    Absolutely, though in this case it would be the most obvious translation, since it was a frisian settlement and "Rung" and "Holt" are both frisian words in use. It is possible that…

    Not far away, but partially preserved by the mudflat, lies Rungholt. A city of ~1000-1500 (some sources say 3000) inhabitants that was drowned in the Grote Mandrenke (1362 AD). Tha…

    Oh wow, I had the exact image you linked photocopied and glued to the first page of my German folder. Has been ages since I saw this, thanks!

    This can't be fully correct, though, at least for my (as-remote-as-it-gets) area. My father was born in '52 and had to learn it in school here. He still writes the small 'z' in Süt…

    My biggest selling point for this would be, that the volume is probably the same throughout the whole text. I am listening to audiobooks to fall asleep, and many voice actors go fr…

    Thanks for that explanation! The Mindesthaltbarkeitsdatum is the deadline to which the item may still be sold by the vendor, iirc.

    Why should that be dangerous? I have never heard that. I have always had my fridge at 8°C and never had something dangerous happen to me. I have never come across fridges that were…

    yr.no is the best for my location (northern Germany) as well. Many locals use DWD (German Weather Service). A lot of the German sailors use dmi.dk (Danish meteorological institute)…

    So many left-handers here that feel disadvantaged in our right-handed society. If you ever want to do one thing where you feel you left-handedness gives you an advantage, pick up K…

    I am exactly like this. When I was learning to write I frequently changed hands, until my teacher told me, that I have 3 days to figure out with which hand I want to write. Left fe…

    Those exist here at the expense of different peoples, depending where you are in Germany. Most popular, from what I can tell, are East Frisians, but that has to do with a comedian …

    Wow, that's surprising! I live at the German/Danish border (Flensburg) and didn't know this. Have you got any idea, why? Close at the border we have a lot of shops where people fro…

    A fantastic example of a man / band that is embracing the silliness is Rainbowdragoneyes. He mixes death metal with chiptune and trash pop voice modulators but still produces very …

    I was taught a good lesson about animations, that I want to share: When you make an animation, you might fall in love with it too much. You are proud, because it looks really cool.…

    Yup! The German word Bein means both: Leg and Bone. Ethymology is a fascinating subject, for sure.

    Ancient Greek was one of the best courses I had in university. It changed my view on language and western thinking quite a lot. My favorite words are μαθηματικὴ (mathematike): If I…

    Thank you for taking the time to give me feedback! Indeed the quotes are wrong and I noticed the focus(?) bug as well on the phone. I think there are also some CSS-related bugs in …
