One of the earliest recorded instances of the name JUERS can be found in the Kirchenbücher (church records) of the village of Großenried, in the region of Swabia, dating back to the 16th century. These records mention a family named JUERS residing in the village during that time period.

In the 17th century, the name JUERS appears in various documents and records from the city of Augsburg, located in Bavaria. This indicates that families bearing this surname had spread to urban areas as well, possibly due to economic opportunities or social mobility.

Another significant figure was Christoph Juers (1623-1698), a German composer and organist who lived and worked in the city of Nuremberg during the Baroque period. His compositions for organ and choir were widely performed and admired in his time.

In the 18th century, the JUERS surname can be found in records from the region of Saxony, suggesting that families with this name had spread to other parts of Germany. One example is Friedrich Juers (1741-1807), a writer and educator who authored several textbooks on grammar and language studies.
