His full name is Karl-Heinz Urban. Yep. :) I've never thought of 'Urban' as a German name, and he certainly doesn't pronounce it in a German-like way himself. There's an interview with Peter Jackson in the extras of the FotR DVD where he talks about Karl and pronounces his last name a bit peculiarly; with the stress on the second syllable, and the 'a' as in the word 'man.' But Karl himself always pronounces it the English way, as in 'urban legend.'
