The name's "Ballin", not "Ballen"...

There seems to be some minor redundancy in this article, Albert kills himself twice in the last couple of paragraphs. I have marked it to come back and edit when I have a half hour or so, least I can do for a historic namesake wee paddy 20:49, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ballin family

Following the death of Albert Ballin did his family continue to manage any part of the company? According to one report Albert had a direct line to the Kaiser, what was the significance of this? What became of the Ballin family? When did he first meet the Kaiser? Were any of the Ballin family included in the Royal Court? One report suggests that the Empress was hostile to Albert, was this for any particular reason? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Celcom (talk • contribs) 14:13, 16 December 2006 (UTC).
