Is Spiezer a Hebrew German name ?

Question:

Is Spiezer a Hebrew German name ?

I was going over my Genealogy. I am wondering if this is A Hebrew Name.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Two of my favorite places didn't turn up much. Nothing on rootsweb family files, and ssdi only one person, who d. in Chicago. Last stop is google.
I know from experience that sometimes the brick wall in research is that a name has been changed for some reason, making it very rare. Also, names die out, due to sons dying, and only daughters who don't carry on the name.
I found one reference in google, and if by ANY chance it is your relatives, it is an incredible story. Mother in the story was a Spiezer by birth (did she have brothers?), who is described as Jewish but didn't keep Kosher.
This family went into the concentration camps in Europe, thus they absolutely were Jewish. Those circumstances also remind me of one very legitimate reason for some persons who may change a name, literally for survival. It may also be a very good reason for loss of records for your research.
