<span class="mw-page-title-main">Walhalla (memorial)</span> Neo-classical memorial in Donaustauf, Bavaria

The Walhalla is a hall of fame that honours laudable and distinguished people in German history – "politicians, sovereigns, scientists and artists of the German tongue"; thus the celebrities honoured are drawn from Greater Germany, a wider area than today's Germany, and even as far away as Britain in the case of several Anglo-Saxon figures. The hall is a neo-classical building above the Danube River, in Donaustauf, east of Regensburg in Bavaria, the exterior modelled on the Parthenon in Athens.

Andreas is a name usually given to males in Armenia, Austria, Cyprus, Denmark, Eritrea, Estonia, Ethiopia, Finland, Flanders, Germany, Greece, Indonesia, the Netherlands, Norway, Romania, Sweden and Switzerland.

Franciscus is a Latin given name, originally an epithet meaning "the Frank, the Frenchman". It was applied to Saint Francis of Assisi (1181/82–1226). Francis had been baptized Giovanni (John); his father was Italian and his mother Provençale ; his father was on business in France when he was born, and when he returned to Assisi, he began to call his son by the nickname Francesco, in the opinion of G. K. Chesterton possibly because out of a general enthusiasm for all things French, or because of his commercial success in France. After the canonization of Saint Francis of Assisi in 1228, the custom of naming children after saints led to the popularization of Franciscus as a given name. In the vernaculars of western Europe, the name diversified into the forms Francesco (Italian), Francisco, Francesc (Catalan), François, Franz ; besides Frans, the Latin form remains commonly given in Dutch.
