    Worst of all the original German text on another wall was perfectly legible, somehow they only botched the English one

    They really saw the "Sprich Deutsch du H*rensohn" meme and implemented it into their design.

    "Amtssprache ist Deutsch du Hurensohn", could be a good alternative.

    I think they are actually almonds, especially since almonds are the primary ingredient in marzipan

    And it's behind the text, the contrast is just absolutely horrible, like printing black text on a brown and yellow checker board.

    It gets harder at the top and bottom, so some words were educated guesses.

    Where does marzipan come from?

    It comes from the near East where sugar cane and almond were

    first cultivated and combined to form a soft sweet

    confectionary, Marzipan had a long journey to make to the

    North of Europe. The almond tree mentioned as far back

    as the Old Testament, was brought by the Greeks and Romans

    from Persia to the Mediterranean region.

    The Arabs were the ones who first planted sugar cane in

    Egypt and then also in Spain. Then by conquering the Iberian

    Peninsula (from 100AD) then along with the Christian

    crusaders (from the 11th Century) helped smooth the way for

    marzipan to reach Europe. The word marzipan incidentally

    comes from the Byzantine coin known as the "mautaban", which

    was in circulation around 100AD in Cyprus. This name

    appeared on the boxes of candied fruit and confectionary that

    were transported to Venice. The Neapolitan still call it

    "marzapan" today and our word marzipan is derived directly

    from it. By about the year ?5?0 the confectionary had taken

    all ?????? through Europe.

    Please feel free to make corrections. Not too confident about those last lines
