In Germany, this <em>F<\/em><em>eiern\u00a0<\/em>(partying)\u00a0can take very special, interesting forms. A very well-known form is\u00a0<em>Ballermann,\u00a0<\/em>a word combination of the words\u00a0<em>ballern<\/em>, which is only used colloquially for drinking excessive amounts of alcohol, and the word\u00a0<em>Mann<\/em>, which just means man. Probably this combination was chosen because\u00a0<em>ballern\u00a0<\/em>can rather be ascribed to men. This is not a very widespread practice, however. The more widespread use of the word concerns the music that is associated with this &#8220;party style&#8221;. It is a combination of Eurodance, some electronic techno-style music and the German <i>Schlager.<\/i> The texts are &#8211; and even for German pop singers this is not always the case &#8211; in German. They often concern themes like partying, love, or just something entirely made up without any logic or theme as background. A nice example is the <em>Fliegerlied<\/em> (Kite Song)\u00a0<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Fliegerlied mit Songtext (lyrics)\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WS8YQK6x9BM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Some well-known artists are Tim Toupet, as in the song above, Markus Becker, J\u00fcrgen Drews, Mickie Krause and Helene Fischer.<\/p>\n<p>In the summer,\u00a0<em>Ballermann<\/em>, both the party style and the music, can be found a lot on party islands like Mallorca, also called <em>Malle\u00a0<\/em>in Germany,\u00a0in the Mediterranean Sea. So in this summer, that island will be full of Germans again that want to enjoy the summer, sun and beach. A very well-known place that establishes the mood every year here, but definitely is not the only one in the scene, is the bar\u00a0<em>Ballermann<\/em>\u00a0<em>6\u00a0<\/em>in the capital city of the island, Palma.<\/p>\n<p>Other than in the summer\u00a0<em>Ballermann\u00a0<\/em>is present in the winter at\u00a0<em>Apr\u00e8s-Ski\u00a0<\/em>events, or during the\u00a0<em>K\u00f6lscher\u00a0<\/em><i>Karneval\u00a0<\/i>in Cologne. <em>Ballermann<\/em> is a registered trademark\u00a0&#8211; and thus every party, club, CD or other event that carries the name needs to apply for it to be allowed to call it\u00a0<em>Ballermann<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Have you heard of this before?
