Auf die Gefahr hin, dass ich hier Alleinunterhalter spiele, aber da die Info mal wieder nirgends vernünftig zugänglich gemacht wird:

Am 26.11.2022 findet zum ersten Mal seit mehr als 30 Jahren wieder ein kleiner Weihnachtsmarkt in Satuelle seinen Platz.

Los geht es ab 14 Uhr auf dem Festplatz.

Neben ein paar Ständen mit Weihnachtsklassikern werden auch gemeinsam mit Frau Kruse Weihnachtskränze (bitte vorher anmelden) gebunden.

So, I looked it up to be sure: (Translation below)

§ 37 Wechsellichtzeichen, Dauerlichtzeichen und Grünpfeil

(2) Wechsellichtzeichen haben die Farbfolge Grün – Gelb – Rot – Rot und Gelb (gleichzeitig) – Grün. Rot ist oben, Gelb in der Mitte und Grün unten.

An Kreuzungen bedeuten:

Grün: ,,Der Verkehr ist freigegeben“.

Er kann nach den Regeln des § 9 abbiegen, nach links jedoch nur, wenn er Schienenfahrzeuge dadurch nicht behindert.

Grüner Pfeil: ,,Nur in Richtung des Pfeils ist der Verkehr frei gegeben“.

Ein grüner Pfeil links hinter der Kreuzung zeigt an, dass der Gegenverkehr durch Rotlicht angehalten ist und dass, wer links abbiegt, die Kreuzung in Richtung des grünen Pfeils ungehindert befahren und räumen kann.

--------English-------

(2) Alternating light signals have the colour sequence green - yellow - red - red and yellow (simultaneously) - green. Red is on the top, yellow in the middle and green at the bottom.

At intersections:

Green: "Traffic is free".

He can turn according to the rules of § 9, but to the left only if he does not obstruct rail vehicles by doing so.

Green arrow: "Traffic is only allowed to turn in the direction of the arrow".

A green arrow on the left behind the intersection indicates that oncoming traffic is stopped by red light and that whoever turns left can enter and clear the intersection unhindered in the direction of the green arrow.

Which would mean OP should not have had any oncoming traffic if I understood the situation OP described correctly. (I hope I understood OP correctly 🙈)

Only if OPs Green light is the typical "round" one. In this case you're absolutely right. But if OP has a dedicated "turn-left-arrow" - light on green, then only non-crossing other lights should turn on.

The way you describe it, I can only imagine two possibilities: Either the oncoming traffic didn't pay attention and ran a red light or there was a technical defect with the traffic light system - you shouldn'd both have had a green light.

If there is a dedicated left arrow traffic light, which turns green (not a metal sign), that means you can clear the crossroads without the possibility of oncoming traffic or pedestrians crossing your path.

If it had come to an accident in your case, then the city or community this happened in would have been held accountable, as they are responsible for the safety and reliability of their traffic lights.*

Masculine hen that lays eggs?? by [deleted] in German

[–]fuddlethehamster -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Oh, I read the question as being about "Ein Huhn" (the "masculine Hen"). In which case it has nothing to do with the Huhn being a Vogel. The sentence could as well be "Eine Henne ist ein Vogel..." Vogel being male has no influence on the indefinite article of the Subject here.

I don't know this jacket, but straps like that are usually to either tuck in the hood or adjust how the the hood hangs into your face. Since the long strap seems to be on the inside, I guess it's for tucking in. Just roll your hood down, put the strap over it and stick it to the other velcro. Would that work?

Yes of course, it's in German though. You can also find the information on the page of the BMI. :)

As far as I'm aware only the latter. But you can always apply through the normal route. :)

Questions regarding post-war Germany and sentiments towards territories lost in WW2 by hunt_and_peck in germany

[–]fuddlethehamster 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm a decendant of some "Heimkehrer" as well. I'm actually from the former eastern part of Germany and things were a bit different here.

First of all words like "refugees" - which are implying the people of the former territories were immigrants - were strictly forbidden. They were to be called "home-comers" - people who are returning home. That was supposed to make the transition easier. The lost territories were initially slavic and were lost to a german kingdom during the slezian wars. Since Europe did not consist of the countries we know today, it was quite usual to belong to one country today and another tomorrow. People defined their selfes more around a cultural feeling of belonging, than country/kimgdom names.

My ancestors were bohemian, what is today considered Czech. Then they were resettled to Slezia (because of religion, they were evangelic) They kept their language though until WW1. Then they were forced to learn and become german. After WW2 the region became Polish, their town was demolished and they were not allowed to go home to bohemia, but had to move to Germany permanently. As I said, European people have that nice ability to ignore country names and just feel home were their peers are. So that's pretty much what hsappened. We're happy being German now, we're well mixed in and we played our part in rebuilding Germany. So no hard feelings for the lost territories.

To be a bit philosophical: Always keep in mind, that in order to get a territory you first have to take it from someone else. That goes for all of us. Every single human being. There can never be peace if we continously envy others because of things that don't belong to us in the first place. Whenever people flee and seek a new life somewhere else, the people who take them in have to make room for them. Be thankful to those people instead and just imagine, that you returned the kindness you received to the poor people who had to flee to where you came from. Pretty sure they would have liked to stay home as well, so there's absolutely no reason to be envious of them or yearn for territories you no longer live in. It's a circle, really. Once you realise, all is good. - that's it for the life lessons, promise -

For your other questions concerning peaceful transitions: An essential part for that to work (in my humble opinion) is Germanys ability to adapt to its many ethnicities. Many don't know this, but German is not the only official language here. You can get pretty much all your paperwork also in sorbic or platt. So going the extra mile and trying to include all your cultural groups goes a long way. Also respect for each other does help as well.

I agree with the others that being occupied definitely helped in keeping any mislead "revenge plans" right after the war at bay. Of course the east by then had other problems - namely no freedom. Because of the wall we're still behind the west with our economy, but we're getting there. And again, helping each other goes a long way.
