I have never heard this name before. So I was looking for it on http://christoph.stoepel.net/geogen.aspx , and found out, that it seems to be rather confined to southeastern Bavaria. In the center of this area, a very small village called Reichenspurn is situated, which is most likely the origin of this name. http://www.landkreis-altoetting.de/index.php?id=3406&sid=1132. It's a name in Bavarian dialect, meaning "home of a man called Reicher (or Richo) next to a forest of beeches" - after all that's the translation of this link, and it's even an official one. Below you can see the only english written site, where the village Reichenspurn is mentioned on.

Maybe it means a German with a spurner long enough to reach

Nothing. There is no meaning to this word.
