German names
You should probably add a source for all the German names you're adding to town and village pages, otherwise it can be challenged and removed. Rockypedia (talk) 23:14, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

Saint Louis
For your information, since you are more preoccupied to add German names to any town or territory that were part of the former German Reich for a short or longer period of time, instead of taking the time to read the articles. Saint Louis was a new town created after the thirty years war and named Bourg Neuf by the locals. In 1684 in honour of Saint Louis, the Saint patron of the French kings and to honour the reigning king Louis XIV the town was baptised Saint Louis. So indeed, during the annexation of Alsace in 1871 and for 48 years, the germans just translated the name of the town in German. And as for the bilingual mention in your comment the region is no longer bilingual, according to the last local census about 3 to 5% of the young population speaks Alsatian, especially at the border. You should come and visit us in Alsace once; you will be very welcome in France. Kind regards--Gabriel HM (talk) 00:55, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for your message. In fact they had been part of the German-led Holy Roman Empire for centuries and most of the people had spoken a German dialect since the Alemanni settled there in the 5th century A.D. France seized them during the Thirty Years' War. Your post sounds as it was a part of Germany in 1815 for the first time. That is historically not true. The other villages I added a german names also were a part of germany ( Schlesien etc.). I also already visited Elsaß it's beautiful. Renekm (talk) 13:08, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

It was part of Germany for the first time in 1871, before Germany did not exit. HRE is NOT Germany. Alsace before being french was a possession of the Habsburg, and the duchy of Luxembourg. This myth that of all the territories are supposed to be german because they were part of the Holy Roman Empire, is crap. So according to this point of view, Savoy, northern Italy, Franche Comté and Burgundy, or Luxembourg should be german ???? This kind of thinking was the one adopted by the pan germanist "thinkers", and we all know were it lead to. i'm confused with the 1815 date because it has nothing to do with alsace, it is French since 1648. Even after the total defeat of napoleon in 1815, nobody changed the border of France and kept Alsace. And once again a nationality or a will to belong to a country is not based on ethnicity or dialect sorry. And for history goes, since you are trying to make a point with the alemanni settling in the 5 century, why the french would not argue that it was part of the gaul before the "invasion". this is just ludicrous and dangerous. When in 1871, bismarck proclaimed the annexation, the posters were torn on the streets of the Alsatian cities, and the word jamais/niemals were written on it. For 20 years after the annexation only the deputies asking the return to Alsace Lorraine to France were elected to the reichtag, with a formal plead at each opening session to be retuned to France. Even Willem the first himself, in a letter wrote to the imperatrice Eugenie, said that he did not consider Alsace Lorraine as German but french, but wanted those territory to create a buffer zone between the two countries, to prevent any revenge since he knew that France will never accept it.He wanted especially strasbourg and Metz since there were huge fortified town. (And by the way the fact that the Metz region was only french speaking was not problem in this case....) https://lepetitprofdhistoire.files.wordpress.com/2015/04/lettre-de-guillaume-c3a0-limpc3a9ratrice.jpg (this is the letter written by his own hand and kept in the museum of the armies) Alsace saw the birth of the french revolution, the marseillaise was created and sung for the first time in Strasbourg, the best marshals like Kléber and Kellerman were Alsatians and fought and defeated the Prussians that tried to enter in Alsace. See for exemple the battle of Wissembourg or the Army the Rhine. In 1916 at the eve of the battle of Verdun, that alsatians deserted the german army to warn the french about the imminent attack. During the illegal annexation of Alsace in 1942, the nazis had to draft the young mosellan and Alsatians by force with treat to jail their family, since nobody wanted to be german nor to fight for the Reich, many fled to the rest of france, joined the resistance, or deserted. I'm sorry, but this way of thinking just goes to nowhere. the reich is gone beaten two times, deal with it. I hope that these precision will give you another point of view about his region, and not standing on ancestral linguistic principle of nationality... kind regards--Gabriel HM (talk) 12:00, 12 October 2017 (UTC)

Your whole text here is nonsense, go by sources and history and not your interpretation. Napoleon would be proud of you. The Rhine is all french isnt it? After your logic you should give back Monaco region and Bretagne. Many people there dont even call themselves french. But it has no sense to discuss with you. You only see world war one and two in your mind. The fact that it was a part way way before a france even existed, is something you will not accept and as I have seen in your talk page, you are not only joking, you are serious about this and a lot of people dont agree with you. But that is something somone like you will never accept or see. Have a good day. Renekm (talk) 23:19, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
