'Kuefer' or better 'Küfer' with (u umlaut) is not to be mixed up with
'Käufer' (=buyer). Küfer is the German equivalent of English 'cooper'
(cellarman).
Low German, which did not experience the Old high German consonant
shift, has the word 'Küp(p)er', which is even closer to the English.

My dictionary, says "Kiefer" means Scotch pine.

According to my resources, Kuefer means "cooper, or cellarmann".
You probably did not find it in your dictionary because it usually is
written without the "e". Two dots are written above the "u" indicating
an "e" follows the "u".
Hope this helps you.
P.S.: For basics in English you may want to see website:

According to my research material (which is quite extensive), kuefer
means "cooper or cellarman". You probably did not find it because it is
written kufer but then has the two dots above the "u" indicating an "e"
follows the "u".
Glad I could help.

Hi Laura,
Kuefer (or Kufer with Umlaut) is another name for Boettcher, used in
the west/southwest of Germany.(+Swiss)
The Kuefer (or Boettcher, Faßbinder, Binder, Kuebler) makes barrels, i
think the english word is cooper.
Hope that helps

Kuefer = Boettcher = cooper
Greetings Joerg.

Laura,
A Kuefer was or is a member of a very noble guild/profession.
He is or was a skilled wood craftsman who created wooden (mostly oaken)
barrels to be used for storing beer or wine.
Maybe someone told you this already.
PASHOSHI
to the best of my knowledge, my mom's knowledge and a very old dictionary,
Keufer means a person who makes barrels. Keufe is a barrel
hope i could help a bit

And it's "Kufe", not "Keufe" or "Kuefe".

My mother's maiden name was Kiefer and I found that this definition
did go with the definition "wine-keeper". Does someone know if the
names Kuefer and Kiefer are of similar origin? Also...does the name
Cooper relate to these names? Thank you.
