  Welcome to East German Shepherd Dog Central!
EAST GERMAN SHEPHERD CENTRAL is devoted to the German Shepherd Dog of the former East Germany, the Deutsche Demokratische Republik or "DDR" (1949-1990).
The DDR was a political, social, economic, and geographic entity that was physically solidified with the tragically oppressive construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961, and which began its political and physical dissolution with the history-making and liberating fall of that barrier on November 9, 1989.
These modern representatives of the German Shepherd Dog breed, with a genetic heritage in the former DDR bloodlines, have their true provenance determined by the place of their actual birth.

  German language - Wikipedia
German (called Deutsch in German; in German the term germanisch is equivalent to English Germanic), is a member of the western group of Germanic languages and is one of the world's major languages.
German is a member of the western branch of the Germanic family of languages, which in turn is part of the Indo-European language family.
Central German dialects include Ripuarian, Luxembourgish, Moselle Franconian, Rhine Franconian, Hessian, Thuringian, and Upper Saxon, and are spoken in the southeastern Netherlands, eastern Belgium, Luxembourg, parts of France, and in Germany approximately between the River Main and the southern edge of the Lowlands.

 Central German language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Central German (in German: Mitteldeutsch, or rarely Zentraldeutsch) is a group of High German dialects spread from the Rhineland to Thuringia, south of Low German and north of Upper German.
In older textbooks, Central German is sometimes called Middle German.
Central German is distinguished by having experienced only the first and fourth phases of the High German consonant shift.

 High German - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
High German (in German, Hochdeutsch) is any of several German dialects spoken in Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, and Luxembourg (as well as in neighbouring portions of Belgium, France (Alsace), Italy, Poland, and Romania (Transylvania) and in some areas of former colonial settlement, for example in Namibia).
The German term Hochdeutsch is also used loosely, but not by linguists, to mean standard written German as opposed to dialect, because the standard language developed out of High rather than Low German.
The name "High German" contrasts with "Low German", a term variously used to refer to the Low Saxon dialects originating from around the Baltic city of Lübeck; these dialects together with the Low Franconian languages (Dutch, West Flemish, and Afrikaans); or all of the Western Germanic languages other than High German (including English and Frisian).

 Graf > Graf Eberstein > About German Nobility
In the last decades of the German Empire, in imitation of the English system, a few families were ennobled with titles that passed on only to the eldest son, the remainder retaining either their father's former title (which he also still carried) or just untitled nobility.
Through most of German history, there was only one of these, the Holy Roman Emperor of the German Nation, lasting from the crowning of Charlemagne in the year 800 through the renunciation of the last emperor, Franz II, in 1806 under the influence of Napoleon, who by then had proclaimed himself Emperor of the French.
Not every German noble family is included, as most often the family concerned must contribute financially to its inclusion, or the family may be too small, poor, or unwilling to warrant repeated updating.

In this paper we would like to propose another interpretation of the German case, which is based on the study of the behaviour of big companies in Germany since the mid-1980s.[1] We will put forward three main arguments, which make up the remaining part of the paper.
The delegation of bargaining rights from the central to the plant level has been a process of enabling plant-level actors to deal with issues which were principally reserved for the associations.
The central collective agreement, which used to be the main piece of regulation on which the standardization of the terms and conditions of German employees rested, has turned into a document which offers guidance to remuneration, but leaves considerable scope as to its regulation at the plant level.

Unfortunately, because of pressure from the Germans in the northern part of the Second Army bridgehead, the British were having trouble completing their bridges at Xanten and were therefore bringing most of their traffic across the river at Wesel.

It is further divided into the ancient nobility (Uradel) and the newer nobility (commonly known as Briefadel, or literally nobility by letter-cachet, but also including other groups.) The Uradel may be of either the lower or high nobility, but the Briefadel is always of the lower.
This level of the nobility is made up of those houses which were ennobled since the beginning of the 15th Century through the end of the German or Austrian Empires in 1918.

Yet in spite of all of these obstacles, or maybe because of them, the AP German students are among the best prepared and the most successful of all AP students.

I believe strongly that structured viewing of German films (Die Weiße Rose, Männer, and Lola rennt have become highlights for my students), a selection of '70s, '80s, and '90s songs, newspaper and magazine articles, Internet research for class projects, and preparation and discussions of contemporary short stories should be part of an AP syllabus.
