how many names?

 * in the article***: There are about 1,000,000[citation needed] different family names in German.

The dtv-Atlas Namenkunde says:
 * Gesamtzahl genuin dt. Famililiennamen (...) Schätzungen (...) 150,000 und 300,000. (Numbers changed to English style [1.000 => 1,000])

which means that there are about 150,000 to 300,000 ‘genuine’ German family names (estimated). The book compares this to about 130,000 ‘genuine’ Italian family names and then says, in the USA about 1,500,000 names from many origins can be listed. Konrad Kunze / dtv-Atlas Namenkunde*) / Deutscher Taschenbuch Verlag (=dtv) 1998 / p.67: Die häufigsten Familiennamen

*) surprisingly not Namenskunde equals Onomastics (in English) Schwab7000 (talk) 15:46, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Doppelname (e. g. Hans-Wilhelm Müller-Wohlfahrt); my «chef-d'œuvre»
You can talk about “Doppelnamen” with first names and as well with family names. Examples:


 * Vornamen: Anne-Sophie Mutter or Hans-Dietrich Genscher
 * Nachnamen: Lena Meyer-Landrut or Dr. Müller-Wohlfahrt

Here we discuss family names (Nachnamen), I guess (the author of ‘lie’ gave no example.) With Vornamen, there is no problem to call a boy either “Hans Peter” or Hans-Peter (using “Bindestrichfügung”; attachment with hyphen) or even Hanspeter (“Verschmelzung”; melting). Herr Weiß and Frau Schwarz are today not allowed to call their daughter Melissa Schwarz-Weiß. --Schwab7000 (talk) 16:41, 21 June 2011 (UTC) This is what was said in the article:

* It is strictly forbidden to give children Doppelnamen.[3] → This link goes to  an “Urteil*) des Bundesverfassungsgerichts vom 30. Januar 2002” on “§ 1617 BGB”.   Since 2002, it is settled!

*) decision of the Federal Constitutional Court.


 * B U T: → What if the mother already carries the name Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger, just an example? (Then this can become the child's name.)

--Schwab7000 10:19, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

At en.wiki's BGB, I just found the ‘External links’:


 * * English translation of “Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch”

There you can find:


 * * Title 4 : Legal relationship between the parents and the child in general

Section 1616 Birth name in the case of parents with family name Section 1617 Birth name in the case of parents without family name and with joint parental custody — then Section 1617a & b & c    Section 1618 Bringing child under family name (...)

(Section is in German “§” = Paragraph) --Schwab7000 (talk) 12:04, 22 June 2011 (UTC) and Guillemets, also called angle quotes, are line segments, pointed as if arrows (« or »)

Saying farewell to the man of plums
This photo was at the top of the Germany (or German-speaking Europe) section. But in fact, it has little to do with Christmas, and even fewer with its traditions. You can buy the Pflaumentoffel at Christmas markets, like many other things. From ist history, this thing is linked with children working as chimney sweep. (see: de:Pflaumentoffel). The photo is removed from the article. Schwab7000 (talk) 13:46, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

This is a misspelling.

Probably, Berthold P. Wiesner is meant. See Psi (parapsychology) and Anna Gmeyner.

NEW
in (German wiki): Erzbistum Freiburg, it says: ''Durch die Neuordnung der Dekanate reduzierte sich deren Zahl von 39 auf 26. Die Regionen blieben unverändert.'' (Dekanatsreform, 1. Januar 2008).
 * With a realignment of the deaneries, their number was reduced from 39 to 26. The regions remained unchanged. January 2008.

Thus, Deanship of Wutachtal does no longer exist. --Schwab7000 (talk) 12:07, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
