Talk:Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich

message: Hi, I happend to go to this university, and I whonder if the name's translated right. In Germany, it reads "Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität", the "s" being a typical suffix for bavarian institutions etc. named after a person as in Karlsplatz (Stachus) or Odeonsplatz.
Is it official communication of LMU or another vaild source that Ludwig Maximilian is written without that "s"?
Thank you, Schwoagl (talk) 09:17, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The name is correctly translated into English. We do not use 's in such circumstances. Itsmejudith (talk) 14:44, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I am not sure I understand "we do not use 's" correctly. The name of the university is with "Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München" including hyphens and the s in Maximilians. For example on their web page they have this question as a FAQ [] how to translate the name and also the Shanghai ranking gets it right: []. It seems to me you could analogously argue it should be John Hopkins instead of Johns Hopkins University as John is the name and not Johns. Atdotde (talk) 14:44, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich →  – This is a proper name and should be used also in English language texts according to the university web page  []. In particular, the 's' in Maximilians is not a feature of contemporary German grammar which would go away in translation. The similar case of the University of Würzburg has the s in Maximilians but not the dashes. This move would revert a move from the past. --Relisted.

replies: text: @, Julius Maximilian University of Würzburg chooses to drop the 's' from Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg when it translates its name into English, the 's' is not part of the name it is part of the rules of grammar regarding possession. This debate is made up of two parts: first the issue of language, which is determined by WP:EN; and second, the issue of grammar, which I have just demonstrated should follow English grammar rules, and which is also the standard form of grammar used by German universities when writing in English. In both parts of this debate your proposed move fails to stand up to scrutiny. To get a change of name evidence needs to be provided. Ebonelm (talk) 15:59, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

I agree, that historically of course the "s" indicated possession. But even in current German you would not use an "s" in that place as for example can be seen in the names of other German universities with person names in the university names such as University_of_Erlangen-Nuremberg, University_of_Göttingen, or Martin_Luther_University_of_Halle-Wittenberg. This demonstrates that the "s" is not required by grammar and is thus (at least in today's language) part of a given name. It is impossible to "translate" this from German as it is not proper (current) German. But I give up. Atdotde (talk) 09:31, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

message: This individual might be mentioned in a German edition of Wikipedia but not in the world-wide English one. If one takes a look at other online-encyclopedias about world-wide celebrities, he mostly and rightly is not mentioned. So, why here? The German language is the frontier of the knowledge of his name. By the way, I lived for some years, in Germany. He is a type of a German guy  that only can be successful among the Germans... In the U.K.or  U.S.A., he is and only could be as famous as Mr. or Mrs. Hastings... It really is a joke to mention him, here!
