Der Winterabend
Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben (1798-1874)
Der Winterabend, das ist die Zeit
der Arbeit und der Fröhlichkeit.
Wenn die andern nähen, stricken und spinnen,
dann müßen wir Kinder auch was beginnen;
wir dürfen nicht müßig sitzen und ruhn,
wir haben auch unser Teil zu tun.
Wir müßen zu morgen uns vorbereiten
und vollenden unsere Schularbeiten.
Und sind wir fertig mit Lesen und Schreiben,
dann können wir unsere Kurzweil treiben…
Und ist der Abend auch noch so lang,
wir kürzen ihn mit Spiel und Gesang.
Und wer ein hübsches Rätsel kann,
der sagts, und wir fangen zu raten an.

Movie Night

November 28, 2009

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009, 8pm

Zur Feier des Beginns der Weihnachtzeit zeigt das German House am Mittwoch (2.12) um 20:00 Uhr die „Feuerzanganbowle“. Der Klassiker mit vielen praktischen Tips und Tricks den Unterricht für Lehrkräftere und/oder Studierende witziger zu gestalten! Nach einem Drehbuch von Erich Kästner.

This Wednesday at 8pm: „Die Feherzangenbowle.“ This is the story of Johannes Pfeiffer, who must realize that home schooling made him miss the best part of school: Playing practical jokes on your teachers. This film contains many a valuable lesson on how to increase the comic value of any of the classes you‘ll be attending this semester! Don‘t miss it!

Unfortunately only German subtitles available!
Oh yeah, this is a feature, not a bug!

Gerrit Roessler presents:

Raumpatrouille Orion

A 90 minute made-for-theater edit of the 1968 German SciFi show „The Adventures of the Spaceship Orion“ combines several of the 7 original episodes into one story line and gives a glimpse into the charm and cult factor of what is often referred to as the „German Star Trek.“

Now is the time to get in your applications for living in the German House in the year 2010-11. The application deadline is Nov. 13th.

If you would like more information, please contact Astrid Kaemmerling (ack2ac@virginia.edu).

Living in the German House means speaking German on an everyday basis, thus improving your language skills and picking up the language as people in Germany really speak it. Additionally, as a German House resident you will participate in cultural events such as movie nights, game nights, the Oktoberfest and Karneval parties, dinners and house trips (for example apple picking, tubing, ice-skating).

Application forms for living in the German house can be found here – just hand them in at the German Department office.
