Pupils to the fall of the Berlin Wall and German history: "Is era the first or last name of Honecker?"

Germany celebrates the fall of the Berlin Wall - but it is only with the necessary background knowledge that pupils will realize how special this anniversary is.

The facts about the German division and the fall of the wall in 1989 should be taught in the school - but not everything remains hanging. Some students are seriously wondering if Hitler or the Allies built the wall.

Others simply seem to be elsewhere with their thoughts - in the answers to political systems and alliances, a few favorite topics appear. It's about food and unicorns, cell phones and body fluids.

In history, famous figures such as "Karla Marx" or "Heil Hitler" suddenly emerge, and students tell of curious historical events such as the "Sturm auf die Bazille" and the German "invasion of the student country". Maybe the cause is an acoustic problem in the classroom? Possibly - but unfortunately it takes teachers in the exams then pretty much.

Many history and political teachers have followed the SPIEGEL appeal to send in their lessons the funniest student answers - style flowers, retreats and the best excuses, from elementary school to high school. They are gathered in the third volume of the funniest student answers: "Name three strings: violin, viola, limoncello".

The most beautiful aberrations about German history and politics from all three volumes read here in the photo gallery:

A chapter of the book is also devoted to a new perspective: that of the student to their teachers. "Our music teacher and choirmaster played his piano exclusively without his teeth," says a former student, "he laid it down on the piano in front of him."
