Calendar: What happened on September 7?

The September 7 calendar recalls events ranging from the 2011 plane crash near Yaroslavl, Russia, that killed 44 people, including the Lokomotiv Yaroslavl ice hockey team and German international Robert Dietrich, to the shooting of U.S. rapper Tupac Shakur in Las Vegas in 1996. Shakur died six days later.

On this date in 1951, Germany's Federal Constitutional Court began work in Karlsruhe, although its formal opening took place on September 28. In 1911, Hamburg opened the 426.5-meter Elbe Tunnel, linking the St. Pauli landing bridges with the harbor area.

The calendar also records the end of China's Boxer Uprising through the 1901 Peace of Peking. China agreed to pay large war reparations to the colonial powers. The term "Boxers" referred to groups seeking to free China from foreign influence.

Those listed among the day's birthdays include German actress Hannah Herzsprung, speed skater Gunda Niemann-Stirnemann, actor Jochen Horst and entrepreneur Dirk Roßmann. The death anniversary listed is that of German politician and physicist Dagmar Schipanski, who died in 2022.
