Hummel, Hummel
by Leipzig
Favorite thing: In the early 18th century lived a soldier in Hamburg who was very popular by the kids due to his interesting stories about the world. Everytime they saw him they called "Hummel, Hummel" in order to hear an interesting story. When the soldier died an embittered man named Johann Wilhelm Bentz (1787 -1854) moved into the soldier's flat. As the kids also greeted him with "Hummel, Hummel" he answered "Mors, Mors" which means something like "kiss my ass". However, it has become a popular greeting in Hamburg.
