Just a note: I removed 'goose-stepping' from the description of the military parades, as I felt it was needlessly POV (given the common association of the term with Nazism in the English language). Feel free to argue for it here if you feel it is important to the article. 156.34.221.174 21:05, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
Not at all, 'goose-stepping' states for the German term "Preussischer Stechschritt" that was introduced long time ago before Nazi Germany was established. It´s a specail kind of march established by the Prussian kings, also used by other German kingdoms, Nazi Germany and the GDR. No other German state uses this kind of march after the WW II (19:09, 6 May 2006, 85.178.127.67)
There's a really interesting self-referential story about this street on the German Wikipedia: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl-Marx-Allee#Kurioses (google translate version [1]). It basically says that a journalist added the "fact" that this street used to be called "stalin's bathroom" by the locals to the Wikipedia article - as a joke. This "fact" was then picked up and used by many tourist guides. When he came to try and remove the sentence later on it was returned because the "fact" was now verifiable! He published a story about it in his newspaper in order to provide a verififiable source for removing the story :-) Yes, it's self referential to WP, but it's a really interesting and well cited story. Can we add this to the English version? Witty Lama 09:24, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

I want to make you aware of a discussion at /info/en/?search=Talk:Horst-Wessel-Lied, how to spell Straße and Große. Though a majority supports the spelling with "ß" User:Beyond My Ken is blocking this consensus. Please joint the discussion. -- Nillurcheier ( talk) 15:06, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
