The history of the last name Luebbehusen

The surname LUEBBEHUSEN originated in the northern German region of Schleswig-Holstein, near the border with Denmark. It first appeared in written records during the 13th century, deriving from the Old Saxon words "lübbe" meaning "beloved" and "husen" meaning "houses" or "dwellings."

This surname likely referred to a group of beloved or favored residences, perhaps a small hamlet or cluster of homesteads. The earliest known spelling variation was "Lübbehausen," which appeared in a 1274 land registry document from the town of Itzehoe.

In the 14th century, the name was recorded as "Lubbehusen" in a 1328 census of the village of Kellinghusen. This spelling suggests a transition towards the modern form of LUEBBEHUSEN, reflecting changes in local dialects and scribal conventions.

One of the earliest documented individuals bearing this surname was Hans Lubbehausen, a wealthy merchant who lived in the city of Lübeck from circa 1410 to 1482. His name appears on several trade contracts and guild records from that period.

Another notable bearer of the name was Claus Lubbehussen (1525-1597), a Lutheran pastor and theologian who served in the town of Heide and wrote several influential religious treatises.

During the 17th century, the surname spread across northern Germany and into neighboring regions. Johann Luebbehusen (1633-1701) was a respected jurist and legal scholar born in Hamburg who authored works on maritime law.

In the 19th century, Carl Luebbehusen (1801-1875) was a prominent businessman and philanthropist from Altona. He founded several charitable organizations and funded the construction of a hospital that bore his name.

The name also appeared in regions further afield, such as Katharina Luebbehusen (1842-1923), a pioneer settler who emigrated from Hannover to South Australia in 1849 and helped establish a farming community there.

Throughout its long history, the surname LUEBBEHUSEN has maintained a strong connection to its northern German origins, with many bearers hailing from the historic regions of Schleswig-Holstein, Hannover, and Hamburg.
