Years ago when my wife and I were in Germany for an Esperanto convention, she started having complications related to pregnancy and checked into a "Frauenklinik". She found some sacks for disposing of hygiene products, unrelated to the convention, with instructions in Esperanto.

This is very unique, as Esperanto is not really something you see often in Germany.

Die viele Kommentaeren tun mir leid, aber ich habe gerade kontroliert. Man kan sie noch kaufen!
Esperanto ist da unten.

As for not seeing a lot of Esperanto in Germany, Esperanto isn't something you see much of anywhere -- but for my part I feel like I've seen as much Esperanto in Germany as anywhere else - plus Germany is the home of Esperantostadt Herzberg am Harz.

I don't know the whole story, but of course we snagged one of the bags and brought it home. This was 25 years ago, but I found several pictures of the same one online even then. All I can figure is that someone printed up A LOT of these and then had to sell them. I imagine it was an Esperanto fan.

Except in Herzberg am Harz

That must have been time when our language was treated more seriously. On the other hand, today I joined a team making an Esperanto version of the Bluesky interface :)
