[edit]Question: "hence the coat of arms contain a wheel, the sign of Mainz." Whose coat of arms? Duderstadt's coat of arms? The region's? - IstvanWolf 01:40, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
Answer: It is indeed only the coat of arms of the city of Duderstadt. - Guest 14:20, 02 August 2007 (UTC)
I was told by my Uncle in Goettingen (Gottingen) that the name came from a disagreement between two brothers who had the task of naming the city. The one (younger?) said to his brother "dann nennts du der Stadt" saying that his older brother had to name the city. The older brother replied, 'no way... you just named it' and when asked how, he replied, 'you called it "du der Stadt"' and so that name stuck. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.196.167.62 (talk) 12:55, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
- I heard this a few times in Goettingen in the 80s or 90s as well (as a joke), but the correct etymology is given in the German Wikipedia page.Kdammers (talk) 17:51, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
translation?
[edit]in german, 'stadt' means city. what does 'duder' mean?
is there any meaning behind or reasoning for the name of the city

There is no specific translation of the part 'duder' as it has no real meaning. One could assemble the cities name out of the three german words 'du' 'der' 'stadt', the first meaning 'you', the second meaning 'the' and the latter 'city' or 'town'. There are folk tales beeing told, that the two initial founders of the city (no fact, also within this tale) couldn't decide on a name. After long discussions one of them said to the other 'Gib du der Stadt den Namen!' Translated by meaning: 'You decide on the cities name!' But due to german grammar and with some poetical freedom you could also translate 'Gib Du_der_stadt den Namen!' into 'Call it Du_der_stadt!'
