May I ask why you bother to specify the geographical location of the Constitutional Court? I assume you guys don't have several of those. I mean, in general for other countries people just say "constitutional court" and that is it, and it seems to make sense that way. I am curious.

Yes, I can explain that.

I am not a German, but I read German news and German journalists use "in Karlsruhe" as a shortcut for the Constitutional Court. So, in my original post, I just wrote "a challenge in Karlsruhe".

Before posting, I reviewed my comment and said to myself, hmm, people won't know what "in Karlsruhe" means, so I added the name of the Constitutional Court, but didn't think of removing the location.

I suspect a similar process resulted in some fluff in our beloved RFCs :)
