My name is Manfred Schleßelmann and I started genealogy research about the Schleßelmann family in 2008. This web site contains all what I’ve found so far. I would be very happy if you could support me in the extension of this family tree.The tree starts with Caspar Schlesselmann, who was born 1654 in Groß Meckelsen, North Germany. I found other families with the same name and similar spellings living in North Germany in the middle of the 1500. But the relation is not clear yet.The origin of the name is coming from the village Schleeßel. A very small village not far from Meckelsen located between the rivers Elbe and Weser.  The first part of name “Schlee” is the bush sloe. second part “Sel” or “ßel” means in old German colony (human Settlement). The meaning is therefore the colony within a veldt of sloe.  In Jordebuch from 1694 village was named Schlesel, later Schlesell, Schleßell and now Schleeßel. The increasing internationalization of the name is now often written as Schleessel.  The first Schlesselmann probably got the name because he moved from Schleeßel to somewhere else. He was therefore the "Schleeßelmann" (Man fom Schleeßel). Or in other words, the man who came from the village in the middle of the veldt of sloe.I received from the University of Leipzig a certificate of conformity about our name. It is published on this site. Click on Family Pictures (Familienfotos) and than then open the folder "Familiengutachten". There you will find Foto copies of this certificate. The meaning of Schleeßel itselfs is a bush called sloe (German “Schlehe”). This is the historical tradition and therefore the crest of Reeßumcontains a blossom of a sloe. Scheeßel is a part of the community Reeßum. Conspicuous is, that the letter ‘ß’ appears very often in different designations (Schleeßel, Scheeßel, Reeßum or even Schleßelmann). This has maybe to do with the old language (Lower German "Plattdeutsch") that some people still speak until today in this part of Germany.EnjoyManfred Der komplette Inhalt dieser Homepage steht nur den Mitgliedern zur Verfügung.
