The history of the last name Neibauer

The surname NEIBAUER has its origins in the German and Austrian regions, dating back to the 16th century. It is derived from the German words "neu" meaning "new" and "bauer" meaning "farmer" or "peasant." This suggests that the name was likely given to someone who was a new settler or a recent farmer in a particular area.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the NEIBAUER name can be found in the village records of Freiburg im Breisgau, a city in southwestern Germany, in the year 1587. Here, a farmer named Hans NEIBAUER is mentioned as a landowner in the region.

In the 17th century, the name NEIBAUER appeared in various church records and tax documents across Bavaria and Austria. For example, in the town of Graz, Austria, a family of NEIBAUERs is listed as owning a vineyard in the year 1642.

During the 18th century, the NEIBAUER name began to spread more widely across central Europe. Notable individuals from this time period include Johann NEIBAUER (1724-1802), a renowned clockmaker from Vienna, and Anna NEIBAUER (1761-1838), a renowned midwife who served in the town of Salzburg.

As the 19th century dawned, the NEIBAUER name became more prevalent in regions such as Saxony and Bohemia. One famous bearer of the name during this era was Friedrich NEIBAUER (1819-1892), a German philosopher and university professor who taught at the University of Leipzig.

In the early 20th century, the NEIBAUER surname continued to be found across Germany, Austria, and other parts of central Europe. One notable figure was Max NEIBAUER (1877-1952), a German artist and painter known for his landscape and portrait works.
