Lahartinger …
| Language(s) | German |
|---|---|
| Origin | |
| Derivation | Lahntal/Laharting |
| Meaning | Person from Lahntal |
| Region of origin | Tyrol, Austria |
Lahartinger is a very uncommon German-language surname that originated in the Austrian state of Tyrol. Provincial statistics counted fewer than 100 bearers in 2021.[1]
Etymology
[edit]The suffix -inger denotes “person from …” in Bavarian-Austrian toponymy. The root points to the hillside hamlet Lahntal (spelled Lanthal [2]) on the western fringe of Wörgl, cadastral community Wörgl-Rattenberg.
Earliest attestations
[edit]- 1235 – Duke Otto II of Bavaria confirms a monastic dairy farm ‘‘*Schwaige im Lahntal*’’ granted to Altenhohenau Abbey.[2]
- 1402 – Tenancy ‘‘*paumanns recht zu Lanntal*’’ listed among fiefs of the court at Rattenberg.[3]
- 1416 – Charter names ‘‘Thomas Keller, Verwalter des Klosterhofs Lahntal’’.[4]
The spelling Laharting appears on 19th-century military survey maps but parish registers (1607 ff.) and modern cadastral plans retain Lahntal.[5]

Diaspora
[edit]- **1868** – Carpenter Johann Lahartinger acquires farm No. 56 in Mils and helps found the village brass band.[8]
- **1899** – ‘‘Friedrich Lahartinger’’ (b. 1863, Fügen) expelled from the Prussian Rhineland under foreign-worker regulations.[9]
- **20th c.** – Individual branches settle in Munich and Ontario, Canada (first recorded in the 1967 Ontario voters list).[10]
Occupations and social life
[edit]Lahartingers are documented chiefly as dairy farmers, carpenters and day-labourers. A death register entry notes ‘‘Alois Lahartinger, Senner auf der Sternboden-Alm, vom Blitz erschlagen 2 Juli 1891’’ (“struck by lightning while alpine herder”).[11]
Military service
[edit]During the First World War several men served in the Tyrolean Standschützen; casualty rolls list **Josef L.** (wounded 1915) and **Michael L.** (missing 1918).[12] In the Second World War **Raimund Lahartinger** (1910–1942) of Lienz fell on the Eastern Front.[13]
Heraldry
[edit]No historical coat of arms for the surname is recorded in the Österreichische Wappenrolle, the Deutsche Wappenrolle or the registers of the Tyrolean Heraldic Society.[14] Modern personal crests occasionally used by descendants are unregistered and lack heraldic authority.
