Ask Angelika Season 3 Episode 24 - Pappenheim

from Ask Angelika · host Angelika Davey

In this episode we learned a few things about Oberstdorf. As always Steven got to read some German sentences about it and tried to translate them into English. Here are the sentences again: Pappenheim ist eine Stadt in Bayern. Pappenheim is a town in Bavaria. Pappenheim erhielt 1288 die Stadtrechte. Pappenheim received its town charter in 1288. Pappenheim ist auch ein Luftkurort… Pappenheim is also a climatic spa ... … und hat eine Burg, die Burg Pappenheim. ... and has a castle, the Pappenheim Castle. Die Burg liegt auf einer Anhöhe über einer Schleife der Altmühl. The castle is situated on a hill above a loop of the Altmühl. Von dort hat man einen großartigen Ausblick über das Altmühltal. From there you have a great view over the Altmühl valley. Bekannt ist der Name der Stadt vor allem durch den Ausspruch: „Ich kenne meine Pappenheimer.“  The name of the town is especially well known because of the saying: "I know my Pappenheimer".  Dieses Zitat hatte früher eine positive Bedeutung, weil die Pappenheimer Soldaten mutig waren. This quote had a positive meaning in former times, because the soldiers of Pappenheim were brave. Heutzutage ist es negativ, weil „Ich kenne meine Pappenheimer“ bedeutet „Ich weiß genau, was du vorhast.“  Nowadays it is negative, because "I know my Pappenheimer" means "I know exactly what you are up to."

NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next. So tune in
