I am aware of exactly two contexts of this word: 1) the German original of "Peat bog soldiers" uses it with the normal meaning "bird song". 2) Several place names, including castles, https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vogelsang, Thanks Rolf |

The word "Vogelsang" is in this verse: "Sie entsteigt der Morgenkühle, Trägt das helle Licht empor, Hüllt das Land in Nebelschwüle, Vogelsang dringt an mein Ohr." I have everything else translated except for that word "Vogelsang". Cheers |

I really like the song. It is a shortened version of the grammatically correct word "Vogelgesang". The extra "ge" probably didn't fit the music or just didn't sound appropriate so the composer took poetic liberty in adjusting the word. Other times they add stuff. The German language is similar to Lego. You piece together words to create a new one. Vogel means bird and Gesang is the act of singing (not the word for "song" which would be "Lied"). -- Regards, Joerg (used to be a German) http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |

Thanks In Switzerland it's a very common place name, and also can be a family name.If you look at the Swiss topographical map at https://map.geo.admin.ch/?lang=en and enter "Vogelsang" as a search term you will get more than 30 locations with this name. Note that birdsong is "Vogelgesang", not "Vogelsang". Ned |
