Talk:Rintfleisch massacres

Untitled
Text could be enriched by a native: "Rintfleisch" is the Middle-High-German expression for beef ("Rindfleisch"). --Chris Langnickel 19:11, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

You should add in the alternate spellings; I searched google for Rindfleish, and could not find this article. 76.118.247.143 (talk) 06:32, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

Killed people
The number of 20.000 in the article is unrealistically high. It's a number that can be found in a map in the Atlas of Haim Beinart, but without any source. The "Memorbuch" (a book dedicated to the memory of jewish martyrs) from that time speaks of 3.441 people. But this book doesn't mention all the places of the Rintfleisch massacres - 44 of about 130 to 146, so the death toll could be three times higher (about 10.000). On the other hand, most of the cities with big jewish communites were already mentionend in the Memorbuch: Nürnberg (728), Rothenburg (469), Würzburg (932), Heilbronn (140), Bamberg (130). Friedrich Lotter speaks of 4000 to 5000 killed jews during the whole Rintfleisch pogrom. Numbers are from this book and article --KaterBegemot (talk) 10:34, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
