There are a lot of Dakkanauts that are German and Austrian. NOTE: I am not one of them. I am an American living in Germany. While I speak German as my second language, I am not terribly proficient.

Some folks that post regularly:

Viktor von Domm (Berlin area)
Kroothawk (Berlin area, I believe)
Klaus, not Santa (somewhere in Baden-Wuerttemberg?)
Allod is Austrian (Vienna)
Sir Arun is also Austrian

There are at least a couple of Deutsch speaking Swiss members but they do not post frequently in the threads that I read.

Viel Glück mit deine Suche!

Nope, nobody speaks German here.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

There are plenty of Germans around here, and most Dutch can speak German as well.
I've lived in Berlin for a while, so I am pretty fluent in German.

German over here. From Bratislava, Slovakia. So I can also satisfy any need for slavic (Slovak and a smidgeon of Russian) or Hungarian as well.

Bratislava is one confused city.

It's the capital of Slovakia but sits at the border with both Austria and Hungary. And you also get media broadcasting in Czech as well as Slovak and many other languages. Oh well, with cable over here you get to hear pretty much any language you want.

And for the record, I love Bratislava! So much nicer than Prague. I wish they had gone through with the Viennese development axis plans in your direction instead of going south and southeast to gakky Schwechat (shudders).

A very apt description of Düsseldorf, especially if you consider the local population. Let's see how many people get what I'm talking about.

What, Vienna still exists? Remembering the talks my relatives always have about the "capital" I thought the city would already have been razed by a mob of angry mountaineers.
But why should the Schluchtensch... sry, austrians , be better than the germans. Berlin & München still stand, even when most people would like to sell them off to poland, respectively austria.
Don't take it to seriously, I'm 1/4 austrian myself, just like to tease my southern cousins. :-)

That's why I tried to cover myself with the words "...and many other languages." So much for my Ninja smoke bomb.

This made me laugh. JFK is still quite popular in Europe. There are a lot of streets named after him as well as monuments and plaques. It seems like every large city has something named after JFK or Martin Luther King, sometimes both.

It can also mean quite a few other things like twit, twerp, goon, and ninny.

Huh, never seen a Martin Luther King street/monument in germany or austria, the only thing I know is the Studentenheim in FFM. You're sure we're not talking about the original Martin Luther?

Edit: Nevermind, Google Maps is your friend, found 5 streets, 1 weg, 1 park and 1 ring.

My second name is Kennedy, it's funny how common the name is on place names here! Nearly more common than at home in Ireland!

I took 2 years of German in high school, and while my 'accent' is atrocious, I have been understanding most of what is going on in the thread. I only had to google faul and Entshuldigung. Though I guess that's because I am used to "es tut mir leid" for I'm sorry.
