In my search for a radio with (modern) German songs I found a radio ( Die Neue 107.7) that has a story broadcast at 2 in the morning (German time). I have yet to discover the name but it is easy to follow even for beginners since they speak slow and clearly. I wasn't aware radio still broadcasted stories. It's very interesting!
Thank you for letting me know, i’m sure you’ll help lots of people who are searching for something like that!

Honestly, as a German I can not quite understand the obsession of the English speaking world with the question whether a word exists or not. If you have to express something for which there is no word, you have to make a new one, preferably by combining well-known words, and in the very same moment it starts to exist. Agree?
Deutsche Freunde, could you please create for me a word for the extreme depression I feel when I bend down to pick up a piece of litter and discover two more pieces of litter?

Staatliches Bauhaus, also known simply as Bauhaus, was a German art school operational from 1919 to 1933 that combined crafts and the fine arts. It was famous for the approach to design that it publicized and taught. All in all, it probably was the most influential modernist art school of the 20th century, one whose approach to teaching, and understanding art’s relationship to society and technology, had a major impact on Western societies long after the actual school closed. It was shaped by 19th and 20th centuries trends such as the Arts and Crafts movement, which had sought to level the distinction between fine and applied arts, and to reunite creativity and manufacturing. This is reflected in the romantic medievalism of the school’s early years, in which it pictured itself as a kind of medieval crafts guild. By the mid 1920s, this gave way to trying to unite art and industrial design — it was this which ultimately proved to be its most original and important achievement. The school is also renowned for its faculty, which included artists Wassily Kandinsky, Josef Albers, László Moholy-Nagy, Paul Klee, and Johannes Itten, architects Walter Gropius and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and designer Marcel Breuer.

Der wahre Horror fängt erst an
Nein, der fällt aus und kommt erst 2 stunden später mit dem übernächsten Zug.
Die Ansage kommt aber erst 3 Minuten vor Abfahrt und der Zug fährt vom Gleis am anderen Ende des Bahnhofs.
Und in umgekehrter Wagenreihung.
Und wie immer im Sommer ohne funktionierende Klimaanlage.
Sehr geehrte Fahrgäste, leider sind die Toiletten im Großraumwagen außer Funktion. Wir bitten um Ihr Verständnis.
Everything you may know about Germans - punctuality, organitzation, awesome technology, etc - DEFINITELY doesn't apply to the Deutsche Bahn.

In german we don’t say “It’s not my cup of tea” we say “Das ist nicht mein Bier” which translates to “This is not my beer” and if this isn’t the most german shit you can say then I don’t know what to tell you
