...you'd be surprised how many Mark Twain streets, and a couple of
schools, exist in Germany. Twain was very popular here; still is despite
some atrociously bad translations and abridgements of his works.
"Querkopf" is okay for Pudd'nhead, though Querköpfe tend to be more
intelligent ...
There are at least two books i am aware of about Twain in Germany, and i
have done guided tours of the Neckar and Heidelberg with _Tramp Abroad_
in hand myself.

I'll try find out about the Berlin school soon as i have a little more
time on my hands than right now. Promise.

Best wishes,
Wolfgang
