I would really like to know why they are selling Wümmehof
In another article I read that the only comments Prince Christian wants to make are "No comment" and when answering the question if he would stay in Bremen anyway "I won't say anything, I'll just get in trouble", whatever that means...
Like Seraphine said maybe they really need money. I mean every member of the family still gets a small apanage even if, according to some sources, it isn't enough to live just from the apanage. But what are they making money with? I think the only significant property (in the way significant that they can make money with it) is Burg Hohenzollern and I guess that it is more like a +/- 0-business in the end because it is very expensive to pay all the costs for the maintenannce and the employees. There is a reason why a lot of German royal familys started a trust which their properties belong to.
Another reason could be that they (whoever that is
) think that they don't need Wümmehof anymore. According to the articles the only ones who are still living there are Christian and his wife and according to the TAZ they are the only ones that still live near Bremen. A couple of years ago the staff that manages the properties moved from Wümmehof to Berlin.
I just hope that it won't be too hard for Prince Christian to move out because he spend almost his whole life there
