Trivia

The word of Koeltze's ban on dogs on public roads reached the German-speaking communities of the USA. Dogs were not allowed to enter the street even with a muzzle and on a leash. The Wilmington Lokal-Anzeiger , published on May 16, 1914 in Wilmington (Delaware) , states, not without smugness, that the prohibition was legally declared "invalid with kettledrums and trumpets".
