. Joherr or Jaherr translate as yes-man, Joch or Jauch stay for the synonymous however and seem to be a shift of the former. 1512 Jorge, Matthes and Nickel Jauch, being presumed to be their sons, were registered as propertied men (Besessene Männer) in Bergsulza. Görge Jauch (1606–1675) was burgomaster
of Sulza. In the 17th century Sulza has been twice devastated, 1613 by a flood disaster (Thüringer Sintflut) and 1640 when it was plundered by Swedish troops. This may have been the motive for Johann Christian Jauch (1638–1718) to relocate to Güstrow

at its residence Güstrow castle. He was a member of the ducal household of Magdalena Sibylle, née Duchess of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorf, wife of Gustav Adolph, Duke of Mecklenburg-Güstrow
, until he became 1669 First Valet de chambre
(Erster Lacquay und Taffeldecker) of Crown Prince Carl of Mecklenburg-Güstrow
. 1665 he married Ingeborg Nicolai (†1696), who had come to Güstrow with the duchess Magdalena Sibylle from Gottorf Castle, serving her as lady's maid
and confidant. The social rank of a servant at these times mirrored the lordship − the higher the lordship, the better the opportunities for the servant to reach a prestigious position himself. A ducal valet de chambre ranked in Mecklenburg-Güstrow
equal to The Very Reverend, thus allowing the lordship to demonstrate its own rank. Suitably the first daughters of Johann Christian and Ingeborg Jauch married peers. Catharina Elisabeth Jauch (1671–1736) married the later colonel and architect of King August the Strong, Johann Christoph von Naumann, her sister Juliana Agnesa Jauch (1673–1712) married Baron (Freiherr
) Johann Rudolf von Schmiedel, Saxon district governor (Amtshauptmann) and councillor of the board of domains (Landkammerrat), their son being Baron Johann Rudolf von Schmiedel, Hofmarschall
of the extravagant Ernest Augustus I, Duke of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach

1688 Crown Prince Carl died. Johann Christian Jauch quit the service and became burgher of the city of Güstrow, dealing at retail and being a court shoemaker, purveyor to the ducal family. His eldest son Johann Christopher Jauch (1669–1725) had been a stipendiary of the duke and became 1694 court chaplain (Hof- und Schlossprediger). After the death of the last Duke of Mecklenburg-Güstrow, Gustav Adolph, in 1695 the dukedom of Mecklenburg-Güstrow
became extinct. Though duchess Magdalena Sibylla maintained a small court until 1718 the residence Güstrow lost its splendour and relevance. Moreover Ingeborg Jauch had already died. Therefore, almost all family members left Güstrow 1696 and turned to Lüneburg
.
. At Lüneburg Johann Christopher Jauch (1669–1725) was Royal British and Electoral Brunswick-Lüneburg
Dean
of the Lutheran churches (Königlich Großbritannischer und Kurfürstlich Braunschweig-Lüneburgischer Stadtsuperintendent) at St. John's Church, Lüneburg

at the same place. Her uncle was the predecessor of Johann Christopher Jauch and great-grandson of Philipp Melanchthon

of the Cathedral of Bardowick, Friedrich August Jauch (1741–1796), son of the imperial civil law notary
Adolph Jauch (1705–1758), was senator and police governor of the city of Hannover.
Carl Jauch (1680–1755), merchant in Lüneburg
, has been a supporter of the theologian, alchemist and physician Johann Conrad Dippel
, by some authors debatably claimed to be the model for Mary Shelley's
novel "Frankenstein
". After Dippel's expulsion from Denmark
1727 Carl Jauch gave shelter to the refugee who was 1729 expelled from Lüneburg, too. Carl Jauch was married to a grandnice of the Lübeck

and served as court chaplain for Christiane Eberhardine of Brandenburg-Bayreuth

Some members of the family followed Major General Joachim Daniel von Jauch

Further progenies rank among the "Buddenbrook-nobility". This denotation traces back to Thomas Mann's
novel Buddenbrooks
which won Mann the Nobel Prize in Literature
in 1929. The city where the Buddenbrook family lives shares so many of its street names and other details with Mann's hometown of Lübeck
that the identification is perfect, although Mann carefully avoids explicit pronunciation of the name throughout the novel. In spite of this fact, many German readers, in particular such from Lübeck, and critics attacked Mann for writing about the "dirty laundry" of his hometown and his own family. However, for a long time that what had been attacked in the past was later regarded being an ennoblement. Those who have a close or distant relative, who has been portrayed in the Buddenbrooks, are counted among the "Buddenbrook-nobility". Great-granddaughter Henriette Charlotte Harms (1842–1928) married the senator of Lübeck Johann Fehling (1835–1893), nephew of the chemist Hermann von Fehling
. He was a grandson of the poet Emanuel Geibel
(in the novel Jean Jacques Hoffstede), brother of the mayor of Lübeck Emil Ferdinand Fehling (Dr. Moritz Hagenström) und brother-in-law of the mayor of Lübeck Heinrich Theodor Behn (Bürgermeister Kaspar Oeverdieck). Their daughter Emilie Charlotte Adele Fehling (1865–1890) married the novelist Lieutenant Bernhard von Hindenburg, brother of the Field Marshal und President of Germany Paul von Hindenburg
.
Luise Jauch (1885–1933) was head nurse at The Magic Mountain
at Davos
, the second famous novel of Thomas Mann, when his wife Katia Mann stood there 1912. Luise Jauch's traits have been utilized for the novel's head nurse Adritacia von Mylendonk.
Further descendants are SS-Gruppenführer
and Generalleutnant der Waffen-SS Karl Fischer von Treuenfeld
(1885–1946), inter alia commander of the escalade of Prague's Ss. Cyril and Methodius Cathedral
after the Operation Anthropoid
. His daughter Hannelore von Treuenfeld (1921–2007) married Karl-Wilhelm Count Finck von Finckenstein
.
1699 Franz Jürgen Jauch and his brother Christian Jauch the younger († 1720) served an apprenticeship as merchant in Hamburg
. 1752 the merchant Joachim Daniel Jauch (1714–1795) moved his business from Lüneburg
to Hamburg. Lt. Johann Georg Jauch (1727–1799) kidnapped 1754 Anna Mutzenbecher, daughter of the Secretary of State
of Hamburg Magnifizenz Johann Baptista Mutzenbecher (1691–1759), member of one of Hamburg's leading families and married her. Under Johann Christian Jauch senior (1765–1855), son of Johann Georg Jauch, the Jauchs became the most important and wealthiest wood traders of Hamburg who reached great burghership of the town. Thus they became members of the ruling class, the Hanseatics
(Hanseaten) in one of the wealthiest cities of Germany, with whose financial capacity only Vienna
could compete because of the local high nobility concentrating there and its wealth.
Christian Jauch's sons were founders of the three still existing branches of the family: Wellingsbüttel, Schönhagen und Fernsicht. His great-grandnephew was Ludwig Gümbel (1874–1923), naval archtitect and significant for the upgrowth of submarine
s in World War I
, cousin of first president
of the Federal Republic of Germany Theodor Heuss
.
His eldest son Johann Christian Jauch junior (1802–1880) acquired the Manor house
Wellingsbüttel
, before domicile of His Serene Highness the penultimate Duke of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Beck, Friedrich Karl Ludwig
, ancestor of the modern-day British royal family
. In addition to his land he leased the Duvenstedt swamps for hunting, which is today Hamburg's largest nature reserve
. Alongside his home in Hamburg he erected a deer park and a cage for the bears he brought with himself from his voyages to Russia
. 1863 he was a patron of the international agricultural exhibition
on the Heiligengeistfeld
.
His son Carl Jauch (1828–1888) was Lord of Wellingsbüttel
, too. He married Louise von Plessen (1827–1875), daughter of the Grand Ducal Mecklenburg
Governor
(Großherzoglich Mecklenburgischen Oberlanddrost) Ulrich von Plessen und great-granddaughter of Baron (Reichsfreiherr) Seneca von Gelting (1715–1786), who was married to a nice of Johannes Thedens
and had become highly wealthy as chargé d'affaires
of the Dutch East India Company
in Cirebon
. His grandfather Diederich Brodersen (1640–1717), ancestor of today's Jauchs of the Wellingsbüttel branch is also an ancestor to the composer Johannes Brahms
. Because of this marriage the earliest notable ancestor is Helmoldus I de Huckelem, documented 1097 and connecting the Wellingsbüttel branch to numerous prominent other descendants of inter alia the von Plessen, von Moltke und von Oertzen families.
