Title of this category[edit]

In English and American usage, "establishment" doesn't mean "something that is established". It can only refer to a building or institution, but as used in both the UK and the US it is an old-fashioned term for a shop or bar. I would suggest the title of this category, and its constituent categories, needs changing to German institutions and awards of the 20th century. Robocon1 (talk) 09:49, 22 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't agree. buildings aren't established, they are completed. Other than that, "establishment" can refer to a whole lot of things. For the purpose to organize and sort organizations by date of establishment, this all works fine for me: Think of it as "Established [anno] XXXX". --109.45.2.147 (talk) 22:10, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Establishments in East and West Germany[edit]

Both countries only existed for a couple of decades, that is to say from the 1940s to the 1990s. Which is clearly within the 20th century only. So, I suppose they both don't need the "Establishments in East Germany by century‎" or "Establishments in West Germany by century‎"? Or maybe keep those two ("20th-century establishments in"), have the two Germanys only here and remove them from "Establishments in Germany"? --109.45.2.147 (talk) 22:02, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
