"Any ideas why I couldn't find the thread using the standard LEO search features?"

Probably because LEO has been on the fritz for a while now. Some sort of technical problem that has to do with the fact that LEO was moved to new servers. But don't despair, the LEO team are already on it and I'm sure everything will be back to normal in a few weeks.

In the meantime, you can use Google to find LEO threads if you know their title: "Stadt der Bewegung" site:leo.org

eric,

I did the following:
google search for 'dictforum "Stadt der Bewegung"'
click on 'Im Cache' of the very first entry
click on the link (4th entry)
here it goes
Topic:
Die Stadt der Bewegung

Comment:
A friend has written me a note in which he said that Nürnberg has recently been referred to as "die Stadt der Bewegung". I'm not sure he's right, since I can't find any reference to this phrase through Google. Does anyone know?

Also, what does Bewegung refer to in this case? I've checked LEO and I know the variety of meanings, but I don't know which is likely to be meant in this case. Possibly this refers to the Nazi political movement (=Bewegung)?

Thanks.

As far as I know "Hauptstadt der Bewegung" referred to Munich, not Nuremberg. And yes, the movement in question was the Nazi party. Nuremberg was called "Stadt der Reichsparteitage".

@ Norbert Juffa

Does "Stadt der Reichsparteitage" mean "City of the days of the Ruling Government Party" ?

@minu: not exactly.
Wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N[...] ) übersetzt "Reichsparteitag" mit "Nuremberg Rally", oder "literally: national party congress"

"Stadt der Reichsparteitage" wird dann entweder recht hölzern zu
"[Nuremberg, ] City of the Nuremberg Rallies"
oder
"[Nuremberg, ] City of the national party congresses"

Oh! Thanks!
:)

That's an interesting translation, and information about the city of Nuremberg, where I have been, roaming through the magnificiant collections of the Germanische Museum, inside the city palace walls, through saint Martha and Clara's churches, oblivious to this fact!

I'm pasting the URL here, but don't know for sure if it's going to work:

current forum --> go to page 7 (seven) --> entry on 12th july --> 07:02 hrs

The same problem has ocurred to me several times but all concerning entries in the last two weeks.

@HM: You suggestion works perfectly.

@Peter <de>: I can't get your suggestions to work, although you obviously did. I apparently am misunderstanding your directions. In any case, I do now have one way and that works for me.

I notice that when I have the full URL of the original discussion, it works, but when I try to paste it into a LEO message, it's replaced by "earlier discussion no longer available" (though it is available on a direct jump).

Thanks to you both.

Dear eric (new york)

I can see the related discussion now right in the current form page 1!
Can you see it?

I can re-read the thread.
Its re-posted at 11:21 today, 26th july!

eric,

sorry to hear you couldn't get my directions to work for you. Have I been to short-lipped (is this a word, for succinct?)?

The way I was describing usually gets me to retrieve old discussions from the net, that is:
I add the keyword 'dictforum' to my search string (the latter one often enclosed in double quotes to ensure a restricted search).
More often than not, I have to use the cached version of the hit, not the URL itself, for reasons I'm totally unaware of, as was the case here.
The cached page showed your query as the fourth entry, I clicked on it, there I was.

@ Peter <de>

But in this particular case, I knew the origin date of this discussion.
So I simply went through the forum pages, found it out, and gave a follow-up reaction! There it was then, right on the start page one, as a new follow-up entry for the 26th of July!
What say?
:)
But it seems that eric(New York) is finding it hard to locate and read it EVEN now!
:(

Don't be too impatient, minu, each one of us has their affairs which keep them from constantly looking into LEO's.
Lucky you and your steadfast memory, my way to search is suited more for elder people like me ;-)

Thank God!
I thought I had become transparent!
;)

Thanks Peter <de>!
