Notizen zu dieser Person
Regarding the origin of the "Tietz" family name: The following is part of a letter is from Harold Tietz, an aquaintanceof Anthony Tietz. Harold works for Eli Lilly and Company in Germany.Tony met him through the company e-mail. "My father also comes from Ostpreussen (East Prussia). Mygrandfather's name was Bruno Tietz. After the war, my family spreadthroughout Germany; my relatives have lived in Vordertaunus, Eschborn,Hofheim and Bath Homburg. We lived in England for five years beforereturning to Germany. As to the origin of our surname, I have heard this. As Ostpreussenwas populated, about 1300, a family settled in "Dutzenthal." Theywere later called Tietz. A great-uncle discovered this, but did notdetermine how the Tietz family decended. I believe that Tietz is derived from 'Diederich.' The Diederich (andother forms of the name, e.g. Dietrich) was the person who marchedwith the flag in the front of the army. That he was most likely amongthe first to be killed might explain why there are so few Tietz's. "
