Thank you, Biri, for keeping us up-to-date!

I missed your post at the first writing, but saw it today and recognized: These are dang cool names - Trotzky and von Brandenstein-Zeppelin! So, I googled them. And one of the first results was a report about the marriage: https://www.fuldaerzeitung.de/kinzig...-91609126.html
(Sorry, only in German!)

It has a pic of groom, bride and family and a little report.

The bride is named as Xenia von Trotzky, so, probably no relationship to the crazy communist of the Russian Revolution. But she is from Austria - And they have at least no official "von", no name-nobility.

And the von Brandenstein-Zeppelin dude will inherit the castle (rather fortress) Brandenstein-Schlüchtern and the surrounding woodlands from his uncle.

And: Yes, he is a descendent of the famous airship builder!
