Translation request

edit

I removed the German-English translation request as there is no additional information on the German page de:Oskar Minkowski. -- mamut 13:10, 21 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Place of birth

edit

There is a contradiction between the German and the English article. According to the German version Minkowski died in Wiesbaden while the English one states Mecklenburg and the cited source speaks of Fürstenberg an der Havel. Who's right? -- mamut 13:10, 21 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

As referenced in the biography, he died at the Sanatorium Fürstenburg an der Havel, Mecklenburg-Strelitz, Germany. Ekem 16:52, 10 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Polish descent

edit

Can anyone provide a reference for the statement that Oskar Minkowski was "of Polish descent"? His Jewish ancestry is well known and his connection to German culture as well. The same applies for his brother Hermann Minkowski. --Mesenchym (talk) 00:20, 12 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
