message: The city has a proud heritage of automotive construction, so why deny this additional comment linking back to the Karmann company?
if you want to use the text, here it is.
Osnabrück is the home of the company  Wilhelm Karmann GmbH (commonly known simply as "Karmann"), which is the largest independent motor vehicle company in Germany. The company is famed for design, production and assembly of components for various automobile manufacturers including Chrysler, Porsche, Volkswagen and DuraCar. Notably, Karmann have produced comvertable and coupe variants of production cars, mostly notably the Volkswagen Beetle and currently (as of 2009) the Audi A4.
if not, it's your loss guys!!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.171.153.68 (talk) 12:22, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

message: I cleaned up the section about famous people and joined it with the section about notable (former) residents. In particular, I deleted King George I, since he was clearly born in Hanover and not in Osnabrueck. I also removed the name of a singer (red link) and of a World War II fighter pilot. However, I don't know really know what the Wikipedia criteria for famous people are, so if these two people are notable, just put them back in.137.43.123.239 (talk) 19:50, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

message: Translating the name results in "Oxbridge"... just like "Oxford", but with a bridge built next to the ford. I'd like to see a cite on "Osnaburg", that is. 80.171.41.168 (talk) 00:35, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure if it's enough to justify inclusion, but according to the OED entry the spelling Osnaburg – plus more than two dozen other variations on this – was indeed in usage, appearing from as early as the mid 1400s onwards. However as it refers to the fabric associated with the town, my brief search didn't reveal any citations referring to the town itself. In any case, it seems likely both would have been referred to in the same way until people began to travel around more, and presumably most speakers of English wouldn't have had a great likelihood (let alone need) of stumbling across an etymologically correct version until very recent times.
