Talk:Kannenbäckerland

Translation
While „Kannenbäcker“ de facto means "potter", it is a highly special expression which is not standard German. The usual word for "potter" is "Töpfer". The "Kannenbäcker" term (literally "jug baker") is used in the name of this region only, so a more literal translation should be in place to convey the idea. --Kreuzschnabel (talk) 20:53, 2 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Yes, I researched all that and concluded that no English person would understand "jug baker" as it's not an expression we use. I've left it in, but added "potters' land" back in to try and convey what it actually means as well as what it literally means. Bermicourt (talk) 21:45, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

Pipes for what purpose
"Hilgert pipe making" -- are these tobacco pipes, or pipes for water systems and sewage? Vagabond nanoda (talk) 02:28, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
 * The German says Pfeife, so it's the former. Bermicourt (talk) 07:29, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
