Pyl (family)
The Pyl are a widespread family of academics in Western Pomerania who have produced numerous Protestant pastors , lawyers and doctors since the 17th century and for whom the city of Stralsund , later also the city of Greifswald, was an important center of life.
In 1410 a Berthold Pyl who probably immigrated from the Netherlands was granted citizenship in Stralsund. Berthold's son Paul became a businessman in Stralsund. His son Lucas, born in 1568, was the progenitor of all other prominent representatives of the Pyl family in Western Pomerania.
