I suggest a Category like the Halls of fame for the articles about the "inmates" of the Walhalla. Any ideas? -- Matthead 00:19, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
No habla ingles, folks, that's why I have added "en-0 This user does not understand English (or understands it with considerable difficulty)" to my user page. To my defence, Google has counted about 163,000 for +"enshrinee", and four times as many for "inductee" (and probably quite a lot for "member"). Wiktionary does not know "enshrinee", but there's inductee. And, according to Merriam-Webster's Online Dictionary:
The most convincing examples, though, are available from the NFL: 13 Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinee Banners ($49.99 each). -- Matthead Discuß 23:03, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
EINSTEIN The great German physicist Albert Einstein is included. Curious that some racist Israelis want to deny Einstein his German soul.-- 81.35.237.47 ( talk) 05:33, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
I think some quotes of Ludwig I. should be mentioned in the article, f. e. this one: "Möchte Walhalla förderlich sein der Erstarkung und der Vermehrung deutschen Sinnes! Möchten alle Deutschen, welchen Stammes sie auch seien, immer fühlen, dass sie gemeinsames Vaterland haben. Und jeder trage bei, soviel er vermag, zu dessen Verherrlichung!" This shows Ludwig's patriotic way of thinking. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.145.168.41 ( talk • contribs) 12:06, 3 June 2007
how come Brahms hasn't been commemorated with a bust, only with a plaque?
there are plenty of his portraits lying around in archives to carve a bust from. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.142.96.14 ( talk • contribs) 17:33, 15 June 2006
What about post-Norman conquest English? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Doctor Hesselius ( talk • contribs) 20:53, 11 December 2006 (edit)
The article is silent on whether any additions made during the 12 years of Nazi rule were removed after 1945. I can't imagine Hitler or his cronies being left out of such a prestigious gallery. -- Iacobus 23:50, 18 January 2007 (UTC)--
Only people who have been dead at least 20 years can get a bust in the Walhalla. Hitler died in 1945, so.... -- 89.60.227.119 18:28, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
Only the bust of Anton Bruckner was added during the Nazi rule. 81.217.10.220 08:02, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
In honor of his quick rise to lead Germany's politics should he be noted as an leader of the German Working Party. But still this ignored by the Walhalla Administration Committee. 81.167.229.130 ( talk) 07:52, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
Walhalla temple → Walhalla memorial – The Walhalla is simply not a temple, it's a memorial. Teppese ( talk) 23:28, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

Mentioned at #64 as well as at #127. German article has Schelling at #64. Corrected accordingly. -- BjKa ( talk) 12:38, 26 June 2018 (UTC)
Someone added "German" to Copernicus's listing here, so might as well start a talk page before any kind of edit war.
The matter of Copernicus's nationality is clearly a sticky wicket, but also one already discussed at length in the relevant Talk page(s). A matter particular to Walhalla, however, is that this place's authorities at the time clearly thought Copernicus was German—otherwise, why put him there?
This leads easily into my second point. If everyone in the Walhalla memorial is (or perhaps presumed to be) German, why is the format for most of the entries in the list "German/Dutch/Swiss (occupation)"? Isn't this a bit repetitive in this case?
With this, I propose rewording every entry so the individual's achievement is emphasized: for example, number 37, Johannes von Reuchlin, would go from "German philosopher and humanist" to "advocate for the study of Hebrew and Greek"; and number 52, Nicolaus Copernicus, would get "creator of the first non-speculative heliocentric model". In the few cases where this is inappropriate, they should just follow the example of number 40 (Albrecht Dürer) and avoid mentioning nationality because, to reiterate, Walhalla's original concept has already assumed this for us.
