Talk:Erlangen

Former US Military base...
Seems odd that there's no mention of Ferris Barracks whatsoever. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.87.20.98 (talk) 01:58, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Content dispute remarks moved from article to here
The current piece on the FAU reads as follows in the Erlangen city wiki. "In 1742, Count Friedrich of Bayreuth founded a university for the residency town Bayreuth, but due to the rebelliousness of the local students, the university was transferred to Erlangen. Only later did it obtain the name of "Friedrich-Alexander-University" and become a Prussian state university. Famous students of these times were Johann Ludwig Tieck and Wilhelm Heinrich Wackenroder."

The assertion that it became a "Russian state university" does not seem to make any sense and is not confirmed by the university's own online history. I suggest that the phrase "and became a Prussian state university" be stricken. --Tedcrackel (talk) 13:21, 18 March 2008 (UTC) Ted Crackel

Erlangen program
Talking about the Erlangen program in this article might (I think it is) relevant to this article. (Just a small note of course). 131.111.247.194 (talk) 13:18, 10 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I was amazed to find no mention of the Erlangen program in this article, since that's the reason why everyone one earth (except non-mathematicians, maybe) has heard of the place. I've added a paragraph. Michael Hardy (talk) 19:33, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

"It is an annual tradition when leaving the Berch of an evening to go to the world famous Wheelers Pub and sample more traditional beer."

I deleted this because it is simply an add and far from the truth.

Erlanger Bergkirchweih
I was posted to Warner Barracks in Bamberg, Germany 1981 to 1987. German and American soldiers referred to this festival as "Strawberry Fest" or "Strawberry Hill Fest" Tjlynnjr (talk) 08:37, 25 January 2014 (UTC).

famous residents
Is it really necessary to have so many Nazi war heroes listed among the city's famous residents? This is the city of Noether and Ohm; it's weird to juxtapose them to people who are famous for no reason other than military service to the Third Reich.--46.189.28.70 (talk) 10:00, 15 July 2016 (UTC)
