About the family-chronicle and the Riebeling-ancestor homes In the 'Gült - und Güterregister' (index of taxes for rented or self owned Land) of the county Ziegenhain of the years 1360-1367 [1], which only contains a few names, no Riebeling is still named. This also applies to the list of 'Gülten und Renten' (list of taxes and rents) of 1448, payable in the county Ziegenhain [2]. One of the oldest, up to now known proof of the name Riebeling, is located in the index of the payable interests, rents and 'Gülten' in the county Ziegenhain (with Treysa) of the year 1464 [3], in which the due on 'Rybelins Koden' in the village Czelle (today: Zella) is shown (see also SCHOOF 1958). Within the three years later prepared country-tax-register of the court Ziegenhain [4] four taxable predecessors are contained, namely Rybelyn der Alde in Czelle, Henne Rybelin in Loshausen and Hartmann as well as Gele Rybelin in Ascherode. Priest Ruetz (1968) came to the assumption "that the origin of the under Zella named Riebeling will be rightly in Gungelshausen" after analysing lists of those who were authorized to use the local forest in this time and later wrote name-registers. The hint on Rybelins farm of 1464 and the simultaneous appearance of the name in different, and nearby located villages lets suppose that already at that time Riebelings in this area were resident since longer time. The following copies of the two early documents about the name Riebeling are originating from photocopies, which were made in one go with genealogical researches by friendly authorization of the state archives Marburg.

It follows the names 'Henne Steynhart' and 'Smid Henne' in that recording of the 'Salbuch'; family names often used for and in Gungelshausen. In an list about the earnings of the cloister Haina, that was produced at
1532, by the state of 1526, by monks of the cloister who escaped the reformation
[5], a 'Hentze Ribel' from Gungelshausen appears with the fruit-interests
due (farm-tax) in the department Treysa. In the 'Salbuch' of city and department
Ziegenhain 1555 [6] the surname appears just five times in
the places Ziegenhain, Niedergrenzebach, Zella and Michelsberg. From the five in the 'Geschlechterbuch' described ancestral homes out of
the Schwalmarea the already named ancestral home Riebeling 1 from Gungelshausen,
whos history could be traced back most extensive, has a special importance.
Many descendants just live today in the area of Ziegenhain, in the north and
south of the country 'Hessen' as well as in other countries of Germany and in
the U.S.A.. The ancestor of the third ancestral home of 'Dorheim-Schlierbach' appears
1749 as godfather for the first time in Dorheim. The descendants live today
mostly in the north of the country 'Hessen', at the rivers 'Lahn' and 'Main',
in the country 'Saarland', in the region 'Westerwald' and in the countrys North
Rhine-Westphalia as well as Mecklenburg. In the 'Hessisches Geschlechterbuch 19' are contained only the ancestral
homes who were united in the family-association at the time of the publication
of the 'Geschlechterbuch'. Here, as Priest Ruetz (1972) investigated, you have
"quite different ancestral lines of Riebeling or Rübeling from the
Schwalm, whose connection among each other could not be determined surely, occasionally
it will hardly probable". The ancestor Frederick Julian Daniel Riebeling of the Riebeling-ancestral
home in Australia, was born 1857 in Berlin. The contexts with Riebelings of
the Schwalm are presently in exploration. The finding and evaluation of further
archival Sources from most earliest time and the track down of possible connections
between the ancestral homes also will be in future times one of the main tasks
of our ancestral researches. Progress in the preparation of old documents and
improved possibilities of the access through electronic data processing in the
archives will facilitate such work. In the 19. Century long before the painters- and artists-colony in the village 'Worpswede' was founded, in the village Willingshausen a well known painter-colony was established. Important works about the charming landscape were created here, pictures about the very striking farmer-faces and their colorful official dress and the rural life in this area. Also pictures of our predecessors, like for example the bride-leader Johann Riebeling and Anne Kathrin Orth in the festive traditional costumes or the picture of the Conductor Magnus Riebeling from Willingshausen (GB p. 28) created by Gerhard von Reutern and the Communion-picture with priest Konrad Riebeling from Merzhausen (GB p. 113) from Carl Bantzer. Also known is the later originated, very impressive picture 'Dorfälteste' (Village-oldest persons) from Walter Waentig, that shows the great-granddaughter of Magnus Riebeling Elisabeth Ermel, born Riebeling (GB p. 32) from Willingshausen. In case of his distinctive character-head Bernhard Rübeling (GB p. 240) was painted by the artist 'Giebel'.
