Gingerbread is very popular during Christmas time and the gingerbread house originated in Germany. Some German foods are bratwurst (sausage), sauerkraut (cabbage), goulash (beef/pork) served with noodles, and schnitzel (pork/veal). Today, I will have you sample chocolate, gummy bears, and cookies all from Germany. ALDI, originated in Germany, is a local store that sells German products.

  12. 2. Hohenzollern Castle During a trip to Italy, Frederick William IV of Prussia, was passing through Southern Germany and felt the need to learn more about the history of his family.. He climbed to the top of Mount Hohenzollern and decided it was the perfect spot to build a memorial for the powerful dynasty.

  14. German Music Classical German music is performed around the world more than any other music. There are many famous German composers. Three of them are Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, and Richard Wagner.

  15. The following videos are examples of classical German music, composed by two famous composers, Johann Sebastian Bach and Ludwig Von Beethoven. • If you have watched cartoons before you have probably heard a lot of classical music. Cartoons would actually be pretty boring without music.

  16. Toccata and Fugue by Bach

  17. Ode to Joy by Beethoven

  18. German Traditions • Germany has many traditions that are celebrated. • On the first day of 1st grade parents give their children Schultuetes. These are treat bags with goodies and school supplies. The bags are shaped like a cone. • A Christmas tradition originating from Germany is the Christmas Pickle. It is the last ornament put onto the tree and whichever child finds the pickle first receives and extra gift from St. Nicholas. My family follows this tradition and the last 2 years my brother Connor has found the pickle first. 2012 is going to be my year.
