He is told to have attended the same boarding school as Carl Gustav, but Carl Gustav went in SSHL and he in Lundsberg. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.215.15.154 (talk) 15:40, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
Name
editHello, I doubt about this name. His name should be "Heinrich Ruzzo Reuß Prinz von Plauen". His surname is "Prinz Reuß von Plauen" (if I understand the article well). He was no "Prince", as such a thing does not exist in Germany anymore, besides in the private circles of former nobility. Ziko (talk) 16:59, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
- I see on de.wp now: Heinrich Ruzzo Prinz Reuß von Plauen (1950-1999). Ziko (talk) 17:04, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
- Yep, look it up his name is Heinrich Ruzzo. Princes and kings do not exist in Germany, Switzerland or Italy. --91.54.2.1 (talk) 00:24, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
They don't, but most of them continue to use their titles privately, so we probably should follow suit when it comes to naming. Pktlaurence (talk) 21:30, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
- No, we should obviously not use fake titles just because the people in question use fake titles. --JBL (talk) 21:51, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
