@TexasGerman_@fussballchef Yep, it has the best proportions from a design perspective. They should go back to it. Just replace that old eagle with the current one.
@fussballchef Thank you! I’ve been saying it for years. The current one is much too convoluted. Too many rings, the eagle too small. From a distance it looks like a target 🎯
My quick take after only 48 hrs in Munich -- It immedietly feels like a great, dynamic, and special city in a way few others across the globe do (such as NY, London, Seoul, Buenos Aires). You walk around and think, a lot of interesting stuff goes on here that I would like to be around -- which I've never gotten from any other German city, not even from Berlin.
@yaabooma@CharmOfCulture Kronstadt, which is brasovs original name, was founded by the Teutonic Knights and later settled by Transylvanian Saxons (German settlers) in the early 13th century, who migrated from the Rhine-Moselle region. So they came from the same broad linguistic region as Heidelberg.
@rschgeboren@BavarianLord Ob Sprache oder Dialekt lässt sich linguistisch nie sauber bestimmen. Ist meistens eine politische Angelegenheit.

@MagicalEurope This castle’s iconic "wedding cake" look is thanks to the Schwarzenbergs, a prominent German-Bohemian noble family. In the 19th century, they hired Viennese architect Franz Beer to transform it into this Neo-Gothic masterpiece.
@Vashik007@thinkingfejlgk@benwehrman For centuries, Prague was a center of German culture. Until the 19th century, German was the primary language. The university was founded in 1348 as the first German university. Anyone who denies this is ignoring Prague’s rich, multi-ethnic history.
