HTML5 - Section vs. Article

According to HTML5 Doctor, here are some rules of thumb for choosing between <article> and <section>:

  • Would the content would make sense on its own in a feed reader? If so use <article>
  • Is the content related? If so use <section>
  • Finally if there’s no semantic relationship use <div>

With that understanding, it seems to me that with your example, I wouldn’t use article at all, and instead use a bunch of sections. The reason why is that the content in the articles wouldn’t make sense in a feed reader, being that they are only snippets of the complete content. However, they are all related (as far as I can tell, I can’t read german), making section quite appropriate.
