Facts in German - Tatsachen auf Deutsch

About our German-English Almanac

If you're looking for facts in German, now you know where to start. Find the German names of the world's longest rivers or the Top 20 most-used German verbs (with conjugated forms). Unlike a paperbound almanac, our bilingual "Tatsachen auf Deutsch" pages can also link you to more detailed information. Just click on a river (der Amazonas), a mountain (die Zugspitze) or a verb (werden) to find out more about that word or topic.

The almanac pages can help you with grammar as well as geography and other topics. Not only will you discover the length of the Danube (in kilometers and miles) but the gender of its German name: die Donau. You can also find a complete German-English list of all 112 of the known chemical elements — with their symbols and atomic weights.

Here are some of our almanac listings. For the complete list, see Tatsachen auf Deutsch.

  • Austria Today - Everything you ever wanted to know about contemporary Austria, its geography, and its recent history. With map.
  • Germany Today - Everything you ever wanted to know about Deutschland, its geography, and its recent history. With map.
  • Berge - A German-English list of peaks and mountain ranges around the world.
  • Chemische Elemente - A German-English guide to the basic elements and their discoverers.
  • Flüsse der Welt - A German-English glossary of selected rivers around the world, ranked by length - with their genders.
  • Top 20 der deutschen Verben - An annotated German-English list of the most frequently used verbs in German, many with links to their full conjugations.
