The history of the last name Kuebrich

The surname KUEBRICH has its origins in Germany, with the earliest records dating back to the late 15th century. It is believed to have originated from the Middle High German word "Kubri," which referred to a cooper or barrel maker. This occupational surname was likely given to someone who worked as a cooper or was involved in the barrel-making trade.

The name KUEBRICH is thought to have first emerged in the region of Bavaria, particularly in the areas around Munich and Augsburg, where the barrel-making industry was prominent during the Middle Ages. Over time, the name spread to other parts of Germany and neighboring countries as people migrated and settled in new areas.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name KUEBRICH can be found in the tax records of the city of Augsburg from the year 1492, where a certain "Hans Kubrich" is listed as a resident and barrel maker. Another early reference is found in the church records of the town of Landshut, Bavaria, where a "Jorg Kuebrich" was recorded as a godfather in 1523.

In the 17th century, a notable figure by the name of Johann KUEBRICH (1620-1692) was a respected theologian and author from the region of Saxony. His works on Protestant theology and biblical commentary were widely read and influential during his time.

During the 18th century, a family by the name of KUEBRICH made their mark in the wine industry in the Rhineland-Palatinate region of Germany. Johann Adam KUEBRICH (1725-1798) was a respected vintner and winemaker, and his descendants continued the family's winemaking tradition for several generations.

In the 19th century, a prominent figure with the surname KUEBRICH was Karl KUEBRICH (1832-1894), a German-born architect who emigrated to the United States and designed several notable buildings in the city of Chicago, including the historic Germania Club building.

Another individual of note with the surname KUEBRICH was Gertrud KUEBRICH (1891-1975), a German artist and painter known for her landscapes and still-life works, which were exhibited in various galleries across Europe during the early 20th century.

While the surname KUEBRICH has its roots in Germany, it has since spread to other parts of the world through immigration and migration patterns. However, the name's strong connection to its German origins and occupational history as barrel makers and coopers remains evident in its etymology and historical references.
