Where Joachim Luhn originally came from is not sufficiently documented. He probably studied painting in the Netherlands, and possibly in Rome, supposedly at Adriaen Backer. Since 1668 he was resident in Hamburg and in 1672 he stayed in Braunschweig, where he worked for Duke Anton Ulrich there, as well as in Salzdahlum and Wolfenbüttel. In 1673 he received the citizenship of Hamburg and was registered as a painter on 18 March 1673. In the same year he married Hanna Margarethe, whose father Jacob Mathias Weyer was known as a painter of battles. Register extracts from this period can prove that Luhn was not a native of Hamburg. The couple had a daughter who married the Brunswick court painter Tobias Querfurt in 1691. [2]

From 1689 to 1693 he worked together with Johann Oswald Harms and his son-in-law Tobias at the castle, which is now extinct, and which is no longer in existence today. He received further commissions from the region's prince, including those from Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorf, but remained until the end of his life in Hamburg. From 1692 to 1708 he took over the office of the elderly painter.
