The last one is the right one - Wuerttemberg - . On 11 May 1997,
Juergen Schweizer declared: "Before 1869 Wuerttemberg (written in german:
W and then an u with two points on top and then rttemberg) was an
independent kingdom and from this time it was part of the prussian empire
with the name Germany. Today it is a political country in Germany (like a
state in the USA) connected with Badeb. The name is Baden-Wuerttemberg. In
former centuries it was written m"Wirtemberg". The capital is Stuttgart
(home of Porsche snd Mercedes)."
best regards
