Bob Hunter Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Roughly, it honors the work and recognizes the worker but I will defer, in a heartbeat, to a native speaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Well, not being a native speaker either I'd still agree with Bob, although I might say respect the worker instead of recognise.Christ knows what it was for though, being a socialist worker's party they may just have had them hanging on walls in offices.One of the barracks I used to live in still has three massive iron (?) heads mounted on the front of one of the buildings, a soldier with tin hat flanked by what appears to be 2 metalworkers. Anyone else here know Moss Bank barracks in Bielefeld?Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Hunter Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 I will amend my statement to read "...native speaker or anyone more proficient in the language than myself." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris B. Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 (edited) Could be "Honour the work, respect the worker". Achten means to attend also.Like Achtung means pay attention. I think its one of those words that does not translate well. Edited August 11, 2005 by Chris B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
