Talk:Central Germany (cultural area)

message: After finishing this discussion edit, I will change the article, because “Das Erste” is a TV channel by ARD  which is meant here. Toscho 15:58, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Das Erste -> ARD 

message: IIRC Theodor Fontane did use the word "Mitteldeutschland" in his "Wanderungen durch die Mark Brandenburg", in the chapter about Buckow and surroundings ("Maerkische Schweiz"). He said that the area of course does not compare to Switzerland at all, but that it does compare to Mitteldeutschland. So IMO Mitteldeutschland is neither a Kampfbegriff nor does it by default include Brandenburg, Mecklenburg or the western part of Pommern. Yaan (talk) 13:15, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Fontane 

message: The title of this article is wrong. And that despite the article having all the data. The area nowadays often called "Mitteldeutschland" in German is not in the middle of Germany. Therefore it is already misleading to call it Middle Germany. But "Central Germany" is really wrong: "Zentraldeutschland" is an area between "Norddeutschland" and "Süddeutschland". It roughly coincides with the region where Central German is spoken. -- Tomdo08 (talk) 00:50, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I moved the page from Central Germany to Mitteldeutschland (Halle-Leipzig). It may again be moved to an English translation. -- Tomdo08 (talk) 01:42, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Mitteldeutschland" is not Central Germany 

message: I directed Middle Germany to Mitteldeutschland (Halle-Leipzig). This is still not satisfying: "Mitteldeutschland (Halle-Leipzig)" is only one meaning of "Mitteldeutschland". -- Tomdo08 (talk) 01:54, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Middle Germany" is not Mitteldeutschland (Halle-Leipzig) 

message: Simply translating words in names has problems. The translation from "Mitteldeutschland" to "Central Germany" already nuked the concepts. "Middle Germany" sounds better, but might still be wrong: Its new meaning is not in the middle. There already was a lot of confusion in Germany, it will not become better by translation. I am also not sure where all this translations here in Wikipedia come from: They should have at least a little bit of preceding exterior standing. -- Tomdo08 (talk) 02:59, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Translation trapdoors 

message: In among all the unsupported claims, I would add: German is not English.
Tomdo said: ‘"Central Germany" is really wrong: "Zentraldeutschland" is an area between....’, just presuming that the two languages are the same, word for word. Actually, when a professional translator has to translate Mitteldeutschland, they'll usually pick Central Germany: the Evangelical Church in Central Germany (see here), Central German Metropolitan Region (link), and ERIH (here). "Middle Germany" is okay, but it sounds foreign to me and doesn't solve the problem of geographic inaccuracy (like if they had called it Central-Eastern Germany).
Anyway, back to the editing. I'd like to research the Central German football championship more, to find out exactly which areas it covered - does anyone know any good sites for it? - Cheers, Responsible? (talk) 03:21, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
