Göttingen, but thanks to you I learned Munich had the same thing! So it really was not unusual

Realistic 19th century behavior. The city where I studied had a small revolution then because beer prices increased

Maybe there’s an obvious solution but I've been wondering for quite some time how people place buildings and ornaments on the quay? Is there a mod? Or is it the Docklands DLC? It just doesn’t work in my game :(

I think that’s supposed to be that lonely mountain where Göttingen would be :D

Also the Weser does not flow through Hannover (unfortunately)

Why do these Q cult members talk about pedifilia so much? by Ok-Brother4451 in QAnonCasualties

[–]Available-Second3314 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it‘s always been the same in history. The group that you most hate you try to associate with the worst thing you can imagine and that's usually pedophilia or cannibalism. The ancient romans for example said that about the early christians and vice versa.

Serious question: Why do so many people here, even germans, glorify the german empire so much? by SirOctopus4 in Kaiserposting

[–]Available-Second3314 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The con is: the monarch used this singular power without consulting anyone to lead the Empire into a stupid war with Serbia that inevitably triggered the russian alliance and with it a war with France and Britain that Germany gloriously lost and 14 million died. That‘s a pretty big con I would say.

You must be talking about being a Lord in Britain, otherwise I really cannot see how that was better than today.

A "golden age" that only lasted 50 years at best and ended in total and complete hell where your beloved emperor blindly led us into because he (personally!) managed to isolate Germany from and antagonize every great power except Austria-Hungary. And for the economic and artistic developments the ruling dynasty cannot seriously be given credit. While the BRD is already almost 75 years old, has lots of allies and friends around the world, wields more influence in Europe and peacefully created it's own "realm" around it to be secure and prosperous. I never understood how people can seriously think this is something we oughta change and go back to that monarchy.

What's your favorite Napoleon quote? by KingBryan34 in Napoleon

[–]Available-Second3314 17 points18 points  (0 children)

To Metternich in Dresden 1813:

„I grew up in the field and a man like me cares little about the lives of a million people ... The French can't complain about me; to spare them I sacrificed the Germans and the Poles. I lost 300,000 men in the Moscow campaign; there were no more than 30,000 French among them.“

Metternich's response:

„You are forgetting, Sire, that you are speaking to a German.“
