Why is German striped? Having the full legend would be nice

[–] bravot10@sh.itjust.works 23 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

My guess is because we use both Bibliothek and Bücherei

[–] rotkehle@feddit.org 6 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

ist Bücherei im Süden verbreitet? hier im Nordosten habe ich das noch nie gehört

[–] gigachad@piefed.social 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Als Wessi ist eine Bücherei für mich ein Geschäft, in dem man Bücher kaufen kann.

[–] Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Dann bist falsch. Das ist ein Buchladen. Bücherei und Bibliothek ist das gleiche

[–] rotkehle@feddit.org 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Buchladen ist für mich auch neu. hier heißt es Buchhandlung. lustig wie regional das doch alles ist.

[–] Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago

Ja Buchhandlung ist mir nicht eingefallen ganz spontan. Ist auch eigentlich das Wort. Laden als Synonym zu Geschäft.

[–] poVoq@slrpnk.net 4 points 2 weeks ago

Ist in nordwestlichen Bundesländern auch üblich.

No, you find it also in the West of Germany. The town's libraries are usually or often named Stadtbücherei, whereas the larger state's and university libraries are named Landesbibliothek or Universitätsbibliothek.

[–] slowmorella@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

but it's not the same thing. At Bücherei you buy books and at Bibliothek you borrow books.

At Bücherei you buy books

No, that would be a Buchhandlung (book shop).

[–] slowmorella@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

They are synonyms, at least in my region

I second Successful_Try543’s assessment. I’ve never heard someone say they bought a book at a Bücherei.

[–] slowmorella@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 weeks ago

As i already wrote: It is like that where i come from. I don't make the rules

[–] atopi@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

In romanian, librarie is used for the ppace that sells books and biblioteca for the place where you borrow them and it doesnt show both on the map

[–] slowmorella@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah there is some room for improvement with this map
