Early Junkers Family History

The history of the Junkers family could be traced back until the 16th century. In the early 16th century the Family was located at Schaan in Liechtenstein. In 1647 the Family moved from Schaan to Juechen near Dusseldorf and later to Monchengladbach.

The early Junkers family worked as farm workers at Rheydt, a small village between Monchengladbach, Dusseldorf and Aachen. The first company of the Junkers family, a textile manufacturing company, was founded in 1818 by Johann Peter Junkers (1793-1853), the grandfather of Hugo Junkers. This textile company became the backbone of the Junkers family and it was continued by the father of Hugo Junkers and was also later continued by a brother of Hugo Junkers until the 20th century.
