The sixth generation

Countess Ottilie and Count Alexander von Faber-Castell

Lothar von Faber's oldest granddaughter Ottilie marries Count Alexander zu Castell-RĂ¼denhausen in 1898.

A new family crest: Faber-Castell

Lothar von Faber stipulated that the name "Faber" must be retained if the heiress to the company were to marry. When Baroness Ottilie marries Count Alexander zu Castell-Rüdenhausen, the new family name therefore becomes Count and Countess von Faber-Castell.
