Jürgen Schochenmeier passed away on Sunday 21, 2017

My relatives let me know that my great-uncle Jürgen (Georg) Schochenmeier died on Sunday 21, 2017 in the Eastern Germany. He was born on the 24th February 1941 in Odessa. He is brother of my grandma Johanna, here they stand together in the 1950s:



We didn't keep in touch a lot, but I always asked for news about him. He was saxophone player, emigrated to Germany in 1996. Here is he with his wife Galina in the end of 1960s or beginning of the 1970s:

Johann Christian Schochenmaier aka Family Guy

About Johann Christian there is a lot of info, so one post was not enough)

In the 1st part we got to know that he

- was born between 1724 and 1725;
- married in 1750 to Anna Margaretha Wolf (midwife from Weiler, daughter of the silk weaver);
- worked as Master of Cloth Manufactory within Workhouse in Ludwigsburg;
- died in 1799 because of pulmonary tuberculosis.

Let's puzzle out what kind of family man he had been.

First generation of descendents



1. Johann Christian Schochenmaier (1751-1751) 

First baby was boy who had been baptized as his father with the name of Johann Christian. At that time he was 27 years old.

 
By the way, you may read off that among the godfathers there is David Leonhard Vogt who was working as cloth-maker as well in the same Workhouse.

Johann Christian was born in March 16 but died in March 23 1751. He had lived for one week only.


2. Johann Friedrich Schochenmaier (1752-1752)


It seems to be that Johann Friedrich was still-born child for he was buried in June 17, 1752, so one day after his birth (16. June 1752). His father was 28 years old.




3. Johann Ernst Peter Schochenmaier (1753-1753)

On the 24th April 1753 Johann Ernst Peter was born. His father was 29 years old.



In two months on 21st June 1753 he died: 



4. Johann Christian Peter Schochenmaier (1754-1754)

On the 3rd May 1754 Johann Christian Peter was born. 


In 15 days he died on the 18th May 1754. His father was 30 years old. Amon the godfathers the first name is Johann Peter Rast - mint-master at Stuttgart who worked from 1746 to 1762 in the same manufactory. 




5. Johanna Juliana Barbara Schochenmaier (1755-1756)

First daughter was born on the 9th November 1755. Her father was 31 years old.



She died in three months on the 22nd February 1756: 



6. Immanuel Gottlieb Schochenmaier (1759-1834)


It seems to be that Immanuel Gottlieb could be the only baby boy who had survived and had a long life. His father was 35 years old when he had been born. There is a lot of information about him (once I've already posted about him - he is that Schochenmaier the Hatter who I wrote about two years ago). 

7. Wilhelmina Charlotta Schochenmaier (1762-????)

On the 19th August 1762 Wilhelmina Charlotta was born. Her father was 38 years old at that moment. 



It's pretty strange but no info when she died... 

8. Heinrica Carolina Schochenmaier (1765 - ????)

The last child and the last baby girl was born on the 18th March 1765. Her father was 41 years old.



No info about her death either, but it is for sure that she didn't die being baby because there are records concerning her marriage with the cooper and cellarman Christoph Ludwig Höllwarth from Ludwigsburg in 1785: 



They got two daughters: Catharina Gottliebin Höllwarth (1785-????)




and Carolina Heinrica Höllwarth (1789-????) 



The first girl got married to the cooper Christian Friedrich Mauerer (1786-????) from Botenheim (by Heilbronn) in August 1810: 



As you can see lots of children but just a few survived. 

Between three last babies of Johann Christian there are gaps of 3 years respectively, so it's probable that we may find other babies))) 

So far for today, love your children!!!
