Many of my American friends have lamented about, as Mark Twain would call it, "The Awful German Language" and its words that appear to be merely a seemingly endless jumble of consonants with the occasional vowel randomly placed here and there. So, to continue to irk the non-native German speakers in my circle of acquaintances from afar, I have begun to collect photos of my favorite signage(s) here...
This is one from my recent vacation. It's located at the Stocksee: "Nichtschwimmergrenze"= non-swimmer boundary aka "the deep end". |
Hamburg: "Personenaufzug" = Lift (BE), Elevator (AE)
|
This is a nice one from Hamburg, as it contains several. However, I'll just highlight my favorites:
"Freizonengrenze" = 'free zone boundary' aka "toll road" or "this is where you pay" "Zweibrückenstrasse" = Two Bridge Street (that's the name of the street) |
Berlin: " Institut für Rehabilitationswissenschaften" = Institute for Rehabilitation Science
|
Dresden: "Löschwassereinspeisung" = hydrant
|
And, finally, my absolute favorite.
Lübeck: "Hundekotentsorgungsbeutel"= dog waste bag (with pictured instructions!) |
