Münchmeyer (family)
Münchmeyer is the name of an old, originally Lower Saxon family, whose documented direct line of lineage began with Heinrich Münchmeyer (around 1654–1728), licensed official and citizen of Einbeck .
family
Even before 1600, a Münchmeyer family lived in Vorwohle near Eimen . From 1647 to 1650 Tobias Münchmeyer was court preacher in the royal seat of Celle and died as a pastor in Diepholz in 1652 . 1691 bearers of the name can be found in Andershausen near Einbeck, as well as his father Heinrich Münchmeyer , who was born in 1654 in Negenborn near Einbeck. He is referred to as the first feudal bearer and citizen in Einbeck.
Descendants of this Lower Saxon family from pastors to superintendents still live in Lower Saxony today. Further family branches can be found all over Germany.
A Hamburg branch split off from this family , in which the merchant Hermann Münchmeyer the Elder. (1815–1909) after a long stay in Haiti, officially became a citizen of Hamburg in 1816 and founded the private bank Münchmeyer & Co. there. This branch is one of the younger Hanseatic families.
At the Ohlsdorf cemetery in Hamburg there is a rondelike grave for members of the Münchmeyer / Schröder families with a central eight-meter-high column at grid square AA 19 (between Waldstrasse and Stiller Weg, east of the Sanne mausoleum )
