Is Steinbüchel a place or a family? Well here in front of Steinbüchel, I can tell you it is both. Steinbüchel is a historical area near Cologne, Germany. The name comes from Sir Konrad von Steinbüchel. He was a knight around the year 1200. The Steinbüchel estate was gifted to him as part of his knighthood. The Steinbüchel family history dates back to at least the 1100s. The family lived in this area for generations. One descendant, Hermann Joseph Steinbüchel, immigrated to America in the late 1800s. He was drawn to the opportunities of the New World. Hermann’s family eventually joined him in America. They settled in Kansas. It’s amazing to think that a knight from the Middle Ages would have descendants living in the American Midwest. The Steinbüchel story is a reminder that history is full of surprises. It also shows how interconnected we all are across time and continents.
