The Society for German Language (@_gfds_) have announced their 'Word/s of the Year'. Let's go through them!
1 & 2 are 'Corona-pandemie' and 'Lockdown'. Duh. Fairly self-explanatory there.
3 is 'Verschwörungserzählung' is, essentially, 'conspiracy theory'.

With the news of *another* case of sexual cannibalism in Germany out there, maybe it's time to go over the fact that, well, eating folks has a long history there...
Let's make something clear first, however: Archaeologists, historians and anthropologists *hate* saying that cannibalism was unequivocally practiced at a site - so let's take everything with trace amounts of salt - there could be other explanations, of course...
The story starts around 7,000 years ago in South-West Germany, at a place that is now called Herxheim. While building a new housing development, archaeologists doing an inspection found the remains of 1,000 people who appear to had been eaten...

Members of Patriotic Alternative, an emergent UK extreme Far Right group, swear they're not fascists.

Well, the co-leader, Laura Tyrie, recently went and married a former member of prescribed terror group National Action, Sam Meliá.

But wait, there's more... /1
Sam Melia is the bloke behind the 'Hundred Handers' (check the alliteration) a stickering campaign that spread hate messages across the UK & US last year, as @HopeNotHate revealed. /2 hopenothate.org.uk/2020/08/11/exp…
This might explain tweets today. Tyrie claims that her and Melia were attacked by 'Antifa' in Rotherham.

Considering Melia's handiwork, it's likely they weren't there picking up a new coffee machine at Curry's. /3

Stuttgart has its own electoral madness - and mini-Trump. We choose a new mayor this weekend, and one of the candidates is this guy, Michael Ballweg. /1
Michael Ballweg is deep into the 'Querdenker' movement - an organizer, in fact. This takes him to rallies where he speaks alongside members of Far Right groups and anti-vaxxers who oppose masks and lockdowns. /2
Michael Ballweg claims that his company, that produced software, was boycotted due to his political belief.

Really, Bosch, Thyssen-Krupp and another company ended contracts with him last year because he discontinued the product. (German) swr.de/swraktuell/bad… /3

I think we've had enough of real life horror, so here's a 'true' tale from Niederbayern - lower Bavaria.

Depending on your attitude towards the supernatural, it's either a true tale of the restless dead, or a strange case of mass hysteria - both uniquely chilling... /1
Tittling is a small town near Passau, in Bavaria. It's roughly equidistant from both the Czech and Austrian borders, and is surrounded by thick, dense woods. It's a place that's still a little behind the rest of the world, in a strange sense... /2
At the beginning of 1975, drivers travelling between Tittling and the town of Thurmannsbang started to report coming across a woman in black - normally aged in appearance - hitchhiking by the side of the road.

Some of these drivers picked her up... /3

Awesome! Archaeologists have excavated an entire Celt grave from the ground on the Heuneburg, near Herbertingen, in the German state of Baden-Württemberg.

Let me tell you why this 'Keltenblock' matters. /1
First, the Heuneburg is a very significant site. It shows evidence of settlement over centuries, during the Iron Age. What's more, unlike the vast majority of Celt settlements, this appears to resemble a 'city' - a large trading and residential complex. /2
Indeed, Heuneburg bills itself as 'the first place/city in Germany'. It could be the very first city in northern Europe. Herodotus, the Greek historian, appears to refer to it as 'Pyrene' - a large trading centre. /3
