Here are the Esselbruegges (Esselbrügges), probably all related.
Most had lived in Burgsteinfurt for generations, where they met up with
the Hantelmanns. The others lived in neighbouring towns in Westphalia.
Some have emigrated to the USA and slightly changed the spelling of their
surname (Freidrich instead of Friedrich may be a typing error. Now it
is up to Thalia to see which of them she can string together. Of the Esselbruegges
(=Esselbrügges) below, only one is in Klaus Bung's written documents:

Esselbrügge means 'pons asinorum' (donkeys' bridge, Eselsbrücke)
pons asinorum (Latin: asses' bridge): proof given
of theorem 5 in book 1 of Euclid's Elements (concerning the angles of
isosceles triangles): inability to follow the proof is supposed to demonstrate
stupidity. In medieval times the theorem was described as elefuga, the
flight of the miserable (from geometry). The term is sometimes applied
to Pythagoras' theorem, sometimes to a medieval logic teaching aid, and
sometimes to any argument supposed to separate intellectual sheep from
goats. (The Oxford Companion to Philosophy, © Oxford University Press
