5. That's Mad King Ludwig's Castle, Ugh... Neufchatel? No, that's the cheese....Neurwachtenstein? I can't remember - it was the inspiration for the castle at Disneyland though.

Germany!
1 The Berlin Wall
2 The German seat o' government--I believe it's the Bundestag, though a small part of me fears being told, you know, that's German for Tuesday.
3 The Brandenburg Gate
4 I believe that was the flag of the DDR, AKA East Germany.
5 Neuschwanstein, or Mad King Ludwig's Castle. Quite the Wagnerian play palace!

The Monday quiz goes to Germany!

1. The Berlin Wall was in Berlin.
2. There is a very large frat house under there, ready for a toga party.
3. I'm guessing that's the Brandenburg Gate.
4. That's an open-ended quiz question if I've ever heard one. Do I get credit if I tell you it's black, red, and yellow? I know it's a German flag, but I couldn't tell you if it's current or an older East or West German flag.
5. I never remember the name of this castle, but it sure is scenic!

DrSchnell said...

Oh, and the theme for the quiz is Germany, since I forgot to type that.

Kritkrat said...

1. Berlin Wall
2. Reichstag building?
3. Brandenburg Gate
4. Flag of East Germany

And spatzle is way better than schnitzel!

mhwitt said...

1. Berlin.
2. My greatest Lego masterpiece.
3. I don't know, but some kid is going to be pissed that his/her toy horse and chariot set was put so far out of reach.
4. It's a mighty purty flag.
5. Hogwarts / Mickey's Pleasure Palace (Euro Disney.)

Dan Nolan said...

1. Berlin

3. The Brandenburg Gate

Greetings from Germany!

1. The Berlin Wall in, duh, Berlin.
2. The Reichstag, or "German seat o' government" if you must.
3. The Brandenburg Gate.
4. The Flag of the former East Germany.
5. Neuschwanstein, or "Mad Ludwig's Castle"! Easy to confuse with the uncloaked Castle5000, except for its lack of flying buttresses.
