Notes on the KNEIPP Family from Winkel, Germany.
(Kneipp Family History - http://www.halenet.com.au/~jvbryant/kneipp3.html)
Kneipp "Roots" are to be found along a small
section of the Rhine river in Germany. Vineyards and wineries are still
flourishing amid this picturesque district, which lies between the Rhine river
and the Taunus Mountains.
Johann, the first KNEIPP in this line to come to
Australia, lived in the small village of Winkel. Frau Derstroff-kneipp and her
son (as yet not linked into the Family Tree) still operate a Weingut in Winkel.
John Kneipp's grandfather, Franz (1827), and his
ancestors lived in Hallgarten . A quote made by a family member is that
"one never moves away from the sight of one's Church Spire".
John KNEIPP was christened "Johann
Baptist" in the Village Church of St. Walburges. He was the fifth child of
Wendal Jakob and Anna Maria (nee Lowe). His older brother was also called
Johann, but he only lived a few years. As was common in those days the son born
after the death of an older brother carried the name of his deceased sibling.
This may account for the Kneipp legend that John took his brother's name to
escape Military Service prior to migrating to Australia.
John's mother's family lived at Mittelheum, also in
the district.
Johann was the fourth child of Wendal Jakob Kneipp
and Mary Ann Louwin
In Australia Johann was known as "John"
and he married Caroline UTZ daughter of Johann Frederick Utz and Fredericke
Silberberg. She was born on the 18th August 1842, possibly at Stuttgart, in
Germany and died on the 23rd August 1924, at "Craigieburn", Glen
Innes, New South Wales, Australia.
Caroline had one brother, Jonathan Frederick Utz, who
migrated with her on the "Sophie" arriving in 1860.
Fred, as he was known, was a well-known business
man in Glen Innes, and was Mayor of the town from 1881 to 1884, during this
time, the railway was opened. He was president of the P & A Association in
1984, 1985 & 1986.
They had a half-sister Elizabeth Fredericka
KELBERER, daughter of their mother and her second husband John Kelberer, who
arrived with her parents aboard the "Undine" on 12 February, 1855.
