Talk:Prora

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It appears that the intent for someone is to translate the "Prora" article in German into English. Excellent article, but a big job even for those fluent in both languages.--TGC55 23:50, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

yes, I started translating it, but I've been unable to devote time and energy to finish it. Bo-Lingua

Good and faithful work so far. Maybe I can help. I'm a Englishe speaker with some low level skill in German, mostly translating into English. Have you ever been to Prora? I was there once with a Swiss & German tour group and the tour bus driver appeared embarassed by the buildings and didn't say anything about them until I asked him in German. To me, it was really interesting from a number of aspects. The Island of Rügen was interesting from a nature and historical POV. --TGC55 11:13, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

if there are questions concerning the translation i will try to answer these. (i have done some edits on the de.wp article ;-) --BLueFiSH ?! 21:31, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Other very long houses"?

What possible bearing does this have on the topic? It doesn't add anything to the analysis of the structure, it doesn't even seek to provide a context for the structure. It's just a list of long buildings bolted on to the article. Removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.229.191.230 (talk) 03:58, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Topic of article

Prora is NOT "a Nazi-planned spa on the island Rügen, Germany." Prora is a town on Rügen, in which the resort is located. Nor is the resort a "spa" - it is a beach resort. Also "Nazi-planned" is very vague. The resort was planned and built by a specific agency (the KdF of the DAF). Intelligent Mr Toad (talk) 22:10, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
