The history of the last name Haggenmiller

The surname Haggenmiller has its origins in Germany, first appearing in records from the 16th century. It is believed to be derived from the German words "Haggen" meaning hedgehog and "Müller" meaning miller. This suggests the name may have originally referred to someone who worked at a mill near a hedgehog-inhabited area.

One of the earliest known records of the Haggenmiller name comes from a 1583 baptismal record in the town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber, in present-day Bavaria. Over the following centuries, variations in spelling emerged, such as Haggenmüller, Hägenmiller, and Heggenmiller.

In the 17th century, the name appears in several German records, including a 1652 marriage record from the town of Berngau, and a 1674 tax record from the village of Schönfeld. During this period, the name was primarily concentrated in southern Germany, particularly in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg.

One notable early bearer of the Haggenmiller name was Johann Haggenmiller, born in 1697 in the town of Öhringen, in present-day Baden-Württemberg. He was a respected local farmer and landowner.

As the Haggenmiller family spread throughout Germany in the 18th and 19th centuries, a few individuals rose to prominence. These include Friedrich Haggenmiller (1785-1864), a renowned clock maker from the town of Triberg in the Black Forest region, and Katharina Haggenmiller (1828-1909), a prominent philanthropist and benefactor of several churches in the city of Stuttgart.

In the late 19th century, some Haggenmillers began emigrating to other parts of the world, including the United States and Canada. One of the earliest known Haggenmillers in North America was Johann Haggenmiller (1842-1921), who settled in Wisconsin in 1867.

Another notable bearer of the name was Karl Haggenmiller (1876-1964), a German-born engineer who played a key role in the construction of several major bridges in the United States, including the Brooklyn Bridge and the Golden Gate Bridge.
