Hello,

I'm looking to find out how Reisenweber's was pronounced in the 1920s (or today, if the pronunciation would be the same.) This is for a book narration and we want to have the correct pronunciation, if possible. Thank you for any help.

Based on my dim memory of 5th grade German...I'd pronounce it "Ryz-en-vaybers"

I wouldn't put too much money on that being correct tho!

I thought it was probably something like that. Thank you for your help.
