Windows in Sauer’s place

· 6 Comments ·

A half-timbered house in Ladenburg in the south west of Germany was the birthplace of Johann Christoph Sauer.

The plaque on the house is in German, Pennsylvania Dutch and English explaining about Johann Sauer.

Sauer was a Pennsylvania-German printer who in 1743 printed the first German bible in America known as the “Sauer Bible”.

Travel Challenge #6

· 1 Comment ·

I was nominated by Teresa  and by Margaret to post one travel picture a day for ten days without explanation, then to nominate someone else to participate. That’s 10 days, 10 travel images, and 10 nominations. 

The photos I am going to show in this challenged are from travels around Germany and where chosen to introduce my German language students to various German sites.

Here is my sixth one:

Today I would like to nominate Agatha (you were foolish enough to like my #5 post – and with a name like “40thousandkm” – what did you expect?). There is no pressure to participate, though. But if you share some of your travel photos, have fun! I’ll definitely have a look (please send me a link).

In Ulm

· 5 Comments ·

Ulm is a town in the south of Germany. The well-known tongue twister “In Ulm, um Ulm und um Ulm herum” has little meaning beyond being a tongue twister: in Ulm, around Ulm and round and round Ulm.

In the middle of Ulm, in the old town, houses stand close to each other, compact like in many originally medieval towns.
