There's a short list at
	http://www.ma.iup.edu/~gstoudt/pronounce.html
Tietze's not there.

I was sure I had a reference to a website which actually sounded the
names for you (though I think it was limited to Polish names?); alas
I cannot find any reference to it.

I've only heard approximations to  TEET-zeh  when pronouncing Tietze's name.
