Immigrating to German Life: A List of Foreign Place Names in German Life

Germany, known as the Federal Republic of Germany, is one of the major economic and political entities in the European continent. Although German civilization started very late, the living standards of German citizens are among the best in the world and have made great contributions to world culture in modern times. Living in Germany can enjoy Germany's complete social security system, but living in Germany, you will find that many places in Germany have wonderful names. For example, as shown below:

The name of this central Frank village does not come from the most beautiful thing in the world. The name "Poppen" in place names can be traced back to a name "Poppo" that often appeared in the Middle Ages. This place originally came from the land reclaimed by Popper (=-reuter).

The name Shang Pfalcz doesn't mean that the residents here have any strange stomach problems. The "Kotz" in the place name comes from the old German word "Kazza", which means cat. Because of dialect, "Katzheim" is misunderstood as "Kotzheim".

In winter, this small village in Lower Bavaria absolutely needs gloves. But the first name of this place may come from a resident named "Handschuh" or a farmland shaped like gloves.

The place name of this central Frankish region does not come from a special insect, but from a medieval name called "M? To "or" Muoto ".
