Lebensbaum Time for tea
The German language has its own unique expressions for every situation. Or so a large part of the English-speaking world is convinced of at least. Especially the newspapers in the UK love to make the almost inexhaustible German vocabulary a subject of discussion. Every summer, they publish some lists of words for which there is no comparable counterpart in English. German journalists are envied by their English colleagues for words such as “ Erklärungsnot“ (= to come under pressure for failing to offer an explanation) or “Torschlusspanik“ (= to be worried that one has missed the boat). The readers, however, rather enjoy funny word creations such as “Sitzfleisch“ (= the ability to sit still) or „innerer Schweinehund“ (= one's weaker self). Nevertheless, the German language guards are not tired of denouncing the increase of anglicisms. In England and America, the extension of vocabulary is not quite as selective. All is permitted that works. Especially in the humanities, many terms were adapted from the German language. The most popular example of this is: “Zeitgeist“. Even outside the universities, the use of German terms is not a new trend. A particularly poetic example of this is: “Wanderlust“.
"Zeit für Tee" stands for much more than just the desire for tea. It is also about the longing to experience nature on foot and to venture out into the wide world. Between the late 18th century and the early 19th century, many poets discovered their closeness to nature. Famous explorers such as Alexander von Humboldt also aroused the readers' wanderlust with their travel reports. Both aspects together led to a phenomenon that was described as wanderlust in the age of Romanticism. However, only a few could afford to travel to exotic countries. That is why the local forests and mountains were the target of extended hikes. The term became so popular that it was used in the English language as early as in 1902. Also in Italy, Denmark and Ireland the term ”Wanderlust“ has been adopted in the common language use as a synonym for the desire to travel.
Those who travel the world as ”backpackers“ only have a backpack with them. This original form of traveling is becoming increasingly popular not only with younger people. Far away from package tourism, one has much better opportunities to experience the everyday life and the hospitality of foreign cultures. Especially in Asia this often starts with a cup of tea. For as an old Chinese proverb says, ”A day without tea is a day without joy“.
