The article about [[Lutefisk]] claims: "Lutefisk (prounounced loo-te-fisk) is a well-known food of Norway and Sweden (prounounced loo-ta-fisk)which consists of white fish (normally Cod) soaked in lye as a preservative, then dried until it hardens. It is edible after multiple rinsings of water to remove the otherwise poisonous lye, and has a jelly-like consistency after washing."

This is actually wrong. The fish is dried first, [[Stockfish]], and then soaked in lye or another base (like birch ash). After this it is rinsed in water. And another thing; it tastes delicious :)
'''Stollberg''' is a district in [[Saxony]], [[Germany]]. It is bounded by (from the north and clockwise) the district-free city [[Chemnitz]], and the districts [[Mittlerer Erzgebirgskreis]], [[Annaberg]], [[Aue-Schwarzenberg]], [[Zwickauer Land]] and [[Chemnitzer Land]].
== History ==
The district dates back to the ''Amtshauptmannschaft Stollberg'', which was established in [[1910]]. In [[1939]] it was renamed to ''Landkreis''. [[1950]] was district was dissolved and the municipalities were assigned to the neighboring districts Aue, Chemnitz and Zwickau. However two years later in another reform the district was recreated, only with a slightly different layout. In the communal reform of [[1994]] the district was enlarged by some municipalities from the district Chemnitz, and the city Zwönitz from the district Aue.
== Geography ==
The district is located on the northwestern slope of the [[Ore Mountains]].
==Partnerships==
Since 1990 the district has a partnership with the district [[Fuerth (district)|Fürth]] in [[Bavaria]].
== Coat of arms ==
<table><TR valign=top><TD>[[image:de stollberg coat.png|Coat of arms]]</TD><TD>
The left half of the coat of arms show the symbol of the Counts of Schönberg - the county of Schönberg covered most of the area of the district. To the right is the imperial eagle symbolizing the Pleissenland, an imperial estate. The colours of the right side are also identical with those of Meissen, as another part of the district historically belonged to the County of Meissen.
