Um Louis City? German doesn't differentiate between cities and towns and both should be accepted. @Fenrik: burg does not mean castle. schloss is castle.

Louis is traditionally French... the English spelling is normally Lewis. (and pronounced thus)

There's this Austrian village named with the infamous 4-letter-F-word+er...this quiz reminded me of there (FYI, its German meaning is nothing like the infamous English meaning of the word)

Amendment...the last suffix of the village I mentioned may be -ing, not -er.

CarlG, my online dictionary translates Burg to castle, castle to Burg, Schloss, Kastell. Borough translates to some administrative division thingies. So I'm not convinced.

Burg does indeed mean castle, Schloss is more like palace. I am disappointed my town is not on here (Darmstadt = Intestine Town)
