Are we sure he is related to the rothschilds? What evidence is there of this? I just spent some time googling about, which admittedly might not lead to the truth on that.

Yes his mother's maiden name is Rothschild in my understanding

I'm wondering if there is evidence of that. I saw somewhere here someone said his mom's name was Marianne. I found:

https://www.holocaustcenter.org/visit/library-archive/oral-history-department/schwab-rothschild-marianne/

This says her children were: "They have two children, Dr. Leslie Schwab and Madeleine Gerrish, and four grandchildren, two from each offspring."

Marianne Rothschild is the mom's maiden name. It's covered up

Yeah I mean she married the guy named Schwab, then had two kids, neither named Klaus. Maybe there is a different Marianne Rothschild though.

The alleged Marianne (Schwab) Rothschild could possibly be a distant cousin. Marianne was born in the same region as Schwab's family. It is written that Eugen Wilhelm Schwab and Erika Epprecht are Schwab's parents, archives, however, tell us that his mother is Emma Gisela Tekelius Schwab (NÉE KILIAN).

Emma is his real biological mother who was Jewish, making Schwab, according to rabbinical law, a Jew. But Schwab never mentions her and praises his non-biological mother, Epprecht, who had relatives who worked in a limited, indirect capacity for the nazi party for a short time.

That M. Schwab is possibly related, marrying into the Rothschild surname, but she is not Klaus' mother and we don't know how related she is distance wise.
