One "l" (it's the "z" at the end of "Zimmermann" that's doubled).

Actually it's the "n" at the beginning of "Zimmermann" that is doubled.

Oh man... I got to work w/ prz for several years (which is why the "two n's" thing stands out in my memory, since it's a common typo). And yet somehow, I still managed to screw that up...
Actually, the "m" in the middle of "Zimmermann" is also doubled! :)
My name ends in 'man', but Germans _always_ write it with two n's. I should never have taken a job for a German company...
