I kind of agree with your sentiments, but I do like some of the State quarters, especially the California John Muir / Yosemite quarters.

This guy got his own quarter?

I don't understand it either, but I have an uncomfortable feeling that the destination blind on the bus, namely Buchenwald, might have something to do with it.
Of course, it's one of the bus-lines in Weimar. Where else should it be? ;)

German humor, dry and cynical.

Even when we know the punchline, we still don't get it. :rolleyes:

Hold on, just Googled 'Buchenwald' ....it was a nazi concentration camp created in 1937. You've gotta hand it to the Germans, they certainly know how to laugh.

Not to name the busline "memorial" and so on , but rather just "Buchenwald", as nothing would have changed since 1938.

Humor like Austrians. ;)

Ah, Gedenkstaette Buchenwald.

I suppose that the local name Buchenwald was there before the camp. When I lived in Bavaria there were many Buchenwalds around as it just means a place with Beech trees.

No, there was no locality before the camp. And that's the curious thing, that Buchenwald is an official locality with town-sign, but there are no private homes.
