“*Rock Me Amadeus.”

-Falco

 

 * lyric from song recorded by Austrian musician Falco. To date, the single is the only German language song to peak at number one of the Billboard Hot 100. It was Falco’s only number one hit in both the United States and the United Kingdom, despite his popularity in his native Austria and much of Europe.

Hunger Stone :

Recent droughts in Europe once again made visible the “Hunger Stones” in some Czech and German rivers.

These stones were used to mark desperately low river levels that would forecast famines.

This one, in the Elbe river, is from 1616 and says: “If you see me, cry.”

“when the well is dry, we will know the worth of water.”
