SURNAME WETZLAR -When our ancestors took a surname, they may have taken a place name. There is a city called Wetzlar which is presently in the Lahn-Dill-Kreis (Dist.), Hesse, Germany. No one knows when the first human settlement occured. It has been established that the "Bankeramiker", people who are from what is called the Linear Pottery culture, which the experts have given the time line as 5500-4500 BC, lived in this area. People ;oved here through the Romans times under Emperor Augustus (27 BC-14 AD) to the time a Celtic or Franki named the village "Wetzlar in the 200s. The Frankonian Count Gebhard ruled the area. His son was King Conrad I of East Francia. It is said in 897 the Duke of Lorraine consecrated a Church of the Savior in Wetzlar. Frederick I "Barbarossa, House of Hohenstaufen (1152-1190) , made Wetzler a Imperial Free City. The main commerical road passed through Wetzlar. The town developed the production of iron, wool and tanning. A false emperor known as "Tile Kolup (Dietrich Holzschuh), claimed the title and the citizens of Wetzlar captured him and his sentence was caried out under the order the the rightful king Rudolph I (r.1271-1291). He was burned at the statke. By 1250 the wooden fence had been replaced with stone and became a fortifcation. In the 1300s the population was about 6,000. Due to various feuds the city fell into debt and in 1387 was incorporated into the Swabian League of Towns. The Thirty Years' War (1618 - 1648) caused the town's decline of the population to a mere 1,500. In 1689 the Holy Roman Emprie's highest court "Reichskammergericht" was moved from Speyer , which had been devastasted by the French, to Wetzlar. Somehow, one of our ancestors, a man from Wetzlar, survied the battles, the famine, the diseases and the religious strife because one of his descendant's wife ended up in Gaertringen / Boblingen, Wu giving birth in Feb. of 1771. I do not known when our family became Protestants but we know they were by 1771. |
