Hi Tony,
I found a note on a German website, saying that the Thoren in the song is the Polish, from 1793 to 1919 Prussian city Torun (German name: Thorn), so probably the Fürst (=prince or ruler) von (=of) Thoren is maybe only a semi-fictious person, as the King of Prussia would be if you don't name a concrete year.
Kind regards Marc
