Geography

The Øysand area measures about 3 square kilometers (1.2 sq mi).^[2] The Gaula River borders Øysand to the north and east, separating it from Leinstrand in the municipality of Trondheim. To the west there is a shallow sandy beach on the shore of Gaulosen, a branch of Trondheim Fjord. To the south, the section of European route E39 from Klett to Orkanger crosses the area. Øysand is a flat plain and most of the land is used for growing grain. There is also some industry there and a campground along the beach.^[3] The best-known native of the area is the musician, composer, and actor Ivar Gafseth, who is known from the television series The Julekalender and the Trøndelag Theater.^[4]

The Gaula is a river that flows through the Gauldal valley in Trøndelag county, Norway. The 153-kilometre (95 mi) long river is the largest in Central Norway. The river begins in Holtålen municipality near the mountain Kjølifjellet. It then flows through the municipalities of Holtålen, Midtre Gauldal, and Melhus before emptying into Trondheimsfjord near Leinstrand on the border between the municipalities of Trondheim and Melhus.

Leinstrand is a former municipality in the old Sør-Trøndelag county, Norway. The 46-square-kilometre (18 sq mi) municipality existed from 1838 until its dissolution in 1964. The municipality of Leinstrand encompassed the south-central part of what is now the city of Trondheim in Trøndelag county. The administrative centre was located in Heimdal, just west of the border with Tiller municipality. The local Leinstrand Church was built in 1673.

The city is dominated by the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), the Foundation for Scientific and Industrial Research (SINTEF), St. Olavs University Hospital and other technology-oriented institutions.

Name

The name of the area was originally simply Øy 'island'.^[2] The name Øysand is also found spelled as Øysandan and Øysanden, but these forms are hardly ever used in speech. The dative form of Øysand in the local dialect is på Øysaɲɲa. In 2012, the Norwegian Mapping and Cadastre Authority sought to standardize the spelling as Øysand.^[2]

The Norwegian Mapping Authority (NMA) is Norway's national mapping agency, dealing with land surveying, geodesy, hydrographic surveying, cadastre and cartography. The current director is Anne Cathrine Frøstrup. Its headquarters are in Hønefoss and it is a public agency under the Ministry of Local Government and Modernisation. NMA was founded in 1773.

Nordstern, often erroneously referred to as Neu Drontheim, was the Nazi plan for the creation of a new German metropolis in German-occupied Norway during World War II. It was planned to have a population of around 250,000–300,000 inhabitants.
