Families with the surnames HOBBIE, HOBBIEBRUNKEN, HOBBIOLTMANNS and HOBBJE have their origin in Hollwege. The name HOBBIE is also used by the descendants of several other ancestral lines.
The village Hollwege lies about 2 km northwest of Westerstede and is today part of the municipality Westerstede. In 1107 the „Domicila Holewide in Ammeren“ was an estate of the monastery Corvey. From 1440 onwards, the city of Oldenburg was home to councilman and later builder Diderik van Holwede, who later adopted the name Stynt. In a tax book, the „Oldenburger Salbuch“, the Minister of Duke Moritz von Oldenburg, Jacob Scheinheise (called Specken after marriage), noted around 1428/1450 that Hanneke HOBBING from „Holwede“ had to pay a tax of 1 guilder. Hanneke is a modification of Johann, the most common first name in Ammerland. And the „ing-form“ of the early surname suggests that the farm name HOBBING was in use in Hollwege before the 15th century. In the early land title books of the 17th century the patrimony HOBBIE is called farm Nr. 10 and is located in the centre of Hollwege. Thus this Hollweger family is one of the three to four oldest ancestral lines of the HOBBIE families.
The families „HOBBIE from Hollwege“ until around 1920
The spelling of the names mainly follows the baptismal registers and documents. The German names for farmers and farm hands are retained and are to be interpreted as follows:
„Hausmann“ = farmer with a long-established hereditary farm, first settlers in a village,
„Köter“ = farmer with a smaller, later founded farm,
„Halbköter, Viertelköter“ = Köter with less land,
„Brinksitzer“ = small farmer on the outskirts of the village,
„Anbauer“ = farmer on newly cultivated land,
„Grundheuermann“ = farm hand with own house on non-inherent land,
„Heuermann, Heuerling“ = farm hand without own house,
„Häusling“ = person without own house,
„Dienstknecht, Knecht“ = farm hand.
1. Hanneke HOBBING, *around 1400 Hollwege, Hausmann.
Hanneke HOBBING is the oldest known ancestor of these families „HOBBIE from Hollwege“ and thus – as described above – the top ancestor who worked as a taxable heredity farmer on the family farm until 1907. Further family data are not known to him.
Between Hanneke HOBBING (*about 1400) and Reineke HOBBING (*about 1530), who is listed in 1581 in the defence recruitment register, some authors read Meineke HOBBING, about three further generations must have lived.

This great-great grandson of Hanneke HOBBING is described 1581 in the Westersteder defence recruitment register as „paralyzed and impoverished“.
