II.1.2 Hutsteiner lodge

In Breitenberg there is still existing an original old Hutsteiner home. a small house built in 1777 which nowadays accommodates a weaver craftmanship museum.

You may visit the Hutsteiner lodge there:

It was home to the family of descendants of Georg Hutsteiner in Ungarsteig, Breitenberg, who had been working as weavers.

II.1.3 Hutstein Atzing

II.1.3 Hutstein Atzing

 

Another important place for all HUTSTEIN families around Vilshofen is Atzing.

Three Brothers set up 3 family lines from there, which I’m calling the Vilshofen, Anleng and Unterthannet line due to their major setup locations:

Their father Johann Baptist Hutstein had a beer pub called ‘Straubinger Wirt’, which still does exist, but unfortunately not within our family.

beer consumption at the Straubinger Wirt in 1882

Old books with records about the amount of delivery of beer from local breweries are still existing in private hands.

The location there is really beautiful and the restaurant ready for events – probably a good location for a family reunion party in future ?

16 children

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.

castle Ortenburg nowadays

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.
