The North (West) branch of Berklix.org (Munich, Bavaria,
Germany), Some friends now in NRW (=
North Rhine Westphalia), eg Aachen, Cologne/Koeln, Cleves/Kleve, Dahlem
etc.
Why the name North:
- It's simple & short, & people wont get tongues in
a twist, not knowing whether to pronounce in English or
German, initials "NRW"
of a group name that would sound very different in English
& German.
- We are both North & West of Munich,
- North of the Alps,
- South East of Dover England,
- In the West but not North part of Germany,
- The Region name starts North
& continue Rhine Westphalia, a lo..ng mouthful, &
pronouncing NRW
in English & German is very different
- So North is our short easy name for if a newcomer
asks in either language "Are you part of the North
group ?"
PS: & WEST, we can debate over a grill & beer ;-)
Aachen is West most city in NRW
& .de, & was first West
German city liberated in WW2
