 Advanced Audio Blog S2 #1 - The city of Halle | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 5:26

Learn German with GermanPod101! Don't forget to stop by GermanPod101.com for more great German Language Learning Resources! -------Lesson Dialog------- ----Formal ---- Die Stadt Halle an der Saale liegt im Süden Sachsen-Anhalts. Und wie der Name bereits suggeriert fließt die Saale durch sie hindurch. Die Stadt selbst hat über 230.000 Einwohner und ist damit die größte Stadt Sachsen-Anhalts. Gleichzeitig bildet sie mit dem nahe gelegenen Leipzig einen Ballungsraum, von dessen Bedeutung die gesamte Region profitiert. Halle wurde vor über 1.200 Jahren das erste Mal schriftlich in einer Urkunde erwähnt. Bereits damals war die Salzgewinnung von großer Bedeutung für die Stadt. Durch diesen wichtigen Wirtschaftsfaktor wuchs die Stadt schnell. Und auch wenn man sich im nahe gelegenen Bad Dürrenberg noch heute die Salzgewinnung vor Ort ansehen kann, hat das Salz als wirtschaftlicher Faktor für die Region an Bedeutung verloren. Die Salzgewinnung in Halle wird mittlerweile fast nur noch zu Demonstrationszwecken praktiziert. Allerdings haben sich Teile der Tradition erhalten. Das weiße Gold – wie Salz auch genannt wird – darf nur von Halloren gewonnen werden. Ursprünglich handelte es sich bei diesem Begriff um die Berufsbezeichnung der hallischen Salzsieder. Fälschlicherweise benutzt man es heute allerdings auch für Einwohner der Stadt, deren Familien schon über mehrere Generationen dort leben. Nach einem alten Text gibt es noch zwei weitere Sorten von Menschen in dieser Stadt - zum einen die Hallenser, also Menschen die in der Stadt geboren wurden; und zum anderen das scherzhafte Hallunke, welches der Volksmund manchmal für zugezogene Mitbürger verwendet. Allerdings wird man nur noch sehr selten über die Bezeichnung „Hallunke“ im Sinne eines zugezogenen Hallenser stolpern. Vor der Wiedervereinigung war Halle ein wichtiger Chemiestandort. Buna und Leuna produzierten nicht nur Wärme und Energie, sondern auch Plaste und andere Kunststoffverbindungen. In Zeiten in denen noch viele Arbeitskräfte gebraucht wurden, entstand Halle-Neustadt. Halle-Neustadt ist ein Teil der Stadt Halle, der fast nur aus Plattenbauten besteht. Halle-Neustadt wurde damals extra für die vielen Arbeiter in Buna und Leuna gebaut. Im Gegensatz zur Innenstadt ist Halle-Neustadt nicht historisch gewachsen, sondern wurde direkt in seiner heutigen Form entworfen. Nach der Wiedervereinigung wurden jedoch viele Arbeiter entlassen und Halles Bevölkerung schrumpfte von über 300.000 auf die heutige Größe zusammen. Daher werden in jüngster Zeit auch viele Plattenbauten abgerissen und durch Grünflächen ersetzt. Gleichzeitig ist Halle jedoch auch eine Universitätsstadt. Die Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg dürfte dabei die bekannteste Einrichtung sein. Andere wichtige Einrichtungen sind die Frankeschen Stiftungen oder die Leopoldina. Sie alle locken jedes Jahr viele junge Menschen in die Stadt. ----Formal English---- The City Halle an der Saale is located in the south of Saxony-Anhalt. And as the name already suggests, the river Saale flows through it. The city itself has more than 230.000 inhabitants and therefore it is the biggest city in Saxony-Anhalt. At the same time it forms a megalopolis with the nearby Leipzig, and the entire region profits from its importance. Over 1.200 years ago Halle was first mentioned in a document. Already at that time the production of salt held a lot of importance for the city. Because of this important economic factor the city grew very fast. Even though one can still watch salt production on site in the nearby Bad Dürrenberg, salt has lost his meaning as an economical factor for the region. By now the salt production in Halle is almost solely for demonstration purposes. However, some parts of the traditions were conserved. The [...]

I haven't been here for long, but I think that I'll have a nice time in Germany. Paul: And you? How do you find Germany? Sarah: Excuse me? I've lived here for two years already. Paul: I'm nevertheless interested in what you think of it. Sarah: It's somewhat cold here at the moment, but I like living in Germany. I like the people. Paul: And the beer! I'm sure that there isn't such good beer in Spain. Sarah: Why? Paul: Umm... the people in Spain prefer wine, don't they? Sarah: Perhaps. My parents drink lots of wine, but my friends and I don't. We prefer beer. --------------------------- Learn German with GermanPod101! Don't forget to stop by GermanPod101.com for more great German Language Learning Resources!
