During the 17th century, the Düben family exerted a significant influence on music at the Royal Court Orchestra, which experienced a golden age during those years.

[6] Prominent figures in the family that were not musicians, but still with high-ranking positions include Emerentia von Düben, a lady-in-waiting and the favorite of Ulrika Eleonora, Queen of Sweden.

[7][8] Her nephew, Henrik Jakob von Düben, was Sweden's envoy to the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth,[9] and the son of the latter, Anders Gustaf von Düben, was compelled to go into exile in 1833 after accompanying Gustav, Prince of Vasa.

[18] The Düben family, based in Landskrona, hosted Selma Lagerlöf during her work period as a teacher,[19][20] an event that was later featured in a biography.

In Gränna, Sweden, there is a local alcoholic company that honors its former resident, A. C. von Düben, by naming a punsch after him.
