The name Nathusius or von Nathusius is the name of a family whose most famous representatives lived and worked in the Magdeburg area in the 19th and 20th centuries .

origin

The family and names probably come from Upper and Lower Lusatia, which were populated by Sorbs . The first known bearers of the name (or related forms) lived there in the 14th and 15th centuries. Even if a direct line of descendants to the later name-bearers has not yet been proven, the origin of the name can be proven with the following name-bearers: the chef Nathus or Natusch (1386), a citizen Natusch from Löbau (1432), the blacksmith Natusch in Lübben (1437 ) and a Michel Natusch from Görlitz (1460). The originally Wendish name Natisch or Natusch changed to the Latinized form Nathusius for some namesake in the 16th century. The first Nathusius to be assigned as an ancestor of today's namesake with a high degree of probability was Hans Nettisch (other spellings still in use at the time: Natisch, Nätisch, Natusch, Netusch). He was enrolled at the University of Frankfurt an der Oder in 1548 under the rectorate of Christophorus Schenk von Landsberg . 1562 Hans Nettisch (Nathusius) is named as the town clerk of Priebus . From 1580 he is mentioned as councilor and / or judge in Priebus.

The descendants of Hans Nettisch (Nathusius) were until the end of the 18th century mostly civil servants in Lower Silesia , Saxony and Brandenburg who were Protestant and mostly acquired citizenship; in addition to town clerks, there were also schoolmasters, preachers, private tutors and cantors. After that, the different family lines were distributed to Berlin , Jüterbog , Leipzig and Halle , Göttingen , Plauen in Vogtland and Baruth .

Christian Nathusius

Christian Nathusius (born June 24, 1625 in Priebus; † June 16, 1707 in Sonnewalde ) was the son of the rector of the city school in Lübben (Spreewald), Elisäus Nathusius († 1668) and probably a great-grandson of Priebus councilor and judge Hans Nettisch ( Nathusius). He attended schools in Spremberg , Lübben, Cottbus , Guben and Stralsund . He later studied theology at the University of Königsberg and from 1653 was tutor to the Counts of Solms-Sonnenwalde. Georg Friedrich Graf zu Solms appointed him from 1655 to pastoral positions in Gehren, Riedebeck, Schönwalde and Fredersdorf. In 1670 he took up a position as a deacon in Sonnewalde and pastor in Zeckerin, a position to which the Counts of Solms had again appointed him.

Christian Nathusius had already married Katharina König (1632–1692) in Sonnewalde on February 11, 1655. The wedding had been arranged for the esteemed Ephorus by the ruling Count of Solms in the large and small hall of the Solm'schen Castle; it was celebrated on the occasion of the baptism of the count's son Otto Heinrich. After the death of his wife, the 68-year-old married Anna Sophia Horn (1657–1696) for the second time. Ten children are known from both marriages, one of whom was Heinrich Wilhelm (I.) Nathusius.

Heinrich Wilhelm (I.) Nathusius

The son of Christian Nathusius was born on December 28, 1670 in Sonnewalde, he died in November 1737 in Luckenau . He attended the Latin school in Sonnewalde for at least five years, at the same time or in succession he learned the bakery trade.

Later he leased the Drehna estate from his godfather Heinrich Wilhelm Graf zu Solms-Sonnenwalde . The lease was extended by nine years on June 24, 1718 (see illustration: Excerpt from a lease ). In addition, Nathusius was the tenant of other goods and farms (Zagelsdorf near Dahme, Weissack and Waltersdorf near Lukau) in the area. Presumably in 1717 Nathusius acquired the Zagelsdorf estate from the tenant Solms-Sonnenwalde, but sold it to a Count von Schönburg in 1721.

The church book of Gossmar shows him five times from 1688 to 1699 as godfather of children of Gossmar dignitaries. On September 29, 1706, Nathusius married the daughter of a Sonnewald citizen, Anna Sophie Dieter (* 1684). Four of their seven children studied law or theology at the University of Wittenberg , including Heinrich Wilhelm (II) Nathusius (1717–1786), the father of Johann Gottlob Nathusius , who later received the general excise .

Johann Gottlob Nathusius and his descendants

Johann Gottlob Nathusius, son of the tax officer Heinrich Wilhelm II. Nathusius, came from the Baruther branch of the family and was probably the most important representative of the family. Coming from a humble background, he became one of the richest and most respected men in what is now Saxony-Anhalt. His sons (and a nephew) founded the six lines in the Magdeburg area:

Family club

The descendants of Christian Nathusius (1625–1707) and his first wife, Katharina, geb. König (1632–1692) formed an association on September 20, 1895, which is now registered in the German register of associations as the “ Association of the Families of Nathusius and Nathusius eV ” . This association includes the members of the six Nathusius lines from the Magdeburg area.
