Biography

Jacob was born before or on 22 December 1593, the day of his baptism, in Dettingen an der Erms near Urach, Duchy of Württemberg. He was the son of Jerg Handel Berlin and his wife Anna (Rebmann) Handel Berlin from Dettingen an der Erms.^[1] The large number of families with the surname Handel in Dettingen an der Erms and the small spectrum of first names used at that time had already made it necessary since the beginning of church records in 1554 that additional designations such as Schweizlin, Rechlin and Berlin were used as house names for the various lines of the Handel family in order to enable a distinction between persons with the same name. With the house name "Berlin" one assumes that this derives from the designation for "Bär" (bear).^[2]

Jacob married Katharina, the daughter of Conrad Schöll from Metzingen near Reutlingen, Duchy of Württemberg, on 7 November 1615 in Dettingen an der Erms.^[3]
The couple lived in Dettingen an der Erms. Their children were:
