> Isn't their name "blaufergnügen" ? Or is it a spelling mistage
because the
"v" in german is often pronounced as an "f"?

Germans pronounce 'v' like an English 'f' and 'w' like an English 'v'.

That's why Vick (of vapour-rub fame) is 'Wick' in Germany - otherwise
it would be slightly embarrassing.

And VW is pronounced 'fau-vey'.
