German Immigrants (Immigration to the
United States)


T
he year 1848 saw revolutions in many European countries, including Germany, as people sought political and religious freedoms.  Also that year, Wisconsin gained statehood.  And to the forests between Lake Michigan and Lake Winnebago in Wisconsin came German settlers from Schleswig-Holstein. They founded New Holstein in Calumet County.

Among those who arrived in the first decade were John Nicholas Lühr and his wife Anna Margaretha Groth Lühr, surname later Luehr. Their second son -- and first son born in America, on June 26, 1861 -- was William Henry Luehr.  A graduate of the University of Wisconsin, he became a well respected school teacher, principal, superintendent, editor and publisher, and later a Wisconsin state employee. He and his family lived in Grand Rapids (now Wisconsin Rapids), Manitowoc, Sheboygan Falls and in New Holstein. Here is a Luehr family sketch.
