Amusing German place names

There's a place between Düsseldorf and Aachen called Titz.

Off-topic - In Sweden, between Helsingborg and Gothenburg, there's a place called Bastads.

And again off-topic, the famous Fücker driving school is in the next village to me, a village called Kapellen in Grevenbroich.

There's also a town called Wankum just off the A40 towards Venlo

Couldn't resist the ski resort of Wank down near Garmisch.

What do you call the people who live there?

You can say, "I went to Wank in Germany", "I'm going to Wank", etc, etc...

Also not a place name, but...

I saw a van with "Schag Elektroreparatur" on it yesterday. I thought "Ah, so that's where ladies go if their 'personal massagers' break."

Saw this last night on Türkenstrasse. The name of the store is bad enough - Suckfüll - then they go and hang this sign in the window.

Hi,
there is a hotel in the small village Neuharlingersiel at the North See called "Mingers Hotel"..

Lovely place to stay, though.

Driving through Schleswig-Holstein last weekend we saw lots of signs for "Büsum" - knowing this village since I was a child I never noticed how funny it must sound for English ears...

There was also a road leading to "Witzwort".

In England we've been to Clithereoe must be a satisfying place to live... for a woman...

edit: forgot, there's also a town called Kockwitz and another one called Möseln

Or "Spent all day on the Wank".

For the unbelievers:

Feuchtwangen is a good one to start with, translated it means "wet-cheeks".

What on earth is POPPENWIND about then?

We've been thru this one before. It always ends in the place Wank in Austria.

incidentally there's a place that's Föching near us.

And here's another previous thread - Fucking - a town in Austria

Or this - Funny German Names

Ok, it's Austria but... there is a place calling F*cking

I went through Kissing yesterday.

I went to a place called Cockum (not sure if it is spelt correclty) Which i believe is near RAF Ramsdine (again the spelling)

Not good too early in the morning :-(

No dirty connotations but I discovered a place called Böpfingen over the weekend. Could be the cutest name for a German town I've ever heard.

Smiffy, there is a place on the mosel called cochem, was that it?

not a place name but i had a school teacher (here in gemany) called Herr Fachinger

Cockem near RAF Ramsdine.
Sherlock tells me it's probably
Cochem near USAF Ramstein (if 150km is near!)

Wildermann is an area in Dresden.

Poppen is another word for vögeln, so...

Back to the old favourite of Wank

If you go to The Lodge in Garmisch (at the base of one of the ski lifts) you can order a Wank burger...

In PEP they have a Asian restaurant, and they have a special called "hot cock". Not particular german, but you would not see that in Canada. I giggled anyway when I saw it, and what the hell I ordered it too. It was some good cock.

Poppenwind = birds' wind? Is this for added propulsion?

...sort of an avian afterburner?
I have this image of a herd of birds hurtling about the sky at a great rate of knots...*pffhht* *pffhht* *pffhht*

I didn´t mean Vögeln as in Birds, I meant ficken . Poppen and vögeln are both alternatives for the F-word.

Poppenwind: Farting during sex???

There used (15 years ago) to be an excellent Chinese restaurent at the west end of the Reeperbahn in Hamburg. There the menu was in 3 languages. "Geröstete Ente" was translated as "Roast Donald"

Hahaha...thanks Willum!! My German speaking/comprehension is in its infancy...endeavouring rectify this as my wife and I will be visiting Munich (Munchen) next year while holidaying in Bavaria. What a great site TT is...

Apteryx, you´re welcome! Glad to be of service !

And there was I, trying to avoid saying f...!

Well you could avoid saying it by taking Leo's definition: 'to bonk', or 'to shag someone' (chiefly British saying).

Saw this in the back window of a car I was driving behind recently. Nearly wrecked the car...

Edit: Ok...that's a lot smaller than I thought it would be. The sign says Auto Wankdorf Ag Bern.

...nearly wreckin my eyes trying to read it...

I fixed it. Thanks KD!

The Swiss national sports stadium is in Wankdorf and by amazing coincidence also called that. Great advert for Swiss sports.

Wrong! Wank is in Garmisch-Partenkkirschen (D)

You seem to have mixed up your cherry with your church!

Just outside Freiburg, you will find Titisee and down near rosenheim, theres Petting

Up here we have Hodenhagen. Hoden = balls.

Isn´t there a place in Bavaria called Tuntenhausen = houses for Drag-Queens, more or less.

Indeed there is: http://www.tuntenhausen.de/

I went there just to take a photo of the sign. And...to my great delight...the pub was called the Föchingerhof! Oh how we laughed!

Anyway I'm glad you are all as sad and as sick as me who has been chuckling away at all these things for years!

By the way, check out Bummstrasse! Google Maps woohoo!

Dickhardstraße in Berlin

In Freising there's a street called Gaymannstrasse.

an unfortunately named, but good, restaurant near my office. apparently in german the connotation is more like an "aroma attack," which is (i guess) more appealing than an "offensive aroma."

I'm updating some customer records and just came across a place for all those who no longer care - Focketstraße in Laupheim!

I saw a village called Kuntfartwankpissenhof!
Or did I dream it?

The Fuggers were a historically prominent group of European bankers. The Fuggerei, founded by "Jacob Fugger the Rich" is a walled enclave within the city of Augsburg. The Fuggers had their own Fuggerschloss in Kirchheim. Well, fugg me.

marvellous thread!
I have been collecting a few similarly highly amusing place names as i see them!
make me laugh everytime!

There´s a place in Butjadingen called Tossens.

Oh, and there´s a Sickstr. in Stuttgart,

There is an Assling just south of Munich, Bonner Platz is always a good one. And a shop called Ass Sherer at Ostbahnhof on Friedsomethingstrasse.

or how about this bus I passed on the A9 the other day
