Talk:Passau
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Batavia

- (Answering my own question) According to German WP at least, that's the reason. Flapdragon 15:47, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
- Perhaps someone who reads German well can copy some of those facts from the German version into the English version? Crowston 03:40, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
