Some interesting information about Bavaria, Germany, and the Finster family:

  • Bavaria is a country of high plateaus and medium-sized mountains. In the north are basalt knolls and high plateaus; in the northwest are the wooded sandstone hills of the Spessart.
  • The Bavarians spoke Old High German but, unlike other Germanic groups, probably did not migrate from elsewhere. Rather, they seem to have coalesced out of other groups left behind by Roman withdrawal late in the 5th century.
  • Rather than wave to your German friends, greet them by knocking on the table. It’s believed that knocking on oak is good luck because the devil isn’t able to touch the “holy” wood.
  • One-third of Germany is covered in forests and woodlands.
  • When children start school in Germany, they receive a Schultüte which is a cone of presents that helps to ease the stress of entering a new, serious life.
