The history of the last name Partusch

The surname Partusch is believed to have originated in Germany, specifically in the regions of Saxony and Silesia, around the 16th and 17th centuries. It is thought to be derived from the German word "Part" or "Parte," which means "portion" or "share," suggesting that the name may have been given to someone who worked as a land surveyor or had some connection to land distribution or management.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Partusch can be traced back to a document from the town of Görlitz, in the present-day German state of Saxony, dated 1612. This document mentions a certain Johann Partusch, who was a prominent merchant and landowner in the region.

In the late 17th century, the name Partusch appeared in several church records and municipal registers in the town of Zittau, located in the region of Upper Lusatia, which was then part of the Kingdom of Bohemia (now part of Germany and Poland). These records include the births and deaths of several individuals bearing the name Partusch, indicating that the name had already established itself in the area by that time.

During the 18th century, the Partusch family seems to have spread to other parts of Germany, as well as to neighboring countries such as Poland and Austria. One notable figure from this period was Friedrich Wilhelm Partusch, a German jurist and legal scholar who lived from 1718 to 1789. He served as a judge in the city of Dresden and was widely respected for his expertise in civil and criminal law.

In the 19th century, the name Partusch gained some recognition in the field of agriculture and horticulture. Carl Partusch (1801-1876), a Prussian horticulturist and botanist, made significant contributions to the study of plant cultivation and the preservation of rare plant species. He worked as the director of the Royal Botanical Garden in Berlin and published several influential works on horticulture.

Another prominent individual with the surname Partusch was Emil Partusch (1861-1942), a German engineer and industrialist who played a pivotal role in the development of the textile industry in Saxony. He founded the Partusch Textile Machinery Company, which became one of the leading manufacturers of textile machinery in Europe during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
