Talk:Detlef Schrempf
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Detlef was infact the first person to do the three point dunk. I was there.
[edit] West Germany
Schrempff was born in the Federal Republic of Germany. A country named West Germany never existed. The FRG incorporated the five new Bundesländer (states) after reunification (cf. here). So the country in which Leverkusen lies never changed its name since Schrempff was born. It is only ever since reunification that people refer to the FRG as Germany since the opposing GDR (or 'East Germany') doesn't exist any longer (see here: '"Since, the current 16-state Federal Republic of Germany is simply called Germany."'). Therefore, there is no ambiguity in writing Germany as it nowadays only refers to the FRG - the country in which Schrempff was born. ´Jellotrees —Preceding comment was added at 13:27, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
