ALTONA, a town of Germany, in the Prussian province of Schleswig-Holstein, on the right bank of the Elbe immediately west of Hamburg.
The name Altona is said to be derived from allzu-nah (" all too near"), the Hamburgers' designation for an inn which in the middle of the 16th century lay too close to their territory.
In 1864 Altona was occupied in the name of the German Confederation, passed to Prussia after the war of 1866, and 1888 together with Hamburg joined the Zollverein, while retaining certain free trade rights over the Freihafengebiet which it shares with Hamburg and Wandsbek.
Altona were able to survive this period of sustained South Melbourne pressure and almost opened the scoring themselves in the 62nd minute.
Altona welcomed back Fidell Richards for this match and it proved to be pivotal as he played a major hand in the winning goal when he produced a marauding run down the left and his pinpoint cross was subsequently finished by Aleksovski.
Altona Magic have brought to a halt their run of losses against a resolute Fawkner Blues finishing this away fixture in a goalless stalemate in what could best be described as a scrappy game on a bumpy pitch.
