Axthelm Clan

In the future family stories will be published on this website, that’s why you can find a new category at the menu on top.

We begin with the backgrounds of the Bavarian noble line “von Axthelm”.

2nd Research Report” width=”400″ height=”111″ />The next research report is now online at the Family Chronicle section. It is about the origin of the name Axthelm. Thanks a lot to Fred Axthelm for the help with translating.

[…] It is clear from all this that the name Axthelm originally belongs to the device-names and points out to an activity, which could correspond to that of a carpenter […]

Here you can read the research report “The etymology of the name Axthelm”

Hello dear Axhelms,

the last few weeks have been quiet on the website. But don’t worry, that’s because we’ve prepared the following new pages for you:

• 3rd research report: Heraldic foundations of the coats of arms
• 4th research report: Genesis of the lineage Axthelm
• Shop – with our Axthelm coat of arms on t-shirts, mugs and more
• Donation page – to support our work

At this point, a big thanks you goes to Ekkehard Axthelm for providing us the scanned research reports of his father Heinz Axthelm.

Hello everyone,

at the page family chronicle you can now access the first research report by Heinz Axthelm of 1938: “How a legend in family history comes about.”

Thanks to Dietmar Axthelm for typing the German text and Christopher Axthelm for proof-reading of the English text.

The other research reports are in preparation.

… or: What should our Axthelm Clan website look like?

You will find answers to these questions at the Family Chronicle page from now on.

Enjoy reading 🙂

Hello dear Axthelms,

in the first post on this website you can read information about the Axthelm coat of arms certificate.

The other pages of this website are currently under construction – we try to upload at least one new post per month.

This new website is going to be filled with content throughout the next months, so that you can inform yourself about the Axthelm family history. You will find these things and more on this homepage:

• documents of the family chronicle
• family tree
• family stories
• news, clan meetings etc.

All information is going to be online in German AND in English, so that our international Axthelm Clan (e.g. from America) is involved as well.
