Talk:Hamburg City Hall

"General Woltz"
On May 3, 1945 the Nazi commander in chief General Woltz surrendered Hamburg to the British Army.

— I cannot find any other reference to a German general named "Woltz" in either English or German. Consequently, I rewrote this sentence to say that the city was surrendered, etc.

I also added information taken from German Wiki re the City Hall being affected by Operation Gomorrah and rebuilt by 1957. The German Wiki entry states that the City Hall was  bis auf Außenmauern und untere Gewölbe ausgebombt, but I wasn't sure whether to say it was "largely gutted" and so I restricted the description to "heavily damaged."

Translation of Latin motto to English
I have just changed the English translation of the Latin motto. It previously said: "May posterity strive to preserve the freedom won by our elders", which is missing the fact, that both Latin original ("Libertatem quam peperere maiores digne studeat servare posteritas") and German translation ("Die Freiheit, die errungen die Alten, möge die Nachwelt würdig erhalten") put Freedom first. English can do that too, so I changed it to "The freedom won by our elders, may posterity strive to preserve it." Maybe there is another way to translate it, so I just mention it here for discussion. --109.43.0.162 (talk) 20:44, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
