Thread: Help reading this word

After five years of German....

1) It's in German Script. It's very hard to read. (Sütterlin - Alphabet im Vergleich zu Kanzleischriften des 17. - 19. Jahrhunderts)

And...

2)I agree with Olivia.

Olivia is in Germany. If anyone could read it she could.

Zwingberg seems correct, my only qualm is that the two "lumps" of the W are inconsistent.

Thanks John!
Well actually I am german ....

That "w" that starts out like an "n" you mean?
It was just getting out of fashion when I learned to write.
Some kept it, some didn't. I think its a remnant of Sütterlin.
The "Z" is a bit odd as well.
The rest is normal script typography.

If you asked me my first guess the first letter would be a capital "F". We were taught traditional cursive and that looks exactly like it. I was gonna guess Ervingberg but then the r's are inconsistant.... but this is okay because I believe in some cases you have the down stroke like a print r (up down up over into next letter), others you just have the over stroke (up over into next letter)

Ausgangsschrift – Wikipedia

Here it is. Its basically the first one on top.

that "w" still bugs me though...
