 ## 11. Frontend changes
 
 - **`game-api.models.ts`**: `CharacterResponse.level`/`.experience` → `.renown: number`. New `ReputationEntry`/`TurnInResult` interfaces mirroring the API DTOs. `InventoryItem.item.type` (if surfaced) reflects the new `ItemType` values; `requiredLevel` removed if present anywhere in the web model.
-- **Topbar** (`top-bar.component.html`): `Stufe {{ character.level }}` → `Renown {{ character.renown }}`; `data-top-bar-experience` XP block deleted entirely.
+- **Topbar** (`top-bar.component.html`): `Stufe {{ character.level }}` → `Ansehen {{ character.renown }}`; `data-top-bar-experience` XP block deleted entirely. The wrapping span's class is renamed `top-bar__level` → `top-bar__renown` to match.
+
+  **R17 — the German display term for Renown is "Ansehen", not "Renown" and not "Ruf".** Earlier drafts of this line said `Renown`, which contradicted the global constraint that all user-facing copy is German — the working language of this document leaking into copy-locked text. `Ruf` is unavailable: it is the German term this project already uses for the separate per-faction *Reputation* system (see the reputation display's `factionName + ' Ruf'`), and the two systems are deliberately kept distinct. `Ansehen` (standing/prestige) is unclaimed and matches §2.2's definition of Renown as the character's overall significance in the world.
 - **Combat victory screen** (`combat-page.component.html`/`.spec.ts`): `data-reward-experience` block and its three referencing tests deleted (R16); `rewards.silver` block stays.
 - **New `ReputationDisplayComponent`** (`apps/web/src/app/shared/reputation-display/`): standalone component, input `entry: ReputationEntry`, renders faction name, rank label, `current / nextThreshold` (or just current if `nextThreshold` is null, at Esteemed), a progress bar. Built and unit-tested; not wired into any page (R15).
