  Altmark, Germany
The Altmark is the low-lying area between the Middle Elbe depression on the east and north-east, the Ohre valley with the Mittelland Canal on the south and the Elbufer-Drawehn Nature Park on the west and northwest.
The light sandy soils of the Altmark are suitable for agriculture and forestry.
The Altmark can be reached on good roads from the Berlin-Magdeburg-Marienborn motorway via Haldensleben (equestrian statue of Roland in Markt; numerous megalithic tombs in Haldensleben Forest) or Wolmirstedt, from the B 5 by way of the bridge over the Elbe at Wittenberge or from the east by way of the Elbe bridge at Tangermünde.

Having found that the payment of subsidies to Altmark Trans for the commercial operation of the licences at issue in the main proceedings was not contrary to national law, the Bundesverwaltungsgericht considers the compatibility of those subsidies with Community law.
Altmark Trans, the Regierungspräsidium and Nahverkehrsgesellschaft submit that it cannot be deduced from Regulation No 1191/69 that public subsidies for transport undertakings are consistent with Community law only if public service obligations within the meaning of that regulation have been imposed or a public service contract has been concluded in accordance with that regulation.
Altmark Trans submits that the option available to the national legislature to authorise public subsidies intended to compensate for deficits resulting from the operation of urban, suburban or regional public transport without regard being had to Regulation No 1191/69 exists independently of Article 77 of the Treaty.

The Altmark incident had revealed the frailty of the neutrality of a small country which falls foul of the interests of two great powers.
The Altmark was the 15,000-ton German supply ship which had ministered to the needs of Graf Spee in the South Atlantic ; since the action off the Uruguayan coast, she had lain low, her holds packed with three hundred British seamen captured from Graf Spee’s victims.
The Altmark’s report described how a boarding party had seized the ship’s bridge “and began firing like blind maniacs into the German crew, who of course did not have a gun among them.” Six men died, many more were injured.

 CITY GARDELEGEN - History / Hanse / yesterday
As a result of this the Altmark is not one of the preferred areas of the Hanse; the long-distance traders used the Altmark as a pass way-area, they used the town of the Altmark as secure and confederate interstations and side stations of the trade road from North to South.
The significance of the Altmark for the historic Hanse was therefore not that big compared to other areas.
The historic time of the Hanse in the Altmark is identical with the time of the historic city-alliances of the Altmark, which showed, for the first time regional consciousness, regional feeling of solidarity and regional commitment of the people of the towns of the Altmark.

 Altmark | Reckon Open
In Ferring, the court found that the Article 87(1) and Article 86(2) tests were identical in a case of a tax exemption measure intended to provide compensation for a public service obligation imposed on a class of pharmaceuticals wholesalers.
Altmark confirmed that this equivalence did not extend to all cases of funding for public services.
In particular, Altmark recognises that funding provided through a public service concession contract might be justified under Article 86(2) even if the four criteria above were not met, which is to say even if the funding agency had not acted like a "market purchaser" in establishing the concession contract.
