So you can imagine my frustration about the lack of a footnote telling me what Fahlenkamp's source might have been. The bibliography gives me only two books that could be the source, neither of which I had read: a) Carlyle's magnum opus about Fritz, or b), more likely: Alfred Weise: König und Kämmerer - Eine Freundschaft. Berlin 1944.
Time to add a note that I exchanged emails with Fahlenkamp, and he says his source was Wikipedia. (!!!)
Also, I've confirmed that it's not in Carlyle (and you confirmed that Volz didn't know anything about it in the late 1920s), and Wolfgang Buwert was kind enough to confirm that it wasn't in the Weise book either.
I'm reminded that we also a need a write-up of the Buwert essay, your summary and mine, and the Volz review of Richter.

Also, that 1926 -> 1726 typo is still there. ;)
