Göteborg was founded in 1621. King Gustavus Adolphus II decided that the city would be ruled by twelve councillors. The high council was made up of 4 Swedes, 3 Germans, 2 Scots and 2 Dutch. The Germans were regarded as good organisers, the Scots as entrepreneurs and the Dutch for their skills as city planners and knowledge of canal systems.
SE02 Breith Gothenburg
Chaidh baile-mòr Ghothenburg (Göteborg) a stèidheachadh ann an 1621 le òrdugh bho Gustavus Adolphus II. Bha e gu bhith air a riaghladh le comhairle de dhusan ball, a bha air a dhèanamh suas aig an àm le 4 Suainich, 3 Gearmailtich, 2 Albannach agus 2 Dhuitseach. Bha na Duitsich deatamach anns a’ phlanadh agus ann an neartachadh a’ bhaile ùir chanàlaich seo, fhad ’s a bha na Gearmailtich air am faicinn mar a bhith math air eagrachadh agus na h-Albannaich nan iomairtichean tàlantach. Leasaich Gothenburg gu bhith na mhòr-ionad airson malairt leis an taobh an iar, a’ tighinn gu bhith na ionad gnìomhachais cudromach a tha an-diugh mar an dàrna baile as motha san t-Suain.
