You’re exactly right! I don’t think Franco ever formally was a Falange. Franco adopted Fascist trappings, although very few scholars consider him to be a “core fascist”. Politically he was a Francoist if he was anything at all.
Weimar problems make Weimar solutions.
Sorry to be late, but „Glöckl“ is „little bell“ in the Franconian dialect, which is spoken in and around Nuremberg.
Live well, and God bless.
Well thank you for clarifying that. Could you perhaps give us a decent interpretation of the entire name "nürnberger bratwurst glöckl"?
Is "bell" used in the context of "dinner bell" or is it meant to signify something else?
As far as I know, the founder of the Munich restaurant in 1893, Simon Bäumler by name, was from Nuremberg, where a very famous restaurant had a very similar name (Bratwurstglöcklein, which has the same meaning, but is Standard German, not Franconian dialect).
He was inspired by the name of the older restaurant in Nuremburg, it is said. Furthermore, his Munich restaurant was - and is - adjacent directly to the Cathedral of Our Lady, the Frauenkirche.
This has a little bell dangling from a ledge just next to the restaurant.. From time to time, it rings and can be heard clearly within the restaurant. So that was obviously the origin of the name :-)
BTW, the restaurant still exists, serving hearty German fare. It is both popular with the locals and with tourists. Whether it still is a gay meeting place, I cannot say, however, but probably not. They serve everybody who is hungry, though :-)
Thank you for that background information. That helps my understanding of what would have otherwise been a very curious and puzzling name.

I would expect that people would not talk about it's past history. I am told Germany has some very strict anti-Nazi laws and no freedom of speech as exists here in the US.
On your last paragraph: yes, and yes again.
All the best for you, as I‘m finally getting off this site for good. See my profile page (as long as it will still be there) for more :-)
I wish you what happiness you may still find. I shall not be a great deal longer behind you.
Dear sir, I would like to thank you very much for your utterly friendly and so heart-warming words :-)
They are very much appreciated, and I wish you a lot of blessings :-)
And may America, and may the world, ultimately be delivered from the utter Evil, the machinations of the Old Fiend which has afflicted her.
We beseech thee with all our hearts, O Lord!
