Recently I watched the very nice movie "A royal affair", which has a character called "Rantzau". A local church was also build by a "Rantzau" and I wondered, how they are connected. Wikipedia, a PDF, google books and the website seel.info finally reconstructed the links between the two. The internet stays awesome. :)
