Germany's affair with cars

(dpa) - In case you hadn't noticed, Germans are crazy about cars. Even if this enthusiasm has been waning among the young, the adoration of the "auto" remains closely linked to the country's national identity.

The western city of Bonn has now devoted a new exhibition to Germany's love affair with the automobile, which has been the lifeblood of the country's economy for decades.

Located in a contemporary history museum called Haus der Geschichte (House of History), which attracts around one million visitors a year, the show is titled "Loved, needed and reviled. The Germans and their cars". Read the entire article

7 REASONS YOU SHOULD NEVER DATE A GERMAN GIRL

German Girl at Beergarden

1. You will get fat.

Croissants, rolls or bread with cheese and sausage, jam or Nutella for breakfast, bread as a side for lunch or in the form of dumplings, and bread with sausage or cheese for dinner will become the norm for you. Top that off with meat, potatoes and creamy sauces for lunch as well, cake or Danishes in the afternoon, and a (few) glasses of beer. Veggies? Uhm, sorry, the only things close to vegetables in a German diet are a side salad or Sauerkraut. If you’re tired of German cuisine, your options of foreign dishes are Döners, pizza, or pasta.

2. You will never be late anymore.

If you’re five minutes early, you’re almost late on German time – that’s how anal we are about it. And if you’re not letting us know that you’re five minutes late – you’re going to have a really hard time in this country! We have to live up to our reputation of being precise and punctual because these words stand next to “German” in the dictionary!

Die immer lacht

Die ist die eine, die immer lacht, die immer lacht,
die immer lacht, die immer lacht,
Oh, die immer lacht

Wie sie dich lieben
Oh, zu lieben
Ich zeig dir wie es geht
Sie ist die eine, die immer lacht, die immer lacht,

The Truth about the German Christmas Pickle Tradition

Germans take credit for a lot of popular Christmas traditions and decorations. Whether it’s the Christmas tree, nutcrackers, incense smoker men or the Advent calendars – they all originated in Germany.

But NOT so the famous Christmas pickle!

Even though finding a pickle in the decorated Christmas tree may be an enjoyable tradition, it doesn’t come from Germany. In fact, I was surprised to hear about this silly custom when I had just moved to the US. As most other Germans, I had never even heard about such custom.

Here’s what the legend says: click for details

German Christmas Advent Calendars - Why So Special?

Another typical German thing – the Christmas Advent Calendar!

The famous protestant reformer Martin Luther is initially to ‘blame’ for it. He made out of the strictly biblical holiday, a family-oriented Christmas. Therefore initially the ‘Advent calendar’ was just used as a counting aid for kids. This way, they could count down the 24 days from the 1st day of Advent until Christmas. It still didn’t look like the Advent Christmas calendar as we know it today. Mostly families ...read full post

Cool German Song for Language Learners

Currently still topping the German charts: JORIS - Herz über Kopf (German & English lyrics below)

Herz über Kopf

Hast mich lang nicht mehr so angesehen
hab viel zu oft versucht uns zu verstehn'
die Augen treffen sich, der Wein ist schon halb leer
Oh, ich weiß ganz genau was du grad denkst
der Zug ist abgefahrn' die Zeit verschenkt
fühlt sich so richtig an, doch ist so falsch

und immer wenn es Zeit wird zu gehn
vergess ich was mal war und bleibe stehn
das Herz sagt bleib
der Kopf schreit geh
Herz über Kopf
Herz über Kopf

trägst deine Haare immer noch wie früher
und du tanzt genau wie früher
die Augen treffen sich der Raum ist schon halb leer
haben uns so oft gesagt es geht nicht mehr
das war am Anfang schwer, doch jetzt viel mehr
Musik ist aus und du kommst immer näher

immer wenn es Zeit wird zu gehn
verpass ich den Moment und bleibe stehn
das Herz sagt bleib
der Kopf schreit geh
Herz über Kopf
immer wenn es Zeit wird zu gehn
verpass ich den Moment und bleibe stehn
das Herz sagt bleib
der Kopf schreit geh
Herz über Kopf
Herz über Kopf
Herz über Kopf, lass ich dich immer noch nicht gehn
lass ich dich immer noch nicht gehn
auch wenn es längst Zeit wär zu gehn
Herz über Kopf

immer wenn es Zeit wird zu gehn
verpass ich den Moment und bleibe stehn
das Herz sagt bleib
der Kopf schreit geh
Herz über Kopf

Und immer wenn es Zeit wird zu gehn
verpass ich den Moment und bleibe stehn
das Herz sagt bleib
der Kopf schreit geh
Herz über Kopf

Head Over Heart

You haven't looked at me like this for a long time
I have tried too often to understand us
The eyes meet, the wine is already half empty
Oh, I know exactly what you are thinking now
The train has departed, time is gone
Feels so right but is it so wrong

And whenever it is time to go
I forget what once was and remain standing
The heart says stay
The head cries go
Heart over head
Heart over head

You still wear your hair as before
and you dance exactly as before
The eyes meet, the room is already half empty
We said it so often, it does not work anymore
That was difficult at the beginning, but now much more
Music is off and you come closer and closer

Whenever it is time to go
I miss the moment and stand still
The heart says stay
The head cries go
Heart over head
Whenever it is time to go
I miss the moment and stand still
The heart says stay
The head cries go
Heart over head
Heart over head
Heart over head, I still cannot let you go
I still cannot let you go
Even when it is time to go
Heart over head

Whenever it is time to go
I miss the moment and stand still
The heart says stay
The head cries go
Heart over head

And whenever it is time to go
I miss the moment and stand still
The heart says stay
The head cries go
Heart over head
