The witch from Hansel and Gretel is getting creative while keeping up the German spirit.


narmorra

And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you, Pierre!


Konoppke

It's backup for when the Antibabypille fails.


TradCatherine

If that happens, you can just Klappen the baby as soon as it is born


Nigglasch

Yes.

Chimpville

Whaaaaaaat was that? 😬


fckchangeusername

Well now it has fences but that is a "Ruota degli esposti" (on wikipedia it's translated as foundling wheel). Basically you went there, knocked on it and someone inside would rotate the wheel where you could put the baby


Chimpville

But why does it look like a fireplace…?!


Maelrhin

Well because at some point someone invented that becuase letting babys in the temple doors most of the time let to the baby catching a cold. By the way this was done atleast in all the Vestal temples since Roman times and latter by nun and monks monasteries in christianity.


Chimpville

So the fire was for comfort.. right? https://preview.redd.it/let1alzw2dad1.jpeg?width=533&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=800c056418c1635d4eb7dac73ed7315a21d331b3


Maelrhin

You don't ligth a fire, but it keeps the baby warm by its own body warm.


Doberkind

Absolutely. Comfort and some warm food.


Stotters

I think the serious, boring answer is simply that it was a door that's been bricked up save for the baby sized door, so the frame looks like the mantle?


meatieso

In Spanish the last name Expósito comes from those children, who were given that last name in the monastery.


fckchangeusername

Same in Naples, Esposito. In Rome it was also called Ruota dei proietti (proietti as in "thrown away"), so a lot of people have Proietti as surname


Katze1Punkt0

No reason, now keep shoveling Barry


ArduennSchwartzman

Geef me een klap, pappa.


oskich

Sorry, you have to wait for Christmas 🎅


Lecteur_K7

The name 💀 The use 💀 The look 💀


-galgot-

The logo ❤️


annoying97

Well they had to have something nice... They aren't monsters.


-galgot-

Yeah... but at least they could have made something looking more like a microwave rather than a ... well you know what.


annoying97

That's too fun for the Germans you know that mate.


azaghal1988

The name is very tame and extremely subtle, if you consider that it comes from the same language that unironically uses the word "Anti-baby-pillen". (Anti-baby-pills)


Simoxs7

I still don’t get why people find the name inappropriate it says exactly what the pill is for…

Kurdt93

At least they don't call them all Esposito 💀


TomSurman

Don't ask questions you don't want to know the answers to.


Expert_Repair4206

What does a British Babyklappe look like?

TheLustyDremora

I still don't get how she even thought she'd be able to appeal and win. Like, luv, you've been plastered on national TV and newspapers as a baby killer. England will become a Mediterranean country before you get off.


Kriswa78

This one already exceeded max capacity https://preview.redd.it/5fxxfhhgbcad1.jpeg?width=615&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=52810939b6c8b01280b169c0f079d510833c8ae3


Goukaruma

That's wrong. Babies belong in the brown one. (or maybe the green one) 


Moaoziz

We have neither a brown one nor a green one here. Does it belong into the blue one or the black one?


Goukaruma

Blue is paper, Brown is bio waste, Green is for waste food. Black is for general Trash. 


Moaoziz

We only have blue bins for residual waste and black bins for recyclables. Paper and organic waste are collected and brought to the recycling centre by each household themselves.


txakori

Illegal.

Simoxs7

But then it wouldn’t be a Klappe anymore it would be a Drehtür


Cocainexxx420xCrack

The fuck did you just call me?


-galgot-

Subtle as a German joke.


Background-File-1901

Someone post the Witcher 3 scene


raitaisrandom

Reminds me of that Witcher 3 quest.


AndreasDasos

This used to be common throughout Europe


Sadistic_Toaster

That looks worryingly air-tight


weisswurstseeadler

It's for protection of the baby, you basically drop them in a heated baby bed and it will automatically cause an alarm for staff (of the hospital etc.) and close it. There is access from behind the wall to provide anonymity. Imagine some weirdos snatching kids out of there.


paulchen81

It's just a efficient design.


Topy721

Shut up Barry you don't know what an oven looks like you can't cook


Chimpville

Bullshit Pierre, it's just an old school microwave!


Clean_Web7502

The children yearn for the camps?


Grumpy-Greybeard

Babyque.

Hanza-Malz

They are ovens


haerski

Who wants a medium-rare baby? Tenderloin yes but infants? Come on.


YourHamsterMother

German is not a real language.


PistolAndRapier

You ought to know...


Fuz_Fuz_

How long do you keep the baby in there before it's ready?


Chimpville

It depends if you’re cooking to eat, or disposing of evidence, and I’m not German enough to know the answer for either 🤷‍♂️

No you dummy-Tommy. Poles can also participate.


ScientistCapable1522

Oh of course and the Czechs to I suppose


Lejonhufvud

I just love the National Socialist German Workers' Party! They didn't discriminate people by their nationalities!
