Brenninkmeyer, Langemeyer, Tassemeier

Beschreibung

Estate and surnames ending in -meier are particularly common in Westphalia, especially in the area that extends from the Lipperland to the Tecklenburger Land. So why were more and more names being formed with the -meier ending starting in the late Middle Ages, and what are the meanings and / or origins of the countless prefixes? Six speakers addressed these issues before an audience of around 120 people at a symposium held on 16 November 2018 at the Draiflessen Collection in Mettingen, Germany. It is the findings of this symposium that are being presented in this publication.
