Need a good German name for an ATL Pittsburgh

Hey guys! I didn't know where to put it, but as it requires a very remote POD, I put it here.

Some of you may have noticed that I made Max bait on a self-made Choas TL story. But the problem is... Max didn't provide enough German city names for his German Atlantis in OTL Northern US.

What should I take caution of when I name a German city at the site of Pittsburgh? Which geographical or vegetative peculiarities abound the area of Pittsburgh that could find its way into a German city name? Or what would you do if you tried to be at least a bit more creative than just renaming Detroit into Wolfsburg as Max did?

When is the POD that leads to this? If it's 18th century, what about Düquesneburg?

What is the nation that creates it? Might want to go with the rivers as a feature. If they conquer it and re-name it something with industry perhaps? I need more info.

There're different way to do, but you can just put -burg, -berg or -stadt on some name example Wilhelmsstadt, -hagen can also be used, but if I remember correctly it was mostly used by Low Germans, or you can put Neu on some German towns name example Neuhamburg.
