Hiler. So there's that.

Alright then, let's hijack this thread into a weird or cool German ancenstry surname thread.
My Grandma's maiden name was Leider, which seriously translates to:
Leider adv Unfortunately

I went to school with a friend whose last name was Ziegenfuss, which he claimed translated to goat's foot. Ironically, I can't remember his first name, it must not have been memorable.
Taking it one week at a time
Nearly married an Austrian girl who's last name translated to "plow the village fields he", or Pfligersdorffer for short. Only woman i've dated who didn't even bat an eye about the possibility of taking my nine letter collection of Slavic consonants as a last name.
I had a friend in high school with the last name Hittler. No joke. They emphasized that their last name had 2 t's.

Hail to the college whose colors we wear,
Hurrah for the Yellow and Blue!
Every year, they hold a festival celebrating this town on Slutshole lane in Great Brittain.
(They don't but they totally should.)
Alternatively, they could host it in this lovely British town:

There's more than a few of those, ahem, "oddities" in the UK:

One, there is a roadside stand there outside of an old Amish farmhouse that sells Amish Homeade Rootbeer. CONSUME IT! Also, the adorable little girl that lives there and works the stand probably won't be an adorable little girl by the time you get there, but sseriously, when we were there, she was adorable. SRSLY.
Two, there is a shop in town that sells jalapeno pickled eggs. DO NOT CONSUME IT! Again, SRSLY.
I have a client in Lancaster County. The last time I was there, I got my ex-wife a t-shirt that said, "I <3 Intercourse." I thought it was ironic.
Back in hs my buddy's last name was coxs. Funny to watch his gf have " I love coxs" on the back her car all year.

I played HS football with a guy whose last name was Cox. He was our starting linebacker, but then he had an injury that sidelined him for the season. The Ada/Forest Hills Advance ran the headline:
Huskies to play rest of season with Cox out.
Can't help but remember the olympics and Chinese Trampolinist Dong Dong. Actual Yahoo News headline: "Chinas Dong flips and twists to trampoline gold."

How many times have you been on the freeway and had someone fly by you at 100 mph then end up 2 cars ahead of you at the off ramp? What's the point? -Mark Harmon
I learned that one of my German ancestors was named Hieronymus Knodel...It's surprising that the name Hieronymus went out of style.

....and on my mother's side, there are relations nearby. It's also the name of a mountain in the Alps with a rather grassy summit.

When I was driving on the autobahn I laughed every time I passed an exit. Exit in German is Ausfahrt. Childish I know, but I was only 21 at the time. But of course, I still do find it funny.

is limited to wine. When a wine (or anything else for that matter) comes from a particular place or village, an -er is added to the name. Hence a wine from Wehlen is called Wehlener, etc. Like hamberger and frankfurter for a meat type originating from their respective town.
I assume that people from this village are all Wankers.
There's a street in Holland (MI) named Felch.

I'm a grown ass adult and I still laugh every once in a while when I pass "Fangboner Road" in Ohio.
Hail.
I live about 3 miles from fangboner. I also live right off of Lickert harder pronounced lick her harder.

I'm sure many on this board know of the famous road in Troy - Big Beaver Rd. Exit 69 on the 75, no less.
Here in AZ, we have a Wet Beaver Creek. There is also a Dry Beaver Creek. I know which one I prefer.
Out on the Olympic Peninsula of Washington is "Kitchen Dick Road".
I gotta imagine there is a great story behind that one.
At one point, it meets up with another road...

That just might top exit 69 on Big Beaver rd.
Edit. Damn. Beaten by a split second, lol

Not German, but Brazilian soccer player Argelico Fucks also had a memorable name

My last name is Rash. I joked about naming my daughter Fannie and if we have a son, Richard.

RIP my avatar, June 14, 1998 - October 26, 2012.
Has 2 roads, Hooker and Pleasure. they intersect. So you can say, "meet me at the corner of Hooker and Pleasure".
Good thing my grandmother's father's family did not produce a shitty kicker for PSU... otherwise the campaign might have a slogan of "We still love Dicks!"
Yes, my German grandmother's maiden name is Dicks. Germans are wierd.
