Shopping
There are many products made in Germany which are
preferred by Americans. And there is no shortage of folks who, with your credit
card number and order, will send items to you.
Of course many food items are sold now in supermarkets
every day. My favorite brand of cookie is LU from Germany. The local supermarket
sells several varieties.
Candy can easily be shipped from Germany. So it can
even be purchased directly from Germany. It arrives in a week or less ready to
enjoy.
Here are links for web sites where you can computer
screen shop. The German word for window shopping is spatzerengehen. Perhaps the
Germans need a new word for online computer screen shopping. Is this a word?
onlinespatzerenclicken!
Sounds good to me. You saw it here first. Now on to the

How about a cuckoo clock? SOURCE
The History of the Black
Forest Cuckoo Clock
|
|
|
The first Black Forest Cuckoo Clock
was designed and made by Franz Anton Ketterer in the small village of
Schönwald near Triberg, Germany, in the depths of the Black Forest.
Ketterer managed to reproduce the cuckoo's call by the clever use of
bellows producing two different sounds.
Over the following years, the clock industry developed rapidly in the
Black Forest. With their inventive genius, cleverness and dexterity, the
inhabitants of the region employed the long winter months in making
cuckoo clocks with richly handcarved decorations from various woods. In
1808 there were already 688 clockmakers and 582 clock peddlars in the
districts of Triberg and Neustadt.
During the long winter months, the farms were snowed-in and the people
had a lot of time to create finely handcrafted cuckoo clocks of many
styles with rich and varied carvings.
The clocks that were made in winter
were sold by the clock peddlars in the summer months during long
journeys throughout Europe. The clocks were secured on a frame and
carried on the back. They were works of art, sought after luxuries that
conquered the hearts of people all over the world.
This ancient craft continued to
develop, becoming soon a flourishing industry. The poorly lit
"cabinets" on attic floors where watchmakers worked in the
past have become light and well-equipped workshops where clock movements
and cases are manufactured by upt-to-date methods. But the woodcarvings
are still handmade by skilled masters as they were 200 years ago. Old
clocks, original drawings of the first clocks etc. are still used and
modified as patterns for new models, but the cuckoo clock in its basic
form is 200 years old and has survived until now. The cuckoo clock
symbolizes the past, present and the future.
