The differences in stress placement are due to the inherent rhythmic patterns of the words and the weight of the syllables. "publikumsuksess" follows a pattern where the root and suffix are relatively light, leading to stress on the initial prefix-derived syllable.

Division Rules Applied:

1. Onset Maximization: Attempt to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of a syllable.
2. Vowel-Consonant Division: Syllables are typically divided after vowels.

Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations: Some speakers might slightly reduce the vowels in unstressed syllables, but this doesn't significantly alter the syllable division.
