The Funny Papers

Today was all about house-hunting. I learned a specialized German vocabulary around rooms and renting including:
DLH - Durchlauferhitzer (instantaneous water heater)
EBK - Einbauküche (built-in kitchen)
EG - Etagen über Gründ (how many stories above ground)
K/HM - kalt/heise Miete (un-/heated rent)
Kt - Kaution (security deposit)
möbl. - möbliert (furnished)
Nk - Nachbarkosten (other costs)
WaR - Waschraum (laundry room)
ZKB - Zimmer mit Kuche und Bad (bedroom with kitchen and bath)

Some especially interesting ones:

Hannweiler, Bunker ca. 150m2, zentr. Lage, Stromanschl., viels. verwendbar, zu verm.

Bunker <sic> in Hannweil, ~150m2, centrally-located, electric service, many uses (... if I could only think of one)

Saarbr. Steinstr., helle DG-Whg., 1ZKB, ca.39m2, frei ab sofort
Clean loft apartment in Stein Street, 1-bedroom with kitchen and bath, ~39 sq m, free immediately (I have a 10AM appointment :-)

See if you can manage this one before someone else rents it:

SB-Uninähe 1-ZiKoNiDu, WaR, S-Lage, AR, Terrasse, Garten, teil-möbl., sep. eing., ET-Hzg., PKW Stellpl., 2 KM Kt

(and if you figure it out - tell me!)

I also spent some more time on the campus of the Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft (University of Applied Science and Economics), when Dr. Weber took me for a tour of the bionics lab, Bibliothek (library) and Mensa (cafeteria - note to self, pack a lunch). And I got my bike brakes fixed so I can stop as well as go now.
