About this event
One of 8 upcoming events at Olde Forge Restaurant, and 747 across the Berkshires.
It’s one of the longest words in German and something to consider on National German Language Day, which occurs on the second Saturday of September. “Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz” may seem like gibberish to the non-German language speaker. In actuality, this word (which we won’t even attempt to pronounce) is now obsolete. It translates as “Beef labeling monitoring delegation Act.” And yet, today, we mourn its loss. German is the language of poets Bertolt Brecht, Rainer Maria Rilke and the classic Weimar-era cinema. To promote the language and encourage more people to learn it, the German Language Association (VDS) created this day, helping to revive the speaking of German across the globe. What a great day to drink a German Beer! [table id=11 filter="Germany" filter_columns="5" /]
