Schulz

Schulz is a common German family name in Northern Germany. It is roughly equivalent to the English family name Constable; the German word Schulz originates from the local official known as Dorf-Schulz(e), a local law enforcement officer like a police officer or magistrate. Other spellings include: Schultz, Schulze, Schulthies, Schultze, Schulte, Schulten, Schulzke, Schultheiß, Schuldt, Šulc.

In Silesia, the "u" was often replaced by "o" (Scholz included here, Scholtz).
