Sparrenburg
Well, the Sparrenburg is official known as "Burg Sparrenberg" - Sparrenburg is colloquial speech.

County Borough
The correct description for a Landkreis seems to be County. The Deutscher Landkreistag calls itself German County Association. This really makes sense. In the context of the EU the federal system of Germany is structured as follows: 1)	municipalities, which are local self-government bodies 2)	counties, which are also local self-government bodies 3)	districts, which are only an administrative level of the administration of the Bundesland, therefore they are better called “regional district” 4)	federal states also called regions in the European context or land This wording is used in the European context by the German County Association, the German Association of Town and municipalities and the German Association of Cities which are the official representatives of the local government bodies. This Nomenclature makes a clear differentiation between the self-government bodies, which are granted by the German constitution and the merely administrative level of the regional district. According to this definition the kreisfreie Stadt should be called County Borough. The term County Borough, even though it is now historical, describes perfectly the fact that this is a city or town independent to a county and with the self-governance competencies of a county. Therefore I have changed this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.136.208.149 (talk) 15:43, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

History, Nazi Germany

It is a bit odd that the history of Dürkoppwerke gets analyzed under "Nazi Germany", and the incorporation of the southerly parts (in 1973!) isn't really overshadowed by Naziism either. Some clearing-up and restructuring would seem in place. Puddington (talk) 23:28, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

notable people
Who is "Annabella Salder" and what is the "Ah bona Price (Rome)"? Nothing can be found on these nor on "Rosie Jacobs". Compared to Bodelschwingh, Assmann or Wader, they aren't by any chance notable. Dante aurelius (talk) 18:20, 30 August 2014 (UTC)

The last sections
Transport on down. There's something amiss with the display. I'm not very good on infoboxes, but it's the foreign residents one that's causing the trouble - in the Demographics section. I've tried to tweak it, but failed to keep it with a normal display of the other sections. (I can get them OK, but then the infobox disintegrates...) Can someone have a look at it? Peridon (talk) 12:03, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

Demographics: wrong numbers
I closed the "demographics" infobox, but in doing so I noticed that the data is not correct. The stated source does not mention all these nationalities, and for the ones that do appear not all numbers agree. In particular, the largest group is that of Turkish origin, not CIS, and the other numbers seem quite wrong (a large number of African states with numbers that seem too high as well). From the given source, the correct section to use is probably "2. Bevölkerung nach Zuwanderungshintergrund (Teil 1)" [population with a migration background, part 1], section "ausländisch" [foreign]. Perhaps the numbers from the next page, which is about Germans with a second citizenship, should be added. Numbers for other states, such as Poland and Croatia, agree exactly with those from part 1 of the source. Strange.

Weather:Rain
In the German version (obviously more complete and accurate), we can read that the average rain is more than 800 mm, in English less than 500mm (less than in Southern Spain, for example). I guess one of them is wrong. Ibn Gabirol (talk) 21:15, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

The numbers given here are wrong. The website given as source mentions rain and snowfall seperately, and only the rainfall data seems to have been copied. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.183.46.30 (talk) 14:21, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

The list is now long, should we make an own article of it?--Buchbibliothek (talk) 22:20, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

Notable person Friedrich Otto (computer scientist) born 1952 link broken.
Friedrich Otto (computer scientist) born 1952 link, goes to C. F Otto, taxonomist from 1800s. And for some reason, I can't edit the link. 24.156.181.22 (talk) 02:47, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

I found no reason on the talk page that this should be locked. Someone else will have to do the work.
 * Fixed. (Reason for the page being locked is the Bielefeld Conspiracy which lead to continuous vandalism.) Kind regards, Grueslayer 05:52, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

Founder
The article says the founder was Herrmann IV of Ravensburg (unsourced), but Ravensburg says the same person was Herrmann II. Indeed Herrmann II looks more credible, but we need sources anyway.--Ymblanter (talk) 22:02, 6 November 2019 (UTC)
 * The German Wikipedia also says Herrmann II.--Ymblanter (talk) 22:03, 6 November 2019 (UTC)

Arminia Bielefeld is competing in the 1. Bundesliga for the 2020-2021 season. The page currently reads that they are in the 2. Bundesliga. This can be checked by any league table. 128.187.116.28 (talk) 11:46, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

❌, I'm sorry but we cannot accept blank edit requests.

Climate
The claim in the text about the average annual precipitation is quite a bit off from the table of data. 128.187.112.11 (talk) 22:41, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
