: : : Where does the surname 'luchow' originate from ?
: : Probably from Luchow, Germany. My ancestor was born there if I am correct.
: It is Prussian to be precise.
My grandfather's cousin was August Luchow, the man that started Luchow's restaurant in NYC in 1882. My grandfather and his brothers, each stayed with Mr. Luchow when they came to the US from Germany in the early 1900's.
