057: The Currywurst

The Currywurst. Or perhaps “curry-ketchup sausage” are as common in Germany as perhaps hamburgers in the States. It’s a beloved snack, and an after-party savior. Currywurst has an interesting post-war history, and even started from an American GI influence in Berlin (or Hamburg)—yet never made it back to the US. Except when you buy Heinz Curryketschup in a German Delikatessen.See all our projects here: http://www.podcastnik.com/Check out our new show, Past Access! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXQKBE0TD34qtifjeemA_5gTwitter Podcastnik https://twitter.com/podcastnikTwitter Judith https://twitter.com/meet_judithTwitter Travis Dow https://twitter.com/travisjdowTwitter Heirlooms — History of Germany https://twitter.com/germanypodcastAnd in Arabic! https://twitter.com/HG_ArabicTravis is apparently having a mid-life crisis and is learning to make candy in Germany, help him get through it by supporting him.

056: The Stone Bridge of Regensburg

The stone bridge in Regensburg, built in 1135, has been through a lot. It's the oldest standing bridge in Germany and also spans some 300 meters. It's an heirloom of German history that even has its own lore around it. Swedes destroying one of its guard towers, Nazis blowing up a portion to stop American troops, medieval executions. Enough events and legends that it needed its own episode. Also, Regensburg is amazing.The "podcard"--as the kids are calling it--came from Klaudia Zotzmann-Koch. Author and podcaster extraordinaire, resident of Vienna, but from an area we recently covered (Episode 51), she gives us more insight into the area. https://www.zotzmann-koch.com/buecher/ (I believe all in German)https://www.zotzmann-koch.com/blog-podcasts/ (in German)A lot happened in the last year!

055: Staufer (Hohenstaufen) I: Conrad III and the 2nd Crusade

The first monarch to start off the Staufer dynasty (often Hohenstaufen in English after their castle) is Conrad III. His reign is marked by difficulties and spends time practically to poor to leave Parma, starts his career as an anti-king, goes to Jerusalem as a pilgrim, and later as a crusader. And not even an Emperor is above Malaria.support the show: podcastnikshop.comNew Past Access on podcastnik.com or on YouTube@germanypodcast @podcastnik on Twitter
