Period German Names from the Counties of Schaumburg and Hoya in the Duchy of Saxony
Purpose
Every SCA persona needs a name. Access to reliable sources for period names are limited for
most people, though. Not everybody has a public library in their vicinity, and even if there should
be such an institution, it is doubtful that it can always satisfy the specific needs of a person in
search for a SCA name.
For quite a while now, many are using the Internet, where they can find what they are looking for
with relatively little effort. Alas, in many cases the listings and documentation they find are not
useful and should be avoided. A very common source found on the Internet are Baby name sites,
which are mostly compiled without any reference to historical usage of the names, that is without
giving a date and a source where a name was documented in period.
Another trap easy to fall in are genealogical databases, which generally use modernized spellings
of names. Although the intentions behind those websites have to be considered good, they are of
little or no value at all for serious SCA usage.
The standards set by the College of Arms have become more focused on the authentic spelling
and form of names in recent years. The purpose of this documentation is to provide the populace
with a reliable source of authentic German names, here in the form of a database of period
German names from the Counties of Schaumburg and Hoya in the Duchy of Saxony.
This database will be available for the populace at my website www.codex- vulpes.de and
probably also at the Medieval Names Archive website of the Academy of St.Gabriel at
www.panix.com/~mittle/names.
As more books with tax records, church records and inventory lists from Germany become
available, I will be incorporating the new information into the database.
Contents of the Database
The database consists of three parts:
o 15th -16th century German names from the Counties of Schaumburg and Hoya
o 12th -14th century German names from the Counties of Schaumburg and Hoya
o German Place Names from various regions (8th -16th century)
The personal names of the first two lists can be used straightforward to build authentic German
names by combining any first name with any last name/byname.
The list of place names can be used to form a locative byname.
In period Germany, locative bynames were generally used in three ways:
1. The name of the place/town/landmark without any modification, e.g. Cordt Oldendorp
2. The name of the place/town/landmark in adjective form, e.g. Cordt Oldendorper
3. The name of the place/town/landmark with the expression “von”, e.g. Cordt von Oldendorp
All three forms mean that this man Cordt comes from the town of Oldendorp, although form No.2
was more common in southern Germany, and form No.1 was the most common form in the
northern part of Germany.
In the 16th century, the form No.3 was no longer as common as before, except for the nobility.
Because I was born and raised in Fuhlen, which is a village in the former County of Schaumburg,
my interest in this region is very personal. To pair the data with that of the County of Hoya
seemed logical to me, because it is the same general region and both Count ies were very close to
each other in period.

Sources
1) Dienst- und Steueregister der Schaumburgischen Vogtei Fischbeck aus dem 15. bis
17.Jahrhundert, Friedrich Kölling, Verlag C.Bösendahl Rinteln 1970
This is a compilation of inventory lists and tax-records of the Prefecture Fischbeck in the
County of Schaumburg from the 15th century to the 17th century.
The names contained in these lists are given in their original spelling, as they appeared in the
documents. The individuals listed in the records are almost exclusively peasants, mostly serfs
but also some free men. The nobility is only mentioned when a piece of land generated
revenues for them, which had to be shared with the Prefecture.
The original documents are kept in the Niedersächsisches Staatsarchiv Bückeburg (State
Archive of Lower Saxony in Bückeburg) and in the Stiftsarchiv Fischbeck (Archive of the
Seminary of Fischbeck).
The author was a renowned and respected regional historian, who published many books,
articles and essays about the history of the Weserbergland and Schaumburg from the mid
1950’s to the 1970’s.
2) Fuhlen – Beiträge zur Geschichte des Dorfes, Friedrich Kölling und Walter Maack,
Verlag C.Bösendahl Rinteln 1959
This is a description of the history of the village of Fuhlen (where I originally come from).
Fuhlen is situated directly at the River Weser, opposite of the city of Hessisch Oldendorf and
in the middle ages it belonged in parts to the Diocese of Minden, the County of Schaumburg
and the Seminary of Fischbeck.
The book contains several inventory lists and tax records, mostly from the 16th century until
the mid 20th century. The names in the lists are given in the original spelling of the original
documents. The text contains names, sometimes in modernized form, as well as quotes from
the original documents.
Fuhlen was first mentioned in a document in 1013, and it has a church, which dates back to
the early 12th century. Unfortunately, the documents from this period are very scarce and so
the authors concentrate mainly on the recorded history since the 16th century.
Friedrich Kölling was a renowned and respected regional historian, who published many
books, articles and essays about the history of the Weserbergland and Schaumburg from the
mid 1950’s to the 1970’s.
Walter Maack was a journalist for local newspapers. He wrote many articles and books about
the history of the County of Schaumburg, its cities and villages and its people. This earned
him the reputation as the leading historian of the Weserbergland/Schaumburg region.
3) Hess.Oldendorf – 700 Jahre Entwicklung einer niedersächsischen Kleinstadt, Friedrich
Kölling, C.Bösendahl Verlag Rinteln 1956
Similar to No.2, this book describes the history of the city of Hessisch Oldendorf, which in
the middle ages was the eastern most city in the County of Schaumburg.
The city was first mentioned in 1208, but again due to the lack of documents from this period,
the author concentrated mainly on later centuries.

Period German Names from the Counties of Schaumburg and Hoya in the Duchy of Saxony
The names here are contained in the text, alas mostly in modernized form. Only a few names
are given in their original spelling.
The author was a renowned and respected regional historian, who published many books,
articles and essays about the history of the Weserbergland and Schaumburg from the mid
1950’s to the 1970’s.
4) Stadtgeschichte Rinteln, Walter Maack, C.Bösendahl Verlag Rinteln, 1989
This book is a compilation of 114 historical essays about the history of the City of Rinteln, the
author wrote for the local newspaper within a time span of ten years. He researched all his
articles meticulously in the City Archive, where he found court protocols, tax record and
invoices, which gave him the ability to not only tell interesting stories about the life in former
times, but also earned him the reputation as the leading historian of the region.
He mainly gives names in the modernized spelling, but occasionally he also quotes from the
original documents.
In the middle ages, Rinteln was located at the southeastern border of the County of
Schaumburg. It was founded by the Count of Schaumburg in the early 13th century as a border
fortress/city.
5) Drakenburg – Weserburg und Stiftsflecken, Residenz der Grafen von Wölpe, Bernd
Ulrich Hucker, Heimatverein Drakenburg e.V, 2000, ISBN 3-00-006602-0
The book was published by the Heimatverein Drakenburg (Society for the local history of
Drakenburg) as the second volume in a series of books about Drakenburg.
It describes the history of the region around Drakenburg from about 1100 until about 1600,
with special attention to the history of the Castle Drakenburg.
The Author, Prof. Dr. Bernd Ulrich Hucker, is a renowned specialist for medieval history of
the northern part of Germany. A list of his publications can be found at http://www.univechta.de/institute/geschichte/html/hucker.html.
He currently is the head of the Institute of History and Regional Historical Research at the
University in Vechta, Lower Saxony.
The sources used for this book are original medieval manuscripts, which are quoted in its
original form and in a modern translation. The names found in these documents are therefore
given as they appeared originally as well as in their modern forms.
In the middle ages, Drakenburg belonged to the County of Wölpe until 1301, and after that to
the County of Hoya, which was adjacent to the County of Schaumburg.
6) Wappenbuch Rhein-Neckar-Kreis, verlag regionalkultur 1996, ISBN 3-929366-27-4
This book contains all heraldic devices of the settlements/cities/towns/villages of the modern
county ‘Rhein-Neckar-Kreis’ in Southwestern Germany.
Most of the devices originate from historic seals in the middle ages, when those settlements
were founded. The book gives the old medieval name of the settlements, and sometimes has
pictures of the old seals as well.

Period German Names from the Counties of Schaumburg and Hoya in the Duchy of Saxony
Methodology
Only names in the original spelling were incorporated into this database. Basically, with the
exception of source No.1 which lists exclusively only the original spelling, names from the other
sources were only incorporated into the database when they were a) stated in the original context:
For example: “… habben beklaget Hans Lubben dochter, Hans Buddensiek einen thun
upgebraken und twe bunth staken davon gedragen.” (Source No.2, from a court record of a
Gogericht in Lachem, 15.Juli 1555); or b) the name was given as a quote from the original
document.
The main body of information comes from Source No.1 “Dienst- und Steueregister der
Schaumburgischen Vogtei Fischbeck aus dem 15. bis 17.Jahrhundert”. In this book, the tax
records and inventory lists of the Prefecture Fischbeck are printed in their original forms. It
begins with a record from 1432 about the partition of a knightly estate in Zersen and ends with a
record from 1677 about farmland revenues of the Seminary of Fischbeck.
I only considered the records until 1599 (Pachtregister der von Münchhausen/ Inventory of leased
farmland of the Family von Münchhausen) for the database, because the SCA period ends in
1600.
The records in this book list different tax records and inventories for the same villages over a span
of almost 250 years. Due to that, the names found in the book repeat over many years in the
records, because the people of the region did not move but normally lived at the same place for
their whole life. Also, nobody can tell for sure today whether a man “Hinrich Hoinrodt”, who is
mentioned in a record of 1549 in the town of Zersen, is identical with a man of the same name
found in a record of 1558 in the town of Krückeberg. It might be his son or a relative or he might
have had acquired additional land there, for which he started to pay taxes in 1558.
This effectively prevents the common method of listing the first names in order of their
popularity.
It could have been done with the names from the other sources, but in order to keep a
homogeneous appearance throughout the database, I decided not to do that.
Also, the common practice of listing all dates a name was found in a source could not be applied
here for the same reasons as above. Basically, the names from the source No.1 appear regularly
throughout all records and so I opted for the method of only giving the year of the first
appearance. Here again, to keep the database consistent, the same method was applied to the other
sources as well.
Many names appear in different spellings, not only in different years, but sometimes even in the
same record. I grouped all the different spellings of names in the database, where for the first
names the most common/most modern form is printed in bold letters. This was mainly done to
make the database easier to read and to find specific names more easily.
When the latinized form (e.g. Heinricus) was given in the document, I listed it as Heinric(us).
The numbers in the third column of the database denote the source(s) where the particular entry
was found.
The list of Place Names is sorted by modern name to make the search for a specific entry easier.
The various spellings in period are given with the respective dates and the source in separate
columns.

Period German Names from the Counties of Schaumburg and Hoya in the Duchy of Saxony
Observations/Comments
Data of women:
Women are almost always referred to without mentioning their first names. In most of the tax
records of Source No.1, they are only mentioned as uxor (wife) or fruwe/frauwe (wife or woman)
together with other members of the household, like children, parents and servants etc.
Examples:
a) Tyleck Reitbarch, uxor, 1 soen, 1 knecht
(Tyleck Reitbarch, wife, 1 son, 1 servant)
b) Johan Syseck, uxor, 1 soen, 1 dochter, 1 jungen, Alleck Mollers Wedwe
(Johan Syseck, wife, 1 son, 1 daughter, 1 young boy, Alleck Mollers widow)
c) Hanß Meier hat eine Frauwe zur Ehe, seindt Jochim Posten eigen und sitzen mit Johann
Hobein inne
(Hanß Meier is married to a woman, they are the owned by Jochim Posten and they have a
tenant Johann Hobein)
In example b, the woman who is the widow of Alleck Moller is referred to as such, without any
first name. Also, children are almost never mentioned with their names.
Example c is involuntarily funny – that Hanß Meier is married to a woman should be logical
assumption. The scribe probably did not mean to emphasize the fact that it was something out of
the ordinary for a man to marry a woman. The whole record is structured like this, and so we have
to assume, that he just did not recognize that he stated the obvious.
In cases, where women are listed without any connection to a man, such as widows who inherited
their late husbands land and kept on to farm it on their own, they are only referred to as, for
instance, “die Waltematische” (the Waltemate), that is by their husbands last name (with the
German female article “die” in front).
One could come to the conclusion, that the lack of women’s names with the beginning letters N-Z
in the 15th -16th century data is a mistake. But this is consistent with other research, which also
came to the assumption, that, oddly enough, at this time German women’s names concentrated in
the first half of the Alphabet.
In contrast to that, of the few women’s names from the 12th-14th century, three of five begin with
a W. This is of course by no means representative, but it could be another fascinating field for
additional research.
Occupational Bynames
As late as in the 16th century, simple descriptive occupational bynames were still in use. In 1550,
we find “Clawes die Smedt” (Clawes the Smith) in Visbeke, and “Harthmann de scheper”
(Harthmann the Shepherd) in Weipke.
They were also present in the 14th century: 1382 we find “de Hocker” (the Huckster or Merchant)
and “de wewer” (the Weaver) in Rinteln.
Although these kinds of “last names” were not very common, they apparently did exist
throughout the later period.

Differences in spelling
Apparently, no unified style of spelling existed even in the later period. Today, the spelling of our
names are determined on our birth certificate, and we write it down almost every day on official
forms, credit applications and the like.
In period, when a scribe would ask a person for their name, they would normally just tell them
orally instead of writing it down, because the art of writing was only mastered by a small
percentage of the populace.
It is not hard to imagine that with different scribes your name would look differently each time.
In 1550 it was “Hinrich Hoinroith”, two years later in 1552 he became “Hinrick Hoenrodt”. In
1549, it was “Clawes Claweßes”, whereas in 1557 it was written down as “Clauwes Clauwes”.
Even a man of the quill himself, the secretary Alferdinck, who recorded many of the documents
in source No.1, wrote his first name in 1549 “Johann” and in 1552 “Johan”. Another scribe wrote
down his name in 1549 as “Tribolt”, and in 1550 as “Triboltt”.
In a record of 1558, the same scribe even wrote down the names of two brothers as “Johan
Bentsen” and “Bartold Bentsenn” in the same document.
This leads to a variety of different spellings for the same name, depending on the scribe who
wrote them down. Therefore, a “typical” or even “correct” spelling of period German names does
not exist. Every documented variation of a name is a valid alternative.
At the end of the period, however, the names began to appear in a form, which did not change
anymore until today.
For example, the modern spelling of “Buddensiek” is the same as in 1571, the same is true for
“Eickmeier” (1568), “Wellhausen” (1588) and many more.
Dual-use names
There are some names in the database, which were used as both first names and last names alike.
Clauwes Clauwes (1557) is a very graphic example for that. Other dual-use names are Dankmer
and Nolte.
Nobility and locative bynames
Contrary to common belief, a name of the construction “first name - von – locative byname” did
not necessarily denote nobility in period Germany.
The sources contain several examples of locative bynames for non- noble persons; here are just
two examples:
o Cordt von Mandelßlo (1438) – Merchant
o Hinrich von Lude (1561) – Farm Hand/Servant
In the 16th century, when descriptive (der Schmied) and locative bynames (von Oldendorf) had
changed into inherited surnames (Schmidt; Oldendorfer), the “von” names were still in use by the
nobility, but by no means exclusively, as the example above shows.
The process of loosing the “von” in non-noble names continued after the end of our period, and
by the 18th century the “von” in a name was widely regarded as a mark of nobility.
8
Period German Names from the Counties of Schaumburg and Hoya in the Duchy of Saxony
For instance, the noble family of “von Klencke” (modern spelling), who belong to the so-called
Ur-Adel (Old Nobility) - families who can prove direct ancestors before 1350 – adopted the
“von” only in the 18th century. In period, they were known as Clenkoc (1277), Klenkok (1310),
Cleynkoc (1345), Clenkok (1441), Klencken (1446).
The addition of “von” makes no real sense here, other than to mark the name as noble –
“Klencke” is not a place name, but means “gossip” or “he who talks a lot”.
Locative bynames can come not only with a “von” – for example the (noble) family of “von
Drakenburg” (modern spelling) is found with the following spellings:
von Drakenborg (1331), de Drakenburgk (1338), van Drakenborgh (1339), Drakenpurger (1377),
de Drakenborch (1438).
