history

In 1806 the Hessian noble family Diede zum Fürstenstein went out with Wilhelm Christoph Diede zum Fürstenstein , Lord of Ziegenberg and Langenhayn (* 1732; † December 1, 1807). A branch of the French noble family Le Camus was enfeoffed by the youngest brother of Napoléon, King Jérôme Bonaparte of Westphalia, on December 24, 1807, with the Fürstenstein castle on the Werra, and on April 17, 1812, the rank of count. The diploma was issued on July 12, 1813 for Pierre Alexandre le Camus , royal-westphalia. State Councilor and Minister-State Secretary for Foreign Affairs.

The Prussian recognition and confirmation of the count's status as well as the improvement of the coat of arms took place in Berlin on April 30, 1864 for his two children from his marriage to Adelaide von Hardenberg: Adélaïde Marianne Lysinca Le Camus (* January 10, 1816) and Adolphe Charles Alexandre Le Camus (* 8 March 1818 - May 20, 1895).

The 35-year-old dance teacher Silke Nicole V., who was born in Bavaria and moved to London in 1999, where she acquired British citizenship, went to the British Embassy in Bern to study Silia Valentina Mariella during a stay in Switzerland in 2011 Rename Countess von Fürstenstein (“deed poll”). Under this name, she was issued a passport by the British authorities in 2013. There is no social relationship or kinship between the applicant and a bearer of the name she has chosen. This was possible under British law. After she returned to Germany, she wanted her "self-imposed" new name to be entered here in the registry office. The BGH rejected this request by resolution of November 14, 2018 - XII ZB 292/15 and decided that the surname unilaterally determined by a German-British dual nationality through a private declaration of name change under English law ("deed poll"), also taking into account the The case law of the European Court of Justice on the free movement of persons under Union law cannot be recognized as a legally binding name under German law if it contains freely chosen German-language nobility names.
