This meaning has a pleasant aura of common life, relaxation, celebration, intimacy. If you like, please listen to "Uf dem anger", a medieval poem with music by Carl Orff (Carmina Burana) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8FR5tft6G0 , evoking the villagers on the "Anger", celebrating the beginning of springtime, the awakening of nature after a long winter (Anne Black in the Rockies, listen!). As I already wrote on the German meteorite forum, I knew Christian only by email-exchange. I sent him the last mail on dec. 10th, only four days before he died. He was so patient, open-minded and friendly, this sudden death is really hard to believe. So let's stay together.

A much more peaceful, pleasant, and appropriate meaning. Maybe someone from across the Atlantic can come up with a better tranlation. Anne M.

You are right. That "translation" is MUCH more appropriate and fitting for the happy nature of Christian.
