Beezen is a Plateau language of Cameroon. The Baazem variety is divergent.
Christoph Beetz was ennobled by Emperor Charles VI in Vienna, Austria on 27 January 1734 as "Beez von Beezen" after receiving heritable membership of the old class of the Holy Roman Empire. His military career is highlighted by his command of a regiment at the age of 20 and his final appointment as Swedish Platz-Major and Stabs-Major of the military garrison in Stralsund. He was ranked with the same duties as a Stadt-General. His 1746 portrait still graces the interior of Saint Mary's Church, Stralsund, Germany where he is buried.
