Talk:Leipzig Hauptbahnhof

message: Just so these don't get overlooked:
* Official info: DB's information system doesn't recognise "Leipzig Central" as a location. Leipzig Hauptbahnhof is an option if I enter "Leipzig", but not if I add Central. If I enter "Leipzig Central station" it opens its guesses with "Leipzig, Centraltheater (Kultur und Unterhaltung)". Hbf is not suggested. 
* English-language version of DB's official station profile: Station profile > Leipzig Hbf ("Leipzig Main Station" appears in some of the text).
* Travel books: Lonely Planet, Rough Guides and Frommers use Leipzig Hauptbahnhof.
::TripAdvisor Leipzig "Hauptbahnhof Leipzig"
* Language: Germany For Dummies, Donald Olson, 2009: "The Leipzig Hauptbahnhof (main train station), Willy-Brandt-Platz, is the largest on the Continent."
* Official UK publication: Maintaining and Improving Britain's Railway Stations, by Britain's (English-speaking) National Audit Office uses Hauptbahnhof: "... we visited the following stations in Germany: Bischofswerda; Dresden Hauptbahnhof; ... Leipzig Hauptbahnhof;..." 
* Media: Railway Gazette has "a cross-city tunnel between Leipzig's Hauptbahnhof and Bayerischer Bahnhof".
:: New York Times ""the enormous shopping arcade in the main train station, the Hauptbahnhof",
* Translated German book (which I read a while back): After The Wall: Confessions from an East German Childhood and the Life that Came Next By Jana Hense: "...I took the tram from Leipzig Hauptbahnhof to the edge of the city..." (p28). This is the English version of a German book, so at least one professional translator clearly thinks readers will understand what it means without needing to come up with an "equivalent" term.
* Books: Brandscaping: Worlds of Experience in Retail Design "Leipzig's Hauptbahnhof (main railway station). ... The Leipzig Hauptbhanhof 'Promenaden'. a trend-setting retail and commercial centre..." Note that they put Promenaden in quotes, but are happy with the name of the station being Hauptbahnhof.
* More books: Roaming Ghostland: The Final Days of East Germany: "And as usual, rain and biting cold greeted my arrival in Leipzig's Hauptbahnhof." and Art In The Making: Aesthetics, Historicity And Practice" think people can cope with a German station having a non-English name.

thread_title: Record of previous attempts to move "Foo Central Station" to "Foo Hauptbahnhof" 

message: * Comprehensively rejected after discussion Zürich Hauptbahnhof, Praha hlavní nádraží, Koblenz Stadtmitte station
* Nürnberg Hauptbahnhof: More people opposed renaming to Central than supported it, but it was changed anyway. The waters appear to have been muddied by someone making the strange claim that the German name is Hauptbahnhof Nürnberg.
:*I notice that the RM for  Berlin Central Station isn't on this list. I assume that's just an oversight. Kauffner (talk) 15:04, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: *And Koblenz Stadtmitte is a bit of a red herring. It's not a Hauptbahnhof and I don't see much use of its literal English translation in the sources, so it has little bearing on this discussion. --Bermicourt (talk) 21:39, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
