The history of the last name Buehrle

The surname BUEHRLE originated in the German region of Baden-Württemberg, likely in the 16th or 17th century. It is derived from the German word "Bühr" or "Bühre", which referred to a small plot of farmland or a parcel of land, indicating that the name may have originated from a description of the bearer's occupation or landholdings.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name BUEHRLE can be found in the church records of the village of Sulzfeld, near Tauberbischofsheim, in the late 17th century. These records mention a Johann Buehrle, born in 1685, who worked as a farmer and landowner in the area.

In the 18th century, the BUEHRLE name appeared in various records across Baden-Württemberg, including the town of Kirchheim am Neckar, where a family of Buehrles owned a brewery and tavern. Johannes Buehrle (1723-1789) was the proprietor of this establishment and is considered one of the notable early bearers of the name.

During the 19th century, as industrialization and urbanization took hold in Germany, members of the BUEHRLE family migrated to larger cities like Stuttgart and Heilbronn. One prominent figure was Karl Buehrle (1844-1921), a successful businessman and industrialist who founded the Buehrle & Co. engineering firm in Stuttgart.

Another notable individual was Theodor Buehrle (1858-1932), a Lutheran pastor and theologian from Kirchheim am Neckar, who authored several books on religious subjects and was influential in the Protestant church in Baden-Württemberg.

In the 20th century, the BUEHRLE name gained international recognition through Emil Georg Buehrle (1890-1956), a Swiss industrialist and art collector who amassed one of the world's most valuable private art collections, including works by Picasso, Cézanne, and Monet. His collection is now housed in the Buehrle Foundation in Zurich.

While the name BUEHRLE is most prevalent in Germany, particularly in the Baden-Württemberg region, it has also spread to other parts of Europe and the world through migration and diaspora over the centuries.
