Is it Place Furstemburg or Furstenburg? (With an "n")

All the paintings use and N. The street sign there, however, has an M.
My dictionary of French streets (n French) has an N. What gives? Is
this a French language thing and the N is drafted like an M? A type on
the street sign and the many postings here?

Gee, usually this group is good at figuring out these mysteries.
Guess, I'll have to try the french groups.

The Paris street is rue de Furstemberg, with a 'm'.

The name comes from a scion of the german Fürstenberg family that ended
abbot of St-Germain-des-Prés. That dates back to the 18th century, when
documents were handwritten and copy errors (n or m ? u with or without
umlaut ?) were not uncommon.

My guess: Furstemberg is the traditional French spelling for German
"Furstenberg". I recall that the Belgian princes styled themselves von
Arenberg in Vienna and princes d'Aremberg in Paris. Perhaps someone on
ATR may elucidate this particularity.

The rule in French is : before P and B, there must be an M.

(The French adore to gallicise everything. "A la mode de chez nous", never otherwise.)

Place de Furstenberg, ..m.. is perhaps a g.., particularly when spoken!
