[edit] Deutscherbund?

I read somewhere that Limburg joint the "Deutscher Bund", the German Union in 1839. How long did that membership last? Shouldnt it be mentioned here?

It is mentioned in the Duchy of Limburg article. -- Picapica 08:48, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Indeed, I have also seen references to Limburg joining the German Confederation. However, I am not familiar with any sources of this. I would assume that Limburg withdrew from the German Confederation when it basically disbanded with the formation of the German Empire under Kaiser Wilhelm through the guidance of Otto von Bismarck. --Benn M. 06:11, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Parts of Limburg have always been part of the German Confederation (like Thorn) and some (like Roermond) have been a part of the confederation till 1870. They remained a prt of the confederation till the formation of the empire. Thorn was the smallest souvereign state in Der Deutscher Bund. Jorgenpfhartogs 23:22, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

Re the cleanup notice: Since we already have articles on the Duchy of Limburg, Limburg (Belgium), Limburg (Netherlands), and the Limburgish language, I doubt we need this one; I would suggest incorporating any information here that is not already included elsewhere to the appropriate articles and then deleting this one. -- Picapica 08:45, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
