In the United States, I’d probably name Oregon City, the famous end of the Oregon Trail and the first city founded west of the Rocky Mountains during the pioneer era. Its population is only 37,000.

    What’s more well known around the world, Wacken or Rammstein? Because Wacken is smaller than Ramstein and would be the better answer but my guess is that Rammstein are more known.

      Rammstein is not a town though, Ramstein(-Miesenbach) is.

      I think a good chunk of US american military folks are familiar with Ramstein air base, less so Ramstein-Miesenbach. Internationally I’d imagine even less of either.

      Even plenty Rammstein (band) fans aren’t familiar with the origin of the name, nor the town near the airbase :)

      I’d comfortably take a bet that Wacken rings more bells around the globe.
