NP: Bielefeld

[Otto]

I know it like this:

"Und sehen wir uns nicht in dieser Welt
so sehen wir uns in Bielefeld."

I've never been to Bielefeld and the only person I "know" from
Bielefeld is a cabdriver, but only from another internet-forum, so
this is no proof that the town really exists.

At least there's a soccer team that calls itself "Arminia Bielefeld".
