The history of the last name Jungbauer

The surname JUNGBAUER is of German origin, derived from the Middle High German words "junc" meaning "young" and "gebur" meaning "farmer" or "peasant." It first emerged in the late 13th century in the southern regions of Germany, particularly in Bavaria and parts of modern-day Austria.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name JUNGBAUER can be found in the Bavarian village of Oberdorf, where a certain Hans Jungbauer was mentioned in a land deed dated 1347. Another early reference is from the town of Landshut, where a certain Konrad Jungbauer was listed as a witness in a legal document from 1389.

The name JUNGBAUER likely originated as a descriptive term for a young farmer or someone who had recently acquired land and started farming. Over time, it became a hereditary surname passed down through generations. Some variations in spelling were common in medieval times, such as Jungpauer, Jungpauer, and Junggebauer.

In the 16th century, a notable bearer of the name was Michael Jungbauer (1504-1573), a Bavarian farmer and landowner who played a role in the Peasants' War of 1524-1525. His grandson, Johannes Jungbauer (1548-1615), was a respected theologian and scholar at the University of Ingolstadt.

Another prominent figure was Katharina Jungbauer (1625-1701), a midwife and herbalist from the village of Oberaudorf in Bavaria, who became renowned for her expertise in traditional medicine and midwifery practices.

During the 17th and 18th centuries, the name JUNGBAUER was particularly concentrated in the regions around the Bavarian Alps and the Salzburg area of Austria. Notable individuals from this period include Georg Jungbauer (1679-1744), a master carpenter and builder from the town of Traunstein, and Maria Jungbauer (1712-1788), a renowned cheesemaker from the village of Ramsau in the Berchtesgaden Alps.

As the centuries passed, the JUNGBAUER name spread to other parts of Germany and neighboring countries, often through migration and relocation. Some bearers of the name also anglicized or adapted the spelling to fit local customs and languages in their new homelands.
