I don't mind if you like the translation, but for a professional translator it's absolutely horrible. I had to read the German version in order to understand the supposed translation... It even "translated" the name of the village putting CREDIT instead of Borg... :-))) English being my third language normally I translate only FROM english and not to english, however the sense would be better in this way : Subject : History of Borg Today I want to tell something about the history of Borg. We have a chronicle of Borg which was written by a teacher. It is the oly book talking about the old history of Borg. BORG - where comes the name from? In the old registry book of the minister of Dahlem (1853-1872) it is written that the place got its name after the name of a man who wass called "Borger". This man was the first one to settle down in the place. In 1832 there was still a house called "Bogerhaus" (house of Borger). On this place was built the new school in 1832. In the course of time, the form of the name has not always been the same. A very old form is "Bourich(e)". In a document of 1718 it is written "Borrig". In the area of the actual Borg there has already been in the time of the Romans a kind of "Strassenvicus" (meanwhile it has been excavated - more on this in another report) In the 14th century Borg belonged to the duchy of Luxemburg and thus to Remich. Through mariages and heritages between the reigning houses there has often been a change of the proprietors. Thus Borg became 1443 - to Burgundy 1555 - spanish 1714 - austrian Before 1430 the lords of Sierck (today France) have also been the lords of Borg. I don't have the time now to finish, a little later...

We have a chronicle of credit which was written by a teacher. The single book is reported on the ancient history of credit. CREDIT - Where from comes the name? In the old stock book the stock book of the ministers Dahlem (1853-1872) notes that the place has got his(its) name after the name of a man(husband), the "Borger" geheifßen has; this man(husband) has let himself down sharp first in the Piatz. Still in 1832 a house has been in the place, the "credit house" was named. On this place the new schoolhouse was built in 1832. In the course of the times times the name also did not have the same form. A very old one is " Bourich (e) " in a document of 1718 it is written to "Borrig". In the 14th century Borg belonged to the duchy of Luxemburg and thus to Remich. Through mariages and heritages between the reigning houses there has often been a change of the proprietors.
