Wirst du an der TU oder an der Hochschule studieren?

@@nadijung7503 ich habe es vor, an der TU Informatik zu studieren.

@@hariszaheer1212 Cool, die TU ist eine sehr gute Universität. Ich habe auch vor ab 2021 in Darmstadt zu studieren, ebenfalls Informatik, aber an der Fachhochschule. Ich hoffe dass du dort viel Spaß haben wirst, vielleicht sieht man sich ja mal ✌

@@nadijung7503 danke, bis dann 😃

+gebofiction same here :D

BTW have you ever visited Bremen?

+FiveOClockTea Yup. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jdd-eJp3st_SfaM.html

+rewboss Thank you so much! I'm sorry, I hadn't seen it before... I'm going to go look at it at once!! :D

just google it.

+Dwarven sphere No, most parts of the city were destroyed in WW2 by the Red Army and after it became a soviet exclave, almost all old buildings were demolished. The old city of Königsberg vanished and was replaced with a socialst model colony, with inhabitants from all soviet republics. Today the city center contains only of standardized apartment buildings and parks. Only a few buildings and ruins remain from old Königsberg, the most prominent is the medieval cathedral which was reconstructed after the fall of the iron curtain (with russian and german money). The only reson why the Soviets didn't destroyed it was, that the tomb of Immanuel Kant is situated there and they saw him as a predecessor of Friedrich Hegel, who was predecessor of Karl Marx. So, Kant protected his hometown even after his death...

Gemeint war, dass das Kollegiengebäude für die Verwaltung gebaut war -- es war nämlich Sitz der Ministerien. Es ist nämlich Darmstadts ältestes Verwaltungsgebäude.

Well, the Fachhochschulen themselves all use "University of Applied Sciences" as their official English title. TU Darmstadt uses the German phrase on its English website, but other academic websites use "Technical University of Darmstadt" and "Darmstadt University of Technology" in roughly equal measure.

rewboss so it seems as if there is no common consensus about this. At least I know that the TU Braunschweig insists to *not* be called a technical university :)

The TU Darmstadt insists on the German phrase in all publications and communications. Always hard to explain to my non-german co-workers. ^^

The other way round

+Burak Mazi Probably because of the Princess Luise Henriette Karoline of Hessen-Darmstadt, who was quite popular back then.

+Burak Mazi Luise was a quite popular name in 19th century German aristocracy (and probably in Germany in general), so there were multiple occasions for happy subjects to devote buildings, squares, roads, etc. to their benevolent rulers (or more precisely their wives and daughters). ;) Accordingly, Luisenplatz in Darmstadt and the one in Wiesbaden are named after different Luises, both the wives of the ruler of the country at the time.

+etvdzs Its both pronounced with an "S".

+book5ter Thanks! Just to be clear, I'm asking about how it's typically pronounced in the English-speaking world. Due to German's regular spelling system, it's easier for me to determine the correct pronunciation in German than in my native language. Honestly, the last time I've heard anybody here actually use the word "hessian" in real life was back when I was in primary school, when we used to pin items to a hessian-covered noticeboard. If my memory serves me correctly, we pronounced it with a "sh" sound, but it's all so long ago that I don't know whether to trust my memory or not ^^

-I don't mean to be too picky, but I believe Hess is a Laender, which is sort of like an American state or a province. Bundes refers to the nation (eg Bundestag, Bundesrepublik) so you have some weird synecdoche going on there.- And to be honest I don't think there's a "proper" pronunciation for Hess cloth, like that of garage or other loan words; nor is there a proper spelling variation for "colour" or "factorisation". Go with your regional ways and be happy with it; or go with the German way and be happy with that too :)

+Anolaana Seranaar Oops, double checked it and apparently Laender and Bundesland are the same thing, disregard the first paragraph.

+Anolaana Seranaar Exactly! The Länder of the Bund. Whose Länder? Bund's Länder, in German connected, plus one "e" --> Bundesländer

Mein Beileid!

@@j.a6833 Danke!

+lithiumdeuterid I prefer the term "Rectal Town" :D

+MegaChaosGelee I prefer "gut town".

Intestine City.

ShitFest would do fine possibly?..

Heavenly Troopers Darm does not mean shit. Stadt does not mean festival. Your translation is a complete and utter failure.
