SCHERMER is both an old function (the sable-fighter, defender, care-taker) and became a title for a free citizen (of the empire of Old-Germany) at times when individuals "belonged" to the noble on which land he/she was born. Example: In 758 A.D. German emperor Pippin (the little one), father of Charles the Great, following as crowned emperor in 800 A.D., signed a document with 5 wax seals and released one of his subjects (a farm-worker) into free citizenship in return for having saved his life - with the nobility privileges a) to wear a sword in public and b) own land of his own. The name: SCHERMER became a title (function and middle-class nobility) that over the centuries mutated into the German Word for SCHIRMHERR (Protector). In the dutch literature and language (even of today) one can find the name SCHERMER in two different instances, but logically related: 1) the sable-fighter, defender, care-taker 2) In the northern part of the Netherlands (Holland, de oulde land) a certain area, next to Germany, was named Schermer, because it was the main defense area against the East-FRISIAN tribe of Germany.
