Map

I'd like a map of the state in a wider context, like the French-German frontier. --84.20.17.84 11:13, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Number of people

According to the german version, there Free State Bottleneck contained 17000 people instead of 8000 people here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.6.154.161 (talk) 13:14, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There are several contradictory figures to be found. About 8,000 is the most likely count when adding up the estimated population numbers of the places affected; maybe the larger number includes refugees or temporary dwellers as well. --Kreuzschnabel (talk) 08:29, 27 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Roads

The article says, The movement of goods and post to and from the state was only made possible by smuggling. While this was mostly so, it was not the only way though. First of Pnischeck’s actions was the construction of a makeshift track through the bottleneck woods towards Limburg which allowed a stagecoach twice a week first, then daily; however, this road could not provide enough traffic to import sufficient quantities of food and fuels, which had to be mainly smuggled in. The German article has been improved some time ago, maybe one would like to make use of it to improve this here one too :) --Kreuzschnabel (talk) 08:29, 27 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Real or advertisement expedient?

Is it real or is it an advertisement expedient?

In the coat of arms there are two lions toasting with a bottle. Are the source reliable? --Meridiana solare (talk) 20:14, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No, that arms is a modern invention, i've removed it. The arms of Lorch were used on stamps etc. so could be used.

The flag as well seems dubious, can't find any soruces for it.Sheila1988 (talk) 15:43, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
