Biography

Christophe Jung was the son of Nicolas Jung and Barbe Baccus. He was born in Brouviller and baptized in Lixheim on 12 December 1733.^[1] Christophe, like his father, worked as a laborer in Brouviller.

Christophe married Anne Marie Jung, his second cousin (through great-grandparents Oury Jung and Anne Schwartz) on 15 February 1756.^[2] The couple remained in Brouviller and became the parents of:

1. Jacques Jacob (1757)
2. Marguerite (1759)
3. Marie-Magdalene (1761)
4. Joseph (1763)
5. Marie-Barbe (1765)
6. Catherine (1766)
7. Christophe (1768-1769)
8. Nicolas (1770)
9. Anne Marie (1773)
10. Christophe (1775)
11. Therese (1776)
12. Appoline (1776)
13. Antoine (1779)

At some point between 1770 and 1773, Christophe became mayor of Brouviller, a position that had previously been held by his grandfather and great-grandfather. Christophe remained mayor through Antoine's birth in 1779, becoming a municipal magistrate at some later point. He held the latter position until his death.

In the Cahier de Doleances de Brouviller, published in April 1789, Christophe is named as président,^[3] likely reflecting his role as magistrate.^[4]

Christophe passed away in Brouviller on 21 August 1790, at the age of 56.^[5]
