It's an old joke - Moenchengladbach changed their spelling to avoid being confused with Muenchen
During my German classes we had to give names of as many cities beginning with "M" as possible - and my teacher didn't count Moenchengladbach because she had been thinking that it was part of Muenchen. I didn't try to prove she wrong.

I'm glad, bach ("bach" is Welsh friendly word for "little man"

I know that a couple wnt to Mainz, but I've no idea about the others. This was too early for the Great Polish (and Romanian) Boot Sale
Unless I'm very much mistaken, this is a real DÜWAG tram. For reasons unknown to me, practically all bi-directional DÜWAGs of the time continued with this style of front originally developed for the four-axle Grossraumwagen, while the uni-directional trams all had the PCC-derived front with the angled windscreen. (There are a handful of exceptions, though: Frankfurt got a few bi-directional ones with the PCC front, although this was only in the 1970s, and Kiel had the only Grossraumwagen with the PCC front.) Also, this photo was not taken in Mönchengladbach (which indeed changed its name from München-Gladbach to avoid confusion), but in Rheydt, which remained independent until 1975, by which time the trams had disappeared.

Ah! Thanks for the info. I can really only pass on what it says on the original print, as I didn't take the photo myself.

Exactly, Rheydt was not yet part of Mönchengladbach at that time.
As far as I know, these DUEWAG GT6 trams went to Aachen and were later sold to Mainz from there. Finally, some ended up in Lille (F). Number 37 was definitely one of the trams that came to Lille.
