Talk:Weimar

message: OK. Not good: Nietzsche's wikipedia page says he is buried in Rocken, not Weimar. Going to delete statements that it is in Weimar (I was just there this summer and don't recall seeing his tomb).
The missing coat of arms makes an unsightly hole at the top of the page... Does anyone have one to fill up the hole ? -- PFHLai 01:54, 2005 August 28 (UTC)
"A visit to Weimar would not be complete without a tour of Goethe's home or gardenhouse, a stroll through the picturesque and expansive Park an der Ilm, a sampling of Thüringian Bratwurst from the local vendors at the Markt Platz, or a taste of any of the many decadent (and cheap) ice cream flavors that line the main scenic street, Schillerstrasse."
Why must articles discussing a city and it's salient history always devolve into travell blrbs? More to the point, this is an article about the city of Weimar, and not about travelling to the city of Weimar. I'd like to remove this entire paragraph - leave a note with your feelings on this.

message: English differentiates between castles, palaces, and mansions. I think "castle" is generally used only for buildings with battlements (typically on a hill, and built for armed defence). --Boson (talk) 13:55, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: If you are referring to the Weimarer Stadtschloss, please note that it used to be a medieval moated castle and that the own website refers to the Stadtschloss as "castle", here --IIIraute (talk) 20:49, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: There may indeed be reasons to call it a castle rather than a palace, but I strongly suspect it is a simple (and quite common) mistranslation. I note that the English text does not say it "used to be a medieval moated castle" but that it was "originally constructed on the site of a moated castle", which the German text calls a "mittelalterliche Wasserburg"--Boson (talk) 00:51, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: "... [die] Anlage ging aus einer mittelalterlichen Wasserburg hervor und wurde ...", but it doesn't matter.Check this out - Πάντα ῥεῖ, --IIIraute (talk) 01:40, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

text: It still looks like a mistranslation to me, though the boundaries are sometimes fluid. Could you explain why you think this particular Schloss is a castle rather than a palace? The change from -burg to Schloss in German would also tend to suggest that the new building was not a castle. --Boson (talk) 13:02, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: You mean like Neuschwanstein Castle (Schloss Neuschwanstein)? And I don't mind whether this particular Stadtschloss is a castle or a palace - since it is both, and some of the castle/Burg structures are still existent and incorporated in the new building - however, this still makes it a "City Palace" or "City Castle" --IIIraute (talk) 17:17, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

replies: text: Could you give the ISBN and page number?  --Boson (talk) 17:35, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

text: It sounds rather odd that the New Oxford American Dictionary should have a long article on Weimar, but the Apple Dictionary app does have Wikipedia articles. Can you quote the sentence following "The city walls were laid down in 1757 and during the following decades, Weimar expanded to all directions." in your Apple version? --Boson (talk) 12:51, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

message: the section "since 1945" ends with description of a library fire and concludes: "A number of books were shock-frozen in Leipzig to save them from rotting. The library was reopened in 2007". theres a WP article on "flash freezing", could it be the preservation method refered to - if so, perhaps the wording could be changed to reflect that (and a link added)?
