Landesfunkhaus Niedersachsen

 * ... that Dieter Oesterlen designed the large concert hall (exterior pictured) of the Funkhaus Hannover, now the Lower Saxony state broadcast station?
 * Reviewed: Timoclea
 * Comment: I will clean up the architect's article, and provide a source when I find one online, - it's another translation from de based on books I don't see, but trust. We can switch image caption and hook. The historic name Funkhaus Hannover appears more often on en than the official name, therefore piped.

 * Symbol question.svg This article is new enough and long enough. The image is appropriately licensed, the hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and the sources are not available to me, so I make no assessment of policy issues. However, I don't really understand the hook. Why is the word "now" included? Would ALT1 be better? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:28, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Well, you know how our watchful eyes are. When he designed it, it was called "Funkhaus Hannoer", note: city, not state. Only much later it was renamed. As said above: if you look around in articles in this English Wikipedia, "Funkhaus Hannover" - as a prominent concert venue - is mentioned much more often than the clumsy official name, which seems to get even more clumsy in translation, - also ambiguous, because what's called a "state" (Bundesland) within Germany would not be called like that in France, for example. In this case as many others, I'd prefer to stick to the original. Simpler perhaps:
