Recently I noticed in a book published in 1926 that what we now call Rotes Rathaus was just called "Rotes Haus". Can anybody clarify the date when this name change occured??? IsarSteve 09:34, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
This article is called Rotes Rathaus but the text calls it Das Rote Rathaus - which is it? Adam 01:32, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
- "Rotes Rathaus" is the "official" form in german. When you say "The Red Town Hall" it is in german "Das Rote Rathaus", only "Red Town Hall" means "Rotes Rathaus". You can also say "i go to the red town hall" which means in german "ich gehe zum Roten Rathaus". It has to do with the grammar but don't ask me which exact rule this is ;-) --BLueFiSH ✉ 09:54, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
Per WP:UE this should be under English name, unless the German name is widely used in English publications. Rotes Rathaus - 65 books but only 21 are in English. Red Town Hall gives us 51 obviously English publications. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk 01:47, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
