The line HOBBIEBRUNKEN of the families „HOBBIE aus Hollwege“ until around 1920
The name HOBBIEBRUNKEN originated after the local custom of the Ammerland, because all sons preferred to give their first-born sons the name of their father or grandfather. Dierk Hobby, also called „Dirk“, „Dirich“ or „Dietrich“, was born around 1600 and died of the plague in 1666.. His first son Dirk (*1635) as heir to the family home named his eldest son Dirk. The second son Brunke (*1644) also wanted to baptize his first-born son in the name of his father „Dirk Hobby“. For the differentiation he received according to local custom the name addition „Brunke“, attached to the first name, so that he was called Dirk Hobbybrunken from now on. So he became – the 8th generation starting from Hanneke HOBBING (*around 1400) as the top ancestor of the families „Hobbie aus Hollwege“ – the founder of the until today very widespread line HOBBIEBRUNKEN, which has its origin in the neighbouring Moorburg, which lies 2 km north northwest of Hollwege and 4.5 km northwest of Westerstede.
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.
