Low Prussian Dialect
Low Prussian (), sometimes known simply as Prussian (''Preußisch''), is a moribund dialect of East Low German that developed in East Prussia. Low Prussian was spoken in East and West Prussia and Danzig up to 1945. In Danzig it formed the basis of the particular city dialect of Danzig German. It developed on a Baltic substrate through the influx of Dutch- and Low German-speaking immigrants. It supplanted Old Prussian, which became extinct in the early 18th century. Simon Dach's poem '' Anke van Tharaw'' was written in Low Prussian. Classification Low Prussian is a Low German dialect formerly spoken in Prussia. It is separated from its only adjacent German dialect, High Prussian, by the Benrath line and the Uerdingen line, the latter dialect being Central German. This was once one of the, if not the hardest linguistic border within the German dialects. Plautdietsch is included within Low Prussian by some observers. Excluding Plautdietsch, Low Prussian can be consid ...

Volkslied

While many of them were first passed orally, several collections were published from the late 18th century. Later, some popular songs were also included in this classification. History The earliest songs in German appeared in the 12th century. Art songs were created by minstrels and meistersinger while cantastoria (''Bänkelsänger'') sang songs in public that were orally transmitted. Song collections were written from the late 15th century, such as ''Lochamer-Liederbuch'' and ''Glogauer Liederbuch''.

''Rosa'' × ''alba'', the white rose of York, is a hybrid rose of unknown parentage that has been cultivated in Europe since ancient times. It may have originally been grown mainly for the sweet scent of the flowers, but is now also used as a winter-hardy garden shrub. Cultivated forms have white or pink flowers, and most have many petals. Hybrid cultivars have also been produced with red or yellow flowers. Description and distribution ''Rosa'' × ''alba'' plants are tall shrubs with arching stems and bluish-green leaves. They bloom only in mid summer. They are extremely cold hardy and disease resistant, hence they are used to create new varieties for subarctic climates like northern Scandinavia and Canada. These magnificent shrubs can withstand shade and semishade, and are easily found abandoned in semi wild situations. In Sweden and Finland the French bred 'Minette' has been considered a wild rose called ''R.'' × ''suonum'' (Mustialanruusu). The Mustiala rose belongs to t ...

'' Heimat'' can be translated as "home" (in the geographic sense), "hometown" or "homeland". History The genre came to life after the devastation of Germany in World War II, and remained popular from the late 1940s to the early 1960s.
