Today I'd like to start a post about the churches wherein our ancestors possibly had gone. But let's do it in chronological way. It will be consisting of three parts: churches of the Schochenmaiers in Germany, Russia and North America.
Let's start with Germany. As I know in what church books the earliest Schochenmaiers are to be found I may admit they had been members of those churches.
First, we visit the city of Ludwigsburg where we can track our ancestors (4 generations!!!) back from 1710s to 1820s.
Then we should visit the Evangelical church of Kornwestheim (Martinskirche):
Let's move to Stuttgart. You should visit the Protestant Old Church in Heumaden (a locality of Stuttgart), Baden-Württemberg. Built in 1499, it is one of the most important attractions of Heumaden. More than a tourist spot, the church serves as the local parish and is often visited by the residents of the district. We can stumble upon the Johann Christian Schochenmaier here in the 1720s.
Now let's fly to the West near France where you can find the family of Martin and Barbara Schochenmaier in the 1730s:
Church of Wittendorf:
Church of Kork (Kehl):
Church of Linx:
Church of Rheinbischofsheim:
And the last sights seeing for today will be Heilbronn where a big family of Carl August Schochenmaier had lived in the beginning of the 19th century. Here we go to the Nikolai Church:
Next time we will visit the churches of the 19th century in the South Russia, Black Sea Germans (today's Ukraine).

The city church in Ludwigsburg was built in the Baroque style in the years 1718-1726. This makes it the oldest church in the heart of the city of Ludwigsburg, which itself arose only after the construction of the Royal Palace. So the year 1704 is considered the founding year of the city.
