Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany had often gone on vacation to Sunnmøre. After the fire, he sent four warships with materials to build temporary shelters and barracks. After a period of planning, the town was rebuilt in stone, brick, and mortar in Jugendstil (Art Nouveau), the architectural style of the time. The structures were designed by approximately 20 master builders and 30 Norwegian architects, most of them educated in Trondheim and Charlottenburg, Berlin, drawing inspiration from all over Europe. To honor Wilhelm, one of the most frequented streets of the town is named after him. Source:Wikipedia
This seems more like a commercial than a news feature. The video includes many aerial shots, which I assume were supplied by a tourism board or governmental agency. The music bed goes wall-to-wall. Did it ever actually air on CNNTV? I suspect it's a package that CNN just did a new VO narration for.
The name Aal(e)sund or "eel sound" in my opinion more than likely is not derived from of the fish, but rather due to the nature of the winding sound/strait running through the city center. But then again, the two words literally mean the same. Moving forward in a prone position namely like the eel would. Remember to watch out for any free roaming polar bears too ;-)
