Скачать или смотреть [10] Where did Austria get its name? - WIAW Shorts

When we think of Austria, I think most of us think of the musical the sound of music, lederhosen or pretzels! But it was not always like that! Once upon a time in the middle ages Austria was part of the eastern edge of the holy roman empire.
In German Austria is called Österreich and this came from the middle ages German term meaning “east realm” or “east territory”. At the time Latin was a very common language in Europe and so Austria was a Latinisation of the German word.
Over time Austria would become more important and in 1804 it formed its own independent empire and kept the Latin and German names.
