The history of the last name Kuebler

The surname Kuebler originated in Germany, specifically in the region of Bavaria. It first appeared during the late Middle Ages, around the 13th or 14th century. The name is derived from the German word "kübler," which refers to a cooper, someone who makes barrels, casks, and other wooden containers.

The earliest recorded instances of the name Kuebler can be traced back to medieval records and documents. One notable mention is in the Weissenburger Klosternamen, a list of names from the Weissenburg Monastery in Bavaria, dating back to the 14th century, where the name "Kuebler" is listed.

In the 16th century, a man named Hans Kuebler (born around 1520) was a renowned cooper in the city of Nuremberg, Germany. His craftsmanship and barrels were highly sought after, and he is considered one of the earliest notable figures with this surname.

Another historical figure bearing the Kuebler name was Johann Kuebler (1673-1743), a German artist and engraver from Nuremberg. He was known for his intricate copperplate engravings and illustrations, many of which depicted religious scenes and portraits of notable individuals from his time.

In the 19th century, a German author and journalist named Friedrich Kuebler (1808-1878) gained recognition for his writings on social and political issues. He was an influential figure during the revolutionary movements of 1848 in Germany.
