thumbs down for wrong answers ...ready!!!! steady!!!! GO MAN GO

Answer 1

Hamburg.

OK, it's only two, The Elbe and The Alster.

Answer 2

Sadly, this question has no "real" answer because there is no place in Germany where 3 rivers actually intersect at one city.  That means 3 rivers with their own names making a 4th river with it's own name.  2 different rivers meet at several cities to form a "new" river, but not 3.  Thumbs down to the question asker.

Answer 3

koblentz

Answer 4

The city name is "Hannoversch Münden" or "Hannoversch Muenden" also called "Die Drei-Flüsse Stadt" (City of three rivers).

Actually only two rivers meet each other:  the Werra and the Fulda.  By the confluence of both rivers an other river will be formed: the "Weser".  The Weser is the river that flows through Bremen.

Children in Germany learn the following poem about this "Three rivers city":

"Wo Werra sich und Fulda küssen - sie ihren Namen büßen müssen, und hier entsteht durch diesen Kuss - Deutsch bis zum Meer der Weserfluss".

Translated it is something like:

(Where the Werra and the Fulda kiss each other, they have to sacrify their names, and here it will be form by this kiss -  Deutsch until the sea the Weser river)

Answer 5

Passau (Latin: Batavia, Czech: Pasov) is a town in Niederbayern, Eastern Bavaria, Germany, known also as the Dreiflüssestadt (City of Three Rivers), because the Danube River is joined there by the Inn River from the South, and the Ilz River coming out of the Bavarian Forest to the North.

Answer 6

It's Hann.(oversch) Münden. There the Fulda river and the Werra river lose their names and flow as the river Weser to the North Sea.
