BTW, it's written Vandenberg, not Vandenburg as in the article.

The Dutch influence goes far!
Perhaps, but `burg` and `berg` have two different meanings in German as well, so perhaps that is where the noise comes from.
Some of the noise is also there in German, cf https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bergfried (the English page has the same name, but does not mention Burgfried). Just an example, could be very well unrelated.
