Heinrich grew up in Londorf and Katherine in Kesselbach, both small villages near Giessen.

Heinrich's father had been a farmer and stone mason and Katherine's parents had been farmers as well.

They married on February 22, 1885 and lived as farmers in Londorf.

They had 4 daughters and one son. Their eldest daughter died when she was only 6 years old but the other children survived.

All three girls got married with a Karl! Elisabeth married Karl Appel and was therefore called the Appelstante (apple aunt). Wilhelmine, my greatgrandmother married Karl Wißner and Marie, the youngest married Karl Seipp.

Their son Wilhelm later took over the farm but also worked as a former. His wife was called Margarete.
