What Are the Favorite Topics of a Retired Electronic Engineer from Bremen?

[LvW]

My name is Lutz and I am from Bremen/Germany.
I am not a physicist but an electronic engineer - mostly interested in analog electronics.
I have worked for 10 years in electronic industries and for more than 20 years as a lecturer at a university.
Now I am retired and, therefore, I have enough time to concentrate on my favorite subject "Analog Signal Processing" - in particular, active filters and harmonic oscillators.
I am looking forward having nice discussions with some of you.

Hi LvW. Welcome aboard, Lutz.

Bremen? You're not a town musician, by any chance? ;)

Only a dozen or so will read this thread, many more will see your forthcoming posts in other forums. :)

No - I am not. So it seems you have heard already about these four nice animals? Or have you visited Bremen already?
Do you know that the whole story originates from a fairy-tale?

From a fairy-tale, yes.

I almost asked do you have any rats (getting my fairy stories confused), but a precautionary check with google revealed that back in time Bremen really did get rid of its rats in an attempt to limit the spread of the plague. Amazing! :)

I suppose, you are referring to a city called "Hameln" (the "Pied piper from Hameln")?

Actually, a real Bremen event. See foot of page. http://www.jstor.org/stable/41455350?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents

Thank you for the link - never seen such a written document.
And - I have no personal memories because I was too young in 1899;)
