Georg Wilhelm Amatus Lüer ( Lueer, Luër ) (born April 6, 1802 in Braunschweig , † 1883 ) was a German manufacturer of surgical instruments.

The son of a worker lived in Paris from 1830 and worked as an instrument maker for the company of Joseph-Frédéric-Benoît Charrière until 1837 . He then opened his own company and in the same year married Cecile Caroline Schaal from Sainte-Croix ( Switzerland ).

From there he was expelled in 1870 when the Franco-German War broke out. He had moved his workshop several times and established himself on Boulevard Saint-Germain in the 1870s . In 1881 Lüer became a French citizen as "Georges-Guillaume-Amatus Lüer". A large number of surgical instruments are named after him.

Jean Luer married Hermann Adolf Wülfing (1836–1909) in 1867, who received a US patent for a syringe in 1904 and who also invented the Luer system . Lüer left his business to his son-in-law. The "Maison Lüer" had already patented an all-glass syringe for easy sterilization in 1897.
