I can find more evidence for an adjectival meaning ("from Lübeck") as in

so perhaps the person who created the entry was influenced by "Lubish" beer? Kiwima (talk) 05:12, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

Well, I am the guilty party. I vaguely remember this, and the source was old and obscure, so much so that I cannot find it now. I'd say just remove it. Leasnam (talk) 06:10, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

Could this be the source? The noun appears to be the unit of coinage. Lübiish being used to denote that this referred to a money of account rather than actual coin. My understanding is that in German adjectives can precede or follow the noun, further confusing the the English speaker.
