HeikoGrusdat Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 this is not real german but the slang from Baden....sometimes it is better that not everything can be translated I translate you what he said exactly : "There we have three Baden sheep and the others are Baden hanging potatoes" So in free words....the stones in front of the castle ruin are sheep and the plants on the ruin are hanging potatoes....strange people these Badeners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
