I disagree. I think everyone will. Just have a look on the page [[Sandwich]] and you will see why: There are TONS of entries that describe various kinds of bread with some kind of topping, since bread is the basic staple food in the Western world, there various kinds, too many to put them all on the "bread" page. There are pages for Swedish, french and [[Open Sandwich]]es, why not one for Butterbrot? Dutch bakers have nothing to do with "Butterbrot" as this page is describing the German variant and not the Dutch one. --[[User:Maximilianh|Maximilianh]] 15:24, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

'''Don't merge'''. Butterbrot is not bread, it's bread with something on it or in it. Therefore, it's a sandwich (albeit open-faced). I'm going to remove the merge notice - six months is plenty of time for it to be there. [[User:Jaksmata|Jaksmata]] 13:49, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Why Japan? Is there anything special about Japan that would make it more butterbread-forein than other countries?? --Maximilianh 08:21, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge.

"Butterbrot" is nothing other than a sandwich, a slice of bread. The fact that you "can put butter on it" doesn't make it any difference. Duden, one of the better German dictionaries, describes it as "a slice of bread covered with butter or margarine". The article itself states that the only difference with a sandwich is in the sourdough that's used. Well, Dutch bakers for example do not even use that. I propose a merge to bread which already has a "germany" section into which it can be integrated.Rex 21:05, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As I'm tracing what "Бутерброд" on a picture indicates, I don't see any difference between sandwich and the butterbrot. Is the article to be merged into Sandwich? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Appletrees (talkcontribs) 14:29, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dutch translation

This article is about the German Butterbrot. We don't need a Dutch translation for a German word in the English-speaking Wikipedia.
