Longest German Word

Donaudampfschiffahrtselektrizitätenhauptbetriebswerkbauunterbeamtengesellschaft -

(one word, no hyphen)
(die, 79 letters, 80 with new German spelling [one more 'f' in ...dampfschifffahrts...])

"association of subordinate officials of the head office management of the Danube steamboat electrical services" (the name of a pre-war club in Vienna) - Not really useful.

(I recorded myself saying it but it won't let me upload it...)
