Talk:Lauterbrunnen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Translation questionable

I would question the derivation: lauter meaning clear or bright. I am familiar with 'Lauter' being used in just two senses: 1) louder, and 2) as in 'Lauterkeit', meaning honest. --Philopedia 13:59, 27 November 2005 (UTC)


++re: Translation Questionable ++

The writer is not correct. While "lauter" means louder in High German, In Swiss German this would be " luter ". In my opinion Lauterbrunnen means Clean Well; Brunnen meaning Well or Fountain. ( compare with "Lauterbach" < clean creek )

[edit] Jungfrau?

Is there any reason why the Jungfrau is not mentioned on this page?
