Wikipedia:WikiProject Germany/DYK 2016

This is a collection of DYK articles related to Germany in 2016.

Facts (Did you know ...?) from these articles appeared both on the Main page and on the Portal:Germany in the Did you know section. You can read the fact on the article's discussion page, or - in the context as it appeared on the Main page - in the DYK archive of the day, linked in column 1 of the following table.

Until 2010 DYK articles related to Germany were archived in two separate sets, for the portal in Portal:Germany/Did you know/Archive and for the project in Wikipedia:WikiProject Germany#Did you know? (DYK). Facts from 2011 were archived in Wikipedia:WikiProject Germany/DYK 2011, later facts were archived in DYK 2012, DYK 2013, DYK 2014 and DYK 2015.

If a hook collects more than 5,000 views, please add it to Wikipedia:Did you know/Statistics.
