The German word "Brandmauer" means "firewall".

Unless you're a right wing conservative talking about a "Brandmauer gegen rechts" (firewall against the far right).

Then it just means a low and tatty fence with holes as big as you need them to push through your reactionary agenda.

Enjoy our language!

Comment, clarification:
#CDU #CSU Friedrich #Merz #Firewall (#Brandmauer) against Right was and is only a very holey crochet.

@jensclasen brandmauer (firewall) gegen rechts:

iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT

@jensclasen it also means it's burning on both sides of that fence
@jensclasen I bet the holes in the fence are even full of molotov cocktails.
