Germany’s New Morgenthau Plan.

[zaangalewa]

The Celtic word for Heights/hills is Dün,

Like "Düne" in German (Düne=dune)

and for Hilly areas is Tēu

¿Teu? Like teu-tons? Don't worry: Teu-tons had been Celts. Nevertheless "deutsch" sounds similar but comes from the word "thiot".

The term Taunus derives solely from Roman Latin

No. The word "taunus" not exists in Latin. They overtook this expression - or another expression which they latinized. We Germans love it to overtake foreign expression into our own language. In the 19th century we overtook a lot of French expressions - which are now in most cases not used any longer. In the 20th century we overtook - and are still overtaking - a lot of English expressions - even in cases when much better German words exist. That's a question of aesthetics, style, taste, fashion and personality.

which had named a specific hill beholding a Celtic town&fortress, Castellum in monte Tauno - as such the Romans as usual used their own pronunciation or words for Celtic places.

E.g. Celtic; Ratas o bona - the Romans named it, Castra Regina aka a "Fortified camp at the river Regina (Regen)" - and therefore literally translated by Bajuwari (Bavarians) upon having occupied former Castra Regina into Reganesburg - Regen Castle, and today called Regensburg.

I heard "Ratisbona" and "Castra Regina" are only two of about fifty names of Regensburg. Many people think the river "Regen" in Regensburg has to do with this name for example. But I guess indeed it means just simple nothing else than "Regens"(from Latin "ruler") + "Burg" (verbally "castle" but similar to the word "polis" in Greece = "Gemeinwesen", community).

The Danube is by the way still today the river where most many different cultures live on the whole planet.

So to claim that e.g. Regensburg is a Celtic name deriving from Ratas o Bona, is simply wrong - just a claiming that Taunus derives from a Celtic word.

It is not "wrong". It's just simple another name for Regensburg. All around Regensburg exist many place names and town names with Celtic origin. The Celts once had been born in the area Regensburg - Prag, the area Bavaria - Bohemia.

The rest of your initial OP is also total bull - and the original Marshall plan for rebuilding Europe (ERP -European Recovery Plan) in 1947 included the Eastern European countries under Soviet occupation as well - However the Soviets refused it in regards to countries occupied by them.

Ask the Brits who got much more help from the Marshal plan how the Marshal plan had helped them really after World War 2. If they know what they speak about then they will tell you: not at all. And also the British Empire did not help the people of Great Britain. While there was already a post-war feeding frenzy in Germany, the British were still hungry.

Upon the Soviet refusual (a future rival/enemy of the USA having been officially identified) it was then extended onto occupied Germany in 1948, simply because the USA realized that an agricultural based State - would never produce the resources needed to fend of the Soviets, and they also needed a revived German economy to buy US products and to being able to pay back the loan.

no comment

BTW - it was Ford - aka (the good old anti Semite Henry Ford and Hitler admirer, who's German subsidiary named the successor of the previous Ford Eifel in 1939 as Ford Taunus. (Eifel - being the name of another hilly area).

My god. I'm really an idiot. The name was "Ford Taunus" not Opel. My mistake. A nice car the "Ford Taunus" - nicknamed "bathtub" (Ford Taunus 17m).

He is talking about Cordoba and the Moors.

[V]Andalusia was a Caliphate? ... Hm ... I see. ... It had been an Emirate and since 929 AD it became a Caliphate. This Caliphate broke down in a civil war 1009-1013 and was finally abolished in 1031. It broke into the later kingdoms Navarre, León, Portugal, Castile and Aragon and the county of Barcelona. ... They came under pressure between North-Africa (Muslims) and North-Spain (Christians) in the next 200-300 years. The Emirate of Granada kept to be the last rest of Vandalusia for another 150 years before it also was lost for the Islam.

[Kruska]

Like "Düne" in German (Düne=dune)

Not necessarily, since the Frisian/Dutch duin - actually translates into "loose material carried together" - whilst the Old-German language word for Hill is duno.

E.g. the Dünsberg from Celtic Dün (hill) and the German word Berg (castle). aka Hill-mountain.
And guess what - there are remains of a Celtic fortress/settlement on that hill.
Therefore the Celtic Dün - relates to a hill or hills that beholds a fortified settlement.
The well known signature of the Celtic civlisation - fortified settlements on hills.

¿Teu? Like teu-tons? Don't worry: Teu-tons had been Celts. Nevertheless "deutsch" sounds similar but comes from the word "thiot".

This is as you should know an extremely diverse and rather unknown issue.
The Celts in todays Middle-Southern Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Northern Italy belonged to the Celtic Alemans etnicity.
The Celts in todays Belgium, France, British Isles belong to the Celtic Gaellic etnicity

Due to a rising national desire for a common etnicity of German speaking territories starting from around 1830 and strongly propagated after the 1871 war - and put into extremes during the Nazi reign - this Germanic-Aryan bull came up. Archeological evidence meerly indicates or suggests that "unknown" ethnics started to move into Celtic areas starting from a round 800 B.C. to 200 A.D.

The Teutons had therefore clearly been intermixed Celts, since from around 400 BC to 200 AD they intermixed with incoming Northern European based tribes. stemming from today's Northern Germany, Scandinavia and today's Poland/ Czech areas. It was the Roman wars aka the expansion of the Romans that had weakened the Celtic tribes and their civilisation as a whole, so that they couldn't or simply did not put up resistance towards these other immigrating tribes.

The Roman/Latin Germani - simply translates into "foreigners banding together". or "foreigners of the same family"
Therefore the original writing used by nationalist minded Germans for Deutschland was Teutschland - aka land of the Teutons. Since these intermixed Celts referred to their own mixed ethnic in today's Germany as "theudo" - "das Volk" upon the Romans showing up.

Confusion was addtionally added by the English or the English language using this Roman term Germani to become Germany - since all other Celtic nations refer to Germany in reference to former non intermixed Celtic tribes - e.g. the French call us Allemagne deriving form the Celtic tribe of the Alemannen, Spanish call us Alemania, even the Turks call us Almanya.

No. The word "taunus" not exists in Latin.

Yes it does.
Tauni = taint/tainted or Verdorben in German
Taunu/taunus = plague

It could therefore well be, that the Romans beleaguered a Celtic fortress/settlement on that specific hill, causing a plague or a plague already existing on that hill settlement.
(the Romans were well know to catapult disease carrying animals or tainted food onto belagured Celtic fortesses/settlements).

They overtook this expression - or another expression which they latinized. We Germans love it to overtake foreign expression into our own language.

Therefore it seems convincing that the Roman term to describe this hill-settlement - was Tauni/Taunu/Taunus and as such simly being adopted into the later developing Old-German language.

I heard "Ratisbona" and "Castra Regina" are only two of about fifty names of Regensburg. Many people think the river "Regen" in Regensburg has to do with this name for example. But I guess indeed it means just simple nothing else than "Regens"(from Latin "ruler") + "Burg" (verbally "castle" but similar to the word "polis" in Greece = "Gemeinwesen", community).

The Romans called this river Reginus - later shortened to Regina - what are these other 48 names supposed to be?

The Danube is by the way still today the river where most many different cultures live on the whole planet.

Could well be, since the Danube is the longest and most fertile river in Central-Europe.

It is not "wrong". It's just simple another name for Regensburg. All around Regensburg exist many place names and town names with Celtic origin. The Celts once had been born in the area Regensburg - Prag, the area Bavaria - Bohemia.

It is wrong to correlate the name Regensburg to the previous Celtic name Ratas o Bona. Since Regensburg derives a 100% from Castra Regina. However the Roman church - claiming it's own controlled share of Regensburg took the former Celtic name and thus called their own posession/territory - Ratisbona.

Ask the Brits who got much more help from the Marshal plan how the Marshal plan had helped them really after World War 2. If they know what they speak about then they will tell you: not at all. And also the British Empire did not help the people of Great Britain. While there was already a post-war feeding frenzy in Germany, the British were still hungry.

No idea as to how or for what the Brits used their Marshall $$ - maybe investing it into their colonial possessions and colonial wars. ?

The Caliphate/Emirate of Cordoba/Granada was abolished/destroyed in 1492 - Columbus was one of those hired mercenaries that took part.

 

[zaangalewa]

Not necessarily,

Nothing in history is "necessarily" because history not knows experiments. It is what it is - and we are flying blind with many assumptions when we talk about history.

since the Frisian/Dutch duin - actually translates into "loose material carried together" - whilst the Old-German language word for Hill is duno.

Spoken out how? The French (Latin) origin of the word "mountain" in England is not really a "Berg" (=mountain) fro sonmeon who lives near the Alps for example.

E.g. the Dünsberg from Celtic Dün (hill) and the German word Berg (castle). aka Hill-mountain.

"Berg" not means castle. "Burg" means castle. But both words seem to have a common root. I guess both words come from the Indian word "bṛhán" = "high, great".

And guess what - there are remains of a Celtic fortress/settlement on that hill.

Keeps a problem: The Celts lived in open places without "fortress". That they had in later times to build fortresses was a sign of their decline.

Therefore the Celtic Dün - relates to a hill or hills that beholds a fortified settlement.
The well known signature of the Celtic civlisation - fortified settlements on hills.

What's a sign for the Germanic civilisation. In the beginning this buildings often had been nearly useless in case of outer military conflicts, They demonstrated power to the people inside. Trumps "Mar-a-Lago" or so of their time.

This is as you should know an extremely diverse and rather unknown issue.
The Celts in todays Middle-Southern Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Northern Italy belonged to the Celtic Alemans etnicity.
The Celts in todays Belgium, France, British Isles belong to the Celtic Gaellic etnicity.

"Alemania" is another word fro Germany. The Alemans are Germanics. The problem which you and many others have is very simple: You think in nationalism and ethnicies -. the people in former times thought in relations, tribes, "polis"-ies (=Communities) and alliances .- and many other very complex structures.

Due to a rising national desire for a common etnicity of German speaking territories starting from around 1830

¿1830? in 1806 the Holy Empire was dissolved. Germany started to exist in three parts - the "British" and "French" Prussians, the old German Austrians and the rest of Germany.

and strongly propagated after the 1871 war ...

You lost me. I will stop now to read what you say. You are a typical modern propagandistic "Dummschwafler" in my view to the world who thinks Germany is Prussia. The rise of Prussia was not German - the rise of Prussia had happend because of the growing [artificial and violent] nationalism in Europe, the USA and other places in the world.

 

[zaangalewa]

...
Yes it does.
Tauni = taint/tainted or Verdorben in German
Taunu/taunus = plague ...

You are mad. If a word not exists but you like to have it you have to manipulate what? Where from comes your not existing Latin word?

 

[zaangalewa]

The Caliphate/Emirate of Cordoba/Granada was abolished/destroyed in 1492 - Columbus was one of those hired mercenaries that took part.

A Caliphate is no Emirate. The Pope for example would be a Caliph without separation of state and religion. An Emirate is a principality.

In a very wide way to see it: [V+]Andalusia started about 700 AD and died in the end about 1450. A long time. 750 years. During this time it had been around the year 1000 for about 100 years a Caliphate (The Caliphate Cordoba) which never was really accepted - except in al-Andalus and parts of the Maghreb. As far as I heard this was a violent time in Vandalusia with civil wars.

 

[zaangalewa]

... It is wrong to correlate the name Regensburg to the previous Celtic name Ratas o Bona. Since Regensburg derives a 100% from Castra Regina. ...

Again: It exist about 50 names of Regensburg and the first roots had been for sure Celtic because all Celts had been born in this area. Still today many places all around have Celtic names. And Regens-burg means: Regens = Regent, government + Burg = well fortified city. Both together: Capital City. In the Capital City Regensburg lived the first Bavarian duke Garibald around 550-600 AD. In Regensburg had been by the way in the years 1663-1806 of the Holy Roman Empire the "Immerwährende Reichstag" = "Perpetual Reichstag". Regensburg had been in this time of history nearly in the middle of the Holy Empire.

 

[zaangalewa]

... The Romans called this river Reginus - later shortened to Regina ...

Reginus - male form. Regina - female form. The river is called "der Regen" in German. "Der" is grammatically male gender in German. In a most simple way the river overtook the article from the word "der Fluß" (the river) because the short form "der Regen" could also mean "der Fluß Regen". The word "Regen" on its own means only "rain". "The rain" = "der Regen" has also a grammatically male gender.

"Regina" means "queen". The Romans never had a queen."Castra Regina" verbally "Burg der Königin" = "castle of the queen" means perhaps only something like "rich and beautiful castle" - a gem or jewel or so. A relativelly peaceful place.

The name Regensburg has NOTHING to do with Reigning (Regieren), that's only a funny theory of yours.

As for German articles there is in general, no fixed rule - e.g. DER Rhein, DER Regen, DER Neckar, DER Inn, as opposed to e.g. Die Donau, Die Elbe, Die Weser. etc. etc. - which is why German is a difficult language for foreigners to learn.

There has never been a BURG (Castle) in Regensburg - the term Burg simply derives from the Roman term Castra - which stands for a fortified Roman Legionnaire encampment. (Ein befestigtes aka STANDLAGER). the term Castra later became Castel in the Italian language - aka Castle in English or Burg in German.

Just as another former Roman fortified Legionnaires encampment was called Castra Vindelicum - later Augusta Vindelicum (Augsburg) - whereby Vindelicum, derives from the Celtic Tribe of the Vendiliker, that had been living there. There had never been a BURG (Castle) see above.... explanation.

Another Fortified encampment was termed Castra Regina and had NOTHING to do in name with the already existing settlement which started to further develop and expand due to the Legionnaires camp. This settlement and it's following inclusion of the Legionaers Camp - was then called CASTRA REGANA

Castra Regana,
Regana ist eine keltische Benennung für Gewässer oder Flussläufe. and not the Celtic name of a specific River - the river later was named Regen due to Settlements name, Castra Regana.

Castra Regina - Universität Regensburg

www.uni-regensburg.de

Das römische Legionslager - and NOT the town
CASTRA REGINA

Am nördlichsten Punkt der Donau, einem durch die Einmündungen der Flüsse Naab und Regen wichtigen Fernverkehrsknotenpunkt, wurde unter Kaiser Marc Aurel seit 170 n. Chr. am Donauufer, gegenüber der Flussmündung des Regen ein festes römisches Standlager errichtet, wo ab 179/180 n. Chr. die im Laufe der Markomannenkriege neu ausgehobene legio III Italica stationiert war.

Your other posts and comments are meaningless - since you obviously do not understand, There is no such thing as a GERMANIC. aside from being displayed errantly in the English language as Deutsche being Germans. Terms like Germanien/Germane in todays DEUTSCHLAND were brought in by people trying to create an artifical "homogeneous" identity of the people speaking the same or related language/dialects.
In order to create a national unity amongsts seperate Kingdoms and Duchies, foremost pressed by Prussians - this Germania nonsnese was extremely emphasised due to the founding of DAS DEUTSCHE REICH in 1871 - and later further exploited and totally manipulated by the Nazis and their redicilous Aryan-Germanic Cult.

This entire Germanic Bull, wouldn't even exist, if them damn Romans wouldn't simply have called everyone living East of their Limes, about whom they has no idea or knowledge about, Germani. aka "foreigners belonging to the same family". thus refering to this entire Eastward territory as Germania.

Only White-power morons or some Nazi admirer will come up with and propagate this GERMANIC RACE, bullshit.

 

[zaangalewa]

The name Regensburg has NOTHING to do with Reigning (Regieren), that's only a funny theory of yours. ...

Latin "regens" = German: "Fürst, Regent" = English: "Prince, regent",
german "Burg" = English "castle"

Looks like you do not see a wood because of the trees in the wood. Regensburg has been the first capital of Bavaria. Bavaria had been this area around 400 years later:

This explains for example why the people in Regensburg also call their city sometimes "the northernmost city in Italy".

 

[zaangalewa]

... There has never been a BURG (Castle) in Regensburg - the term Burg simply derives from the Roman term Castra - ...

Where do you think could come from the English world "castle" which means in German "Burg"? The city Regensburg is the castle. Here was the "Herzogshof" - the Duke's home - near the Cathedral.

 

[zaangalewa]

... Only White-power morons or some Nazi admirer will come up with and propagate this GERMANIC RACE, bullshit.

Eh? What for heavens sake do you try to speak about, weirdo? Not only the Celts and Germanics but also the Romans are ancestors of the Germans. And if you speak with a Bavarian then you have sometimes the feeling to speak directly with Marc Aurel's imperturbability and steadfastness.

You are able to disagree with facts - but what is the sense to do so? You could easily find out that the original "Herzogshof" (Home of the dukes) was near the Cathedral of Regensburg on the other side of the place in front of the cathedral St. Peter. By the way - not far from both is today the city administration. And also not far - but the other direction - is the "porta nigra" from the Roman wall around the "castle" (= Burg); - it always had been part of the city wall of Regensburg in the last ~2000 years as long as the wall existed.

 

[zaangalewa]

No - only you, since you can't comprehend facts. ...

You are really mad - totally mad. Latin: "regens" = English: "regent, ruler".
German: "Burg" = English "castle".

... Latin castrum in its plural castra was used for "military encampment, military post" and thus it came into Old English as ceaster and formed the -caster and -chester in place names. Spanish alcazar "castle" is from Arabic al-qasr, from Latin castrum. ...

Even the Official Regensburg homepage doesn't agree with you - so what is it that you hope to achieve?

The English "Regent" derives from Latin "Regalis". Regen (name of a river) has nothing to do with the Latin word Regens - its simply a coincidence regarding the first 5 letters. And Kingdom - aka Koenigreich in Latin is Regnum.

And since Augburg simply sounds silly in German - and furthermore deriving from Augustus - it's called Augsburg
And the same applies to Regensburg - since Regenburg sounds silly, and would even translate into Rain-Castle.

The Roman Church named their part (possession) of Regensburg - Ratisbona. - deriving from the Celtic settlement named Ratas(o)bona, whereby Ratas as already explained is a Celtic word for River.

Therefore the name REGENSBURG was always in association with the RIVER REGEN

 

[zaangalewa]

Even the Official Regensburg homepage doesn't agree with you -

How could they agree with what? I never spoke with them.

so what is it that you hope to achieve?

Nothing. I wonder about your absurde behavior as I wonder meanwhile in general about the absurde behavior of English speaking people.

The English "Regent" derives from Latin "Regalis".

Unimportant. Regalis is an adverb with the meaning "kingly, bossy, despotic". Regens comes from the verb regere = "controling, leading" and is the substantive for ruler, sovereign, monarch, regent.

Regen (name of a river) has nothing to do with the Latin word Regens

The name of Regensburg is Regens-burg. The house of the Agilulfinger lived since the 6th century in Regensburg. Their head had been the duke of the Bavarians, the Alamanians and the Langobards. They lived in Regensburg since the 6th century. The Alamans (and Sueben) are calling the Bavarians "Boiern" what sounds like "Boio" (Bohemians). So today this all together would be the area Bohemia (Czech republic), Austria, Northern Italy, Switzerland and South Germany (Bavaria and Baden-Würtemberg).

This are the Roman Provinces Gallia cisalpina, Germania superior, Raetia, Noricum and a little part of Magna Germania.

- its simply a coincidence regarding the first 5 letters. And Kingdom - aka Koenigreich in Latin is Regnum.

Germans had no kings - Germans had dukes.

And since Augburg simply sounds silly in German

What a bullshit. Augsburg is one of the eldest cities in Germany - same is Regensburg - and nothing sounds silly in case of the name Augsburg. A wonderful city. The Roman name had been 'Augusta Vindelicorum' = 'City of Augustus in the territory of the Vindelics' .

- and furthermore deriving from Augustus - it's called Augsburg

So what?

And the same applies to Regensburg

No. Marcus Aurelius founded "Castra Regina" and it is not called now Aurelisburg. Would also be a nice name.

- since Regenburg sounds silly,

No idea what you call "silly". As well Augsburg and Regensburg are nice names in German and very nice cities in Germany.

and would even translate into Rain-Castle.

Eh? Good grief. Are you a Martian?

The Roman Church named their part (possession) of Regensburg - Ratisbona. - deriving from the Celtic settlement named Ratas(o)bona, whereby Ratas as already explained is a Celtic word for River.

I heard the older name "Ratisbona" for Regensburg is still used in Italy, Spain and Portugal. And the Danube is the main river in Regensburg. No idea where the name Regen for the river Regen comes from - verbally it means "rain" - but it could also mean for example "follow this river and you will come to Regensburg" - and the short name became "Regen". Or perhaps came this name from "Sich regen bringt Segen" = "To stir brings blessing".

Therefore the name REGENSBURG was always in association with the RIVER REGEN

If it is important for you then see it this way. I do not think this drives anyone nervous in Regensburg. Nevertheless the Danube since ever had been the very most important river in Regensburg and the brigde over this river in Regensburg had been the most important bridge for the whole occident, the whole western world. Reason: After the decline of the Romans no one had been able any longer to build big bridges for trades between the South and North. East and west had been connected via the river Danube but for South-North it needed a bridge. I heard the "Steinerne Brücke" = "Stone bridge" in Regensburg had been the first big building made with stones since the art how to make stable stone buildings had been lost together with the Roman civilisation. This bridge symbolizes the birth of a new world. Our world.
