Place of Birth

He was born in Korea?? The next sentence mentions Heidelberg in Germany - could anybody please check this ??--Hagen Graebner (talk) 19:22, 12 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Actually, Heilbronn is mentioned, not Heidelberg. “Korea” was a remnant of earlier vandalism, I removed it. --Rosenzweig (talk) 00:54, 13 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Heilbronn or Heilsbronn?

edit

The basis of this article seems to be [1]: A brief history of Palmyra by Ray S. Bowman, past pres(ident) - Leb(anon) Co(unty) Historical Society, excerpted from We Love PALMYRA 225th Anniversary (that would have been 1985).

According to Bowman, Johannes (John) Palm was “born in Heilbronn, in the Electorate of Brandenburg, in the Kingdom of Bavaria, July 15, 1713 […] About the year 1739 he took up residence at Backnag, near Stuttgard, in Wurtemberg […]”

Heilbronn, today a city in Baden-Württemberg with a population of 120,000, is not far away from Backnang and Stuttgart, but the city never belonged to either the Electorate of Brandenburg or the Kingdom of Bavaria. It was a free city until 1802, when it became part of the Kingdom of Württemberg.

Heilsbronn, however, today a town in Bavaria with a population of 9,000, belonged to the Principality of Ansbach, also known as Brandenburg-Ansbach, until the end of 1791, then it belonged to Prussia for 15 years and finally became Bavarian in 1806.

So the description given by Bowman, if not entirely correct, fits Heilsbronn much better than Heilbronn, even if Heilsbronn is a bit further away from Backnang than Heilbronn.

Obviously, there is a mistake here somewhere. But is it in the description, erroneously describing Heilbronn as part of Brandenburg and Bavaria, or in the orthography, erroneously writing Heilsbronn as Heilbronn? --Rosenzweig (talk) 11:59, 13 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Further web searches indicate strongly that Heilsbronn is correct Since no one seems to object, I'll change it. --Rosenzweig (talk) 19:50, 21 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
