10 words to know before partying in Germany

Dämmerung

It's the moment between day and night, or between night and day - beginning and end all wrapped up in one word. Just before sunset comes twilight - or Dämmerung, like here in Frankfurt. That's when the party is just getting going. And if it's an exciting night, chances aren't bad that it will end during Dämmerung as well: Germans use the same word for dawn.
