Bock
Bock () is a strong German beer, usually a dark lager. History The style now known as ''Bock'' was first brewed in the 14th century in the Hanseatic town of Einbeck in Lower Saxony. The style was later adopted in Bavaria by Munich brewers in the 17th century. Due to their Bavarian accent, citizens of Munich pronounced "Einbeck" as "ein Bock" ("a billy goat"), and thus the beer became known as "Bock". A goat often appears on bottle labels. Bock is historically associated with special occasions, often religious festivals such as Christmas, Easter, or Lent ('). Bock has a long history of being brewed and consumed by Bavarian monks as a source of nutrition during times of fasting.

Bock (bagpipe)
Variants of the bock, a type of bagpipe, were played in Central Europe in what are the modern states of Austria, Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic. The tradition of playing the instrument endured into the 20th century, primarily in the Blata, Chodsko, and Egerland regions of Bohemia, and among the Sorbs of Saxony. The name "Bock" (German for ''buck'', i.e. male goat) refers to the use of goatskins in constructing the bag, similar to the common use of other goat-terms for bagpipes in other nations, such as the French cabrette, Spanish gaita and Polish koza. History The oldest written mentions of bagpipes in the Lands of the Bohemian Crown comes from Zbraslav Chronicle (lat. Chronicon Aulae regiae, 1335 - 1339).

Bock (island)
Bock is an island in the Baltic Sea southwest of the island of Hiddensee and east of the peninsula of Zingst. It belongs to the municipality of Groß Mohrdorf in the northeast German state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The island of Bock was artificially created by the dumping of sand from the channel to Stralsund (the Gellenstrom) and lies within the core zone of the West Pomeranian Lagoon Area National Park. It is a Naturschutzgebiet, nature reserve and is uninhabited. Its name is derived from the word ''aufgebockt'' ("propped up"). The name arose because many ships ran aground on the former sandbank and thus became "propped up" in a sense. In the west the island is only separated from the Kleine Werder island group by narrow, shallow watercourses. Just off the island to the north is one of the few ''windwatts'' on the German Baltic Sea coast. In favourable wind conditions and the resulting low water levels the mudflat or ''watt'' is exposed.
