The new article on the Berlin Hauptbahnhof says it is "the largest passenger rail transportation hub in Europe." The Leipzig article says that Leipzig's railroad station is "now the largest passenger train station in Europe." Has the Berlin station taken the title of "largest station" away from Leipzig? How is the largest station measured, anyway? I'm not going to jump in and make a change, but figured I should point out the issue. GMcGath 19:27, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

According to de:Kopfbahnhof, Leipzig has the largest terminal station (by area) in Europe, and the largest in Germany. I will change this in this article; I am not certain how to measure this. Kusma (討論) 19:34, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Infobox German Location

Please introduce the Infobox German Location. It provides a coherent look among German cities. Lear 21 23:00, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] peaceful revolution

i'd find it important to mention the fact that leipzig is the german city where the peaceful revolution started and that with the demonstrations on the "leipziger ring" at the 9th of october 1989 the authority of the dictators of the gdr was broken and so the turning point was achieved. it is really important to know that without that demonstrations in leipzig the reunification of the both german states and so long-ranging the breakup of the eastern bloc hadn't been possible. for that reason leipzig is sometimes called "city of heroes". http://www.herbst89.de/startseite/leipzig-im-jahr-1989/oktober-1989.html (i don't know if there's any site in english but i hope that you'll understand it anyway) 91.65.196.189 (talk) 15:45, 8 December 2007 (UTC)----
