnologue as of 2006, compared to a total popula ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
