Talk:Freiburg im Breisgau

message: "There are several other towns called Freiburg in Germany."
:Which towns do you mean? I just know another Freiburg on the Elbe river, a tiny village, that shouldn't be worth mentioned. If there actually are other towns called Freiburg, we should mention them here with some more data. The above sentence is valid for almost every town, even for Berlin (since there is a village called Berlin in Schleswig-Holstein). -- Cordyph 11:51 Jan 2, 2003 (UTC)
I think that's it. --till we *)
I added that "several other towns".  My map has:
* Freiburg am Neckar
* Freiburg (Elbe)
* Freiburg im Breisgau
* another Freiburg southwest of Dresden
I checked with ZIP codes by Deutsche Post AG and found two Freiburgs (Freiburg im Breisgau with 79xxx, and Freiburg (Elbe) with 21729 as ZIP code) as well as two lots of Freibergs. So it's just two towns in Germany named Freiburg, and Freiberg am Neckar and several other Freibergs. (I changed the article accordingly) --till we *) 18:58 Jan 5, 2003 (UTC)

Freiburg evidently has no history between 1827 and circa 1940 (i.e., literally no narrative in the article for that period). It's important to know how Freiburg fared during the decades leading up to the Third Reich. 
- The population of 630,000 at the beginning of the article seems to be wrong.  At the end of 2012 it was 224,191. See here: http://fritz.freiburg.de/scripts/fritz/fritz-view.exe?aw=Bevoelkerung/Region%20Bevoelkerung%20insgesamt%202010.  I'm not sure where the other number came from so I haven't corrected this myself.  Maybe it includes the area around Freiburg? Kaipix (talk) 10:50, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: It deserves and has a special article (with a not so fine name): Albert Ludwigs University of Freiburg. --Ikar.us 19:57:54, 2005-09-09 (UTC)
What's wrong with the name? But of course the real name would be "Albert-Ludwigs-Universität zu Freiburg im Breisgau"...by the way I tried to complete the historic section of the university. -- Ecclesia 08:16, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

text: The name in English would be Albert Ludwig University. The 's' is wrong here (according to my limited knowledge of English). --Ikar.us 17:30, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Freiburg  During WWII 

message: I was looking up a few things about my last name and found this. What
do the locals mean when they say, "If you step in a Bachle, you will
marry a Freiburger." Is this a good thing or are they making fun of my
ancestors.
:I was a student in Freiburg many years ago. Throughout the central
part of the town there are numerous 'Bächle', or 'little streams'.
These are freshwater channels, generally 1 to 1.5 meter wide and half a
meter deep, running along the edge of the streets, the water coming
down from the Black Forest. They look like gutters, but are not. It is
easy enough to inadvertantly step into one, if you aren't careful,
something that drinking students may be more prone to than others. If
you don't break an ankle, you will certainly have wet feet!
:I never heard of the saying you mention. But the hazard is one
particular to this town and it is easy to imagine how it might have
originated. Fortunatus6 17:14, 7 September 2006

: It's neither - they're not making fun of you nor is it necessarily a
good thing. It's just a common saying, some local colloquialism that
shouldn't be taken too seriously. Axel Eble 13:53, 13
September 2006 (UTC)
: You should keep in mind that in the german language normally a "Freiburger" is
a person living in Freiburg, and not a person whose last name is
"Freiburger". I can assure that nobody is making fun of your ancestors.
The tour guides also point out that saying.  It is well-known, but just as a cute local saying. LTC (Ret.) David J. Cormier (talk) 20:48, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: The section is intended for official sister (or twin) towns. The information about Fryburg and other towns started by Freiburgers could probably be put somewhere else in the article. Lars T. 07:45, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Someone has been making multiple anonymous edits to this article lately, a few minutes apart, and with a lot of English errors. This makes it more difficult and time-consuming to track changes and correct them. The edits are coming from a few German IP addresses. It would be much easier for us en users who watch this page if the anonymous editor(s) would submit their changes over fewer sessions, and be more careful with the English. I am posting a message in German to ask the anonymous editors to consider condensing their edits and signing their edit summaries:
An die anonyme Bearbeiter(innen): Hallo und danke für Ihre Beiträge. Es wäre für uns (en-Benutzer) viel leichter beim Korrekturlesen, wenn Sie mehrere Bearbeitungen auf einer Editiersitzung machen würden, anstatt eine Reihe von kleineren alle paar Minuten zu machen. Wenn Sie Benutzer auf de.wikipedia.org sind, aber keine Lust haben, einen Benutzernamen hier auf en zu schaffen, könnten Sie sich wahlweise durch eine Unterschrift in der Zusammenfassung bekanntmachen, z.B.:
[[:de:Benutzer:<Ihr Benutzername auf de>]]
oder:

Auf diese Weise können wir besser an diesen Artikel zusammenarbeiten. Danke im Voraus! -Eric talk 06:14, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

message: In the section Notable residents, it is stated that Gerdvic von Holtzapple was the last commander of the 10th SS Panzer Division Frundsberg during World War II. However, in the article on the 10th SS Panzer Division Frundsberg, Franz Roestel is listed as the last commander. There must be an error in one of the articles. Coyets (talk) 14:05, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Even if this guy had ever existed there seems to be no reason why he should have been a notable resident. Almost as importantly, his name sounds much more like something made up by an English speaker than a real German name, and the careless orthography underscores this. I removed this guy as a likely prank. --Hans Adler (talk) 12:25, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
