In the 4th Federal Assembly of West Germany Franz Hutsteiner from Munich, who was sent by the bavarian regional parliament, the Landtag, took part in the election of the german president, Heinrich Lübke, on 1st July 1964.
Hutsteiner was proposed by the Social Democratic Party SPD.
The family has two different branches with one Roman-Catholic and the other Lutheran/Protestant Religion, whereas the Catholics are originally mainly located around Bad Schwalbach and the Lutherans around the city of Dillenburg.
Members of the protestant family Huthstein(er) in Westphalia and Hesse originated around Dillenburg. According latest research all their known family members are descendants of Michael Hutsteiner who immigrated from Saxony along with his uncle Georg Hutsteiner.
There has been a place called ‚Hutstein‘ in the vicinity of the city of Limburg/Lahn, a location named like the one in Upper Austria, too, but there is no evidence that any Hutsteiner family was founded at this place as it has been the case in Austria.
The first noted ‘Hutstein’ found around this region is Peter Hutstein in the city of Geldern 1634, which can not be followed later on at the moment. Likely it has been a type mismatch error within his surname, either Hustein, which occurs often in neighbouring Netherlands, or Holstein.
In the whole area it was common to use ‚th‘ in the german word ‚Huth‘, thus most of the family members name is spelled as ‚Huthstein(er)‘.
Out of these families several members emigrated to the US with their descendants living there to present days.
Some of them could be found in the Netherlands, one in Australia and one emigrated ca. 1830 to Bristol/UK. Another one of them emigrated to Paris around 1820. It seems some of these emigrations happened due to the Napoleonic wars in Germany.
An existing legend about fled Huguenots from France could not be verified.
Two interesting findings about these families:
The catholic family line in Westphalia / Hesse-Nassau was founded by migrant Carl Hutsteiner from Budweis, Czech republic. He immigrated to Martinsthal around 1670. Martinsthal was part of the so called Rheingau, a county where socage and villeinage had been abolished. After the pestilence in 1670 Martinsthal consisted only of 59 houses with 130 inhabitants in 1671.
Carl Hutsteiner’s son Johann Adam Hutstein, who was born in Neuhäusel, Slovakia, became a shepherd and the forefather of the catholic line family members.
Another known member of the catholic line of Hutsteiners in Westphalia/Hessen-Nassau was Johann Adam’s son Philipp Jacob Hutstein, the forefather of a large family with generations of shepherds and one guy – Martin – who migrated to the UK years later after the Napoleonic wars. Philipp Jacob was a convert, i.e. he converted from Lutheran religion to Catholicism.
Carl Hutsteiner from Budweis, Czech republic, became the forefather of the catholic line of Westphalian-Hesse-Nassau Hutstein families. It is unclear why Carl left Budweis and obviously he headed for Neuhäusel in Hungary – nowadays Nove Zamky in Slovakia – first and then to Martinsthal in Hesse-Nassau. Likely he was a protestant who got problems in reconverted Budweis and with the start of the counter reformation in Hungary beginning 1671, he fled and became the second important exulant in our Hutsteiner history.
Beginning the 1670s he moved from Budweis resp. Neuhäusel to the Rheingau. A first child birth was recorded in the church records of Martinsthal in May 1672 (Andreas Hutsteiner). The record was written down in the catholic church records, but the book also covered protestant births at that time. Unfortunately it does not mention Carl’s confession.
The already known founder of all descendant families, Johann Adam Hutstein, was a son of Carl. His marriage is recorded in protestant church books of Dörsdorf, therefore we can assume that he and likely his father Carl was of protestant confession.
Johann Adam was born in Neuhäusel, i.e. calculated something between 1667 and 1671 due to the age of father Carl (*1649). Likely father Carl came to Neuhäusel after the Osmans conquered the city in 1664 and fled the region and moved to Hesse-Nassau around 1671 when the counter reformation started brutally in Hungary.
