Talk:Ernst Thälmann Island

Wouldn't it Be Part of Germany anyway?

Why does Germany need to make a claim for the island? Wouldn't the incorporation of the DDR into the Federal Republic bring the island in with it? --Daniel C. Boyer 19:12, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

The GDR did not join as a whole nor has there been a formal union between two states. Six reestablished federal states (Brandenburg, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, Thuringia, Mecklenburg-West Pommerania, and reunified Berlin) joined the Federal Republic in accordance with the Grundgesetz (Basic Law (constitution)) which then was extended to include them. Germany's (Federal Republic of Germany, to be precise) constitution states now that there are no other parts of Germany, which existed outside of the unified territory, that had not acceded. Thus, Ernst-Thälmann-island can not be part of Germany. 86.136.9.60 20:58, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Precisely. Ernst-Thälmann-Island is can not be part of the Federal Republic of Germany. If it ever was part of the GDR, it is now the only part of the GDR left.195.128.250.88 (talk) 21:51, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Otherwise the respective island might just be administratively integrated into one of the other 16 states to be conform with the constitution/Grundgesetz since then there still wouldn't be any other parts of Germany beside the 16 states.--BECK's 17:33, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

"According to internet rumours"

This innuendo that the island was given to the GDR, or have an unclear status, is not encyclopaedic. Internet rumours are not verifiable or reliable references. It should be removed. --Duncan (talk) 20:17, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Exactly. I removed it.--richarddd (talk) 14:34, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Molossian conflict

I noticed that the information I've recently re-added about Molossia using this island to justify an ongoing war with East Germany has been removed several times by people who said they had no tolerance for silly stuff like that on a Wikipedia article. Therefore I have to ask, is there any actual Wikipedia rule or guideline which implies that the Molossia section genuinely shouldn't be there? --122.106.61.112 (talk) 23:24, 26 October 2018 (UTC)

Personally, I believe the republic of molasses is real and it has the declared war against The Underground Alt is needed (talk) 02:24, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

Property of East Germany

This island is legitimately the last remaining part of East Germany. The Internet has gained sentience and I am its chosen representative (talk) 17:02, 29 July 2020 (UTC)

No, it is not.--Darwinek (talk) 00:47, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

Regarding the present war with the Republic of Molossia

A few years ago I was doing some deep research into Molossia's history. From my recollection, Molossia was founded in 1977 and was already in a state of war with East Germany prior to German Reunification in 1990.

The war was considered over by the Molossian War Office at that time; it was only later when the government realized that the island was still technically in East German hands.

As such, I submit that the article should be amended to reflect the fact that the war had been ongoing prior to German Reunification. However, I am concerned that the primary source of the Molossia webpage might be considered unscholarly to some.

The Underground is real

The underground is a small island station that most people do not know about it we are trying to get people to recognize it Alt is needed (talk) 02:23, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not the place to get things recognized. ... discospinster _talk 02:35, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
