Talk:Darmstadt

message: "Most of Darmstadt's 3000 Jews were killed by the Nazi regime between 1933 and 1945."
Though I do not doubt the Holocaust in general, I should add that the most German Jews did survive the  Genocide through early emigration after the Nazis took power. The big bulk of killed Jews were the Jews of Eastern Europe.
:This is half-true bullshit. 90% of Germany's jews still in Germany in 1939 were estimated killed. While there were a lot of emigrees, saying 'most survived' is close to propaganda, and misses the point.MadMaxDog 11:43, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll partly revert myself. It seems that a very large proportion of German Jews DID escape. However, the 3000 mentioned in the article were actual deaths, not the whole number of Jews present pre-Nazi times. MadMaxDog 12:20, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: To further compliacte matters, the source I gave for the Jewish shops being closed in Darmstadt seems to indicate that much fewer Jews actually ended up being killed during the war in Darmstadt, yet in another section seems to imply that he was talking only about 'local' Jews and not about Polish Jews (who had emigrated to Darmstadt in the directly pre-Nazi years). Seeing that official sources are pretty set on the 3000 deported to concentration camps, I'll keep that here for now. Could anybody help clarify?MadMaxDog 12:26, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Jews

message: The September_11 line for 1944 says that 11 500 were killed, but this page says 12 300.  What are the sources for/verifiability of this?

message: From city: "City is primarily used to designate an urban settlement with a large population. However, city may also indicate a special administrative, legal, or historical status." Anyway, how much bigger than 140,000 does a population have to be to be called a city? Lars T. 22:49, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed, and in addition to my previous arguments in the edit summary (usage on the English version of the city council website, size and importance), there is also the statistical city definition per de:Großstadt (German version of 'city')  and the List of cities in Germany with more than 100,000 inhabitants.

thread_title:  City vs. town 

message: The remarkable water tower by the Eisenbahn with pointed roof, which has had an art studio and restaurant in it, deserves mention and a photograph. We already have :Image:Darmstadt-Wasserturm-1.jpg available. I shall add it. Tilsit 09:59, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, yes, fair go, its a nice building, and very iconic of Darmstadt. But PLEASE don't put it in full-size on the talk page! I fixed your image link on here. ;-) MadMaxDog 11:37, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Notable Buildings 

message: In addition to Cambrai-Fritsch Kaserne, Darmstadt also has U.S. Army personnel at Kelly Barracks.  There is also Ernst Ludwig Kaserne, just south of Kelly Barracks, but that has been returned to the city some years ago.  Also, I believe that AFN Europe operates from Frankfurt, not Darmstadt. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kernelgt (talk • contribs) 
:AFN has left its building in Frankfurt about 2 years ago, and moved operations to Mannheim. Lars T. 16:34, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The airport mentioned is named "Ernst Ludwig" airport AFAIK, and it is still under US control. And the other bases should be in the article too. --Ysangkok (talk) 18:12, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, the airport was called the Griesheim Army Airfield and is now known as August-Euler-Flugplatz. Lars T. (talk) 23:53, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Military 

message: How do people feel about pruning that subsection? Any city that has existed for a long time and is any size is likely to be able to fill such a subcat quite quickly. And while certainly many people of city X are notable enough to be on Wikipedia (and are welcome to be linked backwards to their birthplace), I do not think that most of them are so notable that they should stay with a forward link.
I think that most of the newer (still living) names in the category do not justify inclusion under tighter critera. Should be narrowed down to 4-6 of the list only - like Büchner, Goethe, Prinzessin Alice von Hessen', Lichtenberg, von Liebig...
What do others feel? Ingolfson 06:40, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Seeing that editors keep adding people, but no one ever comments here, let me just reiterate my stance to clarify in the light of recent additions which I reverted: Wikipedia (to my knowledge) has no hard and fast consensus on who to include in a "famous people of" section (or even if it should exist at all!). I consider however that such a section should contain only people who are not only notable enough to be on Wikipedia (and those will be more and more - with loose criteria, any large city could conceivably have hundreds or even thousands of people notable enough to be on Wikipedia), they should also be indisputably important even in relation to other notable people AND have a close and meaningful connection to the city. This means that many people (especially many "recently famous" people/living people) would not qualify. I think that a better solution is instead to create a category for such people from a certain city, instead of linking them all from the article. Ingolfson (talk) 05:24, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

text: Please read the section again. Justus Liebig is the first on the list! Masgo (talk) 13:02, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

thread_title: sister cities

message: "the origins of the name are unknown", this reminded my wife, who comes from Darmstadt, of the following local explanation of the name "Darmstadt": Originally the town was called "Armstadt" (Poor Town) and Umstadt (Groß Umstadt, approx. 20 Km. east of Darmstadt), was called Dumstadt (no translation needed), by mutual agreement the inhabitants of both towns decided to transfer the leading "D" from Dumstadt to Armstadt, thus improving both names at a stroke.
This has no basis in fact of course, but it makes a nice story. And who says that the Germans have no sense of humour!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chris.in.Dieburg (talk • contribs) 15:39, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

message: Is there a particular reason that most (all?) of the images in the article are "forced to imagebox width" (254 pixels), rather than allowing them to be the standard thumb size (default: 220 pixels)?  A number of them are portrait-oriented, and thus become a bit large at 254px width.—DocWatson42 (talk) 03:53, 20 July 2014 (UTC)
