The German surname Schroder is an occupational name for a cloth cutter or tailor, from an agent derivative of the Middle Low German term schroden, schraden meaning “to cut.” The same term was occasionally used to denote a gristmiller as well as a shoemaker. the surname is recorded as early as the 12th century when Rutholf Scrodir, given as being the Burgermeister of Coln (Cologne), appears in the charters in 1135 and 1150, whilst two centuries later Hans Schroder was the Burger of Osterwieck in the year 1364.
