Early Origins of the Scheurer family

The surname Scheurer was first found in East Prussia, where the name came from humble beginnings but gained a significant reputation for its contribution to the emerging mediaeval society.

Through the acquisition of these estates as well as their important contributions to society, the family successfully elevated their social status.
