Nord is pretty clear.  It's trying to decide what is "keep"  Norddungeon?

You could hit the archives though :)

I maybe mistaken, but since before 1945, when the town of Stadt des 
KdF-Wagens (est. 1938) was renamed, the only "Wolfsburg" was the Castle 
(est. about 1300), wouldn't Gisela von Wulfsbug have connotations?  Maybe 
not...

Fallersleben was a village in the Middle Ages (it's now a suburb of 
Wolfsburg).  Just a thought.

In any case, think of all the Braunschweiger jokes :)
