That's a great story! And it just goes to show how these little things can get blown up, and believed by the gullible. Or the people who don't take the time to do their research ... although I have to admit I've been guilty of believing things that turned out to be false.

The nearest bigger city to me is Fort Wayne, which has a population close to the same as Bielefeld ... but so far as I'm aware, no one has claimed it doesn't exist.
