Gothic 1 Regular

This TrueType Gothic font was created by Boudewijn Rempt after the alphabet devised by the Visigothic Bishop Wulfila (Lat. Ulfilas), 311-383 AD, for his translation of the Bible into Gothic, the so-called Codex Argenteus, written in this alphabet with silver and gold letters on purple parchment. This is the earliest translation of the Bible into a Germanic language and invaluable for the history of the Germanic languages. For more on the alphabet see James W. Marchand, the Sounds and Phonemes of Wulfila's Gothic (1973). [Thanks to Helmut Plant for this description.]

Kroebern

Old German font from a village of the same name in the Mecklenburg-Schwerin area. Used for record keeping in the seventeen and eighteen hundreds. Fully equipped German character set, but very idiosyncratic (it's someone's handwriting). Available as a PostScript and bitmapped font.

Luftwaffe

This type of Fraktur [the word is derived from the angular, "fractured" lines of the glyphs] is known as "fette" (i.e "bold" style) Fraktur. A Version of this letter-type was used in German books and periodicals until about 1940. The Amish in the US use it still today in their German printed works.
