TY - JOUR A1 - Nübling, Damaris A1 - Kunze, Konrad T1 - New perspectives on Müller, Meyer, Schmidt : computer-based surname geography and the German Surname Atlas Project T2 - Studia Anthroponymica Scandinavica. Tidskrift för nordisk personnamnsforskning N2 - In order to understand the specific structures and features of the German surnames the most important facts about their emergence and history should be outlined and, at the same time, be compared with the Swedish surnames because there are considerable differences (for further details cf. Nubling 1997 a, b). First of all, surnames in Germany emerged rather early, with the first instances occurring in the 11th century in southern Germany; by the 16th century surnames were common all over Germany. Differences are related to geography (from south to north), social class (from the upper to the lower classes) und urban versus rural areas.
