"Complex" names

This project was developed, if that's the proper word, by the Germans at a time when this place was part of Nazi Germany. It's puzzling that in this interesting article, the names of the "complexes" all are Polish. It's doubtful that the German builders would have employed Polish names for them. The German Wiki entry doesn't shed any light on this question, though. Sca (talk) 13:41, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

All complexes have German code names but we just don't know them. Documents connected to individual structures of the project are lost or destroyed. Because Riese is now in Poland, Polish names were created to help identify and find them. Les7007 (talk) 14:25, 12 July 2012 (UTC)



  • The single purpose account Les7007 (talk · contribs) who translated this article from the Polish Misplaced Pages in July 2009 won’t let me touch it (if any indication is a blanket revert with a cryptic edit summary which was false anyway) mere two hours after my first attempted improvements to the layout. I have left a message on the article owner’s talk page but no word yet. Therefore I’m listing here the most glaring problems, so as not to be talking to the hand like some human cog in a Terminator movie.
  1. Please be aware that the Misplaced Pages license (CC-by-sa) requires source attribution which looks like this when properly formatted: {{Translated page|pl| Riese}}.
  2. There’s nothing in this article about the known fact that the Nazi German government confiscated the Schloß Fürstenstein castle in 1941 from the aristocratic family of Hochbergs who owned it for over four hundred years. Please explain in the history section of this article why the castle was confiscated in 1941 thus shedding light on the Riese origins.
  3. Please do not mislead the reader (as well as other concerned Wikipedians before me) that the German names of the "complexes" are not known. This is a lie.
    1. Complex Rzeczka is known as Complex Dorfberg
    2. Complex Osówka is known as Complex Säuferhöhen
    3. Complex Książ should read Fürstenstein (or similar)
    4. Complex Włodarz is known as Complex Wolfsberg etcetera.
      Just because you don’t know these names, it doesn’t mean that they don’t exist.
  4. Arbeitslager Riese was a subcamp of Gross-Rosen concentration camp and it did not have subcamps of its own. Please, don't make up things. The so-called subcamps of Arbeitslager Riese were in fact German companies who used forced labour from Gross-Rosen administration including Organisation Todt (Dörnhau), Stollen Wolfsberg und Hausdorf (Erlenbusch) and Stollen Falkenberg (Falkenberg) among others.
  5. This article has multiple issues (obviously), but I don’t need the grief so I'm just going to leave it here. Poeticbent talk 20:03, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
