Former royal mistress wins pension!
August 2, 1927
The German Reich's Supreme Court in Berlin has made a decision in the case of Countess Matzenau, the mistress of the late Grand Duke Adolf Friedrich V of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. The court has decided that the House of Mecklenburg-Strelitz "will be obliged to pay" the countess a pension of 6000 ($1,500) marks a year.
The Supreme Court's decision was handed down after lower courts "had to refused to allow" the Countess's original demands of "a large sum of money and a pension amounting to 50,000 marks yearly."
