Q: How do you pronounce Laumeier?
A: Laumeier often is mispronounced. Between a St. Louis street named Lohmeyer, and a downtown casino named Lumiére, there's no shortage of variations. The correct pronunciation is "Lau" (rhymes with "now") - "meier" (rhymes with "higher").
Laumeier is the family name of Henry and Matilda Laumeier who were the last owners and residents of the property where Laumeier sits today. Henry Laumeier's ancestors emigrated from Germany in the mid-19th century, therefore we use the traditional German pronunciation of his surname.
