Early Lorbers in the heart of Germany
Probable link
Lorbers appear in Thuringia relatively early. Still unsure is this origin in the lines Mecklenburg stem line
or from the Franconian line
to have. The appearances in southern Thuringia speak for Franconia due to the spatial proximity, the mentions in Naumburg on the border to Thuringia could also indicate connections to the north. The exploration of these roots requires further research.
Probable progenitor
Since there may be several independent early mentions, it is not possible to speak of a progenitor here.
Early documentary mentions in and around Thuringia:
- Hartung Lorber, early 15th century in Naumburg
- Klaus Lorber, 1452 Franconian fiefdom of the Counts of Beichlingen
- Nikolaus Lorber (1452-1506), grandson of Clas Lorber from the Franconian Urban Line to Bamberg, choir master in Erfurt
- Kilian Lorber, 1512 in Themar / Hildburghausen district
- Hans Lorber ( between 1551 and 1555), 1514 Mayor of Rastenberg in Thuringia, earliest known Lorber in Rastenberg. Origin unclear. Progenitor of the> Rastenberger Astes.
Werdegang
The relationships still have to be clarified.
The further course has so far only been researched by one of the branches created in Thuringia, the Rastenberger branch.
Outstanding biographies
- Johann Christoph Lorber (probably 1645-1702), imperial poet and court lawyer in Weimar
- Heinrich Lorber, valet of the princes of Schwarzburg-Sondershausen in the mid-19th century
(All are still unexplored, possibly part of the Rastenberger branch or other branches.)
Spread today
Many Lorbers still live in Thuringia today. Some can be relied on Rastenberger, others also on the Vogtland branch
lead back.
However, this could also come from other branches of the Thuringian Lines that have not yet been discovered and fathomed. It remains exciting!
The article in the family magazine Laurus
This branch was also covered in the family magazine "Laurus" in 2014. The corresponding article can be downloaded here (PDF in German).
