Expansion

Though I am adverse to translating into English rather than from English into my native German, I felt called upon to do something about this stub dormant since 2009. I have concentrated on information I felt might be of interest to anglophone readers. Actually, I did it in preparation of the launch of my translation of the article on Amandus church whose beauty I feel should not be withheld from anglophone readers. --Terminally uncool (talk) 21:34, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

With the additions of today I think some mighty administrator or other potentate of the Wikipedian powers that be might erase the expansion and stub tags of this article... (though, of course, some links have still to be inserted, to which, however, I do not feel up any more for today...) --Terminally uncool (talk) 13:25, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

Knights and Barons

First let me thank you for your help in tagging and detagging and the corrections of my misspelling.

However: Knights are not barons, which anglophone articles, too, explain, and this for the situation in various countries. They explain too, that a non hereditary barony is a twentieth century notion, whereas a knighthood always may have been either hereditary or non hereditary, and usually in the beginnings was not. In anglosaxon parts a knighthood is geneally not hereditary, whereas in the Holy Roman Empire a huge stratum of organised hereditary knights existed; one of them, a Freiberg resident, wrote 26 volumes on the constitution of Imperial Knighthood and the organisation of their holdings. Hence, I think that the change fom "knigt" to "baron", and that without eliminating the "hereditary", was not a good idea... --Terminally uncool (talk) 08:24, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
