A German name for Constantinople

Why would he use a German name? He would probably use whatever the Spanish call it.

The whole idea of Charles or Philip taking Constantinople is about as likely as Luxembourg conquering Moscow, though (hyperbole for the sake of drama). Everyone always takes the Ottomans at the absolute peak of their power and tries to have much weaker states destroy it. How would anyone even get to Istanbul? The same logistical problems apply in reverse, except worse, because the Ottomans had a superior logistical train. The amount of military power that would have to be marshaled and taken out of Central and Western Europe while France and Protestant states are around... there's a reason why this not only didn't happen, but it didn't even cross anyone's mind.
