Germany's Connector's Challenge August 2022: Philosophers

+10 votes
786 views

Hello hello,

it's the Germany Project calling again. This month I want to highlight some philosophers who aren't yet connected to the Big Tree. So here we go...

The earliest one is Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. (Pre-1700-badge is needed to work on him)

Then we have Arthur Schopenhauer,

the next one is Martin Heidegger (Connected! Thanks Burkhard for finding the line and creating the profiles)

and last but not least is Jürgen Habermas. The profile of his mother is now open. (Connected! Thanks Daniel and Flo)

Heidegger is done

Florian, I am having some trouble following the Wikitree+ links you have posted. I get a report for Habermas, but 0 search result for Leibniz and Schopenhauer
by Steve Thomas G2G6 Pilot (122k points)
Looks like the unconnected tree IDs change over time. Take these instead and click on the unconnected tree link on the right side yourself:

Schopenhauer:

Leibniz

Thanks Florian. Your recommendation works.

My main interest was to test whether the links work or not. I don't mind searching a bit. My warning is that the small bumps in the road can seem like brick walls if you are new to the Wikitree system.

Jürgen Habermas can be changed to connected. Thanks to Florian for helping me with this one!

Heidegger's wife is from Leisnig, Saxony: https://martinheideggerbiography.com/biographies-1916-1923/

I'm also trying to find something about Friedrich Caesar, the doctor, who is the father of "Heidegger's" second child Hermann, but he's not even in the city directory in Freiburg for 1946

There is an available line from Heidegger to the Tree:

Starting at his father Friedrich Heidegger,

father Martin Hedegger https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/KKSL-D22

mother Cäcilie Hossbein https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/GWPP-1QP

father Martin Hossbein https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/MC2Q-V8Y

son William Joseph Hosbein https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/LJ25-CW8

to son Aloysius Benedick Hosbein https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/MC2Q-KJS who is connected here.

Who wants to create those profiles?

Thanks to Burkhard Hermann for finding this link.

by Jelena Eckstädt G2G Astronaut (1.5m points)
The profiles are created. The connection is established.

Many thanks to Jelena for the sources.

Good job, the two of you did there.

I added the grandfather of Jürgen Habermas. The biographies of Jürgen's father and grandfather can still be expanded from their respective Wikipedia articles.

Great, this would be manageable! If only we could get access to the Großen-Buseck OFB, connecting Habermas should be a piece of cake...

I'm running another attempt now scanning the whole Asslar family book, maybe there's an even shorter way. Although creating 13 basic profiles would be piece of cake that's doable in an hour or something.

I could ask at https://discourse.genealogy.net for somebody who has Großen-Busecker Familienbuch, but I'm unsure which question to ask.
by Florian Straub G2G6 Pilot (200k points)
I have contacted the author of the OFB. Maybe he can help.

Wenn das nicht hilft, versuche ich es hier: https://forum.ahnenforschung.net/showthread.php?p=520061#post520061

by Daniel Bamberger G2G6 Mach 2 (26.3k points)

The author (Hanno Müller) says he is forwarding my request to someone from the Heimatkundlichen Arbeitskreis Buseck e. V., which sounds promising. If successful, I will just purchase the OFB there for myself (my interest in it goes beyond this challenge).

46 degrees from Queen Elizabeth II, and 44 degrees from Kevin Bacon.

And 50 from me wink

Good job. I hope the Großen-Buseck family book will be useful to you. Thanks

by Florian Straub G2G6 Pilot (200k points)
LOL! The Lotz-family in Aßlar is really closely related to me. I gotta check the connection to Habermas

Edit: I have the name "Bamberger" in Aßlar in the late 1600s in my other online tree as well.

Schopenhauer. I've spent roughly an hour browsing around in https://www.geni.com/family-tree/index/6000000030938931851 and found four people surnames that at one point show up there as well (with no visible overlap, of course):

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Lehn-130

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Wahl-1523

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Von_Riesen-28

Interesting is, that he leads to the Schumann family, with which Fahrenheit, from last month's challenge, also is related. Maybe we should create some of those and try to connect them.

Could anyone help me with the correct location for Danzig before 1793? I found Polnisch-Preußen or Königlich Preußen, but I am not too sure about that.
by Manuela Thiele G2G6 Mach 1 (15.3k points)

According to the German Wikipedia-entry, it should be "Hansestadt Danzig, Polen-LItauen".

Leibniz. Will try to work on his nephew when I have some spare time middle of the month. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich_Simon_Loeffler  

(This afternoon I go with the family for a coffee and swim in the little lake in his father‘s hometown Altenberg:–)

by Florian Straub G2G6 Pilot (200k points)
I saw that document as well. As there are at the moment only very few primary sources online for Saxony, I´m right now a little bit discouraged to work on that profiles...
by Manuela Thiele G2G6 Mach 1 (15.3k points)
Maybe via https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Scherl-2 - he is supposed to somehow belong to that family
by Florian Straub G2G6 Pilot (200k points)

What about Anna Margaretha Beck (*1785). She was born in Bistum Eichstätt and to be related to https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaspar_Achatius_Beck

He married a daughter of https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Philipp_Slevogt , whose wife was a daughter of https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georg_G%C3%B6tze (whom I've found clicking around starting at Leibnitz)

Update: I might have accidentally clicked to some "learned at" link instead of family, sorry :(
