Ludwigsburg Palace

 * ... that Eberhard Louis, Duke of Württemberg, had a secret staircase to the apartment of his lover Wilhelmine von Grävenitz at Ludwigsburg Palace (pictured)?
 * ALT1: ... that Ludwigsburg Palace (pictured) was the site of the Borkum Island war crimes trial in early 1946?
 * ALT2:... that Ludwigsburg Palace (pictured), the "Versailles of Swabia," was home to four of Württemberg's rulers?
 * Comment: I think I'm still in the first five articles before PQQ. I am willing to commit myself to fighting DYK backlogs if I am not. – Vami _IV✠  11:56, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

Improved to Good Article status by Vami IV (talk) on 1 August 2018. Nominated by Vami IV (talk) at 11:56, 1 August 2018 (UTC).


 * Symbol voting keep.svg Detailed, substantial Good article, on plenty of sources, offline source accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. The image is licensed, but I wonder if the lead image couldn't give more of an idea how vast it is. I like ALT2 best. The original distracts by too many links before the place is even mentioned. The second is very particular. I like "Versailles of Swabia". I have a few questions regarding the article, but they are more for the peer review ;) - Ludwigsburg is a town, not a city, no? Bold the original name, as a working redirect? - Will use it as qpq for Schloss Weilburg which has no references yet. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:34, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Image replaced with lead image. Ludwigsburg is a city and received its city-papers from Eberhard Louis in 1718. – Vami _IV✠  21:08, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
 * For WP:Germany, a city is a place with more than 100,000 inhabitants. It's town privileges, DYK? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:19, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
