Wewelsburg is probably not a very good entry here, since the attention is mostly related to the castle rather than the locality itself. I would consider replacing it, but changing answers on JetPunk resets the answer stats, so I’m leaving it for now as a
I am indeed not familiar with the situation in Germany. I know that Wewelsburg is a district of Büren, but I noticed that their built-up areas are not connected. Additionally, on Wikipedia, the entry for Wewelsburg lists 'Town or city' as Wewelsburg, and there is an entry for Wewelsburg (Ortschaft) as well. Therefore, I listed it as a separate city.
I look forward to hearing more perspectives from people within Germany.
I havent heard of Wewelsburg before that either as I've never been to that area. I think the problem might be that the wikipedia article youre referencing in this quiz is the one about the castle (in german: Burg) "Wewelsburg". The suburb of Büren happens to have the same name and the wikipedia article referencing the locality of Wewelsburg would be "Wewelsburg (Ortschaft)".
Thats why I agree with the commenter above that it shouldnt be included in this quiz because the views for Wewelsburg are mostly because of the castle not the town.
You’re right — I later realized that Wewelsburg was probably a mistake to include. I would normally replace it, but on JetPunk changing an answer would reset the answer stats, and I don’t really want to lose that data for the quiz. So I’ll leave it as a known caveat for now. Thanks for pointing it out!
Thanks for pointing that out. I understand your perspective that Hoffenheim is part of Sinsheim.
However, in German, a stadtteil can mean "Non-contiguous settlements, such as villages, that have their own distinct boundaries and names, even though they are part of a larger administrative unit" as the Wikipedia explanation notes.
While Hoffenheim is administratively part of Sinsheim, but the built-up area is not connected to Sinsheim, it seems to fit the description of a distinct settlement with its own identity. Additionally, websites like citypopulation.de actually list Hoffenheim as an independent settlement, which is why I might have considered it a separate city in the quiz.

Thanks for the clarification, though!
