To distinguish the town from another town of the same name (the present <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bergisch_Gladbach" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bergisch_Gladbach" rel="nofollow">Bergisch Gladbach</a>), it took the name München-Gladbach in 1888. <span style="color: #ff0000">This spelling could mislead people to think that Gladbach was a borough of <span style="color: #ff0000"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munich" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munich" rel="nofollow">Munich</a></span></span> (<i>München</i> in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_language" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_language" rel="nofollow">German</a>), and consequently the name was changed to Mönchen-Gladbach in 1950 and Mönchengladbach in 1960...&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>===========</p><p>I can&#039;t find a map that shows either place, so I give up.&nbsp; Is the bill from the Gladbach that&#039;s for all practical purposes on the Rhine River?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
