The history of the last name Uebele

The surname UEBELE originates from the southern regions of Germany, particularly in areas such as Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria. It is believed to have emerged in the late medieval period, around the 13th or 14th century.

The name UEBELE is derived from the Germanic personal name Ubilo, which itself is a diminutive form of the name Ubo or Hubo. These names are thought to have their roots in the Old High German word "hugu," meaning "mind" or "intellect."

One of the earliest recorded instances of the UEBELE surname can be found in the Codex Diplomaticus Nassoicus, a collection of historical documents from the former County of Nassau, dating back to the 14th century. This suggests that the name was already established in the region during that time.

In the 16th century, a notable figure named Hans UEBELE (1495-1563) was a prominent clockmaker and inventor from the town of Nuremberg. His innovations in clockmaking and mechanical engineering were widely recognized during the Renaissance period.

Another individual of historical significance was Johann UEBELE (1670-1742), a German composer and organist who lived and worked in the city of Augsburg. His compositions, particularly for organ and church music, were highly regarded in his time.

The UEBELE surname can also be found in various historical records from the 17th and 18th centuries, such as church registers and municipal records from towns and villages in southern Germany.

In the 19th century, a notable bearer of the name was Karl UEBELE (1829-1907), a German-born painter and illustrator who emigrated to the United States. His works, depicting scenes of American frontier life and landscapes, were widely acclaimed and are now part of several museum collections.

Another individual of note was Theodor UEBELE (1870-1945), a German architect who made significant contributions to the architectural landscape of Munich. Several buildings in the city, including the Prinzregententheater and the Bavarian National Museum, were designed by UEBELE in the early 20th century.
