Dubious statement.[edit]

"After the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire, Lindau lost its status as an Imperial Free City in 1802. "

This statement makes no grammatical sense in English, because the "Holy Roman Empire" was dissolved in 1806.Lathamibird (talk) 02:14, 27 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Large rewrite and correction of whole article.[edit]

Much of the article read like a tourist brochure rather than a encyclopaedia article and seemed to have been written by a non-English speaker or machine translated so I have corrected the wording and removed some redundant phrases. I have not fact checked these sections and there are a number of ambiguous phrases and unverified claims in the article.

Main issues resolved by this edit:

removed superlatives
improved grammar
Section on "Lindauer" corrected and referenced — Preceding unsigned comment added by Trevmo (talk • contribs) 05:31, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

canting arms[edit]

The coat of arms of Lindau town is a linden tree, referring to the supposed origin of the town's name (Linde means linden tree in German).

Canting arms often merely pun, rather than pointing to a supposed etymology. Can one be sure which this is? I would sidestep the question by dropping the back half of the sentence:

The coat of arms of Lindau town is a linden tree (German Linde).
