    Technically it’s Möbius, not Mobius. The ö is not pronounced like o but more like the u in burger or the i in dirt. (This is a general rule for the letter ö, if you want to pronounce it closer to the original German.)

      I’ve always told people to sound momentarily disgusted whenever your see it.

      Köln becomes K-errrh-ln, for example

      It’s also really hard for me to switch between languages at the minute because both my English and German keyboards are active on my phone so as soon as I spell Köln correctly, my keyboard thinks “oh scheiße, es ist Zeit für Deutsch!”
