[@arminreindl7742]

+Comyu Calm down, there is no reason to be so angry. I'll admit that "independent" wasn't the right choice of words, but Salzburg was its own nation from 1328 to 1803 (during the time mozart was born), but it was also part of the Holy Roman Empire. Salzurg became the Habsburgs property in 1803 and part of the Austrian Empire in 1805. It was then taken over by Bavaria in 1810 and reunited with Austria in 1816. BTW I'm Austrian too.

[@GreenOnionBrother]

Daaaaamn, well pronounced in the beginning. I'm impressed. Even though "90% are Austrian" is only partially true. There is a saying, "every true Viennese man has a grandmother in Brno (which is in Czech Republic)". Vienna was one of the first melting pots in the world and some of their most common last names are of Slavic or Hungarian origin. Also, courtesy is technically important, but for true Viennese people a passive aggressive tone with a hint of condescension is a must.

[@matthiass.4947]

Lower Austria is called lower Austria, because in the middle ages austria was divided in "Österreich ob der Enns" and " unter der Enns", which translates to "Austria above the (River) Enns" and "under the (River) Enns". So Upper Austria is called "Upper" because its situated over the River and Lower Austria because its situated lower the Enns.

[@simonweiguny]

Oh well, and I thought it had something to do with the fact, that in former times maps were not oriented to the north, but to the east... so upper austria had been placed to the upper side of the (hand drawn) map and lower austria was on the lower side on the map...

[@EternalWordMinistry]

I think what it is presumed in the much more concise explanation by Mathias, is that upper and lower was often determined by the flow of the river, since water always flows downwards. In this specific case the River Danube flowing from west to east, the river Enns as a contributory river flowing from south to north, into the Danube forms the natural border of western/higher/ upper Austria from lower part of Austria along the river Danube.

[@dermaniac5205]

This can be said about pretty much any region that uses lower or upper in the name (in German). Upper refers to higher altitude and lower refers to lower latitude (which then coincides with upstream/downstream of a river, since revers flow from higher elevation to lower elevation thanks to gravity)

It is called Upper Austria and Lower Austria because of their position along the Danube River. Lower Austria is further downstream, much in the same way Upper and Lower Egypt worked.

[@MarcoWegleiter]

TacoSeniour This is not true, the border between Lower and Upper Austria is the river Enns. So Upper Austria is named because it lies on the „upper side“ - originally called „Österreich ob der Enns“ when it was Habsburg territory which became Oberösterreich („Upper Austria“).

[@0x777]

Actually it's the Enns river (originally they were called "Austria above the Enns" and "Austria below the Enns") that gave it its name, and that is also the river that separates them.

It's a bit ironic to hear someone say how quiet the Austrian mountains are in winter, when that is the time of year when those mountains are the most crowded due to tourism.

The south tyrol thing was actually kind of different. Austria was a looser of WWI so south tyrol was TAKEN AWAY from Austria because of a secret treaty, the treaty of London. In this treaty the Entente promised Italy South Tyrol when they help them fight Austria, wich they did. They lost lots of other parts, the Sudetenland for example, where also most of the people spoke german.

[@clemens379]

Italy had a tendency to switch sides in history, both in WW1 and in WW2. (They were part of the axis powers in WW2 and part of the "Dreibund" from 1892 until WW1, but switched sides later) And they got rewarded after WW1 by getting south tyrol. But nowadays, most south tyroleans don't want to go back to Austria because they got good deals from both countries, they can for example also use the health care system of austria in tyrol or if they study in austria, they are counted as austrians (which means higher quotas in comparison to EU-member states).

[@Icetea-2000]

ita-eng subber Okay Venetia makes sense, but why South Tyrol though? It was without argument completely Austrian and should I remind you how people were mistreated in the first decades after South Tyrol was Italian? They weren’t allowed to learn german at schools and were treated as second class citizens which makes you wonder why Italy wanted South Tyrol in the first place

[@Iapetus7849]

Le funny meme That is mostly true. Due to the dictatorship there was a strong attempt to italianize the land that partially succeded. Italy in the first place didn't want the whole Südtirol as it is historically called but longed for the Trentino which is the southern part of Tyrol and was/is inhabited mostly by italians. I guess we got the hole of it as a "consolation" from the allies since at the time Italy was far more interested in the dalmatian coast (with italian minorities) that we didn't get in the end

"Spazieren gehen" literally just means "go for a walk". It's as much a word for "go for a walk" as "go for a walk" is a word for "go for a walk". I fail to see what is noteworthy about this.

[@KendrixTermina]

[@xxxpyrosxxx]

Well, it is something we do. Like, you are bored in the evening, so you ask someone lets go for a walk. You want a casual Date with someone, you ask them, to go for a walk, if you are not inviting them over for coffee. Spazieren is also something the youth does. 16 year olds will go for walks just as likely as old people do.

[@CaughtRedHanged]

well, if you would have spent decades in this country (no, I didn't grow up there so I know the difference), you start to realize it's a metaphor for Austrian culture, much more than the German "spazieren gehen" and the English "going for a walk". "Gemma spaziern", implies: "we don't talk face to face most of the time (aka confront our differences or even debate anything) and use the surroundings as inspiration for casual remarks (or are they strategic pointers well hidden?). Bottom line is: to get to know each other without admitting it (which having lunch/dinner/coffee etc kinda would).. It all seams casual but everyone is scanning verbal (and often nonverbal) information for subtext. A relaxed tolerance of complete ambivalence (some may want to call it a bit oportunistic:-) is key in Austria. There are no German or English words for "JeinJain" (the spectrum between yes and no). But there is an Austrian one: "Eh". And without understanding it connotations, being socially accepted may prove to be rather difficult.

[@GenGre]

Honestly shocked how amazingly close you where on everything. Love it.

[@christendomempire5657]

As an Australian i have always wondered why we have similar names.

[@CaughtRedHanged]

Well in short to quote wikipedia: "The Old High German name parallels the Middle Latin name ("eastern borderland"), alternatively called . The shorter Latinized name is first recorded in the 12th century. It has occasionally led to confusion, because, while it renders the Germanic word for "east" it is reminiscent of the native Latin term for "south", Latin australis meaning southern, and dates back to 2nd century legends of an "unknown southern land" (that is terra australis incognita)" and then turned to be the name giver for Australia. In the 90s some few postcards I sent back home, ended up in Australia, or sometimes, so I told them :-)

[@thesmallestdaltonbrother2176]

it sounds almost the same because austria is not called austria. its österreich in german. there is no connection between austria and its true name. its just a mispronounced version. the name comes from ostreich, which directly translates to eastern kingdom.

[@lifeofabronovich7792]

Australia comes from the Latin "Terra Australis" meaning "Southern Land." Austria is an anglicization of the German "Österreich" meaning "Eastern Realm" (it's still called this in German today) So it's merely a coincidence that the two country's names are similar.

[@antoni-olafsabater9729]

South Tyrol is actually unofficial Austria, Almost all speak German!

[@jmkbartsch]

That's kind of difficult. Yes, in cultural / ethnic Austrians are German, but after the Second World War both Austria and Germany were very anti-nationalistic, so they both never tried to unify and nowadays both, Germans and Austrians alike, rather see themselves as part of a united Europe. The EU has played a major role in German economic success and Austria is also one of the core-beneficials alongside Germany, France, the BeNeLux and the nordic countries. So there really is no need for national feelings towards Germany right now. But whoever wants to see himself as a German, feel free. Germany is open to whoever shares it's values.

[@modestoney1577]

+Oğulcan Kırmızıaltın No, they are not.

[@modestoney1577]

+jmkbartsch Austrians are as german as Americans are english

[@jmkbartsch]

+Modestoney I would say that Austrians and Germans are closer than Americans and British, because a) they are ethnically way closer (USA being made up of hundreds of ethnicities) and b) because they are only seperated for about 70 years while the US and the UK have been seperated for over 200 years. But yes, the comparison is still kind of fitting. I would rather use 2 countries like Norway and Island or maybe UK and Scotland ( with the difference that scotland is still part of the UK while Austria is not a part of Germany)

[@modestoney1577]

+jmkbartsch Well, Austrians are a mixture of ethnicities as well and Germans are only one of them. In Vienna practically everybody has ancestors from Hungary, Czech Republik, Slovakia,...in Burgenland you have the Croatians and Hungarians in Carinthia you have Slovenians...not only as ethnic minorities but also mixed in with "german" Austrians. So ethnically Austrians are not just german - and besides the language Austria has always had it´s own identity reaching back hundreds of years. Austria and Germany are not just seperated for 70 years - they were seperate before and just joined together for a short period in the 20th century. But yeah, the comparisons to Scotland/UK and Norway/Iceland are quite fitting. Of course there is a shared history and culture - the biggest part being the language - but there is no identification with Germany for 90% of all Austrians, according to a survey some years ago. So in short: Austrians are not Germans, Scots are not Englishman, Icelanders are not Norwegians, etc......

The "Upper" and "Lower" thing is easily explained. Upper Austria is further upstream of the Danube River, while Lower Austria is further downstream. Egypt is a comparison that is easier to understand, where Lower Egypt is at the terminus of the Nile (in the north), while Upper Egypt is upstream (down south).

[@davids1739]

Well really its just because of the names of the territories of the former empire. They used to be called Austria above the Enns (Österreich ob der Enns) and Austria below the Enns (Österreich unter der Enns). Eventually this changed to Upper Austria (Oberösterrich) and Lower Austria (Niederösterreich). Its also worth noting that during the Nazi regime, in an effort to discourage identifying as Austrian (as opposed to German), Austria, Upper Austria and Lower Austria were renamed Ostmark, Upper Danube (Oberdonau) and Lower Danube (Niederdonau) respectively.

So Austria was kinda forced to. If you want to know why... ---> en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Saint-Germain-en-Laye_(1919)

This is amazingly accurate, I actually learned something new. And I was born and spent 85% of my lifetime IN Austria. Must have been a shitload of work to research. Great work, dude, even after 6 years pretty spot on.

Austrians are the most clever people in the world. They have somehow convinced the world that Beethoven was Austrian and that Hitler was German.... ;-)

[@Wutfuchs]

+Iciness TV MOZART ... not Beethoven. its rly not that hard, if you wanna try to be a smart ass do it right. And MOZART was born in Salzburg. At the day of his birth Salzburg wasn't ether Germany or Austria. It was simply Erzbischofstum Salzburg...

In Switzerland we have a joke about the austrian flag: When a german wonder what's the best country to go for working he look the flags. one have a plus, the other a minus, so they go to Switzerland

Plus and minus means perfect balance
