This is the Conversation Forum for Mary of Teck Mary of Teck >> Subject: Where is Teck? Posted Nov 18, 2003 by Sea Change   Posting 1 I've never heard of it. Is it in England, or Germany, or? It would have been nice if this article were edited. Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: Where is Teck? Posted Jan 17, 2004 by ebiweber This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 2 Hello, My name is Eberhardt and I am living in Germany. Today, Teck is a castle in the southwest of Germany, close to Stuttgart. It used to be the domicile of the dukes of Teck in the mid-age. Unfortunately I don't know any exact dates. I found an article on why the name was changed during World War I: 'Because George worried that the British people might extend their loathing for their German enemy to the British royal family (who were then called Saxe-Coburg-Gotha from Queen Victoria's marriage to Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, the Prince Consort), the family name was changed to Windsor. The British people heartily approved of this switch to a purely English name.' Kind regards, Eberhardt Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: Where is Teck?
