Favorite thing: The card game Skat was developed around 1811 by residents of Altenburg. It is a three-handed, thirty-two card game.
The new game spread to the University in nearby Leipzig and from there was carried all over Germany. By 1876 immigrants had brought it to the United States.
Here you can read the rules - ready to beat me - the Lord of Skat ;-)
