Today, I was talking about “Lindenstraße” with a friend and I figured I should share this piece of German TV culture with you. Before I start I have to say that I’ve never watched a single episode - so I can only present facts and no impressions ;)
“Lindenstraße” (Lindenstreet) is a German TV show which has been around since 1985 (!!). It’s broadcasted weekly on one of the public channels (“ARD” pronounce “Aaah-Err-Daee”) and is basically the first German soap opera. Over 1200 episodes have been produced so far - it’s pretty successful and has many loyal fans.
Have you ever heard of this soap opera or even watched an episode?

I’m a big fan of the tv show LOST. And since today is the US start of the final season, I figured this post would be perfect! In the picture you can see an amazing map, created by John Cabrera, the “Lost Subway Map” - “Der Lost U-Bahn Plan”. What a great way to introduce you to both some public transportation and more Lost vocabulary (just like in a previous “what is what in German - Lost” post). Enjoy!
die U-Bahn (-en) = subway
der Plan (Pläne) = map
die Station (-en) = station
Nächster Halt…! = Next stop!
And some of the stations are…:
die Höhlen = caves
der See = lake
das Massengrab = mass grave
die Bären = bears
Jacobs Hütte = Jacob’s cabin
Desmonds Boot = Desmond’s boat
Rumpftrümmer = fuselage wreckage
Cockpittrümmer = cockpit wreckage
das Lager/Camp = camp
