The history of the Mann family can be traced back to Nuremberg in the 16th century . The clearly verifiable line of ancestors begins with the merchant Johann Mourer Mann from Parchim, born in 1611 . However, a direct line between this and the Nuremberg line cannot be proven beyond doubt. Johann Mourer Mann's two sons married in Grabow , Mecklenburg , where the older of them was elected mayor in 1694 and the younger councilor in 1690 . Johann the Elder, born in 1635, married Elisabeth Marnitz, and Johann the Younger, born in 1644, married her younger sister Anna. Both were daughters of councilor Ebel Marnitz, members of the long-established and wealthy Marnitz merchant family.

The youngest brother's son, Siegmund Mann, moved to Rostock in 1713 . One of his sons, Joachim Siegmund, learned the trade of brewer and businessman. His only son, Johann Siegmund, came to Lübeck in 1775 as a tradesman. This, great-great-grandson of Johann Mourer Mann, founded the Johann Siegmund Mann, commission and freight forwarding business in Lübeck in 1790 . His son Johann Siegmund Mann jun. , the grandfather of Heinrich and Thomas Mann, married Elisabeth Marty as the second wife in 1837, the daughter of a wealthy Swiss merchant who was an active member of the respected Reformed community in Lübeck. The Mann family came into contact with the south for the first time since their possible origins in Nuremberg. In 1842 he acquired the house at Mengstrasse 4, built in 1758 (today known as the “ Buddenbrookhaus ”). A family grave of the Mann family is located in the Burgtorfriedhof in the Hanseatic city of Lübeck , the birthplace of Thomas and Heinrich Mann.

The son of Johann Siegmund Mann Jr., Thomas Johann Heinrich Mann , took over the company in 1862. In 1869 he married Julia da Silva-Bruhns (1851–1923), the daughter of a Lübeck merchant who emigrated to Brazil and the daughter of a Portuguese-born plantation owner . In 1877 he was elected Senator for Economics and Finance of the city state of Lübeck. This made him the most important politician in the city after the mayor and the rank of minister of a German federal state . His son Thomas Mann processed the history of the family up to him in the novel " Buddenbrooks " , published in 1901 and awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1929 . Thomas' older brother Heinrich Mann wrote important, often socially critical novels, influenced by the French novel of the 19th century, and was President of the Poetry Section of the Prussian Academy of the Arts .

In 1905 Thomas Mann married Katia Pringsheim from Munich, from the wealthy Pringsheim Jewish merchant family . Of their six children, three also became famous as writers, Erika (1905–1969), Klaus (1906–1949) and Golo (1909–1994), the latter as a qualified historian. Thomas Mann and his entire family emigrated, like his brother Henry, 1933 in the seizure of power of Hitler abroad and worked from there as much acclaimed representatives of the political and literary emigrants during the exile literature . Golo Mann was the only one to return to Germany, became a professor of political science and one of the most famous German historians of the 20th century.
