How Bavaria is different from How Bavaria is different from
the rest of Germany? I am
going to visit Austria and
Munchen this summer. I suspect
that Bavaria in terms of
language, culture, and
historical traditions closer
to Austria than Germany. Are
there any cities in Northern
Germany that really different
from Bavaria? How accurate my
impression of Germany would be
after visiting Munich? In
other words, is this a
Bavarian city/capital or a
German city?

Bavaria - the countryside where I live in - is probably more liberal than you would expect. Bavaria is a big state (in fact, Germany's biggest), and we're used to doing things our own way and we're famous for not caring about the federal government. Some people call us "little Texas", and maybe that's what we are. The famous German writer Goethe (or was it Schiller?) named us "a stubborn mountain folk", but whoever it was, he copied from an ancient Roman writer who wrote the same. We're not really conservative here; when I was a young voter, it was Bavarians who first voted the Greens into regional parliaments. Here in Bavaria, we're not much concerned about federal politics, unless it concerns us; and I think and sincerely hope that in this year's federal elections, Bavaria will take revenge on those politicians who cheated and mistreated us and the German people. Be ready for a surprise. Bavaria is big, and we have common vote here. We ousted the long-lasting conservative government in our state by just a few percent, but we did it. Who says we can't oust the federal government? |

How many sides does the Daniel A sculptor is trying to
determine how may sides the
Daniel Tower of the St.
George's Church in Nordlingen
Bavaria, Germany, has? I am
trying to help find the answer
and haven't been able to find
the information on Google.
Also, would anyone have a
photo of the inside they would
be willing to share? Thank
you.
The sculptor seems to think
there are either 6 or 8 sides.
Thanks for the search clue. I
did read the English Wikipedia
but there was no mention of
the interior structure that I
could see describing.

I think it has four sides, like any square building has. You can find good information about the "Daniel" tower in the German Wikipedia; the English version (as an exception this time) is of little use. Nördlingen and the Nördlinger Ries is a landscape about which geologists say it has been created by a meteorite impact, like the Arizona crater, thus disproving creationists' belief that the earth is only 6,000 years old. The name of the Daniel tower is said to be from the Book of Daniel in the Bible, 2:48. The German Wikipedia quotes it, but I don't have an English translation. It says, as far as I understand it, that "he (the Lord) made him (Daniel) the king of the land". -- edit: Some more hints for further investigation: Copy the word Nördlingen from here if you don't have the o with the dots on your keyboard. And "Saint George" is "Sankt Georg" in German. -- edit: You may possibly mean the choir, or the interior of the church, not the tower. Churches in those days were often shaped like an octagon, that means with eight sides, and the German Wikipedia gives a very detailed description of the architecture, but I'm awfully sorry that although I understand what they mean, my humble knowledge of English doesn't allow for a translation. I'd suggest you use some online translation service; I'm not an expert in architectural terms, so I have to surrender here. |

jrobuck13, You did not tell us what period of history you are interested in. But, judging from you interest in the post-Napoleonic split that separated Belgium from teh Netherlands, I am guessing that you are talking about 1815+. In that era, the lands between the Netherlands and Bavaria were all part of the German Confederation, which lasted from 1815 until the Austro-Prussian War of 1866. Go to the link below for detailed maps and explanations of the various principalities, etc., along the border with France, all the way from the Netherlands to Bavaria. You will see that Prussia controlled all of the German lands along the Netherlands' south-eastern border. Between those Prussian-controlled lands and Bavaria, there were the following territories: - the Duchy and Principality of Nassau, Usingen and Nassau-Weilburg; the Electorate of Hesse-Cassell; the Grand Duchy of Hesse-Darmstadt; the Grand Duchy of Baden; the Free City of Frankfurt-am-Main. |
