German Abbreviations used on Wire diagrams?

[l_turn9]

Hi All,
Many thanks for the help with my Headlight Switch Wiring problem - I'm very close to solving it. I'd like to double check the color selections before I make the system Hot - and I'm not sure about some of the abbreviations they use. I have searched a number of old Wire Diagrams and Flow Diagrams but so far nothing. I need gr/ge, sw, rt/ws, gn, and bl, which I would assume is Black, but I'd rather not assume with this 12v stuff. ;-) TIA! BTW, I also tried google but there are so many shades of the colors it makes it difficult!

Not German, but studied in school for 5 years when I was younger. But this is my guess

Gr/ge - Grau/gelb - grey/yellow
Rt/ws - rot/Weiss - red/white
SW - Swartz - black
Bl - Blau - blue
Gn - grün - green

Thanks very much! Your translations are perfect. I found a chrt in a Mercedes Tech book i have which provided a full list of colors and abbreviations used in German wiring diagrams.
