 | | In 1929, Magda Quandt and her student lover stayed here, though the liasion was known by Günther Quandt who had her leave their house in Berlin. |
 | | Günther Quandt, without whom his son Herbert would have been unable to acquire BMW, was born in Pritzwalk, on 28 July, 1881 to Emil Quandt who, along with his father and grandfather, had made fortunes in this area in textiles. |
 | | As Pritzwalk, and Quandt property in Berlin, came under the Russians at the end of WW II, the Quandts moved west - both Günther and Herbert Quandt are buried in the Waldfriedhof in Bad Homburg, north of Frankfurt. |
