[edit] Cleanup

I tagged this article for cleanup. The grammar could use some cleaning up, and some terms need to be translated from German. Some others (like, for instance, "the L 3484" and "the B 417") require more context to make them obvious to non-Germans.

In particular, the paragraphs about the town choirs seem really interesting, but require copyediting. -Wayne Miller 01:20, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] History

Do we need that picture? Except being supposedly on a garden hut in the village it has nothing to do with the article! - Andiloew 14:55, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

As the article needs to become more encyclopedic: Removed! --Feetonthedesk 12:29, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Choirs

On the discussion page of the German version there was a note saying that some of it does not belong here, because the rivalling choirs try to advertise themselves on here. Although being famous and having won several prices, a lot of the text about them has been removed again for its advertising nature. - Andiloew 14:55, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

I get the impression you are confusing "there" (German version) and "here" (English version). When I edited the English article, I was careful to ommit anything that could be considered advertising. Still, I am aware that nobody's perfect and request that you identify the paragraphs or statements in the English version you consider to have an advertising nature.

[edit] Etymology

Hi Marco polo, Thanks for cleaning up. I don't think though that the forest is a linden forest. The forest was there first and then came the reference to the linden tree(s). There are hundreds of pubs in Germany called "Zur Linde" which means they have a linden tree out front or in their garden. One of the names during etymoligical development was "Hulzhusen zo der lynden" which most probably doesn't refer to a linden forest, but to a settlement which has a linden tree in a central location (i.e. on the green; see also Tilia#Germanic mythology) and which is located at the edge of or in a clearing in the forest. Do you have a particular reason for thinking it means linden forest? Greetings. --Feetonthedesk 15:36, 24 July 2007 (UTC)


Having read parts of the chronicle and having lived there for 25 years, I cannot remember hearing or knowing anything about a (mainly) linden tree forest. I assume it has to do with a linden tree in the centre of the village or something the like. Several villages in the area have a pub "Zur Linde", some villages even have a linden tree in a centred place. Andiloew 21:15, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Infobox Town

@ User Arne- A wrong infobox is more informative than no infobox. Do improve the quality of the article by replacing the wrong infobox with the correct infobox. Do open a discussion item and make a suggestion on how to improve the article. Please don't delete correct content because it is depicted in an incorrect template. Thanks. --Feetonthedesk 11:49, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
