Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Kroemer family history? The German state of Bavaria is the ancestral home of the Kroemer family. Hereditary surnames began to be used in Germany during the 12th century. Kroemer is an occupational name for a shopkeeper or retail merchandiser. The name Kroemer is derived from the German word "kram," which means "tent" or "trading post."In the medieval era, many different cultural groups lived in the German states. There are thus many regional variations of German surnames from that era. Westphalians spoke Low German, which is similar to modern Dutch. Many German names carry suffixes that identify where they came from. Others have phrases attached that identify something about the original bearer. Other variations in German names resulted from the fact that medieval scribes worked without the aid of any spelling rules. The spelling variations of the name Kroemer include Kramer, Kraemer, Kremer, Krammer, Kraemmer, Kraymer, Kraymmer, Cramer, Cremer, Crammer and many more. First found in Bavaria, where the name came from humble beginnings but gained a significant reputation for its contribution to the emerging medieval society. They later became more prominent as many branches of the same house acquired distant estates, some in foreign countries, always elevating their social status by their great contributions to society.
