what?? burgermaster???!!! that sounds so Americanised. It sounds like like a good cook at MacDonalds.
I know my German is pretty poor, but I thought it was burgermeister was the proper pronunciation/spelling.

Um ... no: Bürgermeister would be the German version - the umlaut changes the sound of the letter.

For English, it's BURGOMASTER[^]

Agree, seeing that I was born in Germany, my German should be so much better.
Interestingly your search included BurgerMaster[^]

As a totally useless fact, they have to call themselves Hungry Jack's here (name was already trademarked by a takeaway food shop in Adelaide).

I was expecting a hole in the ground. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat

I'm gonna be "that guy":
Christopher Tolkien has more money than his father ever had. His estate got a fortune from the movies alone.
I don't see why he needs my money to "save" a house that's bigger than anything I would ever be able to afford in my lifetime.

Is he involved?

Seeing that he died last January (I just looked it up), I'd say no.
But if his estate isn't involved (he's still got grandchildren)...and they're not...then you have to ask yourself why. $omeone is $melling an opportunity.

He is not involved in this project. Nor is the Tolkien Estate.

I was going to be "that guy", but you beat me to it 
Next to Tolkien's family, who's always been very protective of his work, if I'm not mistaken, the actors alone could buy the estate ten times over and not even miss the money.
I also really don't understand why they're asking for our money

I'm buying a mug anyway.

Meh, the works of Tolkien are both limited and literarily poor. 99% of positive sentiment toward his work is really just nostalgia for the movies of Peter Jackson.

Being one of those who has read the three books in the trilogy, plus The Hobbit, I thought they were much better than the film.
Although it's a long ponderous read, but yes I would not class it as literature like the works of say Dickens, Elliot or a more modern writers like Kazuo Ishiguro.

Although I thought that two of Kazuo Ishiguro's books that were made into films were fairly well accomplished.

FWIW, I saw the movies long before I read the books. I did enjoy the books thoroughly, but I don't think there's any way I would've read them had it not been for the movies.
And I fully realize making such a statement is horrifying to the Tolkien purists. I'll remain polite and just call them...a special bunch.

maybe if you were born in 1990, that could be true.
turns out, though, that the books are older than Jackson himself. and generations of people had already read and enjoyed them long before Jackson got anywhere near making those movies.

Before the movies a small number of people enjoyed the books for the books. Since the movies a large number of people now like the work, and of that new body of people 99% really only like the movies.
