“Mit Ochsen — Wassers und Windes Kraft
So Ihr Geschickt — Euch Wohlstand Schafft”
“With the Power of Oxen, Water, and Wind,
Just So You Smartly Create Welfare for Yourselves”
From my visit to the Deutsches Museum.
And one of the many exhibits of German technological creativity for good…and one for bad.
I finally noticed this post. Perhaps interesting… I visited a “German technology museum” in Russia, the firm that used to be in charge of Soviet aerospace electronics. Among other things, they showed me what they claimed was still their best machining equipment — it was all German stuff the Red Army had liberated in 1945.
