Rolf Langenfass
Rolf is a male given name and a surname. It originates in the Germanic name ''Hrolf'', itself a contraction of ''Hrodwulf'' ( Rudolf), a conjunction of the stem words ''hrod'' ("renown") + ''wulf'' ("wolf"). The Old Norse cognate is ''Hrólfr''. An alternative but less common variation of ''Rolf'' in Norway is ''Rolv''. The oldest evidence of the use of the name Rolf in Sweden is an inscription from the 11th century on a runestone in Forsheda, Småland. The name also appears twice in the Orkneyinga sagas, where a scion of the jarls of Orkney, Gånge-Rolf, is said to be identical to the Viking Rollo who captured Normandy in 911.

The latter is regarded as a first king and eponymous anchestor of Nórway. After a fierce duell (Holmgang) where none is able to overcome the other, Hrolf and Nór becom ...

JJ1, also known as Bruno in the German press (some newspapers also gave the bear different names, such as Beppo or Petzi), is believed to have been the first brown bear on German soil in 170 years. Origin JJ1 was originally part of an European Union, EU-funded €1 million Conservation movement, conservation project in Italy, but had walked across to Austria and into Germany. A spokesman said that there had been "co-ordination" between Italy, Austria and Slovenia to ensure the bear's welfare but apparently Germany had not been informed.''Private Eye'', issue 1162, p. 5.

The Rotwand ("Red Wall") is a 1,884 m high peak in the Mangfall Mountains in Bavaria, the highest summit in the Spitzingsee region and one of the most popular of Munich's local mountains (''Hausberge''). The summit may be reached in an easy hike from the lake of Spitzingsee on various routes (e. g. through the ''Pfanngraben'' gorge with its picturesque whirlpools).Walter and Michael Pause, ''Münchner Hausberge: die klassischen Ziele'', The summit can be attained even more easily from the nearby mountain station on the ''Taubenstein'' and, as a result, can often become rather overcrowded on summer's days. Alternatively the top can be climbed from Geitau via the lake of Soinsee. Below the summit, at a height of 1,737 m, is the mountain hut of '' Rotwandhaus''. In winter the Rotwand is frequently climbed by skiers. The classic ''Rotwand-Reib’n'' runs from the Spitzingsee to the Rotwand, then over the ''Kümpflscharte'' arête (1,695 m) to the Auerspitz sum ...
