Live and act

Nothing is known about its origin, despite a crowned family coat of arms on the epitaph it seems to have been of bourgeois origin.

Huben was a member of the Electoral Palatinate Councilor in the electoral clerical administration, which had been mixed denominationally since 1699 and took care of all church affairs. Here he belonged to the Catholic section. In this position he was documented as early as 1708 and also in 1721. The Chur-Palatinate state and state calendar from 1734 still lists him as a councilor to the electoral clergy administration.

1724 he married in Mainz Anna Margarethe Elisabeth Dilbecker. On May 22, 1740, the day before his death, Huben wrote a will. In this he bequeathed u. a. the considerable sum of 1200 guilders from his home parish St. Sebastian in Mannheim. 1775 people in need were provided for from the interest of this foundation.

Lubentius Huben died on May 23, 1740 and was buried in the Mannheim St. Sebastian's Church, where he received an epitaph made of black marble. He is then referred to as the "father of the poor" and their great helper. The inscription also shows that he was also a councilor at the short-lived Electoral Palatinate alternate court , which only existed from 1726 to 1734. It dealt solely with financial matters.
