I based this on a Google translation of [1] so it could do with checking by a better German speaker than me.

Both Google and I were baffled by:

• Kaiser Wilhelm Institute of Faserstoffchemie
• Kaiser Wilhelm Institute, Silikatforschung
• Kaiser Wilhelm Institute, Stroemungsforschung

The first of these is probably KWE of Fibre Chemistry. Cutler 16:21, Jul 1, 2004 (UTC)

The archive of the Max Planck Society provides a list of english names for the former KWIs. According to this it should be

• KWI Faserstoffchemie = Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Fiber-Chemistry
• KWI Silikatforschung = Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Silicate Research
• KWI Strömungsforschung = Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Flow Research

So, the given translations seem to be fine, but the extension "(Fluid Dynamics)" could be deleted from the name of the KWI Flow research --Ioverka 22:26, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
