Münzenberger

Münzenberger is a German surname of toponymic origin, derived from the town of Münzenberg in Hesse, Germany. The form with the suffix -er indicates a person from or associated with Münzenberg. As a hereditary surname, Münzenberger appears in German-language records from the late Middle Ages and spread through migrations within the German-speaking regions and beyond.

Geographically, the name is most commonly found in Germany, particularly in Hesse, with smaller communities in other European countries and in North America reflecting historical emigration. The spelling is usually Münzenberger in German, while non-accented variants such as Muenzberger may occur in international contexts or archival records.

In terms of notable bearers, there are no widely cited figures bearing Münzenberger in major biographical references. The name is relatively uncommon, and individuals with the surname have appeared in local records and in modern public life without achieving broad historical prominence.
