THE SNOW WHITE ANATOLIA-DENIZLI


The eastern part of the Aegean region, the West Inneranatoliens is a vast hilly area. This is a field in all shades of green angestrichene city, which they Denizli. Previously called "Ladik". This name came from the 6 km north-lying city Laodikya Romans, whose ruins we see today.
Our historians tell us the name come from the Denizli Türkmenischen clan Tonguzlu, who during the Seljuk time a city founded, the name was Tonguzlu with time Tonuzlu and later to Denizli. The large Turkish geographer, Katip Çelebi adds the name of Denizli was because of the large crowd and the wealth of water have been [deniz = Sea].
The name of the city is also forecast in the light of the appeal to a different meaning. The levels and pastures Denizlis were once a anatolisches inland sea. On the shores of this sea was once the hut of a poor fisherman, is an elderly mother lived with their young and inexperienced son. The boy went to fish Fang, but the mother looked at him from their hut, until his return had its poor heart never rest. On one day in winter, the boy return to its networks, rose in his boat and went to fish Fang ... No sooner had he stored, a cracking, a thundering. The mountains raged, the sky had opened its sluices. It was such a storm that the tiny fishing boat with the headlong capsized. So it happened, the boy was gone ... With the pain of their son in the heart of the proposed elderly mother on his knees and complained their suffering:
About you stone and mountain
Under fire you
So you seiest sea ...
Between rocks herabgestürzten
Lead the sea ...
Your heart should suffer like mine
May you smoke, should boil your water ...
The suffering of a mother ... And as it happens. The huge sea disfiguration in the depths of the earth. Under his fire on stone him ... At various points to start bubbling hot springs, it starts to steam. And the city was founded here, therefore, called it "Denizli.
Today in the West Denizlis, Bachtal "Kızıldere from 300 meters hervorschießende water vapor is intended as herzerweichend the action as a mother. The same can also be of the spas and hot springs in the area say ... The most beautiful but this is Pamukkale.
The town of Pamukkale was formerly known the name of Hierapolis, which means holy city. It is located 21 km north of Denizli, on the slopes of the mountains Çökelez. From these mountains seeps hot mineral water, the limestone in it shall be resolved on the travertine what the rocks white colours. As a bride in white, like a Snow White! It alleviates the infirmity, beautifies beautiful, this water. And it has a history, we can not continue without having to tell.
The story of the daughter of the wood-cutter
Once upon a time, lived here as a poor woodcutter who had an ugly daughter. The poor girl took the poverty is not so much to heart, but ashamed of its very ugliness. When they reached the age heiratsfähige, reported not a single Free. The poor girl said:
-- That is too many. Better than to live it, not to live!
One morning they rose early on the mountain and Çökelez was down the slope.
On that morning was the son of the Prince of Denizli to go hunting. His path led here. He looked down from the mountain and what he sees? In a pond, from the mountain hinuntersickernden hot water gebiltet worde, the corpse of a girl as beautiful as a piece of the moon. He ran down, took the girl in his arms and listened to her heart. It is unconscious, but she lives! He sets out on the back of his horse and rides at Full Gallop to Seraille. The story ends with a forty days and forty nights lasting happy wedding. The happy bride preisende the wedding is the daughter of poor wood-cutter who wanted to take the lives since its ugliness could no longer endure.
The healing waters of Pamukkale fortgetragen had its ugliness and a Snow White's [actually Baumwollprinzessin = pamuk prenses], and a beauty beyond her.

Under the protection of darkness, he could just save his life and flee to Antalya.
The Holy Virgin of Denizli
The heroic deeds of the Turks, who during the Crusades in defending the homeland have done, are in the songs. At the Außeinandersetzungen with the Crusaders, together with the vanguard of the Sultan Mesut d. I., a girl named Fatma Yıldız Hatun from one of the Türkmenischen families Denizlis participated.
