Comment He certainly exists; you may just be having issues with the English transliteration. See for instance this; look for "Christian Oskar" etc. Whether he's notable is a different question. One mention points to Life magazine of May 3, 1954, p. 49 as having a story about the Prince capturing two purse snatchers. I don't have access to the reference to judge whether it can be considered nontrivial coverage. See also a passing mention here, here. He also seems to have played an active role in the management of Durisol Werke GemBH [1]. (Durisol is an organic building material.) Choess (talk) 19:19, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
