I would question the derivation: lauter meaning clear or bright. I am familiar with 'Lauter' being used in just two senses: 1) louder, and 2) as in 'Lauterkeit', meaning honest. -- Philopedia 13:59, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
++re: Translation Questionable ++
The writer is not correct. While "lauter" means louder in High German, In Swiss German this would be " luter ". In my opinion Lauterbrunnen means Clean Well; Brunnen meaning Well or Fountain. ( compare with "Lauterbach" < clean creek )-- 139.142.244.136 ( talk) 04:19, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
Misled by a good association. You need to keep in mind that translations and firm, direct, unanabigeous connections between words in two different languages do hardly exist.
Die richtige Erklärung lautet (näherungsweise) (: ≈'The right explanation is (approximately) [as you can/will hear/see)':
The first writer does not know much German. English is my native language, but I am fluent in German. The last writer is correct, but strays from the point. Lauterbrunnen obviously is derived from "lauter" meaning that the water from the Brunnen is clear and clean. In his video about the region, Rick Steves translated it incorrectly as "louder" -- which the word can mean, but certainly not in this context! I think the section on the toponym should be changed to reflect this. Ajrocke ( talk) 15:17, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
Is there any reason why the Jungfrau is not mentioned on this page?
