Naming Confusion

This mountain is called Hammerspitze by the Austrians in the Kleinwalsertal, but Schüsser by the Germans. The mountain in the background is called Schüsser by the Austrians and Hammerspitze by the Germans, and has as the caption states an elevation of 2259 meters. The previous page, summarizing peaks in the Allgäu, listed the correct elevations for these peaks if you are using the German names, but in that case the above picture should not be listed under Hammerspitze because this is not the German Hammerspitze (2259m).
