Introduction

This page collects Hildebrand family members in the Moselle, Hunsrück, Nahe and Saar regions of southwestern Germany - and others which might help to trace the origins of my Hildebrand ancestors.

My Hildebrand family tree starts with

Johann Daniel Hildebrand

My theory is that he is somehow connected to a long line of Hildebrand parsons, pharmacists, doctors, civil servants and teachers, from Swabia and Pomerania. This Free Space was created in order to collect information and sources.


Connection to my Family Tree

Johann Daniel Hildenbrand (~1693-1738)

Johann Daniel Hildebrand was born around 1693, calculated from a Standesamt certificate which states that he was 45 years old when he died in 1738. It is unclear when and where exactly Johann Daniel was born, as he seems to have appeared in Dhronecken in or shortly before 1731. He was described as being from Brabach (which was a small village right next to Dhronecken, given up during the 18. century OR now incorporated into the village). If he had been born there, too, there should be records of his birth or baptism in Thalfang but that is not the case, so he must have been born somewhere else. He is also not mentioned in church records of surrounding parishes.

Possible Parentage

Possible parents #1

Johann Daniel might be a son of Matthias Hildebrand and his wife Magdalena Leopoldi. Matthias was a pastor in Sötern, Bosen and Homburg. The pair is supposed to have had - amongst others - a son named Johann Daniel around 1693 but I haven't yet been able to detect a reliable source for this child.

Possible parents #2

Johann Daniel might also be identical with Johann Daniel Hildenbrand, born April 15th, 1695 in Herren-Sulzbach. If this is the case, he is a son of Johann Georg Daniel Hildenbrand and Juliana Elisabeth Römer from Grumbach. Johann Georg Daniel was "Amtsschultheiß" (a kind of mayor) in Grumbach.

Of course other couples could be the parents but these are the most probable ones I have found in the area as yet, judging from ana analysis of sponsorships in the family.


Sponsorships

The choice of godparents for Johann Daniel's grandchildren indicates a close relationship to the Hildenbrands from Ottweiler. This family was an extended group of pastors, doctors and bailiffs, spread over the whole area around Birkenfeld, Idar-Oberstein, Alzey and Saarbrücken.

Ludwig Abraham Hildebrand (a grandson of possible parents #1), pastor in Ottweiler and Niederlinxweiler, is mentioned as godfather of one of Johann Daniel's grandsons, also Carl Hildebrand's wife from Ottweiler for another grandson.

Through Ludwig Abraham's mother Friederika, a daughter of pastor Schneider from Thalfang, another connection existed to the parish Dhronecken belongs to.

And Johann Daniel's assumed uncle, Johannes Hildenbrand, was married to the daughter of a Dhronecken bailiff, Maria Friedrika Eckhard.

Furthermore, Johann Daniel was mentioned in Ottweiler church books. Underneath the baptism record for Johann Christian, born Oct 18, 1738, son of Wendel Hotzderber and his wife Maria Juliana Hildebrandt (a daughter of possible parents #1) from Ottweiler, there is another entry, in brackets:

"Der Wollenweber und Meyer Meister Daniel Hildenbrandt, 'Throneck' - +16.11.1738" (Translation: "The wool weaver and mayor, master Daniel Hildenbrandt, Dhronecken")

which seems to be his death record. The fact that he is mentioned in this church book makes it probable that he is related to Maria Juliana and also came from the Ottweiler area.

Obviously Johann Daniel's origins must lie somewhere in this family. Both Dhronecken and Grumbach were the seats of the local counts, the "Wild- und Rheingrafen". Interactions between officials of the two courts thus would have been frequent. Maybe he was given the post as "Meyer" in Dhronecken due to his family's good relations with the Count.

Life of Johann Daniel

Johann Daniel married Johanna Catharina Morlang before 1731. This might have been what brought him to Dhronecken, as Johanna lived there. She was daughter of a miller who might or might not have come from Weiler Martinstein (around 30km from Herren-Sulzbach). They had at least one son, Georg Leopold, who lived in Dhronecken.

In 1736 Johann Daniel became mayor of Dhronecken, until his death.

Johann Daniel died on Christmas 1738, at the age of 45 years (at least that is what is said in the sources, it was probably an estimation). Ottweiler church books, though, mention Nov 16, 1738 as his death date.

The Swabia-Pomerania Connection

Jodokus Hiltebrandt I

Jodokus is the as yet earliest known ancestor of the Waldsee-Stargard-Hiltebrandts. Jodokus was born before 1510 or maybe even earlier. He was a "Ratsverwandter" (member of the local council) in Waldsee in Swabia which then belonged to Austria but was a fiefdom of the truchsesses of Waldburg.

Emperor Karl V. bestowed on him a coat of arms patent on 23 June 1530, for himself and his bloodline. Not much more is known about Jodokus. He was married to Rosina Pickelhaub or Beckelhaub, and they had a son called Jodokus, born around 1530.

Jodokus Hiltebrandt II

Jodokus was around 1530 in Waldsee. Quite early he left his home and migrated to the north of what was later Germany and settled in Stettin. Here he worked as court pharmacist for the Duke of Pomerania and married Margarete, daughter of council member Nikolaus Hohenholz. He passed away on 11 Sep 1577.

Andreas Hiltebrandt

Andreas was court pharmacist, council member and senator in Stettin. He married Margaretha Hademar or Hademer, daughter of Ambrosius Hademer, mayor of Stettin. He had several sons:

  • Andreas, doctor of medicine,
  • Ambrosius, doctor of the law,
  • Friedrich, pharmacist in Nürnberg,
  • Jodocus, council member and churchwarden in Stettin,
  • Wilhelm, pharmacist in his father's office.

Ambrosius Hiltebrandt I

Ambrosius was a legal advisor, doctor of the law and court advocate in Stettin. He married Anna Christina Pauls, daughter of Elias Pauls, doctor of the law and council member. He had three sons:

Conrad Jacob Hiltebrandt

Conrad was first pastor in Bahn and married to Concordia Böttcher, daughter of Thomas Böttcher, mayor in Falkenburg, and Maria Bando. He also was the author of a travel book about his travels to Siebenbürgen, Ukraine and Constantinopel from 1656 to 1658. Children:

Gustav Adolph Hiltebrandt

Gustav Adolph followed his ancestors' path and also became a parson. He was born in Stargard in 1632.

Gustav Adolph married Elisabeth Ursula Schragmüller, daughter of Johann Konrad Schragmüller, professor for physics and philosophy at the University of Marburg and parson in Speyer, and Barbara Katharina Scheibler.

Children:

From 1659 to 1673 Gustav Adolph was first diacon in Speyer St. Augustin, coming from Heidelberg. From 1673 to 1689 he was parson in St. Georgen in Speyer. He fled to Lußheim, Heidelberg and Frankfurt/Main. From 1690 he was parson and inspector in Sankt Goar where he passed away in 1695.

In 1674 he published "Neu-Eröffneter Anmuthiger Bilder Schatz, Inn Theologischen, Moralischen Historischen, Politischen, Chim- und Alchimistischen Erläuterungen, Allen Sinn- und Weißheit Liebenden zur Lustigen Beschawung" which can be accessed digitally (see profile).

Jodocus Andreas Hiltebrandt

Jodocus Andreas was born on 19 Jan 1667 in Bahn, Pomerania. He left to us an extensive curriculum vitae, detailling all his ancestors and their professional life as far as they were known to him. Jodocus Andreas was arch-diacon in Stargard.

He married Ursula Bievenest, widow of Christian Schmieden, in 1694 (?). Children were

  • Concordia Elisabetha who married Peter Schmidt, priest in Butterfelde, Bitenitz and Clemtzo near Königsberg

  • Sophia Elisabetha, married Amandus Lezevow, pastor in Dobberphul und Görick,
  • Maria Elisabetha, married 1727 Christian Daniel Höpfner, priest in Cölpin and surrounding area,
  • Dorothea Elisabetha, married 12 Apr 1731 Hieronimus Heidermann, pastor in Colberg, then married Andreas Peter Hecker

Jodocus Andreas married a third time, Maria Elisabetha Mackeno, widow of Friedrich Redteln, on 27 May 1722.

He passed away on 02 Oct 1746, 79 years, 8 months and 13 days old. He had six children, 26 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren.
