Why exactly is it POV to say that the city, when founded, was called Marienburg? john 03:48 26 May 2003 (UTC)

It wasn't POV to say that, but the other stuff was, so I just neutralized it. The German name is there, and the links will certainly say something about it as well. It could even be made clear that it was founded around the TK fortress called Marienburg -- but shouldn't really continue on as if that's the name used today. JHK

I see nothing wrong using Malbork as the primary description for the city. However, the Teutonic Order did not build the castle Malbork- they built the castle Marienburg, and that should be the first name listed for the castle. Some posters continue to change this. Olessi 22:23, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

The city of Malbork was built around the fortress of 'Malbork' (Marienburg in German)"--Witkacy 22:30, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
How about, "The city of Malbork was built around the fortress 'Malbork' (originally Marienburg in German)"? Olessi 22:50, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
Fine with me. Halibutt

On adding the panorama of the castle, I figured there wasn't enough text to support the older drawing, so I'm moving it here for later use. -- Solipsist 14:09, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Ordensburg Marienburg

As the new article Ordensburg Marienburg covers the castle and its history, this article here should focus on the present day city (and maybe the history of the city, if different from the castle). --Matthead 09:23, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
