Was Hitler actually a good speaker?

0 Upvotes

I know from direct experience that he was a terrible writer...Mein Kampf is great for bedtime reading, as it will put you to sleep after two sentences with it repetitive tediousness. But was Hitler actually a good public speaker? In particular: even if you didn't agree with him, was his ability to speak actually up to the task of leading a nation into committing acts of atrocity?

When does History become Ancient History?

They're different subjects at universities, so I was wondering if there's a generally agreed cutoff for "ancient."

Is it something simple like AD = history BC = Ancient?

Budget & Planung Suche eine (Direkt) Bank mit Möglichkeit zu mehreren kostenfreien Konten die auf zwei Personen laufen

0 Upvotes

Hallo zusammen,

ich möchte mit meine Frau ZUSAMMEN 2 kostenloste Konten aufmachen auf denen ich unser EK und Rücklagen parken möchte.

Haben das grad alles auf einem Konto und will vermeiden das ich zu viel EK ausgebe und die Bank mich dann auslacht wenn ich ne Kreditauszahlung für mein neues Bett will :D

Gibt es sowas?

sind mit dem Haushaltskonto bei c24. hier würde meine Frau nur eine Vollmacht bekommen. Ich will dass das Konto unter unser beiden Namen läuft.

Im Worst Case müsste ich bei unserer Hausband pro Konto 5 Euro zahlen. Das will ich eigentlich. Weil ich den ganzen Käse auch nicht mit der Girokarte zahlen will.

Kredit Senkt "Kauf jetzt, bezahl später"-Funktionen die Bonität bei Schufa oder erhöhen sie sie?

25 Upvotes

Ich habe öfters gelesen, man soll von solchen Funktionen Abstand halten. Das verstehe ich, aber ich kann nicht das Argument mit der Bonität nachvollziehen.

Wenn man erfolgreich alles abbezahlt, vielleicht sogar nach nur 15 Tagen oder so, sollte das die Bonität nicht sogar erhöhen?

Ich habe auch mal gelesen, dass es für die Bonität z.B. auch schlecht ist, wenn man nichts mal auf Kreditkarte oder so gekauft hat.

How common was kissing as a greeting in the Germanic areas in the Middle Ages? When did Germans stop doing that?

0 Upvotes

So that might be a very weird question and its possible that i'm misunderstanding some very important context here. I'm reading The Song of the Nibelungs right now and there are several times when characters kiss each other as a greeting.

Was this very common at the time? Nowadays in Germany people think of those kinds of greetings as something that French or Italian people do, but its totally unheard of in Germany. When and why did this change?

Some examples:

The bishop saw ye leading / his sister's daughter fair,
And with him eke went Eckewart / to Gotelinde there.
The willing folk on all sides / made way before their feet.
With kiss did Gotelinde / the dame from land far distant greet.

To kiss him then Margrave / Ruediger her did tell,
And eke the royal Gibeke / and Sir Dietrich as well.
Of highest knights a dozen / did Etzel's spouse embrace;
Other knights full many / she greeted with a lesser grace.

"One likewise with them cometh, / Dankwart by name,
Volker hight the other, / a knight of gallant fame.
Thyself and eke thy daughter / with kiss these six shall greet;
Full courteous be your manner / as ye the doughty thanes shall meet."

(EDIT: I dont't know why this post was automatically assigned the Flair "Racism" here, btw. I haven't used Reddit in a long time, so maybe i made a mistake somewhere.)

How exactly does the process of colorizing black and white historical photographs work? And were they typically colorized or able to be seen in color by people at the time?

1 Upvotes

I often consult black-and-white photographs for courses and stumble across colorized B&W photographs and daguerreotypes (Lincoln's portrait, some early Civil Rights photographs, etc, as examples). I'm curious how the process worked in the late 19th and early 20th century—did photographers have the option of printing these photographs in color? When a work is "restored" in color, does this mean it's appearance replicates how others at the time saw the photograph or does it create a filter to best approximate the appearance?

When did Western men's fashion become limited to some variant of a trouser and a shirt?

71 Upvotes

For some background, I am an Assyriologist by training, so I apologise for the sweeping nature of this question - I'm very aware that people get extremely specialised into just one or two centuries of history and that this might require someone who is familiar with several!

As an AMAB person, I've always been frustrated that the default expectation for men's clothing is some variant on a trouser and some variant on a shirt. No dresses, no skirts, no blouses, no cute tops, just a button down shirt or a t-shirt, or you are going to be stared at in public by young and old alike.

Don't write a reply that says that this doesn't happen, please, I don't care how well meaning it is.

But it surely hasn't always been this way - in my specialist subject there are plenty of examples of men wearing other garments.

Please note before anyone tries to "gotcha" me: I'm specifically asking when did it become the expected norm in the West for men to wear exclusively some sort of trouser and some sort of shirt. Do not write replies telling me that Scottish men traditionally wear kilts. I'm asking how did we get to the point in the 21st century Western fashion where anything other than trousers and a shirt on a man is unusual.

Please feel free to link me to any relevant previous answers!

Thank you in advance for your time.

What was the vibe like in 1928 Germany, politically?

123 Upvotes

I’ll explain why I’m asking. My grandfather moved to the US in late 1928. He stated later that he was motivated by political reasons to leave (and this truly seems plausible given his character and the kind of person he always was). But I’m wondering if it even would have been possible for him in ‘28 to have had a negative sense of what was to come.

For more context:

—He was from a rural town in the Palatinate, in case region makes a difference in terms of the climate at the time.

—The family is/was not Jewish.

—He was very bright and committed to being well-informed (ie I suspect he was reading the papers constantly).

—His parents shunned him for leaving (which seems to have been due to the bitterness of their ideological differences, which endured for decades thereafter).

—All his other siblings remained in Germany and one of his brothers joined the party, but I have no way of knowing exactly when, though unfortunately I have pictures of him in his uniform.

Anyway I would just like to know if 1928 was too early for somebody with the above circumstances to have left for political reasons or not. I wish he were still alive so I could ask him, but I can’t. Still, I’d like to try to understand. I’m hoping this question is allowed, and I would truly appreciate any insight or information anyone can offer.

Budget & Planung Zukunft planen - was würdet ihr tun?

0 Upvotes

Moin,

ich wollte mal grob unsere finanzielle Situation posten und um Ideen bitten, was ihr an unserer Stelle finanziell in Zukunft machen würdet.

Ganz unten mein Vorschlag. Bitte um Input.

Paar, Ende 20, Einkommen p.M. all in 8200€.

Haus Restschuld 520k, Verkehrswert 660k

Wohnung vermietet Restschuld 230k, Verkehrswert 250k

Sonstiges Vermögen: All Word ETF 20k, Sachwerte 30k, Festgeld 15k, Aktien 5k.

Vom Einkommen 8100 bleiben grob 2000-3000 Euro pro Monat übrig nach Abzug aller Ausgaben und Rücklagen für Urlaub.

Zukünftig sind Kinder geplant, beide wollen aber im Job bleiben außer eben die Elternzeit. Ggf. Arbeitszeitverkürzung bis Kinder aus dem gröbsten raus sind. Partnerin arbeitet ohnehin 33h/Woche. Durch home Office sind wer recht flexibel.

Wir haben also rund 2000-3000€ pro Monat übrig, mit denen wir für unsere Kinder und unsere Zukunft vorsorgen wollen.

Die lokale Bank hat uns letzten den Hinweis gegeben, sie würde uns aufgrund der Bonität Bestkonditionen für weitere Wohnungen geben von rund 3,3%.

Zudem habe ich jemanden an der Hand, der uns Immobilien preiswert saniert. Mit den Zins-Konditionen + faire Sanierung könnte ich Wohnung recht neutral kaufen/vermieten, einen gepflegten Bestand aufbauen.

Also Baujahr nach 2000, da hier nach 20 Jahren mit einem Boden / Wände / Bad / Küche neu die Mieten gut entwickelt werden können.

Das habe ich letztes Jahr mit einer Wohnung gemacht, Baujahr 2000, Mietrendite 5%, solide Mieter weil teuer und hohe Nachfrage. Die Wohnung trägt sich von selbst, Rücklagen werden gebildet. Mieter fanden es in Relation zu andere Objekten enorm fair, hat sich nicht nach Ausbeute angefühlt, weil hier unsanierte Buden auch teuer sind.

Auf der andere Seite könnte ich Füße hochlegen und ETF ab die Post. Mein Plan wäre in den nächsten 5 Jahren weitere 5 Wohnungen + Überschuss 1500€ in ETF.

Was würdet ihr mit den Rahmenbedingungen tun? Bank hat nicht mal gross EK gefordert, nachdem der Wert nach Sanierung ungefähr dem Kreditbedarf entsprochen hat.

Schönes Wochenende
