What is "raudenbusch"

Raudenbusch is a surname of German origin. Its variants in the United States include Roudabush, Roudebush, and Ruebush.

According to genealogists, the earliest person to whom the Raudenbusch lines can be traced is Hans Peter, who had been born prior to 1600 and continued to operate a flour mill throughout the Thirty Years War. For this, the Kurpfalz Government paid homage to him by giving him the towns' mill. Hans Peter Raudenbusch died October 17, 1657 in Reihen, Baden-Württemberg. The mill is still in continuous use today (2008).
