Actually... I specifically said "German" as a helpful hint as to which spelling...

Because von is the only way to do it in german. Van is just a translation to other germanic languages. (Dont argue with me, Im in a german class )

While Beethoven was born in Germany, his grandfather was from what is now Belgium, and the name 'van Beethoven' is dutch, not German (Ludwig van Beethoven is Dutch for Ludwig of the family of the Beet Garden). Thus, Germans should technically be spelling his name 'van Beethoven'.



There is a hotel in Berlin called "Hotel Ludwig van Beethoven".

If you do a google search of only German-language sites, you get 1,360,000 German pages for "van Beethoven", but only 282,000 pages for "von Beethoven".

Thus, the German spelling for his name is 'van Beethoven'.

Besides, I SPECIFICALLY said German as a subtle hint to indicate I was looking for the GERMAN spelling... not the Dutch spelling. (And yes, I know about the dutch spelling as well, as well as have personal experience. My german teacher has a last name of Van Welzen, and is Dutch).

And for the more blunt reason, I didnt say I would accept one or the other.
