WHAT DOES SERPENTINE MEAN IN GERMAN?

winding road

Serpentine

A serpentine is a path that runs along a serpentine road or a road which, in many curves and hairpin bends, rises up a mountain slope in a zig-zag course. In the first place, "the curvature of a river, which is often repeated in the opposite direction, so that it imitates the figure of the letter S," was signified as serpentine. The expression comes from the Latin serpent. Afterwards the roads on mountain slopes were designated as snake lines.

Unter einer Serpentine versteht man einen in Schlangenlinien angelegten Weg oder eine Straße, die sich in vielen Kurven und Haarnadelkurven im Zick-Zack-Kurs einen Berghang hinaufwindet. Zunächst bezeichnete man lediglich „diejenige Krümme eines Flusses, welche von demselben oftmals nach entgegengesetzter Richtung wiederholt wird, so dass sie die Figur des Buchstabens S nachahmt“ als Serpentine. Der Ausdruck kommt von lateinisch serpent. Danach wurden als Schlangenlinien auch die Wege an Berghängen so bezeichnet.
