(??? I can assure you that there is definitely no German village with that name! Obviously this mistake has also been made in the internet source... Rheinland (=Rhineland) is a region in West Germany, while the name of the village could be Kaltennordheim, which is in the German state of Thüringen (=Thuringia), far more in the East. I´ve no idea what could be meant by "Ellectfeld". It seems as if there weren´t many sources about August Leimbach but perhaps someone finds out, anyway... .

Kaishu, please, it was not a vandalism. The anon raised a valid concern, but posted in a wrong place. Such things must be copied to the talk page, rather than simply reverted Mikkalai 21:35, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I have trimmed the name of the village until we can clarify it. I double-checked, and it was transcribed incorrectly from the source provided. I am doing some reasearch to get the name right, if possible. Thanks for the help, folks. Vaoverland 01:37, Apr 26, 2005 (UTC)

The correct spelling of Ellectfeld is "Elberfeld". This is now a part of Wuppertal. --A.Sopfie 10:02, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
