Hello Robert, Anne, list,
"Anger" is a medieval German word which means "place, covered by grass" or,
more concrete: a public place like a meadow f.e. which could be used by all
inhabitants of a village or a small town, for meeting, coming together, for
dancing, for herding the cattle during the night. This meaning has a
pleasant aura of common life, relaxation, celebration, intimacy.
If you like, please listen to "Uf dem anger", a medieval poem with music by
Carl Orff (Carmina Burana) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8FR5tft6G0 ,
evoking the villagers on the "Anger", celebrating the beginning of
springtime, the awakening of nature after a long winter (Anne Black in the
Rockies, listen!).
As I already wrote on the German meteorite forum, I knew Christian only by
email-exchange. I sent him the last mail on dec. 10th, only four days before
he died. He was so patient, open-minded and friendly, this sudden death is
really hard to believe.
So let's stay together.
With best regards,
Matthias

Anne had written :
"Hello Robert and all,
From an ancient German French Dictionary I have here,
"Anger" meant meadow or pasture.
A much more peaceful, pleasant, and appropriate meaning.
Maybe someone from across the Atlantic can come up with a
better tranlation.

Thank you, Anne. You are right. That "translation" is MUCH more
appropriate and fitting for the happy nature of Christian.
Sincerely,
Robert Woolard
