If you want to learn German from scratch or build on your existing skills, we have some exciting news for you. In the next two weeks, we’re going to start several new online German courses for students at beginner, intermediate, and advanced level. All our courses are small in size (with only 5 students), fast in terms of their pace, and taught by fully qualified native tutors. We also offer a lot more flexibility than other German language schools- and you didn’t expect Germans to be flexible, did you? 😅. Find out more here

A German language version of a brochure that describes the new corporate identity of British Rail's Railfreight division that was introduced in 1987. The sector itself had been created in 1982 to better manage the freight traffic on the rail network.
The identities were based on the sub-sectors of the business, according to the nature of the product carried; coal, metal, aggregates, oil or petroleum, LPG, petro-chemicals, and construction materials. As well as the bold symbols for the sectors, depot plates were produced alongside an eyecatching new livery for the locomotives in the sector pool. The designs were produced, as was this brochure, by the graphic design concern of Roundel Design Group. The brochure was, I suspect, produced for the 1988 IVA industry exhibition held in Hamburg, Germany.

South Hummocks.
This region is located in the Hundred of Kulpara which was declared in 1862 with surveying beginning in 1864. It was probably declared because it was on the land route to the new Wallaroo and Moonta copper mines but few farmers took up land here until around 1880. Before the farmers arrived the land was issued as leaseholds. Whilst Captain Ellis had the northern part of the Hummock Ranges near Snowtown leases 40 and 270 were taken out by John Bowman in 1851 and 1853 sequentially. Bowman leased around 200 square miles. Lease number 270 which covered the land from Port Wakefield to Lochiel was surrendered in 1862 when the Hundred was declared. The Hundred was partially surveyed in 1865 with more land surveyed in 1875 and in 1881 and the final parts surveyed in 1888. One of the first settlers of South Hummocks was the Hamdorf family who bought land in 1881. The Zilm family took up land in 1882. The Penna and Taylor families were also pioneer settlers of the district. In the early years wheat was carted to Port Arthur on the gulf but it was railed out at the South Hummocks railway station after 1880. The stone primary school in South Hummocks was built in 1880 and opened in 1881. It still stands hidden by bush and scrub. When it closed in 1945 it had just seven pupils. The remaining children were sent to Beaufort School until it closed in 1959 when they were bussed to Balaklava primary. The Post Office opened in 1869 with Mrs Hamdorf as post mistress. It closed in 1917 and a private mail bag service began. It was probably housed in the small tin shed “post office” which can still be seen in South Hummocks. The cemetery was established in 1883. Methodist Church services began in the government school around 1890 and in 1905 the Methodists built a fine stone Gothic church. The land for the church was given by Ellen Penna who lived almost next door. Mrs Zilm played the organ for the opening service. In 1927 a Sunday School hall was built beside the church. A porch was added to the church in 1955. But sadly the church closed in 1969 and to avoid vandalism the church and hall was demolished in 1972. In its heyday South Hummocks had football, cricket and tennis clubs and an oval and a Literary Society.

The final page is titled "Der Tupfen auf dem "i"" - roughly translated as the icing on the cake.
"Maximin, A Memorial Book Edited by Stefan Görge, Pages for Art, Berlin"
"The young Maximin, as he is called by his patron Stefan Görge, is a key figure in the Görge circle. Görge makes Maximin a god (he is the fulfillment of Görge's poetic dream)."
The German Postcrosser who sent me this says that the words translate to "Self-confidence is the first secret of success!" in English. The message is great, and I also like cats and birds.

Seems to me Germans use a pretty advanced vocabulary for their street signs. Ten of these words were new vocabulary for me.
Swiss German, assume it is local Schaffhauser dialect?
Oepfel = apple
Chuechli = type of small tart, I think. (but I welcome clarification)
A book from my five volume set of Goethes Werke, all of which have the selfsame gold leaf adornment, design, and leather binding. An 1882 Stuttgart edition, it is in very good condition—aside from the inevitable wear evident on the spines—replete with the first German artists' wonderful, albeit colorless or faded color, illustrations which easily number over 300 strewn throughout the texts. Remarkably, I was able to obtain this without economic shackles attached. Namely, I received it via a donation in the will of a scholar.
