In Breitenberg there is still existing an original old Hutsteiner home. a small house built in 1777 which nowadays accommodates a weaver craftmanship museum.
Karl Baptist Hutstein, the youngest of the Hutstein brothers from Atzing, settled in the hamlet of Anleng in the parish of Uttlau. He founded a large family with 16 children with his wife Therese Erndl.
Karl Baptist Hutstein, one of the Hutstein brothers from Atzing, parish Beutelsbach, who moved to Anleng, parish Uttlau, had 16 children with his wife Therese.
Nowadays we are wondering about this number of children. 16 children is quite a lot and at that time 16 had been a lot, too, but to have 10 and more children was not so unusual. In another family I counted even 24 children.
But the unusual thing here is that the 16 children were given birth by his first and only wife Therese and most of them survived their childhood in a time when child mortality was still high.
Joseph Hutstein settled in Unterthannet, a village close to the market Ortenburg. Some time he was working in Vorderschloß a settlement in the direct vicinity of the castle of Ortenburg where he met his wife Karolina Eglseder.
Later, in 1893 he bought at an auction the farm in Unterthannet, which was publicly known as the ‘Langsepp’ farm.
There are family legends that Joseph was quite a wealthy man due to the fact that he, together with some friends, bought a steam engine for threshing grain. During the first world war he invested in war bonds and lost most of his money.
