Résumé :	In an article in "Die Vogelwelt" GATTER posed the theory, that in the area that is now the federal state of Baden-Wuerttemberg in southwestern Germany, the Firecrest bred only very rarely or not at all during the 19th and early 20th centuries. However, an analysis of literature from the same time period, which was not taken into consideration by GATTER, reveals that the species was already found as a breeding bird, particularly at lower elevations, in the first half of the 19th century and in some regions was even more common than the Goldcrest Regulus regulus. It is therefore suggested that GATTER'S theses should be reconsidered in the light of these findings.
