Talk:St. Trinitatis, Wolfenbüttel

Name
Just dropping this thought here: the name of this article should be Trinity Church, Wolfenbüttel. --evrik (talk) 00:35, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
 * This is a name that is not used in a single source. Most of those say St. Trinitatis, but our Wikidata and commons have Trinitatiskirche. One source has "St. Trinity Church" but that complete translation is questionable, feel free to compare German and English. I'll go ahead and move to St. Trinitatis, Wolfenbüttel. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:37, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
 * You find the sources when you search in English. --evrik (talk) 18:04, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Do you think one lighting provider using that name makes it the common name? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:15, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
 * In English, perhaps. I'm not going to make an issue of this today, but after the DYK posts, maybe then. --evrik (talk) 19:18, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Perhaps my thinking is too simple: I believe that a "common name" should be commonly used. If a topic is often mentioned in a foreign language and rarely in English, the foreign name will be more common, no? Erschallet, ihr Lieder, for example. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:10, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

Kaisertor
Was the structure a Kaisertor, or was it a Kaiserturm or Kaiserturm?--evrik (talk) 19:42, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
 * The structure was a Kaisertor, but not the specific one in Lübeck, a real building of defense that is. The others were honorific monuments to a German emperor, so 19th century and early 20th. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:14, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Was it a city gate? --evrik (talk) 16:23, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:36, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Describe the facade
Looking for a neutral word in English to describe the typical Baroque facade which is there to show off. The German words are Prunkfassade (Prunk = splendour, pomp, magnificence) and Schaufassade. I tried "splendid" but it was removed as not neutral. Sorry about my lack of English. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:30, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I saw the change made by . I inserted "highly decorative". --evrik (talk) 16:21, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you, better than nothing. I read the article on Baroque architecture but found no word. The German "dekorativ" means something different, but I keep learning ;) - again I found no good English word for rather smallish things, such as laces on a dress, and usually meant in a negative way. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:40, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I removed splendid because I interpret that as an opinionated statement. I'm open to other descriptive words being used. Z1720 (talk) 18:44, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
 * As said again and again English is not my first language, and I thought it was a good to describe the splendour. I got it from my translator for "prächtig" and "prachtvoll", which are both neutral and descriptive in German. Learning, learning. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:22, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
