Schluchsee Dam
The Schluchsee is a reservoir lake in the district of Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald, southeast of the Titisee in the Black Forest near Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany. Name In the Alemannic dialects of the region the name of the lake is the ''Schluechs'' or ''Schlues'' . Badisches Wörterbuch, Vol. IV, p. 622 f. Historical sources also spell it with a diphthong: 983 ''lacus Sluochse'', 1095 ''Schluochsee'', 1125 ''predium Sluocse'', 1312 ''der sê ze Sluoze''. Thus it cannot be claimed that the name, as is often asserted, from the Middle High German ''slûch'' ="pipe, tube" (Alemannic ''Schluuch''), because in this case in the present dialect and the historical sources no diphthong was available. Albert Krieger links the name to the Middle High German ''sluocht'' "ravine". But this meaning is also not accurate. Location The Schluchsee, with its height of above sea level, is the highest reservoir in Germany and also the largest lake in the Black Forest. By contrast, t ...

Card Games
A card game is any game using playing cards as the primary device with which the game is played, be they traditional or game-specific. Countless card games exist, including families of related games (such as poker). A small number of card games played with traditional decks have formally standardized rules with international tournaments being held, but most are folk games whose rules vary by region, culture, and person. Traditional card games are played with a ''deck'' or ''pack'' of playing cards which are identical in size and shape. Each card has two sides, the ''face'' and the ''back''. Normally the backs of the cards are indistinguishable. The faces of the cards may all be unique, or there can be duplicates. The composition of a deck is known to each player. In some cases several decks are shuffled together to form a single ''pack'' or ''shoe''. Modern card games usually have bespoke decks, often with a vast amount of cards, and can include number or action cards. This t ...

Alcoholic Beverage
An alcoholic beverage (also called an alcoholic drink, adult beverage, or a drink) is a drink that contains ethanol, a type of alcohol that acts as a drug and is produced by fermentation of grains, fruits, or other sources of sugar. The consumption of alcoholic drinks, often referred to as "drinking", plays an important social role in many cultures. Most countries have laws regulating the production, sale, and consumption of alcoholic beverages. Regulations may require the labeling of the percentage alcohol content (as ABV or proof) and the use of a warning label. Some countries ban such activities entirely, but alcoholic drinks are legal in most parts of the world. The global alcoholic drink industry exceeded $1 trillion in 2018. Alcohol is a depressant, which in low doses causes euphoria, reduces anxiety, and increases sociability. In higher doses, it causes drunkenness, stupor, unconsciousness, or death. Long-term use can lead to an alcohol use disorder, an incre ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Germany National Football Team Manager
The Germany national football team manager (German: ''Bundestrainer'', literally 'Federal Coach' or 'Association Coach') is a position created in 1926 and first held by Otto Nerz. The German team began playing matches in 1908, but for 18 years it had no manager. Instead a selection committee chose the team. The current manager, Hansi Flick, took over the team following the UEFA Euro 2020. Eleven men have occupied the post since its inception, all of whom are German. Seven of the eleven have previously played for the national team, the exceptions being Nerz, Erich Ribbeck, Joachim Löw, and Hansi Flick. Many of the managers previously served as assistant to their predecessor; each of the three managers after Nerz had worked under the previous incumbent, Löw, was assistant to Jürgen Klinsmann from 2004 to 2006, and the current manager, Hansi Flick, was assistant to Löw from 2006 to 2014.

Waldshut-Tiengen
Waldshut-Tiengen (; gsw, label=Alemannic, Waldshuet-Düenge, italic=no), commonly known as Waldshut, is a city in southwestern Baden-Württemberg right at the Swiss border. It is the district seat and at the same time the biggest city in Waldshut district and a "middle centre" in the area of the "high centre" Lörrach/Weil am Rhein to whose middle area most towns and communities in Waldshut district belong (with the exception of seven communities that belong to Bad Säckingen's area). There are furthermore complexities arising from cross-border traffic between this area and the Swiss cantons of Aargau, Schaffhausen and Zürich. This classification relates to Walter Christaller's Central Place Theory, however, and not to any official administrative scheme. The city, which was newly created in the framework of the 1975 municipal reform, at that time passed the 20,000 mark in population. City council then applied to have the city raised to ''Große Kreisstadt'', which the government ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
