Note: "Geborgenheit" took second place in a German contest for the most beautiful German word. It was submitted by Annamaria Musakova of Slovakia (die Slowakei), who liked it because in her language it isn't possible to express the German concept of "Geborgenheit" (which also implies warmth, comfort, and safety). This week we present the top five winners, with the number-one word tomorrow. Over 22,000 entries were received from 111 countries for das schönste deutsches Wort contest.
