Life

Lubbe Onneken was a son of the chief aunt Ummeldes zu Langwarden in Butjadingen . According to a family tradition attested in 1567, he is said to have fled Butjadingen around 1418 because of an unpunished manslaughter. Presumably he was driven out like the other Butjadinger local chiefs, when at the same time the rural population of the country rose up against them in alliance with Bremen. He is said to have been taken into service with Junker Sibet von Rüstringen (attested in 1416, † 1433), son of Lubbe Sibets , on the Sibetsburg . In 1433 he appeared with Hayo Harlda , the chief of Jever , in the unsuccessful attempt to defend the Sibetsburg against Hamburgers and East Frisians . At the time he was already married to Rineld, the half-sister of Chief Sibet von Rüstringen and sister Hayo Harldas.

In 1434 he registered as Lyubbe Onkelde to Knipense (Kniphausen) and since 1440 at the latest he was chief of Knippens , whereby his Kniphausen rule was apparently the share of his wife Rineld from the Sibet estate. Together with his brother-in-law Hayo Harlda, from 1438 at the latest, he tried to succeed Sibet as chief for the "quarter" of Rüstringen or Bant . As a result, both were elected head of this country.

Lubbe Onneken apparently took on this function later alongside Hayo Harlda's son Tanno Duren (attested in 1442; † 1468), but in the following years only he was addressed as chief "zu Rüstringen". Onneken stayed in the background and proved to be a reliable helper for Tanno as well as for his son Edo Wiemken the Younger (* around 1454; † 1511). In return, he was apparently granted the expansion and consolidation of his own chief rule, for example with the right to build castles in Kniphausen and the parishes of Accum and Fedderwarden .

Lubbe Onneken died on May 16, 1476. After the death of his first wife (1438) he had married Binlef (also Binlip or Benelip), the sister of Chief Alke von Inhausen, in his second marriage. She took care of the deportation of Ede, Lubbe Onnecken's son from his first marriage. Instead Kniphausen was given to her own son Iko and after his heirless death (1495) to Fulf von Inhausen, the son of Alkes von Inhausen. Since then, Kniphausen and Inhausen have remained connected. Lubbe Onneken was buried in the fortress church of Accum.
