Württemberg is an area in southern Germany. Although a member of the German Empire, it also remained a Königreich (kingdom) through 1918. Official documents submitted from Württemberg during our time period sometimes describe the filer as a subject of the King of Württemberg.
(The kingdom eventually merged with neighboring Baden and Hohenzollern to form the federal state of Baden-Württemberg.)
Württemberg contains Stuttgart, home of Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft, and Friedrichshafen, home of Luftschiffbau Zeppelin—both companies producing icons of German industrialization.[1]

"By 1900, the metal and machine-building industries had emerged as an important pillar of the economy, providing grounds for Wuerttemberg's renown as a producer of quality goods. Relying on a well-educated work force for success rather than on cheap and copious supplies of raw materials, the region developed a core of high-performance industries. By the twentieth century, Graf Zeppelin's airships, Daimler's Mercedes cars, and Voith's turbines enjoyed worldwide fame."
