I'm german but I've never ever heard of neither the island, nor the trains. How remarkable!

  Maybe it's because you live in a forest! ;-)

    Now, this comment is proof that Germans can have a sense of humour.
    • baxtr 8y ago
      Yes, but only on Thursday evenings!
• k__ 8y ago
  Same here, but I have to admit I also from the Odenwald :D

  "German" und "English" usw. immer groß schreiben. FYI.

    Is it different in German? Just curious.
    • mitchty 8y ago
      Yes, all nouns are capitalized.

        More to the point, though, adjectival forms of proper nouns are not. (a German man = ein deutscher Mann)

  German north is really very different from German south.
  • baxtr 8y ago
    Yeah... someone said the other day that if they had divided Germany into south/north instead of east/west, there would have not been a reunion. Maybe that’s true

      I've heard it commonly said in Austria: in Bavaria, you have left Austria, but you're not yet in Germany...
      • opinionator1 8y ago
        I wonder what they meant by that. I've heard that Bavaria is the most German state of Germany.
        • baxtr 8y ago
          It’s similar to Texas. Quite German, but then again some people dream to be independent. It is also called “Freistaat Bayern”, “Free state of Bavaria”

    Not as much if you compare urban to urban parts and rural to rural ones. Frisian island folk and the inhabitants of remote Alpine valleys have more in common with each other than both do with Hamburg or Stuttgart.

      They would never admit that
