The result was Speedily deleted as an obvious hoax, and therefore vandalism. An alleged town that was in "south Switzerland" that was home to the "Swiss royal family", but annexed by Germany in the 4th century. (Note to hoaxer: Germany is north of Switzerland.) This was illustrated with a picture of the Perchten, said to be a native Yeti costume. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:16, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Gitteren[edit]

Unable to find any evidence that this place exists or where it is. --Snigbrook ^(talk) 20:06, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - This appears a hoax. I can't find any evidence of this being a place. You'd think if this was where the "Swiss royal family" resided, there would be a ton of information. And in the 4th century, Germany didn't exist as a country and the area known as Switzerland was in fact invaded and occupied by the Roman Empire. --Oakshade (talk) 06:29, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
