- After World War II Sütterlin was again used in some schools until the 1970s.
What's the source for this statement? I find it somewhat hard to believe, and in any case it would be interesting to know where that happened. I assume it'd be West Germany or Switzerland? Prumpf 00:05, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Some images to illustrate the differences in letterforms would be really nice. 24.215.177.116 01:43, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
For me IE doesn't render the unicode for the ligatures in the below correctly - even though it does really well with the unicode examples on the unicode page. Is this my problem or a bug in the page? If its my problem can someone suggest a fix?
several standard ligatures such as ff (f-f), ſt (ſ-t), st (s-t), and of course ß (s-z). ucgajhe 12:10, Jun 23 (UTC)
[edit] Nazi Banning?? - Cufftitles
Sütterlin banned by the Nazis? explain the honorary cufftitles issued to the elite Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler, Feldherrnhalle and Großdeutschland divisions? --Ansbachdragoner 00:44, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
- Citings, links and literature can be found in the article de:Antiqua-Fraktur-Streit. I have requested a translation of that article into English, see Wikipedia:German-English translation requests#History. -- j. 'mach' wust | ‽ 13:02, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

- That's great, however how doesent that conflict with the actual survivng cufftitles which were issued to, among others, the Großdeutschland Division, Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler and Feldherrnhalle formations? See the Panzer Corps Feldherrnhalle article for a photograph of a Sütterlin pattern cufftitle used throughout the war. --ansbachdragoner 02:29, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Parseltongue
It is said the House of Slytherin in Harry Potter fantasy novels was named after Suetterlin. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.131.210.162 (talk) 14:33, 7 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Image
I hate to nag but the long image shown in the sample seems to be a poor copy/paste job (Either that or each character was pasted into a font-maker program hastily). I think that the image at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Kant_Suetterlin.png is much more suitable. The letters connect in a cleaner manner and it appears more natural.
