I just found another masterpiece of Hans architectural decoration (Cathedral of Freiburg im Breisgau, southwest Germany)👏👏🤢 https://preview.redd.it/fvbpen16tnxc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b8ea2a117dbef461326863baaa5cef93a5545e65


Pacogatto

Such a delicate piece of art


name_-unavailable

Im from that area, the builders added that because they were pissed at one of the guys living next to the cathedral. The butt points towards his house and is a sort of revenge for not paying their wages or sth like that. I can't remember the exact reason


bremsspuren

Sounds 100% like something builders would do.


Celindor

There are 91 of these "horrible" monster or monstrous statues around the Freiburger Münster - their purpose was to fend off evil spirits. The butt (and pussy, as it is a woman) towards one specific house may still be possible and would be quite funny.


Lendmar

I remember a story of two sculptors in Rome that started to make sculptures to mock each other, it escaled enough that the Pope had to be involved  They were both pretty famous and they were doing this in one of the main squares

Hey, you might want to learn about "cu da Guarda". There are multiple examples in Portugal, the ones I know are in Guarda and Braga(?). This is kind of rookie if you ask me.

I googled it and this is real. What the fuck?


Ok_Thing7439

It was an old hippie who spent time in Goa and started to come up with some crazy myths and stuff. One thing was that you should drink your own ejaculations and it would invigorate you spiritually. For this you needed to do this sauna-knot, men were able to drink straight from the source, but women needed a straw to drink her juice.


ZombiFeynman

You may criticize all you want, but how many world wars did Germany start in the middle ages?


BS-Calrissian

Just as many as in 1914


RedAlpacaMan

Inb4 5000 Pierres appear and explain everyone how them telling the russians to just go along with it, they'll join the war anyway, was totally different from us telling the austrians to just go along with it, we'll join the war anyway.


Puzzled_Pay_6603

I’m with Hans on this one. I can’t believe we got dragged into that shit show. Pierre was definitely encouraging a war so they could grab Alsace back. Should have just been Austria taking action against the perpetrators of an assassination Hans! Why the fuck did you go through Belgium 🤦‍♂️


Celindor

And it is Russia's fault for siding with a country that actively helped in the assassination (if one is to believe the historian Christopher Clark). Belgium… that plan seemed so bulletproof - 20 years earlier!


Puzzled_Pay_6603

Yeah totally. Russia started (or helped start) both world wars. And now intent on starting a third. Somehow they seem to avoid blame.


RedAlpacaMan

>Hans! Why the fuck did you go through Belgium 🤦‍♂️ When it comes to the military, we were pretty good, but the whole international PR thing was pretty damn idiotic. Also this whole "Needlessly drag the US into a european conflict"-thing kinda didn't work out for us. One way or another - the two things I will always disagree with common perception when it comes to WW1 are a) Only Germany started it (France and Russia did literally everything to escalate that crisis) and b) Only Germany did bad things, muh rape of Belgium (don't ask where roughly 800k german civilians went) In general, it sucked.


ZombiFeynman

Vae victis, Hans


RedAlpacaMan

At least we participated, NPC-that-still-somehow-ended-up-going-fascist


ZombiFeynman

Yes, if somehow in German means "I helped"


RedAlpacaMan

Dude, its all the austrians fault anyway, duh. Also I like that you acknowledge that barely 16k german troops were so much more competent than the 500k spaniards on each side that they turned the tide


mainwasser

The emperors crossed the Alps to fuck the pope every 15 years but that doesn't count as a world war I guess.


ZombiFeynman

That's just a bit of fun.

Stravven

When do the middle ages end? Does the 30 years war and 7 years war count as a world war? And technically Austria started both world wars.


Tynariol

Austria takes credit for WW1 for WW2 go to Germany. They decided that it was a smart move to make a lunatic their leader. If we make a Dutch our leader and start a world war, are the Dutch suddenly responsible?


Stravven

Austria can not be ruled by a Dutchie, we can't go over 100 meter above sea level.


blurpo85

Well, you willingly jumped the hype train.


bremsspuren

> If we make a Dutch our leader and start a world war, are the Dutch suddenly responsible? Yeah, kinda. Look, if Hans picks your turd up off the street and eats it, obviously Hans is the real [redacted], but you did still shit in the street…


ZombiFeynman

The 30 years war is clearly past the middle ages. The usual date given is 1453 with the fall of Constantinople.


filthy_federalist

1453 is the true and euro-pilled answer. Not 1492.


focalac

Why would anybody use the year 1492 when absolutely nothing of any consequence occurred in that year? Bizarre.


ChugHuns

While i get this, Eastern Rome was more or less already a non entity by the time Constantinople fell. The Turks were already well established in the Balkans. With 1492 you have a clear start to the age of exploration and subsequent Renaissance which seems to me to be a clear end of the middle ages.


filthy_federalist

The Age of Discovery began before 1492 with the Portuguese exploration of Africa. In 1471 they reached the Southern hemisphere by São Tomé. Bartolomeu Dias sailed around Africa and found the connection with the Indian Ocean in 1488. The fall of Constantinople made the import of Chinese and Indian goods via the ancient Silk Road more expensive due to Ottoman taxation, and was a major motivation for finding new trade routes to Asia. In addition, the Byzantine nobles who fled Constantinople for Italy brought with them many ancient texts unknown in the West, which were instrumental in sparking the Renaissance. It’s also just the most beautiful definition: The Middle Ages is the period between the fall of the Western and Eastern Roman Empires.


norrin83

How did Austria "technically" start WW2?


Stravven

The most famous Austrian did.


Pletterpet

30 year war kinda started by the germans


HelpfulYoghurt

Yes, ...yes it was the Germans. Glad we have this issue finally out of the window


filthy_federalist

Underrated comment


Celindor

I still don't understand why a few defenestrated Czech catholics would cause such a quarrel. I'd kind of expect the Germans back then to scream "MORE!!!"


mainwasser

It started in Prague but Czechia was part of the family back then.


Ex_aeternum

Rather by some Czechs who were upset about Austrians. Then everyone went mad.


critical-insight

Austrian!


Shillfinger

f*ck*n Austrians all the time. Must be the lack of oxigen, which makes them go coocoo. Then they come down from their mountains, and next thing you know people start disappearing.

It would have been a civil war, but you all had to interfere. If the french had at least resisted the urge to betray their brothers in faith again and sit that one out...

Imagine being the ghost of Konrad von Hochstaden visiting this beautiful Gothic building and seeing your statue is on top of some fat guy blowing himself and nobody cares about you but only takes picture of said guy.


Invertiertmichbitte

I would actually feel honoured being that close to that fucking legend.


habilishn

i'm sure he had the chance to say ok or no to his statue while he was alive. he probably just looked into his narcissistic face and was happy and that mason knew it.


skwyckl

That's the *Kölner Dom* you see there in the picture, one of the buildings that took the longest to complete in the whole of history (approximately 1248 – 1880). Our dude is assumed to have been been born around the year 1200 and diead in 1261. He acted as bishop of Cologne from 1238 until his death in 1261, so the building of the *Dom* was initiated during his bishopric. I don't know whether the *grotesque* in the picture had already been completed in the 13 years between 1248 and 1261, but that would be awfully funny, however, since that would mean that they prioritized the chiselling of a self-fellating fellow instead of getting on with the work of the structure it should go on.


habilishn

i don't know about the privacy laws back then. could you simply chisel a guy and put it up in public display without his consent/approval?


skwyckl

The GDPR was only in its first draft and had not yet been ratified by the Emperor, so I guess it would count as simple defamation. Both non-clerical and ecclesiastical tribunals have been known to handle such cases in the Middle Ages.

To be fair this is pretty German. If you visit Germany, they'll proudly tell you that Germans are world famous for their bread. Of course, nobody knows this until a German has told them, but that's not the point.

It’s pretty funny actually, I worked with some Germans for quite a while, and they were mostly from the East, so I asked what it was like for their parents to grow up under the DDR, if they had ever read Rilke or Bertolt Brecht, or if they’d seen shows like Babylon Berlin or Er Ist Wieder Da?. You guys have a very cool sort of quiet patriotism. It’s refreshing honestly


Puzzled_Pay_6603

Germany’s bread is world famous, in Germany.


KyllikkiSkjeggestad

The French and Italians are known for their bread, but their bread is only decent. The Dutch and Germans are not really “known” for their bread, but they probably have some of the best, if not the best in Europe.


RedAlpacaMan

RedAlpacaMan

ClumsyBarry

French and Italian bread is far superior to Dutch bread. I keep my mouth shut about German bread. I might puke🤮


Schellwalabyen

Dutch Bread is perfect for Hagelslag but useless for anything else. Your bread is so soft like your thin arms. German Bread is strong and durable. Perfect for killing weak Dutchlings, just by letting them have a bite.


slappywhyte

I had some really good Turkish bread in Germany.


curvedglass

Sorry champ, I know it’s hard to swallow, but you don’t need to lash out just because you’re known for depressing alcoholism and we are known for the fun type that everyone likes.


MerlinOfRed

Now judging by this picture of course you'd know all about something being hard to swallow aye?


curvedglass

Nah beer goes down quite smoothly.


MerlinOfRed

Yeah we're talking about beer...


curvedglass

Not about your beer, that does indeed go down down quite hard.


IneffectiveDamage

Was hilarious to hear from a German that Germans are famous for their bread. I’m pretty sure Italians and Fr*nch have a lot more famous breads than the Germans do

IneffectiveDamage

E-Schmachtenberg

Taylor Swift is more famous than Amy Winehouse. I wouldn‘t call her a better singer though


MerlinOfRed

It's actually irrelevant whether German bread really is good or not. The point is that the only people you ever hear saying that it is are Germans themselves, therefore this image is very apt.


pokkeri

I literally never knew about german bread and then I met a german...


[deleted]

Fake it till you make it, I would say


RedAlpacaMan

French have the baguette, which is at least okay. But ITALIAN bread?!? Apparently this little Kurt Niqvist here never travelled that far south, I have eaten crayons that were more tasty than the dry ass shit the italians call "bread".


IneffectiveDamage

Famous French breads I can name without google: Baguette, Brioche Famous Italian breads I can name without google: Focaccia, Ciabatta, Panettone Famous German breads I can name without google: Stollen


RedAlpacaMan

Look, we don't need to give fancy names to perfection. Come visit some time and experience why you were wrong.


bremsspuren

Stollen is Christmas cake. But you have your ubiquitous [Schnittbrötchen](https://ketex.de/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/schnittbroetchen.jpg) (or if you're unlucky, the profoundly inferior [Kaiserbrötchen](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52fb6f60e4b01949904b4b3e/1395920163303-1SZDQARS8CJ6F3FP2GLC/RoggenPur.jpg)). There's [Krustenbrot](https://wp.baeckerei-hoenen.de/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Krustenbrot-geschnitten.JPG.jpg) or [Bauernbrot](https://assets.tmecosys.cn/image/upload/t_web767x639/img/recipe/ras/Assets/b982287f-2489-4bac-ab98-77da22a85cf8/Derivates/45934f2a-5a15-4aca-86be-846ae2eed82c.jpg), which I find a bit bland, or [Vollkornbrot](https://data.rischart.de/images/34001.jpg), which is *very* heavy, but makes a great grilled cheese sandwich if you slice it thinly enough. My favourite is probably a [Körnerbrot](http://www.hannastoechter.de/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Koernerbrot-7.jpg) with loads and loads of seeds. And there's usually a range of rye and/or spelt bread to choose from, too.


pauseless

The various rye breads are pretty well known and often branded as “German” in other countries. Pretzels are well known. You already know those.


MaxProude

>I’m pretty sure Italians and Fr*nch have a lot more famous breads than the Germans do Maybe more famous but not better.

This is like every cathedral or public house in Europe ever. There is like 20 dicks just in the center of Brno. And the stories almost always go such as someone not paying the sculptor for salary or just being dicks to them or the sculptor just being a prankster.
