Subject: museum in Hamburg

Moien,

Hamburg recently opened a museum dedicated to those who emigrated from
Europe - since it touched on quite a few topics that were discussed here I
thought it appropriate.
http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/0,1518,492388,00.html
This was brought to my attention by a friend who is from that area and knows
of my interests in language. While a very mean skat and doko player - his
pet theory is that  Hamburg was  originally part of the territory inhabited
by the Chamavi who are the true ancestors of today's Lower Saxon speakers,
and the   tribal name is the root of the city's name- I think is off the
mark. Put it down to more gray hairs on my head that I would rather not
think about or stuff that rattles around and gets mixed in the old noggin
but I thought that the Chamavi were Frankish and not Saxon speakers. Any
thoughts?

Also while tripping around on the net I came across Herman Rempel's Low
German dictionary. I can't remember if he or his work was mentioned here but
I think that it ties in with somethings that Ron (I hope?.....) posted
concerning Low Saxon speakers in the Vistula/Gdansk and then Russia.
here is the link

take care,
Larry

Hi, Larry, and thanks!

That museum you mentioned appears to be the same one I announced at the
Travel site:
