Talk:Braunschweig

message: As an inhabitant of Braunschweig for the last 28 years (I left the city in 2008) I must make some notes:
#Braunschweig does not have many breweries, but just 2: "Hofbrauhaus Wolters" (http://www.hofbrauhaus-wolters.de/) and "Feldschlösschen" (http://www.feldschloesschen.de/)
#The famous "Mumme" is not a beer, but a kind of malt sirup which *can* be mixed with beer (although the taste is quite questionable, but that's just my personal opinion). Also, it does not contain alcohol.
#The most famous beer from Braunschweig is definitely the "Wolters" pilsener which is characterized by it's nordish bitter taste. Feldschlösschen also makes a pilsener but that one it widely acknowledged as tasting quite bad. Also, Feldschlösschen makes a red beer called "Duckstein" but that one is not produced in Braunschweig. In addition to that, Feldschlösschen has its origin in Dresden and therefore would rather count as a Dresden beer than a Braunschweig beer.
#The Wolters brewery had great financial problems two years ago and was about to be closed, but Braunschweig's citizens formed a kind of "Keep Wolters alive" movement and donated a good amount of money, so the brewery is still alive.
#There are in fact more breweries, but those are just small family businesses, combined with taprooms. Their beer is not sold in any shops.

message: :"It was also the Garrison Town of the 31st Infanterie Division, which took part in the invasions of Poland, Belgium, France, and Russia. It was one of the units that was destroyed during the withdrawal from Russia at the end of the war. As a result, it was severely damaged by Anglo-American aerial attacks."
"It" seems to refer to both the town and a military unit. I understand that the town was severely damaaged by bombing, but don't see how that obviously follows from a unit based in the town being destroyed during withdrawal from Russia.  Presumably the unit was destroyed somewhere between Russia and its garrison, no? Mike Linksvayer 21:45, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

message: I deleted the information on Hitler and his citizenship as it is wrong.
The author(s) obviously confused two things: 1) the City of Brunswick (Stadt Braunschweig) and 2) the Free State of Brunswick (Freistaat Braunschweig). Both of them go or rather went by the common name of just “Braunschweig”.
However, it was the FREISTAAT Braunschweig or more precisely it’s Interior Minister Dietrich Klagges, an ardent Nazi and member of the NSDAP, together with several other Nazis and right wing politicians, who provided Hitler with the German citizenship he had craved for for seven years.
As a matter of fact, during 1925 and 1932, Hitler himself as well as his Nazis followers had tried at least seven (7) times, to obtain German nationality for the “Führer” - cf. de:Einbürgerung Adolf Hitlers.

thread_title: Survey

message: I'm not from Braunschweig but from Germany and I think there is a lack of information about the economy of Braunschweig: The city is located in an area that is important for Volkswagen AG: In 1938 the first Volkswagen plant has been foundet in Braunschweig. Todays Volkswagen Headquarters are in Wolfsburg (about 36km by car from Braunschweig), the Volkswagen Commercial Vehicle Division is in Hannover (about 77km by car), there is a plant for Volkswagen-Parts in neighboring city of Salzgitter (only 13km south of Braunschweig) and also a volkswagen-plant for component-parts IN BRAUNSCHWEIG - more Information:  http://www.volkswagen-braunschweig.de/ (also in english)
Further Volkswagen Financial Services AG and Volkswagen Bank GmbH have their headquarters in the city of Braunschweig. From their website:
"Volkswagen Financial Services AG is a 100%-owned subsidiary of Volkswagen AG and has its headquarters in Braunschweig, Germany. We are responsible for coordinating the worldwide financial services activities of the Volkswagen Group. In Europe, Asia-Pacific and South America we manage the financial services operations directly via subsidiaries."
Further there is an Siemens plant from Siemens Transportation Systems which develops and produces Signal Technology for the railroad. It developed important technology for Shanghai Transrapid.
Further I'm wondering why there is a so prominent information about German Federal Bureau of Aircraft Accidents Investigation (BFU) (an agency most germans just don't know about) - but no information about the 'Luftfahrtbundesamt' (LBA) -> German Federal Agency of Aviation.
A few years ago they rebuilt their Brunswick Palace (destroyed in and after WW2) with reconstructed facades and a modern and large Shopping-Centre inside - namend the "Schloss-Arkaden" (Palace Arcards)

thread_title:  Economy and more 

message: Article says, “[Henry the Lion] had previously established ties to the British crown in 1168,” but there was no British crown until centuries later, only English, Scottish etc. crowns. This “British crown” notion is in the source (German National Tourist Board), so can this be changed and still claim authority from the GNTB source? (I guess putting “[sic]” in there would look a bit odd, as it’s not given as a quote.) 1A72 talk 05:51, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I've changed it into "English crown". I don't think the reference needs to be changed, though - it's hardly a controversial issue. My guess would be that the mention of the British crown was mentioned because of the Hanoverian succession later on, which made those ties relevant for modern Britain. At least that's the reason why I didn't make the change earlier myself, when I rewrote parts of the history section. Alexpostfacto (talk) 17:16, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
