This item is a full personal name composed of given names and surname elements ('von', 'und') so knowing the parts only indicates it is a German name; it does not allow a B1 learner to infer the specific historical identity, role, or biographical meaning (field marshal and president). The referential, encyclopedic meaning depends on world knowledge rather than compositional semantics, so the expression is opaque.
