Let me introduce other Schochenmaiers from our past:
Johannes Schochenmaier was born on 4th May 1719 in Heumaden to Johann and Christina Elisabetha Schochenmaier.
Johannes is notorious by spelling of his family name. I mean he's the first whose name was written SCHOCHENMAIER. The majority of actually living Schochenmaiers are bearing that version of the surname.
What about Heumaden? Where is it?
Today it's a part of Stuttgart:
Heumaden is a district of Stuttgart. It is located southeast of the city center and is the largest neighborhood in the borough Sillenbuch. The name comes from "Heu-" (in English: hay) plus "-mahd" (in English: mow); the coat of arms shows the crossed hayfork and the rake:
Do you remember the second theory of our family name's origin, when I speculated that "schochen+maier" could be an occupational name denoting "chiefs or heads of those who ricked /cocked or stacked/ the hay"? It doesn't prove anything, but as coincidence it's pretty interesting.
Herewith you'll find some nice pictures of that place:
In 1635 the plague raged in Heumaden. 86 persons died. In 1658 a school was established. In the French war of 1796 Heumaden was attacked and plundered seven times by Austria.
If Johannes Schochenmaier was born in 1719, so his father Johann Schochenmaier could be born between 1680s-90s.
In other archives, we may find out that Johannes got a brother a bit later: Johann Friderich Schochenmeyer who was born on 18th March 1721.
It's already another spelling!!!
However, it sounds strangely ... Father's name is Johann and his children names are Johannes and Johann Friderich. Maybe "Johann" was just an iterative part inherited from the father? And the second boy was Friderich.
Have you noticed that there is no Heumaden for the second son, just Stuttgart, if the archives would have reflected another level of the area...
So far for today...
