Lüntzel
Lüntzel is the name of a Hildesheim patrician family who lived in the Lüntzelhaus on the market square .
Originally the Lüntzel family comes from Quedlinburg and spread from there to Hildesheim, Hanover, Hamburg, Wiesbaden and North America. In Germany today, there are only about ten people with the name Lüntzel, all of whom can be traced back to one tribe.
The family included:
- Johann Gottfried Lüntzel (1717–1783), merchant and senator of the old town of Hildesheim
- Christoph Friedrich Lüntzel (1749–1826), between 1790 and 1802 mayor of Hildesheim's old town several times and member of the Hanoverian Estates Assembly
- Johann Georg Lüntzel (1763–1838), merchant and manor owner of the Nienrode and Bavenstedt estates
- Carl Christoph Lüntzel (1779–1854), second mayor of all of Hildesheim
- Charlotte Wilhelmine Lüntzel (1786–1843), mother of Hermann Roemer , founder and name bearer of the Roemer and Pelizaeus Museum in Hildesheim
- Hermann Adolf Lüntzel (1799–1850), judiciary and regional historian, member of the Frankfurt National Assembly
- Theodor Lüntzel (1802–1878), manor owner
- Alfred Lüntzel (1833–1910), lawyer at the Imperial Court
In 1888, Lüntzelstraße was named after the family. Both Gut Nienrode and Bavenstedt are still owned by the Lüntzel family:
- Nienroder landowner: Robert-Alexander Lüntzel
- Bavenstedter manor owner: Ernst Lüntzel
