[edit] Balve and Widukind
Any sources? --Weissmann 14:47, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
- The information is from the website of the town itself [1]. Quote: Eines dieser Güter im Besitz des Sachsenherzogs Widukind (um 780 n. Chr.) wird "Ballowa" genannt und weist auf den späteren Namen Balve hin. That text only mentions that there were several farms at the river Hönne, but no further details. Maybe have to check at the local library for a more detailled local history. andy 11:31, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
- I have visited the homepage of Balve but there is no further notice about a Langhaus from Widukind. I think this is a fake. --Weissmann 15:50, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
