1187 BY/EE/FI/LT/LV/MD/NO/RU/UA - Struve Geodetic Arc (2005)

Brief Description

"The Struve Arc is a chain of survey triangulations stretching from Hammerfest in Norway to the Black Sea, through 10 countries and over 2,820 km. These are points of a survey, carried out between 1816 and 1855 by the astronomer Friedrich Georg Wilhelm Struve, which represented the first accurate measuring of a long segment of a meridian. This helped to establish the exact size and shape of the planet and marked an important step in the development of earth sciences and topographic mapping. It is an extraordinary example of scientific collaboration among scientists from different countries, and of collaboration between monarchs for a scientific cause. The original arc consisted of 258 main triangles with 265 main station points. The listed site includes 34 of the original station points, with different markings, i.e. a drilled hole in rock, iron cross, cairns, or built obelisks."

斯特鲁维地理探测弧线

"斯特鲁维地理探测弧线是一个三角测量链，北起挪威哈 默菲斯特(Hammerfest)，南至黑海，弧线穿越十个国家，长2820公里。弧线是天文学家弗里德理西·格奥尔格·威廉·斯特鲁维 (Friedrich Georg Wilhelm Struve)于1816至1855年期间进行测量的测量点，代表着人类首次对子午线长短的精确测量。这一测量帮助人类掌握了地球的确切大小和形状，是地 球科学和地形绘图学发展中的重要一步。这个弧线不仅是多国科学家通力合作的一个特例，也是多国君主为科学事业联袂协作的一个特例。原始弧线包含258个主 要三角形和265个测量站点。列入世界遗产名录的弧有34个原始测量站点，带有各种不同标记，如岩石钻孔、铁十字、堆石标或方尖石碑。"

1661 LT - Modernist Kaunas: Architecture of Optimism, 1919-1939 (2023)

 Modernist Kaunas: Architecture of Optimism, 1919-1939

This property testifies to the rapid urbanization that transformed the provincial town of Kaunas into a modern city that became Lithuania’s provisional capital between the First and Second World Wars. Its community-driven transformation of an urban landscape was adapted from an earlier town layout. The quality of modern Kaunas was manifested through the spatial organization of the Naujamiestis (New Town) and Žaliakalnis (Green Hill) areas, and in public buildings, urban spaces and residences constructed during the interwar period that demonstrate a variety of styles in which the Modern Movement found architectural expression in the city.

现代主义的考纳斯：1919-1939年的乐观主义建筑

这处遗产地见证了考纳斯的迅速城市化，从区域城市转变为现代都市，并在一战和二战之间担当立陶宛的临时首都。其城市景观改造以城镇原始布局为基础，以社区为推动单元。现代考纳斯的品质体现在新城区和青山区的空间布局，以及在战间期建造的公共建筑、城市空间和住宅。后者是现代运动在城市建筑领域的表达，呈现多样化的风格。

1137 LT - Kernavė Archaeological Site (2004)

Brief Description

"The Kernavė Archaeological site, about 35 km north-west of Vilnius in eastern Lithuania, represents an exceptional testimony to some 10 millennia of human settlements in this region. Situated in the valley of the River Neris, the site is a complex ensemble of archaeological properties, encompassing the town of Kernavė, forts, some unfortified settlements, burial sites and other archaeological, historical and cultural monuments from the late Palaeolithic Period to the Middle Ages. The site of 194,4 ha has preserved the traces of ancient land-use, as well as remains of five impressive hill forts, part of an exceptionally large defence system. Kernavė was an important feudal town in the Middle Ages. The town was destroyed by the Teutonic Order in the late 14th century, however the site remained in use until modern times."

克拿维考古遗址（克拿维文化保护区）
"克拿维考古遗址位于立陶宛东部，在维 尔纽斯西北约35公里处，是该地区人类居住约10 000年历史的特别例证。遗址群坐落在涅里斯河谷地，包括克拿维城、堡垒、一些未设防的居住地、墓地和从旧石器时代晚期到中世纪时其他的考古、历史和文化 遗迹。该遗址面积为194.4公顷，保留有古代土地使用的遗迹，还有五个山上堡垒（大型防御系统的一部分）的残留部分。克拿维是中世纪一个重要的封建城 镇。 虽然该城在14世纪晚期受到条顿骑士团规约的破坏，但是直到现代还在继续使用中。"

994 LT/RU - Curonian Spit (2000)

Brief Description

"Human habitation of this elongated sand dune peninsula, 98 km long and 0.4-4 km wide, dates back to prehistoric times. Throughout this period it has been threatened by the natural forces of wind and waves. Its survival to the present day has been made possible only as a result of ceaseless human efforts to combat the erosion of the Spit, dramatically illustrated by continuing stabilisation and reforestation projects."

库尔斯沙嘴
"这个延伸出来的沙丘半岛长98公里，宽0.4-4公里，史前时代就有人类居住。自古以来，这里受到了海风、潮汐等自然力量的威胁，由于一代又一代的人通过不断的造林固沙工程与沙嘴的侵蚀进行搏斗，使遗址如今得以存在。"
