When we came across this fellow, sitting quietly next to the river Ilmenau in Lüneburg, an American who happened to be standing next to me, felt the need to inform me – quite patronizingly – that this was a famous American writer and he wasn’t quite sure whether I might have heard of him. I informed him – equally condescendingly – that I had read most everything that Mr Samuel Longhorne Clemens had written (which is not a lie, his collected works in English and German are amongst my most cherished books). I added “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness.” He recognised the quote and we proceeded to have an interesting conversation about Mark Twain.

OEG: Oh, ewiges Gewackel – O, everlasting jiGgling!
One of the first tramlines between towns jn Germany (as opposed to inner-city lines) was the OEG (Oberrheinische Eisenbahngesellschaft) which ran (and still runs) on a circular track between Mannheim – Weinheim – Heidelberg. Today it is connected to various other tram systems serving the larger Rhein-Neckar-area. Locally, it is still affectionally known as OEG = Oh, Ewiges Gewackel, or O, Everlasting jiGgling, even though the carriages are much more comfortable today. The official name – Linie 5 – has not caught on.
