Another piece of information on "von Fricken" Baron Freiherr von Fricken had no children, except for his niece who married the Count of Zedtwitz . She became (Christiane) Ernestine (Franziska) von, verh. Gräfin von Zedtwitz, a famous pianist in the early 1800. The Zedtwitz Family is from Germany (try Dresden). There were no "von Fricken" families in Asch as of the 1941 address book.
