Overbeck (Hanseatic family)
The Overbeck are a Hanseatic family , that of Georg Christian Overbeck (1713–1786), lawyer and consultant of the Schonenfahrerkollegium , and his wife Eleonora Maria Jauch (1732–1797), daughter of Canon Johann Christian Jauch (1702–1788), in the free Imperial and Hanseatic City of Lübeck was founded. The Overbeck are one of those “ genius and talent families ” who “gave Lübeck its intellectual character through three to four generations”. Alongside Thomas Mann, the painter Friedrich Overbeck (1789–1869) is one of the city's most famous sons. He worked in Rome from 1810 to 1869 and triggered such a cult that “the art-loving German believed he hadn’t seen Rome if he couldn’t talk about Overbeck at home.” His father Christian Adolph Overbeck (1755–1821) belonged with Georg Heinrich Sieveking and Johann Albert Heinrich Reimarus on the " central exponents of the North German Enlightenment "
