The Düben family (German pronunciation: [ˈdyːbm̩]) is a Swedish family originally from Saxony, Holy Roman Empire, whose members were elevated to the Swedish nobility, that rose to prominence with Andreas Düben ( c. 1597–1662), an organist to the German Church in Stockholm, Swedish Empire.
During the 17th century, the Düben family exerted a significant influence on music at the Royal Court Orchestra, which experienced a golden age during those years. The family collected and composed various works, resulting in a compilation known as the Düben collection. Gustaf Düben, the son of Andreas Düben, was responsible for compiling this collection.
Its members use different surnames; the ennobled individuals and their descendants incorporate a nobiliary particle, " von," into their surnames, as seen in "von Düben" (German pronunciation: [fɔnˈdyːbm̩]), while the un-ennobled members do not include this particle in their surnames.
The Düben family progenitor, Michael Düben, was an advisor ( German: Ratsverwandter) in Lützen. He had a son, Andreas Düben (1558–1625), who became the organist at the St. Thomas Church in Leipzig. [3] [4] The latter's son and namesake, Andreas Düben, came to Sweden in 1620. [5] In 1625, Düben started serving as an organist at the German Church in Stockholm. [6]
Prominent figures in the family that were not musicians, but still with high-ranking positions include Emerentia von Düben, a lady-in-waiting and the favorite of Ulrika Eleonora, Queen of Sweden. [7] [8] Her nephew, Henrik Jakob von Düben, was Sweden's envoy to the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, [9] and the son of the latter, Anders Gustaf von Düben, was compelled to go into exile in 1833 after accompanying Gustav, Prince of Vasa. [4] A. G. von Düben's grandson, Edward Wilhelm von Düben, served as Sweden's vice-consul to Salina Cruz, Mexico. [10] He is the sole male ancestor of all living descendants with agnatic kinship.
Gustaf Düben, an organist and composer, contributed the most to the Düben collection, [12] which is now preserved at the Uppsala University Library. [13] The collection include pieces by renowned composer Dieterich Buxtehude. [14]
The Düben family was ennobled at the House of Nobility on four occasions. [5] In 1719, they were introduced with baronial rank (No. 135 & 139). [15] [16] In 1726, another branch of the family, with untitled noble rank (No. 1785). [17] In 1719, the Düben family (No. 80) were introduced with baronial rank. Then in 1743, they were introduced with comital rank. [18]
The Düben family, based in Landskrona, hosted Selma Lagerlöf during her work period as a teacher, [19] [20] an event that was later featured in a biography. In Gränna, Sweden, there is a local alcoholic company that honors its former resident, A. C. von Düben, by naming a punsch after him. [21]
