The history of the last name Immenschuh

The surname Immenschuh is of German origin, dating back to the late medieval period around the 14th century. It is believed to have originated in the region of Bavaria, where it was likely derived from a combination of the German words "immen" meaning "bee" and "schuh" meaning "shoe". This suggests that the name may have initially referred to someone who worked with bees or produced beekeeping equipment such as specialized footwear.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Immenschuh can be found in the city records of Nuremberg, where an individual named Hans Immenschuh is mentioned in a document from 1423. Another early reference is in the Heidelberg University archives, which list a student named Matthias Immenschuh enrolled in 1487.

Another notable figure was Maria Immenschuh, a landowner and philanthropist from the town of Bamberg, who funded the construction of a local orphanage in 1693.

In the 18th century, the Immenschuh name spread to other parts of Europe, including Austria and Switzerland.

The 19th century saw the Immenschuh name continue to appear across Germany and neighboring countries. One significant figure was Friedrich Immenschuh, a German writer and journalist born in 1824, who published several influential works on political and social issues of the time.
