emporbuehne
in reply to a message by Anon.
Empor is a gallery
Buehne (usually spelled with umlauts instead of an e) refers to a theatrical stage
So my guess is Emporbuehne would mean a gallery stage.

I guess Buehne is here used in the sense of 'Geruest, Gebaelk', because it specifically means a wooden gallery inside a church with additional seating area for the congregation ('Empore').
Not a likely source for a surname but I suppose nothing is impossible...
