I saw many Attraction - Informations with wrong infomation.
There is no “Bronzestatue eines Punks”. Where do you get that information and how do i edit these?
Those blurbs are pulled from websites for various types of place @wishmasterf they’re not editable by Local Guides. Where it is inappropriate you can send feedback on the place to the Maps team within the App.
Please note that this should have been posted into the How-To topic rather than here in idea exchange.

Hello @wishmasterf ,
Following @PaulPavlinovich explanation, I am going to move this post to the section How-tos on Connect, the place where Local Guides ask questions that need an answer.
Its frustrating here. i wrote a ansswer, after i clicked on the send button i got the information “Page not found.” My whole text is now gone. Thats shit!
Its an idea, because if you take work from authors outside google or local guides you have to respect them and show its not your own work. It is something like stealing! Stop that!
Use the “Feedback” is not a good idea, as you know it is more a illness then a help to send feedback. It is just frustrating to send feedback. Wait moth, or years and only get “we could not check”, or something similar. I do not use feedback inside gmaps because of that.
IS NOT SOLVED!
This is just one class of this sort of information, if you go to a hotel then you’ll see pricing which comes from websites too.
You could certainly post an idea worded something like “Local Guides need to be able to directly report and suggest edits to wrong information on Google Maps including the place descriptive text” @wishmasterf
Generally its ok in most countries to use a small snippet from a source under fair use. I would imagine that an organisation like Google would do their due diligence before doing something like that.
The way forward is to use feedback within the Maps app.
