Altschuler

Altschuler, Altshuler, Altschuller (Альтшуллер), Altshuller (Альтшуллер), Altschueler, Altshueler, or Alschuler is a Jewish surname of Ashkenazi origin. It is derived from the Altschul, Old Synagogue in Prague.

According to the tradition, the family surname was formed after 1302, when Jewish refugees from Hakhmei Provence settled down in Prague's Jewish Town in close socio-physical proximity to the Old Shul, thus forming the name.
