Grammar note

The oral, colloquial use of the article for last names is not uniformly used to do not use an article, Central German is inconsistent, in southern German, Austrian and Swiss idioms the article tends to be needed.

In the event of an article use: the "Chemnitz" - for male individuals who "chemnitz" in the singular - for female individuals and/or a "chemnitz" for one and/or a relative from the "Chemnitz family “And/or the group of namesers. The one in the plural applies to the family and/or all name carriers of the same name. The written, standard language use for last names is in principle without an article.
