The Pritzl family resided in Lam, Germany. Lam (49°12' 13°03', 229.5 miles S of Berlin) is located in Oberpfalz (Upper Palatinate). The administrative region (kreis) is Cham, which is located in the northern parts of the Bavarian forest. Immediately East of this region in Bavaria is the Czech Republic's Sudetenland region (Bohemia) and the towns of Plzen and Karlovy Vary. Lam's current population is 2,875. The Lam market lies in the Bavarian forest in a narrow valley. The valley is bordered by the Arber, Osser, Kaitersberg, and High arc mountains. Lam was established May 29, 1279 in a deed of Bishop Henry of Regensburg. The Pritzl family was Roman Catholic. Johann Pritzl was a weaver. The surname Pritzl is derived from a pet form of Pritz, a topographic name of Slavic origin for someone living near a birch wood (brjaza).
