Remarks

  1. ↑ In 1901 the Castell-Castell and the Castell-Rüdenhausen were raised to the hereditary Bavarian prince status, the respective head of the family of the two lines then carried the first-born title of prince . With Article 109 WRV ( Weimar Constitution of 11 August 1919) was established that the public privileges or disadvantages of birth or of the state should be repealed. The former nobility designations were abolished as titles and have only been part of the family name since then. In the monarchy common firstborn titles such as prince or successor titles such as hereditary count are not part of the name. Since the abolition of the monarchy, the regular and civil family name here has been Count or Countess zu Castell-Castell or Count or Countess zu Castell-Rüdenhausen .
