Brocket Spectre

I think perhaps it's time to move Brocken Spectre to its own article.... Catherine | talk 22:50, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Crazy politics

Should the events described here be added to the article?

Blocksberg

The Blocksberg is not everywhere the same mountain. The Blocksberg is the dance floor of the witches in Walpurgis night. In and around the Harz, the Blocksberg is the Brocken but in other regions, other mountains serve the witches. I don't want to say that witches exist, I only explain that "Blocksberg" is not the name of a specific mountain. There are other Blocksbergs like the Hörselberg in Thuringia, the Kandel in the Black Forest and the Staffelberg in Franconia.--Stanzilla (talk) 14:41, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

what a load of rubbish: i live right here in the Harz mountains and can tell you that the BROCKEN, the BLOCKSBERG, and the BOCKSBERG are 3 different mountains in their own right!

The Blocksberg is located in the close vicinity to the Brocken, on the western side of the former 'Iron curtain' (the Brocken was located on the eastern side), while the Bocksberg lies several km to the west in the 'Nordharz' near the town of Hahnenklee. It actually sports a large american radio antenna from the post-war era, and is talked of now in the planning for an adventure park...

According to this article and the German version of the Brocken, the Blocksberg is an alternative name for the Brocken, albeit there are other hills or mountains that bear the name. I can't find a separate Blocksberg in the Harz. The Bocksberg (Harz) is a separate mountain and has its own article - I can find no evidence that this also an alternative name for the Brocken, so intend to delete it from the lede until further information comes to light. --Bermicourt (talk) 17:28, 13 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: move agreed Kotniski (talk) 14:25, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Brocken → Brocken — ...and move Brocken to Brocken (South Georgia). There is no reason for it to be titled "The" Brocken and it contravenes WP:TITLE. Most European mountains are called "the FOO" in English and "FOO" on Wikipedia (Zugspitze, Wetterstein, Matterhorn, etc.), so there is no reason why this mountain should be different. It is easily the primary over the one in the South Georgia which is named after it. Bermicourt (talk) 06:34, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support – I closed the other move request at Talk:Brocken because it can all be sorted with one request. It appears that the current Brocken article is a duplicate of Brocken, South Georgia, so there is no need to move to your suggested redlink. Instead it would be better to do just the first part of the request i.e. "The Brocken" to "Brocken". Green Giant (talk) 14:17, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support It's not often we place 'The' before a name and it doesn't seem to be needed here.--Labattblueboy (talk) 20:21, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment the edit history for Brocken (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) and Brocken, South Georgia (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) is intertwined. Someone needs to history splice the edits from 2010 on Brocken to the South Georgia article. 76.66.203.138 (talk) 13:46, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. @Green Giant. Thanks and very happy with your changes - I hadn't spotted that there was a Brocken, South Georgia. --Bermicourt (talk) 16:09, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What write you for a shit?

The Brocken is far far far from Oder or Oder valley. At the ground of Brocken is the river Bode, that is the Bode Valley. The Oder is in the near of polish border. The brocken is the highest point of east germany, what was called GDR. I´m from germany!

Whoever you are, you need to check your facts and curb your unnecessary bad language. The Oder referred to here is the river in the Harz - see Oder (Harz) - as opposed to the better known Oder forming part of the German-Polish border. And BTW I think you'll find that the highest mountain in East Germany (GDR) was actually the Fichtelberg (1,215 m), not the Brocken (1,141 m). I'm from England. --Bermicourt (talk) 19:54, 30 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
