  • Sabrina Hernandez Thesis Adviso
    Bavaria: More than Just Oktoberfest Bayern: Mehr als nur Oktoberfest An Honors Thesis (HONR 499) by Sabrina Hernandez Thesis Advisor Dr. Laura Seset Ball State University Muncie, IN November 2017 Expected Date of Graduation December 2017 2 Abstract In this paper I discuss several aspects of Munich and Bavaria. The city is a central hub for the region that has its own unique history, language, and cultural aspects. The history of the city' s founding is quite interesting and also has ties to the history of the German nation. The language spoken in Bavaria is specific to the region and there are several colloquialisms that are only used in Germany's southernmost region. The location of the city is also an important topic discussed in the paper as well. Acknowledgments I would like to thank Dr. Laura Seset for advising me throughout this process. Her help and support throughout the process was more than I could have asked for in a thesis advisor. Her encouragement to go on this trip was something that drew me to these unique experiences that I would not have had, had I not decided to go on this trip. I would also like to thank her for helping me improve my German writing abilities, which was incredibly helpful during my time abroad. Vielen Dank Frau Seset, ohne Ihnen hatte ich dass nicht geschaft! I would also like to thank my parents for encouraging me throughout all four years here at Ball State and for providing me with the opportunity to study abroad. Without their support and encouragement this would have been an impossible task.

    Themenbereich, Kapitel 1 One of the highlights, if not the highlight, of the “Year of Energy” is the exhibition “Dis- coveries 2010: Energy,” which is on display on Mainau Island on Lake Constance from May 20 to August 29, 2010. Known as the “Flower Island,” Mainau is not only popular with tourists and a favorite spot for day trips, but is also known as a historic site for the environmental movement. In 1961 Count Lennart Bernadotte, the owner of the island, formulated the “Mainau Green Charter” as a public manifesto for nature protection and environmental resource management, anticipating what has later been termed sustai- nability. Since then, Mainau has been developed by the Bernadotte family as a kind of ecological paradise, showcasing the beauty of nature. In 2009, the Bernadotte family, in collaboration with “The Nobel Laureate Meetings at Lindau,” was able to present a small exhibition on the overarching theme of water. This exhibition was primarily financed by the Federal Ministry of The Center aims to foster local, national, and international dialogue and analysis of the interaction between human agents and nature; it aims to in- crease the visibility of the humanities in the current discussions about the environment; and it will help establish environmental studies as a distinct field of research and provide it with an institutional home.

  • Sample Itinerary Location: Munich, Germany (For the Oktoberfest
    Sample Itinerary Location: Munich, Germany (for the Oktoberfest celebration) Prepared by “Local Cousin” Isabella 1 Trip Background: Anna is visiting Munich, Germany during Oktoberfest this year with her husband Chris from New York. It is their first time to Germany and they want insider tips from a local on how to navigate the largest beer festival in the world and ensure they get the real “local experience”. Since they are spending five days in Munich they also want to see the heart and soul of the city from a local’s point of view and take in a few popular sites. Lastly, they want to eat where the locals do and want to visit some hole-in-the-wall eateries (and maybe sneak in one nice meal!). They don’t have any dietary restrictions and want to stick with German cuisine for most of the trip (Chris also has a sweet tooth!). General Information: Oktoberfest is the largest beer festival in the world. It is held annually over 16 days and this year it is being held from September 17th – October 3rd, 2016 in Munch, Germany. This is peak tourist season full of locals, families and people in search of a good beer! Here are some helpful tips for you to get around: When you visit Oktoberfest, use public transportation and Uber is another popular option. The infrastructure in Munich is excellent and the U-Bhan (electric rail system) can bring you right to where the action is. If you drive, it’s difficult to find a parking lot. Oktoberfest is full of rollercoasters, fun houses and beer tents.
