Glaubt Ihr, er hat die Wahrheit gesagt?

Mein lieber Mann und ich sind zur Zeit in Deutschland unterwegs. Dabei haben wir in unserem Land, das uns immer wieder positiv überrascht, auch die Stadt Lübeck besucht. 

Perfekt eingestimmt durch eine hervorragende Fisch-Mahlzeit in einem urigen Lokal machten wir uns auf, Lübeck zu besichtigen. Zu unserer eigenen Überraschung fanden wir das Willy-Brandt-Museum höchst informativ. Das ehemalige Altenheim zeigte uns einmal mehr, in welch hervorragenden Verhältnissen wir heute leben - was noch durch unseren Besuch im Café Niederegger, seines Namens Spezialist für Marzipan, bestätigt wurde.

Die Aussicht vom St.-Petri-Turm auf Lübeck beeindruckte uns sehr. Wir nahmen daher zu gerne den Vorschlag einer Dame an, mit der wir auf dem Turm ins Gespräch gekommen waren, Lübeck außerdem via Rundfahrt von einem Boot aus anzuschauen.

Nachdem wir uns auf dem Sightseeing-Boot einen vielversprechenden Platz gesichert hatten, startete dieses in gemächlichem Tempo, gesteuert von einem jungen Kapitän.

Der Kapitän hielt sich während des Steuerns ein Mikrofon vor den Mund, und wir hörten aus den Lautsprechern des Schiffes erklärende Erläuterungen zu dem, was wir jeweils sahen.

Ehrlich gesagt, konnte ich mich jedoch nicht ganz auf den Inhalt der Ansagen konzentrieren, denn diese wurden derart geschliffen, klar und ohne Fehler gesprochen, dass es klang wie von einem Band. Während der ganzen Schifffahrt war es mir nicht möglich, die Wahrheit zu ergründen. Deswegen fragte ich beim Aussteigen den Kapitän, ob er tatsächlich live für die Ausführungen verantwortlich war oder ob diese im Hintergrund von einem Band abgespielt wurden.

Der Kapitän lachte laut auf: „Nein, das war keine Konserve! Das, was Sie vernommen haben, war ich!“ Zur Unterstreichung seiner Aussage sprach er noch mal kurz ins Mikrofon. Und in der Tat klang seine Stimme ganz genauso wie die, der ich vorher gelauscht hatte.

Ungläubig reichte ich dem Kapitän die Hand: „Ich kann es zwar immer noch nicht glauben, dass jemand so fehlerfrei und deutlich redet. Aber es hört sich ganz danach an, als wenn Sie die Wahrheit sagen, daher gratuliere ich Ihnen zu Ihren stimmlichen und sprachlichen Fähigkeiten.“

Tatsächlich bin ich immer noch ein wenig unschlüssig, ob der Kapitän wirklich glaubwürdig zu sein scheint, denn ich habe noch nie in meinem realen Leben gehört, dass jemand so perfekt sprach und es daher wie eine Aufzeichnung klang.

Daher bin ich jetzt gespannt, ob Ihr schon etwas Ähnliches erlebt oder eventuell sogar selbst solche sprachlichen Fähigkeiten habt.

Habt Ihr bereits einmal eine Stadt-Rundfahrt mit einem Boot gemacht? Kennt Ihr jemanden, der spricht, wie vom Band? Welche sprachlichen Fähigkeiten habt Ihr?

Immerhin weiß ich sicher, dass es wahr ist, dass ich meinen Overall, den ich Euch heute hier zeige, schon seit einiger Zeit besitze, aber immer noch sehr gerne trage …

Nehmt nicht alles für bare Münze - aber habt das Vertrauen, zu glauben, was zunächst als unwahr erschien!

Do you think he was telling the truth?

My lovely husband and I are currently travelling in Germany. In our country, which surprises us positively repeated, we visited the city of Lübeck.

Perfectly attuned by an excellent fish meal in a rustic restaurant, we set off to visit Lübeck. To our own surprise, we found there the Willy Brandt Museum highly informative. The former old people's home once again showed us the excellent conditions in which we live today - which was confirmed by our visit to Café Niederegger - a specialist for marzipan.

The view from the St.-Petri Tower to Lübeck impressed us very much. We therefore gladly accepted the suggestion of a lady, with whom we had had a conversation on the tower, to see Lübeck also via a round trip on a boat.

After we had secured ourselves a promising place on the sight-seeing boat, the boat started on a leisurely pace, steered by a young captain.

The captain held a microphone in front of his mouth while steering, and we heard explanations from the ship's loudspeakers about what we saw.

To be honest, however, I could not fully concentrate on the content of the declarations, because they were so polished, clear and flawlessly spoken that it sounded like played from a tape. It was impossible for me to fathom the truth during the whole boat trip. So when I got off I asked the captain if he was really responsible for the live performance or if it was played in the background from a band.

The captain laughed out loud: "No, that wasn't a tape! What you heard was me - live as you see me here!" To underline his statement, he spoke briefly into the microphone again. And indeed, his voice sounded exactly like the one that had spoken before.

Astound, I shook the captain's hand: "I still can't believe that someone can speak so flawlessly and clearly. But it sounds like you're telling the truth, so I congratulate you to your vocal and linguistic skills."

In fact, I'm still a little undecided if the captain really is credible, because I've never heard anyone who speaks that perfectly in my real life and that it even sounded like a recording.

So I'm curious now whether you've already experienced something similar or perhaps even have such linguistic skills yourself.

Have you ever done a city tour with a boat? Do you know someone who speaks like from the tape? What language skills do you have?

After all, I know for sure that it is true that I have had my overall, which I show you as outfit of today, already since a longer time, but I still like to wear this piece ....

Do not take everything at face value - but have the confidence to believe what at first seemed false!

No doubt this table and that chair in the hotel are made from wood ...

... and it is also true I love my overall.

We think our hotel room in Lübeck is nicely equipped ...

... even the sofa there is comfortable ...

... and the bath room quite modern.

But we are convinced the best if this hotel room
is the view to the city of Lübeck.

Our first walk in Lübeck led to this fish restaurant ...

... where not only the construction of the light is eye-catching ...

... it is in general pretty decorated.

But the best thing there are the meals:
I had fresh shrimps with scrambled eggs ...

... and my husband young herring with home fries.

Well-fortified we started our sight-seeing tour through Lübeck ...

... where we visited the Heiligen-Geist-Spital ...

... which has some rich sides ...

... but also a side that made us think ...

... as there was in the past an old people's home ...

... we saw in detail on the basis of this model.

The Willy-Brand-Museum has not only a beautiful garden ...

... we learned there in general a lot about this impressing statesman.

The town hall is coverd with black tiles ...

... and remembered us that Lübeck is world heritage.

Cafe Niederegger is famous for marzipan - rightly!

We enjoyed this view from St.-Petri tower ...

... which was even more beautiful due to the blue blue sky.

Finally we followed the tip we got
and took place in this boat for a sight-seeing tour.

We passed our hotel ...

... were impressed by this recreated boat by difficult youngsters ...

... and saw Lübeck this time even from other perspectives.

In this so-called "Reeperbahn" in the past were ropes produced ... 

... and this boat from World War II to is made from concrete -

now there is fortunately a club.

We found these allotment gardens very cute ...

... and recognized thise steel shores
that avoid that the towers of St. Mary's drift even more apart.  

This street is called "Schlüpferallee" ("Panties avenue")
as the inhabitants there hang out their laundry - including panties.

I'm still not sure if this young captain told me the truth
when he said that he spoke live - and I didn't hear a band ...

... but I know for sure we drove round Lübeck via a boat.

Our last walk led to the Holstentor ...

... and we enjoyed the wonderful view to Lübeck ...

... even from our hotel room at night.
Lübeck impressed us and we are happy we visited it!
