I. Preface
Dear Cousin,
This writing is dedicated to you, our friends and all those that would enjoy or have an interest in our families. A long dreamed wish is herewith fulfilled. I do have to disappoint you if you expect this to be the extended history of your own immediate family. What is written here concerns all those whose name happens to be Nuber; and all Nubers should know what has been written down here.
In the beginning the intent was for this collection to come out as a book in 1951; at a time when 700 years had passed since our name first can be traced in documents. The book was intended to give an overall view of all that is worth knowing about the Nuber family and an introduction for a chain of family stories plus a genealogical table. Contents and execution were intended to be more extended.
In times past a large portion of the research results were lost. Although much of the data could be re-established, it is difficult to do a complete job, since archives and parish records and other sources are not always available. To protect what was available and to give many others a chance for their own research the following pages were written. The contents of this script had to be and could only be a concise one. The growing frame of historical events, the prevailing culture descriptions, economic and social conditions, analysis of biological events, personal episodes in which our ancestors were entwined, in short, everything that this research has found should make it a valuable and interesting document, but anything personal in a family history should be left to the individual. It can only be hinted at here.
The manuscript would therefore come under the threat of appearing dry and soulless, which a collection like this cannot avoid. Read this script in a more leisurely hour, with a history book and a map or atlas at hand.
At this point I would like to thank all the clergy and parish recordkeepers of both confessions (Catholic and Lutheran), directors and employees of archives and local museums, who with great understanding cooperation, in friendly fashion gave information, advice -- often in an unselfish manner -- and help. Their number extends into the hundreds. I also owe thanks to all the Nubers who sent me their records and notes, but above all to Friedrich Nuber at Dingolfing (a town in Bavaria) and Hugo Nuber at Ludwigsburg. For material help my special thanks go to Friederich Nuber at Düsseldorf and Mr. O. Moritz at Sallach (a town in Swabia). The biggest thanks I owe to my mother, who gave us, who were without a home, possessions or existence a new place to live that included my dear wife whose work and self-denial during long, lonesome hours at wartime make this manuscript possible.
Schwäbisch Gmünd, in the year of 1947

A virtue is the age of ancestries;
really only a request,
to emulate them and be like them.Quotation by Ulrich von Hutten (contemporary of Martin Luther)
II. Introduction
1. Please permit me to give a synopsis of
how the research developed.
In the year 1926 in going through old papers, my father showed me 3
"family trees", which he had assembled in the years 1880-1897. He
got them partly from relatives or third party sources. Although I
was in training for my profession I began to search for these families
and started to expand on the documents at hand. Soon I became disturbed
to find that only those families of "interest" were mentioned.
In 1929 I wrote to Derdingen (a town in Swabia) and got a friendly
invitation to study their books. Being transferred to northern Germany,
I could only pursue the good intention in 1935. Since the family line led
to Maichingen (a town in Swabia), a visit there followed. In 1668,
respectively 1652 the Nuber line stopped there. A notice directed me to
Ilmünster in upper Bavaria. The Maichingen parish records showed since
1558 many "NUFER" individuals that just died out when the Nubers started.
So I encountered for the first time the problem "Nuber versus Nufer". An
inquiry at about 65 church administrations at Obergäus, Strohfelde and
Schönbuch followed that brought a good indication of the distribution
of the "Nufers", but nothing about the "Nubers".
An article in a magazine brought me to the neighborhood of Lake Constance. In a visit to the town of Lindau in 1937 and a search through archives, telephone books and address books I detected numerous Nubers dating back to the 16th century. Already in 1934 I looked through telephone and address books when time and opportunity gave me the chance on my business or private travels. I took notes of addresses and telephone numbers. I called or visited with people.
Now began the inquiry in Swabia and Bavaria, the Allgäu district and in the neighborhood of the Danube. I continued this even during the war times. The year 1945 brought the loss of the box that contained most of the documents at my apartment in Rostock, a town that is now in East Germany. When the front came closer we were only able to retrieve a folder containing just a minimum of the genealogy.
After release from prisoner of war camp and transfer to the family back at my parents' house at Schwäbisch Gmünd I began next to establish a new existence, began new inquiries in Upper Swabia, upper Bavaria and the Neckar Valley in order to replace what was lost and follow new leads. Travels into the Achberger district and to Ulm (a city on the Danube river) followed. Sources were, where not otherwise indicated, parish records or parish record archives pertaining and pertinent to the locations.
2. Archive sources or pertinent literature are mostly indicated at the sections dealing with them. So far the following archives or towns have been consulted: Augsburg, Brünn/Mähren, Esslingen, Göppingn, Hameln/Westphalia, Heilbronn, Ingolstadt, Innsburg, Kempten/Allgäu, Lindau im Breisgau, Lake Constance, Munich, Neuburg/Danube, Schorndorf, Schwäbisch Gmünd, Sigmaringen, Speyer, Stadthagen/Westphalia, Stuttgart, Ulm and Vienna.
References pertaining to the name (Nuber) can be found in the following surname dictionaries:
3. Everything said about "Nuber" goes for all of those who have a similar or derivation of that name including differences in spelling. Exceptions are sections IV, V and VI in which spellings are expressly different.
4. From the 15th century the areas in which they lived were classified as follows:
Allgäu Group which includes the Swabian and Bavarian
Allgäu with surrounding districts up to Lake Constance and halfway
to the Lech and Danube Rivers. Within these districts it is presumed
there are still other homogeneous groups to be recognized.
Danube Group: That is, areas settled on one or both sides of
the Danube from Saulgau-Ertingen through Ulm, Günzburg, Neuburg, Donaumoos,
Ingolstadt, Regensburg to Passau.
Lowlands Group: (Not the country of the Netherlands) All other
districts outside the abovementioned areas and specifically the Neckar-Rhine
and Ragnitz valley catchment districts.
Foreign Countries: As detailed in sections on pages
40 and 46.
5. In the sections entitled "Where they are and how they spread" under descendants the town names are underlined where relatives of a particular family are still present. Under persons are named people of importance for that particular tribe.
6. In our, the 20th century all years begin with 19.., the 13th century with 12.., etc.
7. A list of persons was not made since this manuscript is concerned only with genealogy. [not quite sure what this word was in the original --Richard Heli, 2001]

III. What does the name "Nuber" mean?
About the name "Nuber" and its variations.
Every one of us knows it is not simple to be called either Nuber or Nufer! Even authorities have a tendency to make out of the N an H or St or even an L. Very seldom the name is understood when first encountered. Its deep and drawn out sound makes it hard to understand. It was not always that way and is in the countryside still not so. There was a time when one spoke or wrote after "u" an "o" or an "e" -- thus forming a diphthong [i.e. a gliding monosyllabic speech sound (as the vowel combination at the end of "toy") that starts at or near the articulatory position for one vowel and moves to or toward the position of another.] This sound in connection with short articulation gave the name a more fluent and forceful ring. In ancient times people had only one name. As the size of the population increased -- at about the 12th or 13th century -- it became necessary to differentiate between like names and people were given or adopted family names. Prominent features such as occupation, place of origin such as country or town, territorial features, body appearances or mentality were used for family names. The latter is the origin of the name "Nuber". It is an old Swabian adjective meaning industrious, cheerful, awake, watchful, both mentally as well as physically. With us this word into oblivion since about the 19th century, but in other parts of the world where German is spoken, the word "nuber" as an adjective is quite prevalent, e.g. in the Banat where Swabians live. They left starting in about the middle of the 18th century from Swabia. Some moved to southern Hungary and some to [what became] northern Serbia to find a new homeland. In the observations of the author during the war, in some older writings the word "nuber" or "nufer" can be found as in a [original illegible] by Fronsperger: "... spying in the night and making 'nuffer'" (keeping one's eyes peeled). Perhaps there are some neighborhoods in southern Baden, Switzerland or Alsace-Lorraine where the word is still used because they speak a kind of Middle High German. In general, mankind loves to attach to others a negative connotation, but our name means more a positive recognition than derisive criticism.
It seems to be confined to the old Swabian language territory and does not have to be Bavarian or Frankish dialect. It appears to more sound like the old Icelandic word "noefr" meaning smart and indicating proof of its high age and origin.
In Upper Swabia we find the style of writing "nu(o,e)ber" prevalent whereas in northern Wurttemberg -- in the lowlands -- where the name shows up about 100 years later for the first time, in the beginning was spelled Nu(o,e)f(ff)er. The word and therefore the name are one and the same. The manner of writing was tenaciously retained even when a Nuber wandered into Nufer territory, or vice versa, as for instance at Maichingen where about the time of the Thirty Years War [fought, on and off, throughout the German lands from 1618-1648] Nubers immigrated into the Nufer territory. The difference in spelling to the north or south of the Schwäbisch Alb mountains, which can also be found in other words, must have occurred from about the 13th century to the beginning of the 15th. At that time one incorporated the sounds "ei" and "au" into the North Swabian language from the Bavarian language, replacing the "e" and the "a". The name appears also now in deviations and manner of writing where affiliation is partly correct, partly questionable. For sure to this belong the Nubers, Nubler, Nuoba and so on!
Kapff [mentioned above] counts also into this those who arrived from false separation dialectic variations "de nuber". It is also safe to assume that, for instance, in Lugde, Westphalia in the 17th century Nueber became Nüber, even if only temporarily. In Menningen in 1680 they merrily wrote the name "Nieberle". Also in Switzerland Nuefer became Nueferli or Nüferli. Should we also add to the list Nieberle and Nübling, the Niefer and Nüferle? The latter brings us already to frontier borders where the name Neufer is thrown in with Nuber into one pot (for instance in the Georgii - Georgenau, Wurttemberg servants manual) and the former Neiffer, Neyffer, Niyfer, Nyeffer as a way to write the name, but means something entirely different. When in doubt one has to go back in time to trace the original way of spelling.
In this manuscript we want to concentrate just on "Nuber and Nufer". The "o" or "e" after the "u" was dropped in about the middle of the 17th century (for instance in Ulm) in rural parish books about the beginning of the 18th century, but in cities earlier than that. Yet we are happy to hear the strong sound of "Nueber and Nuefer" striking our ears in the areas of Lake Constance or Gäu [in Swabia].
