"In strictly civil free imperial cities like Hamburg, where no patricians (Patrizier) were existing..." this is nonsense. The patricians were the ruling class in the imperial and hanseatic cities instead of the nobility. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.189.126.246 (talk) 14:36, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I deleted the so-called literal translation "great citizen". It's not a translation, because it doesn't convey the meaning of the original term. (It's also not literal, because citizen is neither a cognate nor a lexical equivalent.) There's really no point to most of the so-called "literal translations" people seem to like inserting at the beginning of articles. (I would also question whether there's such a thing as a "literal translation".)—Wegesrand (talk) 16:06, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
