    The German word for castle is Burg. That is, the fortified building where nobility lives is Burg. A more palace like "castle" that isn't really fortified is called Schloss. Not to be confused with a lock, which is also called Schloss.
    I think the word castle comes from the Latin word castillo? As such it isn't Germanic and thus the German word has a different root.

Usually it was both but, with a few exceptions of course, you wouldn't actually find castles that weren't for living and definitely also for nobility, who else would even build castles? Later, when castles lost their purpose as fortification (although it is disputed how effective they were even at the time they were built that way), nobility started building palaces (aka Schloss) just as big houses that looked good. Those things never really existed at the same time. Even later, in the 19th century, some rich nobility started constructing palaces (or renovating old castle ruins) that looked like the old castles because stories about knights were popular then, for example Neuschwanstein or Schloss Drachenburg near Köln. The term 'Schloss', as far as I know, originated in the 16th century.

    The name of Kassel derived from a Royal estate called Chassalla (around 913 AD), and that name could either be derived from Latin castellum (which became castle in England) or from Frankonian "cas sali" (roughly (town- or king's) "hall in valley"). A castle would either a "Burg" (fortified) or "Schloss" (a palace) in German.

    This is a typical game for German kids and teens. It’s called Eierlappen (Egg rag). basically you kick the ball against a wall and the next kid has to kick it against the wall and so on, you have to be quick because if you’re not fast enough the ball ricochets from the wall and goes all the way back in the playground so the next kid has to shoot from there.
    It can be played at any wall, usually kids use random house walls (which annoys the people living inside) or in this case a random concrete wall at the playground.
    Everyone gets a number of lives (lets say 3) and whenever someone misses their shot (misses the wall) they lose a life. The last person standing receives a “crown” which is basically an extra life they can choose to use when their lives run out in order to continue playing

    Football in this context is soccer, which is also 'football' in English English. Presumably the point to the boulders was to slow down the kids, acting like child speed bumps and therefore, hopefully, reducing the noise. It is not clear it is even intended to be a playground. Actual intended playgrounds have the usual playground slides and things, even here in Germany.
    Good German series to consider are 'Der Lehrer' ('The Teacher,' which is a high school drama with some good romantic comedy undertones starting 2nd season), 'Notruf Hafenkante' ('Emergency Harbour's Edge' which is a police/hospital series set in Hamburg) or 'Hubert Ohne Staller' (Hubert without Staller, formally 'Hubert and Staller,' a police comedy/drama)

    "Castle" translates to Festung, Burg or Schloss, depending on context.
    Though notably a Festung or Burg you'd sometimes call a castle in english, but other times a fortress or tower, and Schloss can be what you'd imagine as a "Castle" but sometimes it's also just a mansion/villa.
    We _do_ have the word "Kastell" (which isn't just a translation, it's literally the same word as castle just pronounced more german-y; both derived from the latin _castellum_ ), but it's not very frequently used.

    • @njordholm
      @njordholm Před rokem

      Das kann man alles so pauschal nicht sagen, da sich vieles überschneidet, mit der Zeit ändert und Nuancen in der Benennung einen enormen Unterschied machen.
      Palast kommt von Palatin (den 7 Hügeln Roms) das bevorzugte Wohnviertel, wo seit Augustus auch die Kaiser ihre Residenz hatten.
      Paläste (nach der heutigen Wortverwendung her) haben nicht nur Könige und Königinnen bewohnt und selbst im Ursprung (siehe oben) wohnten da nicht nur die Kaiser. Im übrigen nannte man im Mittelalter den bewohnten (bevorzugten) Teil (Wohnbau) einer Burg "Palas" wo die Ritter und ihre Familien wohnten. Diese Wohnbereiche umfassten jedoch auch spezielle größere Räume wo sich Gesellschaften z.B. zum Essen trafen.
      Zudem gibt es die "Pfalz" was sowas wie "fürstliche Wohnung" bedeutet und von palantia/palatia/palatium (also Palast) hergeleitet ist. Dort gab es dann residierende Pfalzgrafen (Palatini) oder Bischöfe, die ggü. dem König in der sogenannten Gastungspflicht standen, wenn er auf Reisen war, also ihn beherbergen und bewirten mussten.
      Die saalartigen (Palas-)Gebäude dienten für Versammlungen (Hoftage, Gerichte, Feste, etc.), zum Empfang und zur Bewirtung von Gästen. Die Pfalzen waren oft befestigte Anlagen eigentlich wie Burgen, nur weitläufiger mit Stallungen bspw. um den ganzen Tross aufnehmen zu können. Damals äußerlich noch nicht so repräsentativ bspw. dekorativ gestaltet, sondern ehern funktional wie Burgen.
      Später hingegen wurden königliche Paläste immer aufwendiger und verschwenderischer als die Könige nicht mehr ständig umherreisten. Es entwickelten sich Hofstaaten am Königshof, also Adelige, die die königliche Familie unmittelbar und ständig umgaben. Diese gab es auf dem Land oder als Stadtpalast.
      Als Schloss sieht man die Residenz an, wo der Souverän (Souveräne konnten auch Fürsten sein, nicht nur Könige und Königinnen) wohnt. Erweitert werden große Herren- und Gutshäuser u.U. auch als Schloss bezeichnet. Nochmal, als Palast sieht man repräsentative Gebäude mit Sälen zum Empfang von Gästen u.ä. an.
      Schloss Versailles in Frankreich (20km vor Paris) war der Landsitz (Sommersitz) des frz. Königs und ist gleichzeitig eine der größten Palastanlagen Europas. Zunächst lediglich als kleines Jagdschloss geplant wurde es später zur Hauptresidenz des Königs und seines mehrere tausend Personen umfassenden Hofstaats zum Palast (u.a. Spiegelsaal) ausgebaut.
      Der Louvre-Palast (Palais du Louvre) war Teil der Residenz des frz. Königs in Paris selbst. Zusammen mit dem Palais des Tuileries bildete er das Pariser Stadtschloss. Ursprünglich war er jedoch ein kompakter Festungsbau zum Schutz des rechten Seineufers. Als die Stadt jedoch wuchs und ein Mauerring die Stadt umgab, wurde er zum Residenzschloss umgebaut.
      Während der Hofstaat im Sommer aufs Land flüchtete, hatte der Landadel eigene Wohnsitze in der Form, die wir als 'Stadtpalais' (nicht Stadtpalast!) kennen. Das waren schlossartige Villen. Ursprünglich als Wirtschaftshöfe und Handelsstützpunkte gedacht, hatten sie Ställe, Scheunen und Trakte für Gesinde, wurden dann aber immer wichtiger um in der Nähe von Fürstenhöfen zu sein um mehr Einfluss und Ämter zu ergattern und damit Prestigeobjekte zur Repräsentation.
      Mit der Abschaffung der Grundherrschaft und des Leibeigentums kamen nicht-adelige, oft industrielle Unternehmer (Geldadel) in den Besitz solcher Stadtpalais. Und heute kann sich sprichwörtlich jeder (im Verhältnis) einen 'Palast' bauen, bzw. bezeichnet man (im Vergleich) teure, große, extravagante Häuser als solche auch wenn sie nicht unbedingt Festsäle haben. 😅
      Und da mein Kommentar noch nicht lang genug ist nun noch zum Kastell:
      1 zu 1 'kann' man das mit 'castle' übersetzen (Leo sagt mir Burg, Schloss oder Kastell), im Deutschen unterscheidet man aber im Kontext.
      Es gibt allgemein Burgen und diverse Typen von Burgen. So auch eine 'Kastellburg'.
      Diese stammen aus der Spätzeit des Burgenbaus, also haben mit Ritterburgen nicht mehr viel zu tun. Während frühere Burgen innen hochbauende Gebäude mit einer umschließenden Mauer/Befestigung haben, hat eine ideale Kastellburg Gebäude an der Innenseite des meist viereckigen Mauerzuges. Also die Außenmauern der Gebäude sind gleichzeitig die verstärkten Burgmauern. An den Ecken befinden sich Bastionen, die mit Wehrgängen verbunden sind und oft für Feuerwaffen (Kanonen) ausgelegt sind. Im Inneren findet sich ein Hof.
      Diese quadratische Form stell idealtypisch den Übergang vom Burgenbau zum noch befestigten Schlossbau dar, was wir dann im Gegensatz zu den nicht mehr befestigten Schlössern dann 'Schlossburgen' nennen.
      Redet jemand mit mir lediglich über 'Kastelle', so stelle ich mir eine mit einer Mauer befestige weitläufigere Art Kaserne für eine größere Anzahl von Soldaten mit mehreren einzelstehenden Gebäuden vor, wie es die Römer mit ihren Heerlagern bspw. gemacht haben.
      Alles klar soweit? Ich hoffe, ich konnte etwas beitragen, was Ihr noch nicht wusstet.

    The name Kassel is derived from the names Chassella or Chassalla. From this it can be concluded that it was a fortified house with a stone base, perhaps even a castle-like structure. The name is derived from the Latin word castellum. Immerse yourself in history. On February 18, 913, King Konrad I signed two documents in what was then Chassalla or Chassella - the first written evidence of the existence of Kassel.Kassel is therefore 1110 years old.

    Thing is, German settlements are usually pretty crammed. Another fact is that kids can be extremely enduring and f***ing loud. There are enough kids that emit enough noise to make the inside of living rooms of neighbours too loud to match work safety regulations for employees on their jobs.
    In Germany, a quarter of the U.S. population live on 1/27th of the USA's area, so the chances of annoying somebody else with the noise you make simply are much higher.
    Me, I live right next to Cologne/Bonn airport. When in 2010 the airport got closed due to the ash cloud ejected by Iceland's Eyjafjallajökull, I learned about that from the news. Most of the time I can't hear the airliners starting some 3 kilometres from my place over the noise in the street. I have the Physics-Toolbar app on my smartphone. This only makes very rough measurements, but an ambulance passing in the street getting measured at 105dB of noise level in my apartment is hefty, I'd say. Honking wedding parties, loud car engines and car stereos that inform da hood about the size of the driver's genitals, football championship celebrations in summer nights when it's too hot to keep a window closed…
    It's extremely loud in our country in many places and adding unnecessary noise to that of course is not welcome.
    So stop crying, whiny mom. Teach your children a somewhat more respectful kind of behaviour. It's bloody crammed Germany. I don't like it either, we all have to put up with it, though.
    I had to get along with that when I was a kid, too. I had a mother who taught me to do so.

    FYI: It wasn't the government or any authority putting the boulders down but the privately owned housing association and I'm pretty sure the expenses for delivering and taking them away will show up on their bill of utility cost at the end of the year. And yes, Germans really do hate noise but at the same time every day someone is mowing their lawn somewhere.

    You actually mentioned the real issue Germany has. At least where I am from (not Kassel), and in my opinion . Why does this kid has to play ball at such a crappy place? We replaced our playgrounds with parking lots until their are just tiny block playgrounds left which where never intended for ball games.
    Let's get back to letting old granny and grandpa play ping pong there and give our kids more and better suited playgrounds again.

      there is actually a law that basically says 'for x amount of households, there has to be a playground nearby' so no wonder in more packed areas there are some sad playgrounds because they had to squeeze something somewhere due to this law

    Kassel probably comes from castellus, so it refers to a castle or at least a fortified stone manor that was there. But the German word for castle is either Burg (medieval fortification with at least one tower) or Schloss (refers more to a palace like building).
    The Schloss Wilhelmshöhe (palace like castle) was built from 1786 to 1798 and the Löwenburg (also a palace but in a fake medieval look) with its many was built a few years later as a part of the park surrounding the palace.

    In our residential area, a playground should be built on a designated piece of land. All homeowners knew this in advance. But a woman, she had her property with a house right next to it, she wanted to ban the playground from being built there. Because she was unsuccessful with her lawsuit, she wanted to buy the property, but that wasn't approved either, the playground was built and the woman sold her house and moved away.

    Kassel, older writing Cassel derives from Chasella which is derived from the Latain word castellum.
    So Kassel does not means castle in German but the name and the English word castle derive from the same Latain word.
    In Kassel was a court of king Konrad I and king Heinrich II which was maybe not a real big castle but more of a fortified manor.

    With us in the village there is a new fellow citizen who has already complained against pretty much everything.
    Against ringing church bells, against a playground next to his house, which has been there for 50 years, against crowing roosters, oh yes, against the siren exercises on Saturday, too. He is of the opinion "Everything is not going at all, everything is much too loud."

    Often it's new people who move to the area/street and then start complaining about everything they don't like. The same happened near me. There was a proper football ground used by the local club built around 1935 or so. Someone moved in to a house next to the grounds and then started to complain about the noise when the team was training or the local league games were played at weekends. Normal people would expect to hear the noise before moving there, if you don't like it don't move there.

    She also tought me, that in Kassel (well at least in her childhood) there where three kinds of citizens (not in the eyes of the law or anything like that BUT in the eyes of the "elderly women" and the "elderly men" for sure...): those who moved in from different cities or areas - "Kasseler" those who where born and raised in Kassel BUT had been the first generation (parents came from out of town) "Kasselaner" and finally those who lived for several generations within the city: "Kasselener"

    And people living next to a playground complaining about the noise are their own kind of special breed.
