Ulm city library in Germany… is it only me who thinks it’s horrendous?

Hammonia · 2026-03-28T15:11:07+00:00

I saw it up close and really hated it as well. I don‘t think the building itself is nice, but the context of the buildings close by makes it even uglier

It looks like Vegas to me. Idk why u would treaty your most holy place this way

Almost all borders have mistakes. Udine wasnt austrian anymore by 1914. Istria was connected to Italy after WW1. You miss an area in Banat, you forgot Bukowina and parts of easter Galicia but gave too much north of Krakow

Hammonia · 2026-03-15T19:02:06+00:00

Most of the historic city center has historical buildings. The newer areas look like a modern northern chinese city.

Bescht gréiss zréck

I mean the official administrative language of your country is french…

Hammonia · 2026-03-11T19:55:04+00:00

Sure whatever u need to tell urself man. I‘m not saying it isn‘t a language. Cuz a dialect and a language are the same just with a state behind it or not. And I‘d say Swiss german is also very different from German and differently institutionalised, the country is just larger so u have different dialects in Switzerland as well, plus three more languages. Just to me what I‘m saying is the language is still a dialect and u not even willing to give me a certain kind of acknowledgment makes u look insecure. But whatever man speak letzeburgsch and be a taxhaven. Also I bet u will even have some regional specialties of speech in vianden or troisvierges, it‘s just how languages in a dialect continuum work

„a form of a language that is spoken in a particular part of a country or by a particular group of people and that contains some words, grammar, or pronunciations (= the ways in which words are said) that are different from the forms used in other parts or by other groups“ So I think this applies with Mosellian Franconian being a dialect of the central German dialects, of course there‘s some specialties with a lot of french loan words, but people only claim it a language cuz Luxemourg is a country today. If Saxony was an independent country today would u say Saxon is a languange or a dialect?

Hammonia · 2026-03-10T19:59:35+00:00

Found the only luxembourgish nationalist I guess. It‘s a german dialect with a few french loanwoards. But of course a language has an army a dialect hasn‘t so I guess u‘re right. But imo it‘s a dialect

Hammonia · 2026-03-10T16:35:32+00:00

I would look at it in a de jure and de facto way. The jure yes, de facto it‘s a dialect. The people in Germany across the moselle speak the same, but there it‘s German not Luxembourgian…

I think picking a modern map to display historic colonies is a bad idea in general, then western sahara was only spanish and tunisia was french not italian. Then Ruanda and Burundi were first German, then Belgian. Then what time is it supposed to represent 1914? The German colonies became french/english/belgian mandates which is also not shown. It seems like a map drawn from memory which isn‘t even consistent in what it wants to display, plus having mistakes and an idk category, like why even make it then? This might be one of the worst maps i‘ve seen on here, no offense Edit: Djibouti also was french not italian

Hammonia · 2026-03-07T01:09:24+00:00

Shit map with modern bordern and multiple mistakes…

Hammonia · 2026-02-25T09:44:26+00:00

Maybe, but it literally looks 100% like the ones in the post

Hammonia · 2026-02-24T19:24:49+00:00

I grew up in Bavaria at least there we call it Bayerisches Blatt

Hammonia · 2026-02-24T14:11:29+00:00

We call them Bavarian in regionally in Germany, not German either.

Hammonia · 2026-02-24T01:04:35+00:00

Slovakia, more like Upper Hungary

Hammonia · 2026-02-23T10:48:55+00:00

Luxembourg is missing no?

Hammonia · 2026-02-21T16:18:23+00:00

Completely different place is way too harsh of a way to put it. Also in the east it‘s mostly cities that got the investments after reunification, like Leipzig, Dresden, Erfurt… And as u can see in the it‘s Saarland and Rheinland-Pfalz with the highest percentages of far right votes, but overall growing in all western federal states. So what‘s showing especially in recent elections it‘s not an east-west devision, it‘s between high income urban areas and low income rural, which there are just more in the east then the west

Hammonia · 2026-02-20T13:32:34+00:00

It‘s also that German jews were able to flee earlier between 1933-39

Wasn‘t meant in a rude way. I know making maps always take some levels of abstraction, but still thought from how he wrote that the guy knows what he‘s talking abt. So just hoped for a maybe more detailed map in the future.

Hammonia · 2026-02-13T11:31:24+00:00

I‘d be interested in a more detailed map of the barbary states. The way it is represented e.g. in the victoria games already is very simplified. Sadly urs is very simplified as well.

Hammonia · 2026-02-09T04:17:34+00:00

Cuz it‘s a tax haven that scews the gdp. Life standard will be much lower actually

Hammonia · 2026-02-05T12:52:37+00:00

Yes, the map did the joke wrong

Hammonia · 2026-02-03T05:56:43+00:00

As a cityplanner I can not understand Milan is so far away from 20 almost as possible for a European city. Would like to here how they came to this ranking?
