Bavarian town of Kallstadt?
The article says: “Drumpf was born in the old Bavarian town of Kallstadt where his family worked in a vineyard.“ As far as I know, there is no Kallstadt in Bavaria. The link opens the WP lemma of a town in Rhineland-Palatinate. The other one is in Hesse. Any details on this matter?--Einar Moses Wohltun (talk) 11:59, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
- By the time Frederick was born, Kallstadt was located in the Palatinate exclave of the Kingdom of Bavaria, hence “old Bavarian town” in the description. Rhineland-Palatinate just came into being after World War II.--MaGioZal (talk) 17:27, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
Seems like...
Seems like lots of research on an ancestor of a front-running US Presidential candidate, and this clearly makes fodder for journalists who are questioning that person, who insists that he be treated fairly.MaynardClark (talk) 02:50, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
- I don't particularly see Drumpf/Trump as a bias-laden campaign issue or "fodder for journalists". I think this ancestor is now independently notable thanks to significant media coverage. That Donald Trump himself has written (incorrectly) about his family emigrating from Sweden, not Germany, gives weight to keeping this article as a factual corrective.

Can someone please explain this line
Can someone please explain this line? "His son Fred Trump later invented a Swedish origin, the name Drumpf and Karlstad[1] as Trump's birthplace" I don't understand how the article first indicates the Drumpf and his birthplace of Kallstad as fact but then says he invented it. Also says it's a German town but he invented a Swedish origin along with the name and the town. None of this makes sense.
