Bonus cheese question (with your permission, Pal)

Yup Ulm the tallest church and St Peters by far the biggest.
Not sure of answer to Bonus Question-I'd have guessed Ementhal for no good reason but would say hetismij knows her cheeses.

Largest church is Saint Peter in Rome I would venture.
Notre dame in the top 3 and Yammaoukro>
Yammaoukro - is that in Belgium?
NDame not even close.
2nd largest is in Spain- 3rd largest in Italy

1. With or without S-Bahn and metro passengers?
with or without tram passengers (the tramway of Karsruhe for example uses railway tracks)?
Zurich (26 tracks) has about half a million daily passengers changing trains (and a lot of others remaining in transiting trains), but I wouldn't consider it as a big station. All train changes can easily be done in les than 10 minutes.
6. There are no peaks reaching at least 4000 metres east of Brenner. The highest one's are Grossglockner (about 3800m), Grossvenediger (about 3700m), Wiesbachhorn (about 3500m).

Yes#6 is Grossglockner at 3,798 m.
1- Zurich is # 5
I realize that there are too many hard to measure factors for that type of question.
#1 Paris-Nord 207.5 million passengers
#2 Hamburg Hbf 175
#3 Frankfurt Bhf 164
#4 Rome Termini 150
#5 Zurich Hbf 144.5
