Learn German with the Augsburg Saga – A2.3 Interlinear German–English Reader The Cold Years Learn German through story and carefully graded A2-level language — with immediate English support when you need it. The Cold Years is the third book of the A2 level in the Augsburg Saga. It is written in clear, controlled A2 German and presented in an interlinear German–English format, sentence by sentence. Hartwig A2.3 Each German sentence is followed directly by its English translation. The English is not word-for-word and not literary prose. It stays close to the German in meaning and structure and serves purely as a reading aid, allowing you to continue reading without constant dictionary use. Augsburg, 1771–1772: cold weather, poor harvests, quiet pressure The story takes place in Augsburg during the early 1770s, when the region experiences unusual climate instability. These years are remembered as "the cold years": long winters, late frosts, heavy rain, and repeated harvest problems. Hartwig A2.3 In the city, the consequences are practical and immediate: market stalls become fewer bread becomes more expensive families watch their supplies carefully damp wood and wet roads shape everyday work Priest Hartwig and his family live near St. Ulrich and Afra and try to help others while managing their own worries. The story stays calm and realistic, focusing on daily decisions under persistent hardship, not on dramatic events. Hartwig A2.3 A key question begins to appear: whether new crops and new methods — including the still unfamiliar potato — might help people survive if the cold returns again.
