His grandfather was a Fleming (Lodewijk van Beethoven) That's why there's a Dutch Van instead of a German Von.

What challanges did Ludwig van Beethoven face?
When Ludwig van Beethoven was quite young, his mother died and he was forced to take care of his two younger brothers, since his father was an alcoholic. The unfortunate timing of the death of his mother prevented Ludwig from studying with Mozart during his time in Vienna, and he was forced to return. Then, in his late-twenties, Ludwig began to lose his hearing. Which then caused him to converse less and less, making him into a bit of a hermit. At one point, Ludwig considered suicide, on account of his deafness. There is one well-accounted story of the premier of his Ninth Symphony, where the audience gave a "tumultuous applause". Unfortunately, Beethoven was unable to hear anything, and so he wept. Beethoven was also confronted with the problem of his position in society. In one case, he met a young countess by the name of Julie Guicciardi, who he loved, but couldn't possibly dream of marrying her due to the class difference. Ludwig's health also declines noticeably at points during his life when he has romantic problems, as in the one described in the previous paragraph. So it's likely that his health problems were caused by stress.
Is German a difficult language to learn?
Hello! When I sterted the German language, the only thing I found difficult was rolling my "R". Many words in the German language are similar to words in the English language since both English and German are Germanic languages, meaning that they are related. I find German slightly similar to Swedish, Finnish and Norwegian. I can also recognise words in Dutch, as both Dutch and German are similar languages.
Why did Beethoven's father die?
It is most likely that Johann Beethoven died of alcohol poisoning, since he had an unhealthy addiction to drinking. Johann was an unpleasant man; he was cruel to his son, and made him play piano late at night (or early in the morning, you might say). Johann had seven children with his wife, but only three survived, with Ludwig Beethoven being the oldest. It's not really known why Johann Beethoven died, but the most possible assumption would be alcohol poisoning to the liver, or old age.

What year did Ludwig van Beethoven become composer of beethoven's fifth?
Beethoven wrote his fifth symphony in C minor (Opus 67) in 1809. It became popular since for two principal reasons.

Moreover, Beethoven introduced the piccolo flute, trombones and double-bassoon to the concert orchestra in this work for the first time in music history.

What is difference between dutch and deustch?
Dutch and German are not mutually intelligible, due to various sound changes that occurred more than 1600 years ago. Both languages have experienced multiple of these changes, though the changes that occurred in German are far more extreme than those in Dutch. In terms of phonology, German is closer to English than it is to Dutch. While Dutch, on the other hand, is grammatically more similar to English than German is.
