Origin and history
The family comes from Lower Silesia , but spread early over the Niederlausitz to the Neumark , where the knight Albertus de Luge appeared in 1256 and founded the town of Landsberg an der Warthe in 1257 . The first registered gender is Thymo de Luccene , who appeared as a witness in Guben in 1253 . Between 1290 and 1313 Johann von Luk appeared as a follower of the Duke of Glogau .
The sex was divided into the main Silesian tribe Salisch and the Neumark tribe Muschten. Since the early modern times, the members of the sexes called themselves partly von Luck, partly von Lucke, often with the addition of the name of their estate, e.g. B. Luck and Witten or Lucke and Kursko.
