Upwomanship
A Berlin friend with the usual acerbic local humour once told me that the longest word in the German language translated as:
"Danube-Steamship-Travel-Company-Captain" ... which his wife duly had engraved on his imposing gravestone. When she followed him in her turn, her headstone showed for all to see and ponder what then became German's longest word ...
"Danube-Steamship-Travel-Company-Captain's-Widow".
Status clearly counted in 19th Century Vienna, even into the hereafter.
