The Nachrichten über die Religionsausübung zu Damme, Wallenhorst, Wiedenbrück, Bersenbrück und Oesede (=Reports on Religious Practices in Damme, Wallenhorst, Wiedenbrück, Bersenbrück, and Oesede), collected during the years 1646 to 1648, mention besides sexton Conradus Kollenberg, the following farm operators: Ludeke Rotgeri, Herman Redeker, Johan Hornischemeyer, Christoffer Kollenberge, Tepe Wulff, Johan Dawe, Lüdeke Meyer, and Jürgen Spreye are mentioned.^[1]

On 31 March 1652, Easter Sunday, Ludike Rotgeri, his wife, and his mother went to receive Easter Communion in the catholic church St. Alexander in Wallenhorst.^[2]

Also in 1652, Ludike Rotgers was mentioned in the main tax register of Wallenhorst bailiwick together with other inhabitants of the farm:^[3]

• Ludike Rotgers (= himself)
• Frauw (= his wife)
• a widow.

In 1663/1664, only 15 years after the end of the Thirty Years War, the Habsburg Monarchy under the rule of Emperor Leopold I found itself embroiled in the Austro-Turkish War (Türkenkrieg).^[4] This conflict arose due to tensions in Transylvania and escalated when the Ottoman Grand Vizier Köprülü Fazıl Ahmed Paşa invaded Habsburg territories.^[4] To support the war effort, additional taxes were imposed on the subjects, including those in Wallenhorst, which was then under the administration of Prince-Bishop Ernst August von Braunschweig-Lüneburg. Therefore, a Hebungsregister was created to list all individuals and the amounts they were required to pay, and in 1663 Ludike Rotger was mentioned in the Hebungsregister des Türkenschatzes, having to pay 2 Thlr, 5 ß.^[5]

Lüdike Röttger was a rider in the Thirty Years War.^[6] At the age of 42, he was still mentioned in the 1664 conscription list for Wallenhorst parish and considered as suitable for further service.^[6]

On 14 November 1666 Lucke Rotgers and Cord Burmeister (abt.1644-1706) became marital witnesses to the marriage of Johan Heideman and Anna Hüwelmeyer in St. Alexander, Wallenhorst.^[7]

In 1668 Lütke Rotert was mentioned in the revised tax register of Amt Iburg, Wallenhorst parish, as paying 6 ß in tax.^[8]

On 2 October 1690 Luca Rotgeri became a marital witness when Lucas Meyer zu Wallenhorst married Anna Margaretha Klumpe in St. Alexander, Wallenhorst.^[9]
