In Dutch wreed means cruel: een wrede man = a cruel man.
So Prinzessin von Wrede sounds in my ears as "a cruel princess".

:lol:

(The Germans will not have this connotation because cruel is Grausam, a completely different word).

In Swedish Vrede means rage.
There is a Swedish noble family, of German descent, the Barons Wrede af Elimä with branches in Finland and the pre-WWII Baltics that are of no relation to the Princes von Wrede.

Wrede

The title is Prinz und Prinzessin not Fürst or Fürstin; nevertheless traditionally in Germany and Austria the head of a Princely family’s title is Fürst and the rest are Prinz or Prinzessin; in the case of the Wrede family only the eldest may use the tithe of Fürst, but as it isn’t an imperial title I am not completely sure. That’s the reason why they use only Prinz and Prinzessin, it’s a Bavarian title not from the Holy Empire or the Austrian Empire
Thanks to everyone for the very informative answers to my question.

Out of curiosity (although perhaps slightly off topic), does anyone know what are the other examples of families in which all the members are styled Fürst or Fürstin?

Also, a question for clarification: Are all of the Wrede family called Fürst or Fürstin because they received their title from the King of Bavaria rather that from the Holy Roman Emperor? In other words, if I were to learn that a particular family acquired its princely title from a Bavarian king instead of the HRE, would it be safe to assume that all members of that family are styled Fürst? Or could there be other reasons -- for example, that at some point a head of that family decreed that the title of Fürst would apply to all?

Thank you in advance.

Actually in the Wrede Family everyone is Fürst/Fürstin as it is not a Title of Primgenitur like for example Waldburg-Zeil, Waldburg-Wolfegg, Thurn und Taxis etc.
