Ask the Austrians. Especially people from Vienna. They know all the subtileties with titles. A friend of mine is professor at the Technical university of Berlin. His wife has a doctor. Their relatives (lived in Vienna) were another professor and his wife (no title). In the restaurant near their shared house in Austria, the wife of the Viennese professor was addressed as "Frau Professor", being the wife of one. The wife of my friend was "Frau Doctor" because she has her own doctor title... My experience with Viennes tells me that Dr. Dipl. Ing. is correct. It serves to distuingish an earned title from an honorary doctor. HTH, Dipl. Chem.
