Welcome to new experts

FALCO "Out of the dark"
"Jeanny" , "emotional" , and "Rock Me Amadeus" , and there are a lot of other tracks from him at YOUTUBE.
I already heard "out of the dark" at the French radio "France Inter"

he's already dead for a long time, but i was just wondering if he's still known, because in Austria, he's said to be one of the only Austrian singers who became popular internationally

butnicetoknowthatheaintforgottenyet!!

I actually have "Rock me Amadeus" and "Der Kommissar" among my collection of best all times tunes.

"Dreh' Dich nicht um, oh oh oh, schau, schau,
der Kommissar geht um oh oh"

hehe I'm really surprised by his great success all over the world =) considering the small size of Austria, it's even more outstanding

Yeah, but he was a good singer and it's a shame he died so stupidly...

In the end, he was one of the favorites of many Romanian teenagers in the 80's. Mine also, among them.

P.S. If you believe Austria is a small country, look on the map for Faroe Islands... On some maps they never appear.
Besides, is one of the most beautiful country I have ever been, I spent one week in Salzburgerland and I plan to visit it again, maybe next summer.

Well, there is the theory that he actually didn't really die in the car accident - just like the conspiracy theory about Elvis Presley. I don't want to raise your hopes though.. :P

Yes, it's small but nice =). But there's more to it than only the mountains and perhaps Mozart

I know that, I did not come to Austria only for the mountains. I like very much the people, the houses, the food and the history on the other hand, besides the nature. It gets in your blood once you have been there.

Besides, beautiful mountains are also back home, in Romania. Maybe not as majestic as the Austrian ones, but...

And talking about Falco, in the end, who knows, maybe he lives somewhere, under another identity, as Elvis does...

Oh yes Ghiglione, Der Kommissar was the other song I knew.

Hehe nice to hear, you like Austria. I just dont like our weather from time to time... But for this case, we have Italy beneath us =)

Can you also go skiing in your mountains, or arent they that high? Because winter without skiing... Unimaginable for me!!

osah bin roum hag or Oh sa ben room haug

Does anybody know which is this language & what does it mean?

No, unfortunately I know only to skate (and I love it!)... I would like to learn how to ski one day. By the way, I know you were born with ski boots on your feet, as the Faroese were born holding an oar...

As per the weather...well, come to Faroe Islands and you'll love your weather afterwards. 243 days of rain per year, in average and temperature not higher than 15C in the summer (with small exceptions).

DRKPP, no idea, sorry. But I´ll try google a little on it.

I didnt quite get where you actually live now.. Do you always switch your location, one day Romania, the other day the Faroe Islands? =)

Yeah, in Austria, simply everyone can either ski or snowboard, because you'd just miss so much fun, not being able to. And it's a good way to become active in the cold, grey winters

Huh, well, its not that bad with the rain here and we have also had about 38°C (max.) this summer. But I can imagine, you get accustumed to the climate...

Why are austria and germany not united?

I am from Romania, but I live here in Faroe Islands, because my husband is from here. As per Romania, I try to go home as often as possible, last year I have been there three times, which was a record (and a luxury in the same time). I don't believe I will repeat so soon. I will love to be able to be able to go home wvery other day, to be honest!

how can you ask something like that, pluiepuoco? That proves how little you know about independency and national identity.

But is there a history when Germany was contained in autria-hungary empire? or are they not related?

And forgive me, I have a sense that countries speaking the same can have the chance to unite. I believe many Chinese think the same. That's very logical, since we name a language always by the country name of the nation who speaks it. One Nation, One Country. That seems to be our logic. But the world tells the contrary, some nations have many countries but the same nation (I refer to race).

And We also tell a nation by its language, if two people speak one language, we usually take them the same, but if two people speak two languages different, we usually say they are of different nations.

If a nation's language is extinguished, and changed to another language, we will say the nation is extinguished and has changed to another nation, or assimiliated into other nations. It is really hard for me to understand how people can identify themselves without confusing if they speak the same as other people from different countries, especially when the people is not a single person but a whole nation.

First of all Austro-hungarian empire did not contain Germany, second of all, the German spoken in Germany and the one spoken in Austria are not quite the same. Besides, I don't believe the Austrian people would like to be part of Germany, it's a thing of national pride.

You mix it up, Hitler was the one who occupied Austria in 1933 - the famous and infamous Anschluss - but this was about the 3-rd Reich, which is something else.

If we would apply what you are saying, than northern part of France should go to Germany, half of our Transilvania should be united with Hungary, than Republic of Moldavia should be united with Romania, together with southern part of Ukrain and so on...

The things rae not so black and white, pluiepoco and you should take care, Europeans are usually very sensible when it comes about their countries.

I understand, it's like what we say "fence-sitter", one who changes too often cannot always identify itself.

Today, belongs to A,
Yesterday, belonged to B,
Tomorrow, will belong to C.

But suppose that,

if Prussia exists at present, can we imagine that:
Germany and Austria can unite?

I've got it now in Chinese web information:

德意志\普鲁士\奥地利 三者历史上是什么关系?

最佳答案
德意志是一个大区域，古代德意志包括西里西亚、但泽（现归波兰)、哥尼斯堡（现俄罗斯加里宁格勒）、德国、奥地利（虽然奥地利和匈牙利组成奥匈帝国，但不包括匈牙利），几乎是最纯正的日耳曼人。德意志最早是一大片大小不一的大公国，普鲁士和奥地利都是其中一个，关系有点像现在独联体之于俄罗斯和乌克兰。19世纪末，普鲁士王国逐渐强大，德意志的统一时机也基本成熟，普鲁士通过战争击败奥地利，并且北败丹麦东平法国，最终完成了德意志的统一建立德意志帝国，而奥地利则被排除在德意志帝国之外。后来二战前，纳粹德国又用胁迫手段将奥地利合并，这是历史上最大的一个德意志国家。
简单说吧，德意志是一个地理概念，而普鲁士和奥地利则各自是这个概念的一个子集。

德意志

查理大帝死后，“虔诚者”路易继承皇位，为争夺分布全国的皇室领地、政权和臣属，父子纷争，兄弟相残，贵族叛乱，中央政权已徒有其名。路易死后（840年），他的三个儿子罗退耳、日耳曼人路易和秃头查理，重又厮杀起来，直到843年，正式缔结凡尔登条约，帝国三分：斯海尔德河和缪斯河以西地区，归秃头查理，称西法兰克王国；莱茵河以东地区，归日耳曼人路易，称东法兰克王国；介于东西法兰克之间，北起北海，南至意大利中部，包括罗讷河流域，归罗退尔，罗退耳并承袭皇帝称号。后来，东西法兰克和罗退耳领有的北部意大利，分别发展为德意志、法兰西和意大利三个国家。


普鲁士

中世纪由波兰人和日耳曼人统治的普鲁士人领土；也指1701年德意志霍亨索伦家族统治的王国；1918年霍亨索伦王朝覆灭后设立的邦也称为普鲁士。
普鲁士人属波罗的海民族 。 13 世纪被条顿骑士团征服，居民改奉基督教 。1410 年骑士团国家被波兰-立陶宛联军击败，西部土地连同但泽和玛丽亚堡割让给波兰，东部仍属骑士团，但臣服于波兰。1525 年 4 月 ，条顿骑士团末代首领、霍亨索伦家族的阿尔布雷希特改信路德宗，宣布将骑士团国家改为世俗的普鲁士公国，自立为公爵。1618年，该公国因无男嗣被转让给霍亨索伦-勃兰登堡选侯 。1660 年勃兰登堡选侯通过《奥利瓦和约》，取得对普鲁士公国的主权 ，建立起勃兰登堡-普鲁士的专制政体的统治。1701年1月13日，普鲁士公国成为王国 ，勃兰登堡选帝侯腓特烈三世加冕为普鲁士国王，称腓特烈一世，普鲁士的发展进入新的时期。历任国王通过各种手段扩展自己的疆土，先后夺取西里西亚、东弗里斯兰、西普鲁士和内策行政区。18世纪普鲁士已成为欧洲军事强国，官僚组织、军事组织及普鲁士容克的政治统治均获得巩固。
法国大革命时期，普王腓特烈·威廉二世（1786～1797在位 ）参加反法战争失利 ， 把莱茵河左岸的土地割给法国。同时从第二、第三次瓜分波兰中掠得但泽 、托伦、南普鲁士和新东普鲁士。1797年其子腓特烈·威廉三世（1797～1840在位）继承王位。1806年占领汉诺威后，成为统治北德意志的大国。在1806年的耶拿和奥尔施泰特战役中普军惨败，丧失领土的一半，被迫进行资产阶级改革（见施泰因和哈登堡改革）。1815年维也纳会议后 ， 普鲁士恢复军事强国地位，收回了失去的绝大部分领土，并获得了一些新的领地。1822年已拥有 3 个省，普鲁士疆域自东欧延伸至德意志中部和西部，占有最重要的工业区和经济最发达的地区，为其统一德意志奠定了经济基础。1815年后的普鲁士成为德意志资本主义经济最发达的邦。1840年后，普鲁士的资产阶级发动统一与自由的民族运动，无产阶级开始登上政治舞台。德意志的统一在普鲁士容克政治家O.von俾斯麦领导下，通过王朝战争最后完成。1870～1871年的普法战争确立了普鲁士在德意志的领导地位。1871年成立德意志帝国。普鲁士邦占有帝国领土的2／3，人口的3／5，在帝国中起决定性作用。第一次世界大战中德国战败，帝国解体，普鲁士成为魏玛共和国的一个邦。A.希特勒攫取政权后，普鲁士实际上已经不再是一个邦。第二次世界大战后，东普鲁士北部并入苏联，东部地区划归波兰，剩余部分为苏、英、法 3 国占领区分割。1947年3月1日，盟军管制委员会下令废除普鲁士建制。


奥地利

公元前400年，克尔特人在此建立了诺里孔王国。公元前15年被罗马人占领。中世纪早期哥特人、巴伐利亚人、阿勒曼尼人入境居住，使这一地区日耳曼化和基督教化。公元996年，史书中第一次提及“奥地利”。12世纪中叶巴奔堡家族统治时期形成公国，成为独立国家。1276年被神圣罗马帝国侵占，1278年，开始了哈布斯堡王朝长达640年的统治。1699年获得对匈牙利的统治权。1804年弗朗茨二世采用奥地利皇帝称号，1806年被迫辞去神圣罗马帝国皇帝之称。1815年，维也纳会议后，成立了以奥为首的德意志邦联。1860—1866年向君主立宪制过渡。1866年在普奥战争中失败，被迫解散德意志邦联。翌年与匈牙利签订协议，成立二元制的奥匈帝国。第一次世界大战中，奥军战败，帝国随即瓦解。1918年11月12日奥地利宣布成立共和国。1938年3月被纳粹德国吞并。二次大战中作为德国的一部分参战。同盟国军队解放奥地利后，奥地利于1945年4月27日成立临时政府。同年7月，德国投降后，奥地利又被苏、美、英、法军占领，全境划分为4个占领区。1955年5月，4国与奥地利签署条约宣布尊重奥地利的主权和独立。1955年10月占领军全部撤走。同年10月26日奥国民议会通过永久中立法，宣布不参加任何军事同盟，不允许在其领土上设立外国军事基地。

德意志泛指一片地区，这一地区在中世纪由神圣罗马帝国统治。神圣罗马帝国是一个诸侯的联合体，其皇帝在几个势力较大的“选侯国”君主中产生。神圣罗马帝国一直延续到十八世纪，在其后半期其皇位一直被奥地利的哈布斯堡王室垄断。哈布斯堡王朝由于天主教及近代首先称霸的西班牙的支持，长期在神圣罗马帝国的各诸侯国中保持强势。
普鲁士原非神圣罗马帝国成员，后期才加入并成为选侯国。神圣罗马帝国在十九世纪初年，由于拿破仑的进攻而被迫宣布解散。而在这之前和之后的一段时期，随着普鲁士的强大和奥地利在十七世纪初的三十年战争以后衰落，普鲁士和奥地利始终争夺这一地区的霸权。十九世纪，普鲁士致力于领导原神圣罗马帝国各诸侯国形成一个统一的民族国家，这一进程必然遭到奥地利的反抗。普鲁士最终在击败奥地利后，排除奥地利在外，主导其它各诸侯国建立了统一的德国。

Oh, for God's sake! That's the end of that awful spooky eye!

Hehe thanks Iepurica for defending my national consciousness - there's really a huge difference between Austria and Germany! (not only concerning the language, which is very different indeed)
What's more, Austria actually likes the status of being a quite small country with a high standard of living and much tradition too much to give it up! And i guess it wouldnt be very good for the economy, if there was such a huge state, like the old Habsburger-empire, involving Germany, Elsaß (France), Northern Italy, Transylvania (Rumania) etc.
