Translation from the German article

I'm workin on it, step by step, folks. - Che Nuevara: ^{Join the Revolution} 16:12, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Completed Translation!

Marvellous! Although it needs style improvement and proof reading (hint hint), the core text of the article is translated. Clauses myself and german speakers found ambiguous have been left in german. If you are of able ability, to disambiguate their meaning would be wonderful! Also the wikification and insertion of pictures that are on the commons would be of course, excellent.

Work to do

I don't speak German, but this article looks great, but it still has a few parts with some German that have to be trasnlated. If more info is available from the German article, it'd be good to add and also pictures, which this article lacks a lot in comparison to the German version. I really think this has potential to get FA status.--Serte 17:46, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

It looks to me to be a very complete translation of the German article. There are, I believe, a number of pictures in the Commons -- I'll look for them.

I think, though, that this article needs some work before it's FA material. It's a very exact copy of the German article; the German Wikipedia has a much higher tolerance for OR and POV than the English does, and some of that needs to be worked out of this first. - Che Nuevara 18:06, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

wrong phrase

Malskat, jetzt müssen Sie ran! definitly does not translate to now you must run. Ran rather translates to near or get near. Literally it could be thought of somewere near Malskat, now you must get near (to something) maybe like you must step up (to the work) now. In this context it could be translated to It's your turn now. I don't know the book but it can be thought of a quote from Fey giving Malskat the order to do the paintings using more of his own imagination and adding without archeoligical proof where evidence is missing? --T.woelk 10:15, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

I agree with your assessment of the quotation. It could idiomatically be translated with a little more necessity, something like "now you've got to step up". But yes, you are absolutely correct. - Che Nuevara 17:50, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I quite agree, that is obviously an error on my part. I guess my concentration must have wavered slightly at the end. ;) Regards, WilliamH 12:18, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Conflicting Information

This section:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Mary%27s_Church,_L%C3%BCbeck#Lothar_Malskat_and_the_frescos

from the article on the Marienkirche in Lübeck directly contradicts an account detailed in this section:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%C3%BCbeck#History

from an article on Lübeck. It appears that the account in the article on Lübeck does not cite any sources whereas that in the article on the Marienkirche does. How does this work? Can anyone change it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.91.228.31 (talk) 02:23, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

I have removed the details from this article, since the information was really too detailed for an article on the church. Proper clarification would have required even more detail. --Boson (talk) 18:31, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

St. Mary-organist must marry the daughter from last organist

I´m from germany, my English is bad. I miss the (in Germany famous) story with the organist wifes at St. Mary in this article: Buxtehude (must) marry the daughter from Franz Tunder to get the job of St. Mary-Organist, and Schieferdecker must take the daughter Anna Margareta Buxtehude (born 1675, died 1709. She was "thick and ugly", see this german article. Bach, Händel and Mattheson didn´t marry this women)..... J P Kunzen was the first organist without the repression to marry the daughter from the last organist. Read more in this german article.--32-Fuß-Freak (talk) 13:52, 24 December 2020 (UTC)

which one is nr 2 largest?

I guess cologne is nr 1 but which german church is nr 2 largest? Frauenkirche munchen? or ulm cathedral maybe? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.174.67.69 (talk) 01:35, 30 June 2007

If you see the ground area (m²), the Berlin cathedral is the largest protestant church in germany. I think, the Ulm minster is after cologne cathedral the second largest german church.--32-Fuß-Freak (talk) 13:59, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
