Wetter is a small town in Hesse, Germany. The rather unusual designation Wetter stems from a time when the town belonged to the Prussian province of the same name, nowadays is only used by the railway – today, the railway station in town bears this name. Wetter lies in the Marburg-Biedenkopf district on the western edge of the Burgwald, a low range of hills, in the Wetschaft valley and neighbouring places about 14 km north of Marburg. To the north, Wetter borders on the town of Rosenthal in Waldeck-Frankenberg district, to the east on the town of Rauschenberg and the community of Cölbe, to the south on the community of Lahntal, to the southwest on the community of Dautphetal, to the southwest on the town of Biedenkopf and the community of Münchhausen am Christenberg, all in the Marburg-Biedenkopf district. North to south through the town's municipal area runs the Federal Highway B 252 from eastern Westphalia by way of Korbach and Frankenberg and on to Göttingen. To divert heavy traffic away from places in the Wetschaft valley, a bypass road is planned.

The Burgwaldbahn railway line connects the town with Frankenberg. The Kurhessenbahn which runs the line means to reopen the extension between Korbach. Wetter was being mentioned in documents in the 8th and 9th centuries; as of municipal elections held on 26 March 2006, the seats on Wetter Town Council are apportioned thus: Wetter's civic coat of arms might be described thus: In Or on a three-knolled hill vert a fleur-de-lis twig vert with three blossoms argent flanked by two inescutcheons, dexter in azure the Hessian Lion rampant gules and argent sinister.

Manukau City was a territorial authority district in Auckland, New Zealand, governed by the Manukau City Council. The area is sometimes referred to as "South Auckland", although this term never possessed official recognition and does not encompass areas such as East Auckland, within the city boundary, it was a young city, both in terms of legal status and large-scale settlement – though in June 2010, it was the third largest in New Zealand, the fastest growing. In 2010, the entire Auckland Region was amalgamated under Auckland Council; the name Manukau, originating from the Manukau Harbour west of the city, is of Māori origin, means "wading birds", although it has been suggested that the original name of the harbour was Mānuka, meaning a marker post with which an early chief is said to have claimed the area. Manukau City was formed by the amalgamation of Manukau County and Manurewa Borough in 1965; the city expanded in a 1989 New Zealand-wide re-organisation of local government, absorbing Papatoetoe City and Howick Borough, but losing some land to the newly formed Papakura District.

On 1 November 2010, Manukau City Council was abolished, the governed area was amalgamated into the Manukau, Manurewa-Papakura, Franklin wards of the new Auckland "super city". The Manukau City area is concentrated to the south of the Otahuhu isthmus, the narrowest connection between Auckland City and the Northland region and the rest of the North Island. At its narrowest, between the Otahuhu Creek arm of the Tamaki River in the east and the Mangere Inlet to the west, the isthmus is only some 1500 metres across; the area to the south of the isthmus contains the heart of Manukau, sprawled on either side of state highways 1 and 20, the latter of which approaches from the west after crossing Mangere Bridge. The area known as Manukau Central is located close to the junction of these two highways, some 20 kilometres southeast of the centre of Auckland city. Considerable rural and semi-rural land to the east of Manukau Central was within the city council district; this extended towards the Hunua Ranges close to the Firth of Thames, took in such communities as Clevedon and Maraetai.

Beyond Manukau City to the south is Papakura and the Franklin District, which are less urban, but still part of the Auckland Region, to some extent regarded as an integral part of Auckland's urban area. Auckland Airport is located in Mangere, in the west of Manukau, close to the waters of the Manukau Harbour. Manukau City includes the theme park Rainbow's End, one of the oldest shopping malls in the country, now called Westfield Manukau City. In 2009, work started on the Manukau Branch passenger railway line from the North Island Main Trunk at Puhinui; the branch line opened on 15 April 2012 with Manukau railway station as the terminus for Eastern Line services. The Manukau Institute of Technology university campus building is built over the top of the station, which serves the Manukau city centre. On 7 April 2018, a 23-bay bus station was opened on a lot adjacent to the train station to create a transport hub serving most of the southern Auckland Region. For some years before the 1989 re-organisation of local government, Manukau City had the highest population of any city or district in the country.

Like most of the rest of the region, Manukau is ethnically diverse, is home to many peoples Māori and members of Polynesian ethnicities, with a recent concentration of Asians in and near Howick. It is densely populated by New Zealand standards, despite having few apartments; as of the late 2000s less than 50% of the city's population identifies as European, with 17% as Māori, 27% as Pacific, 15% as Asian, with the balance made up of other groups. Manukau City was divided into seven wards. Manukau City had an elected Youth Council which acted as an advisory committee and advocate for youth in the city.
