Offenburg is first mentioned historically in the year 1100. However, it was probably founded sometime before the year 900 by the dukes of Zahnngen. The city became a free city within the Holy Roman Empire in 1240. The city walls were built in that year.
Portions of the walls still remain, forming a beautiful city park.
The landscape of Offenburg includes the foothills of the Black Forest and the Rhine Plane.
Vineyards and forests cover the hillsides. Offenburg is 25 km from Strasbourg (France).
The city has a population of about 55,000.
25 Miles From Strasbourg, France
During the Pfalz War of Succession in 1689, Offenburg was burned by French troops. The Kapuzinerkloster survived the fire, making it the oldest building in the city.
Heilig Kreuz (Holy Cross) parish church was built after the fire in 1689, but not completed until the 18th century. The Olberg dates from 1524, and is a treasured monument on the church square.
Offenburg Catholic parish is very old. It has a 17th century book of military personnel, strangers, and foreigners which primarily includes Swedish, Weimar, French, and Croat soldiers.
From 1556 until 1803, Offenburg was controlled by Austria. In 1803, jurisdiction was transferred to the Grand Duke of Baden.
Offenburg was the center of the Baden Revolution (1847-1848). A freedom festival is held in September of each year.
The Ritterhaus Museum holds local and regional items, archeological discoveries, and natural and cultural exhibits. The Fischmarkt features a fountain with decorative lions.
Offenburg is the seat of government for Ortenaukreis, but also serves as a regional center for commerce and education. Electronics and metal works are important industries. Tourism is also important to the local economy, as well as wine making.

Wedding Certificate of Anton Ziegler and Catherine Bimmerle
Although it is not known where in Baden the family came from, they had spoken of seeing the famous clock in the cathedral of Strasbourg, which seemed to indicate they lived fairly close. They were as much French as German and their region had once been part of Alsace. (Erlach is about 20 miles from Strasbourg across the Rhine).
Erlach is 20 Miles From Strasbourg, France

Anton and Katherine had seven children in Germany, but the twin girls and a girl and boy died under the age of three.
Anton sailed with his wife and three remaining children from LeHavre bound for New York. However, due to bad weather, the ship was blown off course and landed in New Orleans on Jan 27, 1852, after 4 weeks on the ocean.
The two youngest children died on the ship.
They planned to settle near Cincinnati because a relative had come there earlier, who was married to a Schott. The Schott family owned Coney Island, a famous amusement park in Cincinnati.
Two brothers of Anton: Wendell (who was unmarried) and another (name unknown), were said to have emigrated at the same time.
The other brother was never heard from again.
Wendell went to California to participate in the gold rush. He later returned & told of finding gold, then went back & died under mysterious circumstances.
Anton & family started up the Mississippi by river boat, but there was a storm & fire & they had to return to New Orleans to start over.
A boy was born on the river boat, but died soon after. He was buried at Petersburg, in Boone County, KY. Anthony Raymond, was born the next year, 1853.
Not liking KY after 2 years, Anton moved his family across the river to either Indiana or Ohio. There he worked in a gravel pit but a cave-in occurred.
Then he bought a farm of 400-500 acres in Dearborn County near Lawrenceburg, Indiana.
They had no water when they arrived at their home site, and they had to make coffee from the water in a hollow tree stump.
Eventually Anton and Katherine (now known as Kate) had 5 more sons, including twin boys, Frank and Charles.
Tragically they too died at the age of three. Anton had been to town to buy rat poison and while he was putting the team of horses away, the boys found it.
Anton and Maria “Kate” Ziegler had a total of 13 children, but only four survived past childhood: one girl and three boys. The 3 surviving brothers married the 3 Wilhelm sisters who lived nearby. The oldest surviving brother, Anthony Raymond, married Veronica Wilhelm, who died after giving birth to their six children. Then Anthony married Caroline Reusch within a year, and had 8 more children, including Raymond B. Ziegler.
They all lived on adjoining farms probably divided from the original homestead.
Kate’s brother, Bernhard Bimmerle, had also emigrated as well as their mother, and they, too, lived nearby.
Anton died at home on his farm, after he asked that his bed be moved near the window so he could watch the sunset for the last time on his beautiful land and orchards.
“It is a saga of incredible hardship and heartbreak. Yet they clung to their deep faith, eventually prospered, and survived to old age.”

In the 1940's, about half of their land was taken by condemnation, so that a levee for flood control could be built. Later, a Seagram’s Distillery plant was built on part of the property that had been taken, causing much bitterness. They sold another parcel to build the public high school.
About 1900, Carrie persuaded her husband to move from their farm in the country into Lawrenceburg so the children could go to Catholic school. They bought 100 acres there, and their home at 524 Front St. was a large, square brick house with barn & outbuildings in back, dropping steeply to the farmland below, but unfortunately it was in the floodplain of the nearby Ohio River. The floods of 1927 and 1937 came up to their 2nd story of the house, and all the furniture downstairs that could not be moved upstairs was ruined, including a piano.
Copy of photograph found at the Ziegler home in Lawrenceburg at the time of its sale, after the deaths of all of the family. This is probably the home of Anthony R. Ziegler at “Sand Run”, the original homestead.
Uncles Frank and Bill ran the farm, and Aunt Nettie sold milk and cheese, and kept house. Uncle Joe spent many years at the state hospital at Madison doing farm work there. Aunt Ceil, the youngest, returned home after her husband died and WWII ended, and was employed as an executive secretary at Schenley Distillery. These four kept the farm and house going for many years.
There was no indoor plumbing until after the war, and everything was done in the “old way”. Uncle Frank never owned a tractor and continued to farm with a team of horses. We were there at least once during the threshing when men came from all around to help, and a huge dinner was prepared at noon. It was truly the end of an era.”

“Our family visited Lawrenceburg nearly every summer during these years and Dad helped in the fields with the uncles. As the only children in the family at the time, we were fussed over by all the aunts & uncles, including Aunt Rose & Uncle Otto Wellcamp, who lived nearby in Aurora. It was a great treat for my brother & me to ride in the hay wagon, play in the barn or ride horseback.
“I don’t remember hearing much about Grandfather Anthony, except that he was very stern and expected the children to work hard from a very early age, while Carrie tried to be more lenient.”
--- MCK 2002
Carrie was an invalid for a number of years before her death at age 67. She died of lung congestion and paraplegia. The unmarried children continued to live at the home.

Rosa Ringman died from a kidney disorder shortly after giving birth to their second son, Eddie. Although they lived in Indiana, Edward put his sick wife on a train to a better hospital in Cincinnati, probably because he couldn’t get away from the grocery store to travel with her. She died there.
Edward John Schlichte was in the grocery business in Cincinnati prior to 1893. He worked for the Langdon-Creasy Co. and was a personal friend of the much more successful grocer, Ben Kroger. Edward moved to Connersville, Indiana in 1893, where he lived with his wife, Rosa.
Edward then married Ellen Bernadette Heeb about three years later. They took the two boys with them on their honeymoon to Atlantic City. They had 8 more children.

In east central Indiana, Connersville lies in the beautiful Whitewater Valley amidst rich, rolling farmland, 60 miles from Indianapolis, Dayton, and Cincinnati.
Connersville boasts a strong business heritage dating back to John Conners’ first trading post in 1805.
Connersville has a comfortable lifestyle, friendly people, and easy access to the big city without all the big city hassles.
After the turn of the century, Connersville plunged headlong into the automobile era. Between 1905 and 1937, ten different automobiles were built there, but in 1937, 3000 cars were built.
There is now a broad range of manufacturers there, from farming to furniture, toys, and musical instruments.
The pioneers who settled Connersville in the early 1800’s brought strong faith and religious beliefs, as reflected in the stately and historic houses of worship. Faith is a big part of community life in Connersville.
More than 50 churches represent all major denominations.
Habitats for Humanity offers another venue for fellowship in the community. The community Sharing Foundation, a local food pantry, and the Salvation Army provide opportunity for service.
Local congregations participate in an “Adopt A School” program to provide volunteers, tutors, and role models for young students.
