Sigh. My fingers seem to have a problem with the "ch." Muscle memory isn't only for instrumental musicians; my fingers tend to type in groups without obvious input from my brain (or maybe that's "obviously without input"). I was typing in some genealogical data recently and discovered I can NOT type the name J-A-N-E right the first time, any more than I can type the word H-E-A-T.

Ah yes, if I have my grammar right, this is the feminine genitive case (at the Kleinbasel bridgehead OF THE Middle Rhine Bridge). BTW, Brueckenkopf is a "ck" as well . . .

Thanks, I fixed it. The H for K substitution was a typo, but "Mittleren" was because I don't know German declensions, I imagine. I got it from the back of a postcard: "Helvetia" von Bettina Eichin Symbolfigur am Kleinbasler Brüchenkopf der Mittleren Rheinbrücke.

It does take time, but it must take you longer, because I didn't find any typos. I believe Mittlere Rheinbrücke is spelled without an n, and I know it is a K and not an H. It's good to hear about things from your prospective.
