That reminds me of a girlfriend I had when I was young and reckless (as opposed to just reckless now.) She had a husband, but he didn’t mind.

When I called her “country home,” someone always answered:”Fürstlich Fürstenbergsche Forstverwaltung.”

I asked: “Fürstin home?”

He harrumphed and got her.

Karl Theodor Maria Nikolaus Johann Jacob Philipp Franz Joseph Sylvester von und zu Guttenberg

“von” and “zu” are both titels of nobility. All in all there are:
von; zu; von und zu; vom; zum; vom und zum; von der

All of them basically mean “from”.

In 1919, nobility lost all privileges, so their titles were made permanent part of their name.

The difference between “von/vom” and “zu/zum” stems from the fact that over the ages, families might change location.
Noble families that use “von und zu” were still in posession of the location from which they derrived their name (usually a medieval castle) in 1919.

So if you “only” have a “von”, you had either lost your original territory by 1919, or you’re “new nobility” meaning that your family never had any territory to begin with.

If you only have a “zu” then this usually indicates that your family still owned their territory in 1919, but had lost reign over it after the Napoleonic wars.

The Germans may just do another ‘Borgward’ and get rid of Opel as excess to requirements.

There were surely back-room machinations in 1960-1961 when Borgward auto was cut off at the ankles (neck, actually).

Not forgetting that one of Borgward’s small car brands had been #4 in auto sales in West Germany as recently as 1958 (in a market with 10-12 players).

Little wonder Mitsubishi is being looked at by some of the potential Saturn buyers, as a supplier for autos…

Vauxhall and all of the British jobs lost will merely be collateral damage of little consequence to the Germans.
