I suggest a Category like the Halls of Fame for the articles about the "inmates" of the Walhalla. Any ideas? --Matthead 00:19, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

I've started a category. Please add "[[Category:Walhalla enshrinee]]" to the biographies you happen to edit. --Matthead 02:10, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Aside from the barbarism of enshrinee, the list appended to this article is perfectly sufficient without cluttering Wikipedia with another "category", which adds no information. --Wetman 06:09, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes, is "enshrinee" an English word?

[edit] Quotes

I think some quotes of Ludwig I. should be mentioned in the article, f. e. this one: "Möchte Walhalla förderlich sein der Erstarkung und der Vermehrung deutschen Sinnes! Möchten alle Deutschen, welchen Stammes sie auch seien, immer fühlen, dass sie gemeinsames Vaterland haben. Und jeder trage bei, soviel er vermag, zu dessen Verherrlichung!" This shows Ludwig's patriotic way of thinking.

[edit] The Brahms mystery

how come Brahms hasn't been commemorated with a bust, only with a plaque?

there are plenty of his portraits lying around in archives to carve a bust from.

Yes, I had noticed that too, and had changed the text without further inquiry, guessing they had no money or time. Turns out it was simply an error, Brahms was introduced in 2000 with a bust, of course. --Matthead 21:23, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

What about post-Norman conquest English?

[edit] Additions during Third Reich

The article is silent on whether any additions made during the 12 years of Nazi rule were removed after 1945. I can't imagine Hitler or his cronies being left out of such a prestigious gallery. --Iacobus 23:50, 18 January 2007 (UTC)--

Only people who have been dead at least 20 years can get a bust in the Walhalla. Hitler died in 1945, so.... --89.60.227.119 18:28, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Only the bust of Anton Bruckner was added during the Nazi rule. 81.217.10.220 08:02, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
