Die Wehlburg 
at Wehdel The Germans

There are not many Wehlburgs left in Germany. This seems strange after 558 years but can be easily explained. The Wehlburgs were proper farmers, and the thing a young Wehlburg wanted most in his life was a farm of his own. As only the youngest son inherited the farm, the other sons looked for farms elsewhere. Often they succeeded by marrying a farmers widow or daughter with a farm, after which they changed their name to the name of the farm, as was the custom of the day. This meant that only the heirs of "Die Wehlburg" carried the name Wehlburg.
At present the Wehlburg family in Germany consists of:
