Jakob Hübens (portrait from the destroyed epitaph)

Jakob Hübens (born May 6, 1654 in Lübeck ; † April 9, 1731 ibid) was a merchant, councilor and mayor of Lübeck .

The Lübeck merchant family Huebens originally came from the Netherlands, from where the great-grandfather Huens immigrated. At the age of 25 he took over his father's trading business in 1679. In 1715 he was elected to the city council, where he was appointed one of the four mayors in the year of his death .

From 1681 he was married to Elisabeth Nölting, daughter of the elderly man of the shopkeeper Johann Nölting .

Its epitaph in Lübeck's Marienkirche was destroyed in the air raid on Lübeck in 1942 and is only preserved in fragments of its architecture.

Huebens' manuscript of a Lübeck chronicle up to 1610 has been preserved, which is closely based on Heinrich Rehbein's chronicle.
