German Bavaria - The Wonder Land

I was sitting in one of the chairs on the beach - the final table that overlooks the Indian Ocean.

I just saw all the objects in the sea, but raised the stars shining in the distance and thought back to my Bavarian good old Bavarian Alps

Now I could see some of the beautiful rivers in Bavaria. The Danube, Main, Inn and Isar passed so quietly. I could also see the largest lake in Bavaria, Lake Chiemsee with otherpicturesque lakes Starnberger See and Ammersee near Monaco of Bavaria, and at a certain distance from the Königssee in Berchtesgaden, which is surrounded by majestic mountains of the Alps to Lake Constance, one of the largest lakes in Europe, which is part of Bavaria, still light rays of the sun.

The panorama of scenic beauty near the Bavarian Alps lasted for many centuries has been flooded my mind too. Now I could with the mind's eye the mountains very impressive alpineZugspitze, the highest peak and offers a breathtaking view of several hundreds of peaks with a picturesque view of the four countries, Austria, Italy, Switzerland and Germany. Bavaria is one of the oldest states in Europe.

The ethnic group of the Bavarians had come to mingle with the Romans, Celts and Germans about 2500 years ago. Otto von Wittelsbach, founded the Free State of Bavaria. Hitler took power in 1933, and Bavaria is no longer an independent state. Once in GermanyDelivery in 1945, American forces occupied Bavaria.

The events were moving in my mind one after another until now Bavaria. Fredrik Wagner inspired me so much Monaco of Bavaria Bavaria and on our visit to the northern part of the tsunami. If I remember Fredrik Wagner, used to remind my opinion that the legendary Richard Wagner, German opera has revolutionized the music secondary dramatic action. Yet every year at the Bayreuth Wagner FestivalLocation - an event of high society. Most famous operas of Wagner's "Flying Dutchman, Der Ring des Nibelungen" and "Tristan und Isolde" are such fascinating works that could inspire everyone in the world.

Bavaria is the largest country of Germany with nearly 18 million people. Monaco of Bavaria, the capital of Bavaria with more than 1.2 million inhabitants is one of the most dynamic cities in Europe and the world. A number of German Praktikum (Internship) students in Bavaria saidto me that the culture in Bavaria is very different from the rest of Germany. She said that the differences are marked very quiet rural areas, but are less important in large cities.

Religious faith in the south of Bavaria is the predominant faith of Roman Catholicism, in contrast to the more Protestant Lutherans in northern parts of Bavaria. Students compared to the typical expression of greeting in Bavaria and Austria is as follows: "Hello!" which means Good morning. Bavariacould replace the current Pope Benedict XVI, his name Joseph Alois Ratzinger, the pride of Marktl am Inn in Bavaria.

But when I asked Fred Rieke Wagner, who practiced religion, he said simply: "I have no religion." I wondered, and could not decide whether a religion in the Roman Catholic practice, this means dominated Bavarian region or had made a joke to express.

I have heard that Bayern are similar to the inhabitants of Latin America and tend to be largeAttention to their physical appearance, as people move about in other parts of clothing in Germany. E 'fascinating to see in meetings in southern Bavaria, wear traditional clothes.

Bavarian city and community, be they rich or poor, are best cared for locations in Germany. The students also told me that Bavarians are very proud of their different dialects, and most of them speak with a Bavarian, Franconian or Swabian accent.

I also heard from someGerman students and others, which is the Christian Social Union, which ruled in Bavaria uninterruptedly since 1957, well within the major German political parties, which combines socially conservative positions with a commitment to global participation in the economy.
