1.�������� INTRODUCTION

This booklet provides details of some 1000 Heberles and related families who have ancestors who lived in Bavaria.�� This includes anyone who has used the Heberle name at any time in their life.� Included in the family tree are other surnames such as Haberle , Hoberle and Heberlin who may be ancestors of Heberles or alternative spellings of Heberle.� The family trees for Bavaria are possibly about 35% complete.� Family tree work is continuing, aimed at having a family tree at least 75% complete before 2005.�� Much of the information in this booklet is based on incomplete information, with some guesswork.�� Please advise me of omissions and errors; as I may revise/update this booklet from time to time.�� This booklet is one of a series intended to culminate in the publication of a Heberle book in 2005.

This booklet has been typed using an English key board.�� As such, umlauts are difficult to type.�� Most Haberles have an umlaht (�) over the a = (�). This is often typed as ae in English.� In general, umlauts not been used, but may be inserted in a future revision. The German letter b has been typed as B.

6. ������� ORIGIN OF THE NAME

The origin of the name Heberle is uncertain:

�       It may be occupational in origin, associated with the Germans and Jews, meaning �one who grew or dealt in oats�, from the early German word �Haber� for oats (Hanks and Hodges, 1988).

�       Its also possible that Heberle comes from �Eber�, which is wild boar in German (source: Gonzales).

�       It could be derived from �Heber� which means a loader or carrier (Jones, 1990).

�       According to Heintze-Cascorbi, Hadu which meant battle and berht which meant famous in old high German, developed into Hadaperht, Habbert, Habert, Hebert, Heberlein, Heberle, Haberle and other names.

Haber/Heber/Eber group names closely and not closely related to Heberle

In my opinion, Heberle is one of a number of surnames derived from Haber, Heber and/or Eber.

�       Family tree data back to 1550 suggests that Heberle/Haberle evolved from a number of names, including Eberle, Heberlein, Heberlin, Haberle, Hebeler, Heberlig, Haberling and that a number of names evolved from Heberle/Haberle, including Heberly, Haberly, Heverly, Haverly, Hebrlee.

�       There is evidence that Heberle/Haberle also evolved from or into or is related to names such as Haber, Haberl, Heber, Heberl, Aber, Aberl, Eber, Eberl, Epperlein, Eberlini, Ebirlein, Eberlinus, Hepperle, Erbele.

�       Names such as Heberlee, Heberlie, Heberley, Habberley, Hebley, Heaberle, Haberley as found in Great Britain, USA, Australia and New Zealand are almost certainly anglicised versions of Heberle/Haberle etc.

�       There are a number of Haber/Heber/Eber type names which may not be closely related to Heberle.�� These include Eberhart, Heberhart, Ebur, Epp, Eppen, Epple, Eple, Haberer, Haberar, Haberma, Haberman, Habermann, Havermann.

�       Hebert is a common name, perhaps originating from France and probably not closely related to Heberle (it may be related to Herbert).�� The same can be said of Ebert.��

�       Some of the Hebers are British or Jewish origin and not related to Heberle.�� Some of the Hubers are possibly related to Heberle.

7. ������� BRANCHES OF THE HEBERLE FAMILY

Most European Heberles live in the west and south west of Germany and in the adjoining north-eastern part of France, previously called Alsace and Lorraine, which was once part of Germany.�� The Heberle name was probably adopted in a number of places, over a period, ie it is polygenetic, rather than monogenetic (derived from one person).� Branches currently thought to be represented in Germany, France and elsewhere (mainly America) are shown below.� Further details are provided in �A history of the Heberle family 1555-2001�. This data is not reliable.� Much more work is required.�� Data as at 15.11.2001.

"Branch" totals

*1 Possibly derived from Rhineland-Palatinate, *2 Possibly the same branch, could be derived from Konstanz-Freiburg area.

8. ������� HEBERLES FROM BAVARIA

My current opinion is that about 80% of the Heberles currently in Bavaria are from the Altusried branch and 20% from other branches. Based on the family tree, the numbers of Heberles within the current boundaries of Bavaria since 1580 may have been of the following order.

The above data is not reliable.�� * =Data from Heberle family trees, number using the name.

The 15th-century town hall, the ducal castle, and the electoral palace are among many surviving medieval and Baroque buildings. St. Martin's Church (1421), St. George's (14th century, transformed into Baroque in the 18th century), and the pilgrimage church (1697-1702) on the Mariahilfberg are also notable. The state archives for the Upper Palatinate as well as the municipal archives are in Amberg.

Munich, or M�nchen, is the capital and largest city of Bavaria and the third largest city in Germany (after Berlin and Hamburg). It lies about 50 km north of the edge of the Alps and along the Isar River. Munich, or M�nchen ("Home of the Monks"), traces its origins to the Benedictine monastery at Tegernsee, which was probably founded in AD 750.� Munich increased in wealth and size and prospered until the Thirty Years' War. It was occupied by the Swedes in 1632, and in 1634 a plague epidemic killed off one-third of its population. The city's population of 100,000 in 1854 grew to 500,000 by 1900.�� Composer Richard Wagner lived here. It was in Munich that Adolf Hitler joined the National Socialist (Nazi) Party and became its leader.�� The beer cellar where he held meetings that led to the Putsch ("rising") against the Bavarian authorities in 1923 can still be seen.�� In World War II, Munich suffered heavily from Allied bombing raids, which destroyed more than 40 percent of its buildings.�� Among the old buildings that still stand are three of the seven town gates dating from the 14th century.�� Other medieval buildings include Munich's cathedral, the Church of Our Lady (Frauenkirche; built 1468-88), and the Old Town Hall (1470-80) in the Marienplatz.�� Nearby is St. Peter's Church (1169).�� The city has several of the largest breweries in Germany and is famous for its beer and its annual Oktoberfest celebration.�� Munich is a major tourist destination and a convention centre.��� Book publishing and printing and television production are also important.
