The family name Meyer stands for a dynasty of bronze casters of German origin, documented between the late 16th and the end of the 18th century, active in Copenhagen, Florence, Helsingør, Riga, Stockholm and Tallinn. They were predominantly cannon and bell casters and occasionally statue casters. Over generations they were casters to the City of Riga and to the King of Sweden mainly in Stockholm. Following the tradition of the journeyman years, members of this bronze-casting dynasty had to travel to complete their training before becoming Masters. Since the Middle Ages, bronze casters were highly-skilled craftsmen who were very sought after and thus often travelled very long distances across Europe and beyond to where their technical expertise was sought. Courts typically competed to secure the services of the best casters.
