Talk:Sütterlin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
What's the source for this statement? I find it somewhat hard to believe, and in any case it would be interesting to know where that happened. I assume it'd be West Germany or Switzerland? Prumpf 00:05, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- A little late in responding here :), but I was taught Sütterlin in a German Volksschule (elementary school) around the mid-sixties, albeit that's original research, I guess... Asav (talk) 15:45, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
- When my parents were in elementary school in the early 1970s, they also learned Sütterlin and Fraktur. However, back then, these were already considered deprecated. They were only taught because there were plenty of older documents, books, etc. around that were written in those old scripts. When I was at school, we weren't taught Sütterlin or Fraktur; However, I can read Fraktur anyway (unusual for someone of my Generation) but I cannot read Sütterlin. One thing that really surprised me was that the math textbook we used in 13th grade used Sütterlin letters for vectors. However, that notation was regarded as deprecated, i.e. when we did our homework we had to convert exercises to the notation that is used today - normal small latin letters with arrows above. And we didn't have to know Sütterlin for exams. -- 79.238.174.228 (talk) 19:57, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

- After World War II Sütterlin was again used in some schools until the 1970s.
Some images to illustrate the differences in letterforms would be really nice. 24.215.177.116 01:43, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
For me IE doesn't render the unicode for the ligatures in the below correctly - even though it does really well with the unicode examples on the unicode page. Is this my problem or a bug in the page? If its my problem can someone suggest a fix?
several standard ligatures such as ff (f-f), ſt (ſ-t), st (s-t), and of course ß (s-z). ucgajhe 12:10, Jun 23 (UTC)
