057: The Currywurst

The Currywurst. Or perhaps “curry-ketchup sausages” are as common in Germany as perhaps hamburgers in the States. It’s a beloved snack, and an after-party savior. Currywurst has an interesting post-war history, and even started from an American GI influence in Berlin (or Hamburg)—yet never made it back to the US. Except when you buy Heinz Curryketschup in a German Delikatessen.A show by podcastnik.com — visit the site for all projects and news.☞ Check out our new show, Past Access!

056: The Stone Bridge of Regensburg

The stone bridge in Regensburg, built in 1135, has been through a lot. It's the oldest standing bridge in Germany and also spans some 300 meters. It's an heirloom of German history that even has its own lore around it. Swedes destroying one of its guard towers, Nazis blowing up a portion to stop American troops, medieval executions. Enough events and legends that it needed its own episode. Also, Regensburg is amazing.The "podcard"--as the kids are calling it--came from Klaudia Zotzmann-Koch. Author and podcaster extraordinaire, resident of Vienna, but from an area we recently covered (Episode 51), she gives us more insight into the area.https://www.zotzmann-koch.com/buecher/ (I believe all in German)https://www.zotzmann-koch.com/blog-podcasts/ (in German)A show by podcastnik.com — visit the site for all projects and news. ☞ Check out our new show, Past Access!

Very interesting! I would to have a list of all these name meanings. I knew about Wales but never put 2x2 together for Cornwall, and never heard of the Swiss region. Not to mention Wend and Slav. And all of this is a carry-over of the Greek barbar, from which we get barbarian.

Not history question as such more language based. When we are taught German in a non-German educational establishment is it based on High German or Low German or a combination of both or neither? Thanks Katie Tyers
