I have an obituary where it says the person was born in Hessen Castle, Germany. Does anyone have any idea if it is a town or an actual castle? -- Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) ( talk) 05:10, 10 June 2010 (UTC) reply

Hessen is a very widely used name in Germany. One possibility would be Schloß Hessen [1] near Osterwieck. Do you have any other information, particular other place names?-- Traveler100 ( talk) 05:40, 10 June 2010 (UTC) reply

Nope thats all the obit said. Maybe a death certificate will have more information. -- Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) ( talk) 05:55, 10 June 2010 (UTC) reply

Did the original German text say Burg (castle) or Schloß (residence)? -- Traveler100 ( talk) 06:17, 10 June 2010 (UTC) reply
