Jacob Nöbbe (born October 4, 1850 in Flensburg ; † March 31, 1919 Flensburg) was a German painter.

He was based in Flensburg at Neumarkt 12 and recognized as a portrait painter. As a drawing teacher, he privately taught the young Emil Hansen, who later became famous under the name Emil Nolde . His son was Erwin Nöbbe . Jacob Nöbbe was also the teacher of the painter Alexander Eckener .

Jacob Nöbbe was the son of a master painter, with whom he apprenticed from 1867 to 1870. After studying at the art academies in Düsseldorf and Dresden (his teachers there included Ludwig Richter and Julius Hübner ), he worked as a portrait painter for a year before going to the Berlin art academy to expand his knowledge. There were Heinrich Petersen Fishing and Erich Kubierschky his fellow students with whom he was staying in 1882 in Ekensund. He was a member of the Schleswig-Holstein Art Cooperative and also exhibited in Munich and Berlin. A painted palette by 14 artists, including Louis Douzette , Richard Hünten, Carl Becker , Reinhard Paul Junghans, Anton Asmussen , Eduard von Gebhardt and Karl Plückebaum also contains a self-portrait by Nöbbe with a view from a window (Vineta Museum Barth).

With his family - his son Erwin and his daughter Elsa were also artistically gifted - he spent the summer months in Ekensund in the 1890s, as far as his work as a drawing teacher in Flensburg allowed. Here, alongside Wilhelm Dreesen , he had developed into the central figure of the artists' colony that had existed since the 1880s . His painterly interest was in the naturalistic rendering of his home in Schleswig-Holstein in portraits and landscapes, the special quality of which was evident in the treatment of light and color. He was a member of the Schleswig-Holstein Art Cooperative and exhibited in Berlin and Munich. In 1895 he created the congratulatory address for the fishing landscape for Bismarck's 80th birthday (Bismarck Museum Friedrichruh).

"Everyone from Flensburg knows the little man with the gray felt hat and the yellow paint box when he goes out to paint on the fjord."
