Talk:Limburg

Deutscherbund?
I read somewhere that Limburg joint the "Deutscher Bund", the German Union in 1839. How long did that membership last? Shouldnt it be mentioned here?


 * It is mentioned in the Duchy of Limburg article. -- Picapica 08:48, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Indeed, I have also seen references to Limburg joining the German Confederation. However, I am not familiar with any sources of this. I would assume that Limburg withdrew from the German Confederation when it basically disbanded with the formation of the German Empire under Kaiser Wilhelm through the guidance of Otto von Bismarck. --Benn M. 06:11, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Parts of Limburg have always been part of the German Confederation (like Thorn) and some (like Roermond) have been a part of the confederation till 1870. They remained a prt of the confederation till the formation of the empire. Thorn was the smallest souvereign state in Der Deutscher Bund. Jorgenpfhartogs 23:22, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Cleanup
Re the cleanup notice: Since we already have articles on the Duchy of Limburg, Limburg (Belgium), Limburg (Netherlands), and the Limburgish language, I doubt we need this one; I would suggest incorporating any information here that is not already included elsewhere to the appropriate articles and then deleting this one. -- Picapica 08:45, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
