Walking from Memmelsdorf to Merkendorf?

No, it is really erlangeRnick. But...now I see the problem. it is yahoo.DE, not yahoo.com. Please try again. Why I chose this name has to do with the peculiar German grammar. When "Erlangen" is used as an adjective for a masculine noun, it becomes "Erlanger". (In theory it should be "Erlangener"; I don't understand why an exception is made for this particular case.)
