HAHN Ressearch
STORY: Evidently, when Napoleon entered Moscow in 1812, Georg Hein was living with his Hahn "cousins" . I'm not sure if their father was a general at the time or what his rank, but, Georg did refer to him as "the general". Anyway, he loved the Hahn home where they wore "caftans" [ robes], ate "glass appels" [the skin was so think one would see through it to the flesh of the apple which was very sweet] and there was no work to do but sit and let the servents do all the work. With him was his mother. At this time, his father was an officer and with Tsar Alexander I to whom he had pleged alliance after leaving Prussia which had signed a treaty with Napoleon, whom was called the "Anti-Christ". When the news came that the Russian troops were retreating into Moscow, there was great excitment because there was news that the Russains had defeated Napoleon at a place called "Borodino". But, the battle had been a draw and it was the Russians who were retreating and not the French. Soon, Napoleon was knocking at the Moscow city gates which were left wide open by the Russians who were leaving Moscow and retreating farther east. This had sent everyone in Moscow into a panick. Quickly, the Hahns and the Hein packed what they could and left Moscow. Georg remembered seeing the fire and smoke in the city as they left. Since the military had taken most of the horses and wagons to carry the wounded, they were left with only a few which pulled the heavily laden wagons and Georg, who was just 5 years old, was forced to walk next to his mother.
So, what have we learned about the von Hahn's. Only that they were "cousins" living in Moscow in 1812 and that the "cousins" father was in the military and at some point was or became a general of the Tsar's Army.
The following are possible Hahn or von Hahn families who lived in Moscow about this time period. Fortunately, one of the families has made a name for themselves through their military and the success of their wives who were authors. See Helen, nee von Hahn, Bl.

See pictoral web site on family. with Helena, nee von Hahn Blavatsky, as the subject: http://www.theosophycanada.com/bios/HPB_Bio.htm
NOTE: Said to be des. of Counts Hahn von Rottenstern-Hahn of Mecklenburg. This family has not been found by modern genealogists. According to family tales their branch of von Rottenstern became known as Hahn when he was awaken b a roaster which saved is life from his enemy. Note: I have also seen the name Rottenstern and Rottenstein.
On Wikipedia today I found an additional form of Rottenstern. Is is Rothenstern which connnects this branch to te Oesel's Hahn family: Hahn genannt Rothenstern". And they may be connected to the Hennebergs of Franconia.
Wikipedia writes: >>Preseumed....conection between the Hahn family in Mecklenburg and the families in Courland and Oesel is a coventional explanation of their caot of arms being identical to one another and vertually identical to that of the descendants of Echard Hahn.
Echard I, also known my his Latin name "Eggehardus Gallus" was refered in 1230 records as being a councilor and knight of the Duke of Johann I of Mecklenburg.<<
Book: Catherine to Khruschev (A. Giesinger), p. 14 to 16: . . . .
p. 14 "The Black Sea colonists were relatively fortunate in the kind of men that were appointed to govern them. While the Volga colonists recall with gratitude only Alexius von Fresse, head of the Saratov Kontor from 1843 to 1858, the Black Sea Germans remember as benefactors among others, Samuel Kontenius, Ivan Insov, and Eugen von Hahn. Kontenius, who has been mentioned earlier, served as Oberrichter of the Kontor in Ekaterinoslav from 1800 to 1818, and then till his death in 1830 as advisor to General Insov, the first president of the rsorgekomite.
p. 15 His sympathetic handling of the problems of the colonization period contributed greatly to the successful establishment of the German Black Sea colonies. Ivan Insov, head of the Fuersorgekomite till 1845, the "eternal Insov," as the colonists called him, was sympathetic to colonist problems, but grew neglectful in his later years, to the detriment of the colonies under his jurisdiction. Eugen von Hahn, a Baltic German who became acting head of the Committee in 1841 to relieve Insov and succeeded him in 1845, was an exceptionally effective leader, who revitalized local government, promoted better farming practices, and initiated improvements in the school system. Along with Kontenius, Hahn holds a place of special honor in the tradition of the Black Sea colonists."
