Illustre Luxuswagenbesitzer. Die Baronin :"In 1909, she is listed in the "Deutsches Automobil-Adreßbuch" (German Automobile Address Book) as owning a luxury car (denoted as "Lxw" for Luxuswagen). At the time, she resided in Berlin but was temporarily staying in Rüsselsheim (in the Province of Starkenburg, part of the Grand Duchy of Hesse). Her license plate was in the "V S" series (e.g., V S 671). This places her among the elite early adopters of automobiles, as car ownership was a luxury reserved for nobility, professionals, and the wealthy, often subject to high taxes."
