Oh, yes the most popular one is 
"Donaudampfschifffahrtsgesellschaftskapitänsmütze".

And we have - since our writing reform some years ago - sometimes three times 
the same letter - for example (see above): Schifffahrt or Balletttaenzer.

Sometimes you can use two articles for the same word: Der Ethos/das Ethos, 
both is possible. Germans themselves have often difficulties with finding the 
right article.

Well, all very easy to learn:-).
