Class on Sigmund Freud

Class on Sigmund Freud


The teacher came to the class and introduced herself. Then she gave us material with information about Sigmund Freud. We read his biography and his theories. Freud was a Jewish-Austrian neurologist who founded the psychoanalytic school of psychiatry. He was one of the most important thinkers and he elaborated the theory that the mind is a complex energy-system. After reading the biography we read the dream symbolism and how Freud interprets dreams. Then we played a game that was like a puzzle with a number behind each jigsaw piece. The aim was to interpret dreams in groups at the end.

After that class we went to the “Sigmund Freud Museum”. A guide told us everything about his house, his life, his furniture. It was impressive!

The Danube Wetlands

On the bank of the Danube there was a large wooden boat, called Tschaike. We got on the boat and rowed. There were about twelve oars altogether. It was very difficult to row at the same pace, we counted one, two, three and started. Finally the owner of the boat, who had actually built it himself, switched on the engine. This type of boat was originally brought in by the Turkish 500 years ago. They also used the river to take soldiers from one side to the other and when a bridge collapsed or when there was no bridge they put a number of these boats side by side so that people could cross the river.
At this time of the year the water line of the Danube is one meter lower than usual because it is still very cold and the snow in the mountains has not melted yet.
In the Danube wetlands there are lots of beavers. In the past they were a rare species, but now there are many more.
