I speak enough German to embarrass myself over there but I never came across that word. Can't imagine how it is pronounced. I never grasped the relation of F to V in German.
My late wife would have had the answer. Her first language was German.
Her stollen took hours to make but it was worth it.
So rare to find good stollen here -I 've forgotten the last one.
