Thanks for the translation, Ron. But shouldn't the header be "Reminders,
three times"?

I found a little note in the back of the booklet:

"Zum Sprachraum
Unsere Mundart gehört zum ostfälischen Sprachgebiet, siehe die Karte. Hameln
liegt im Westen dieses Gebietes, fast an der Grenze. Spracheinflüsse aus dem
Westfälischen, das ostfälische Grundgut der Sprache mit den Einflüssen des
Umlandes und die Eigenart des städtischen Lebens schufen die typische
Hamelner Mundart."

"About the language area
Our idiom belongs to the Eastphalian language area, see the map. Hamelin
lies in the west of this area, almost on the border. Linguistic influences
from Westphalian, the Eastphalian basics of the language together with the
influence of the surrounding countryside and the idiosyncrasies of city life
have formed the typical idiom of Hamelin."

I can post some more examples if you're interested.
