I am searching for the parents and siblings of Karl Hartwig born abt 1825 near Berlin, Germany, died 1891 Wriezen. Karl's wife was Lena Goethe. Children were Louise b. 1852, Herman died 1855, Karl, Auguste, Anna, Garoline, and Gustav Charles b. 1863 Friedland. Karl Hartwig owned a hotel or inn in Wriezen. Karl's will identifies his children in 1891 as Louise married to restaurnet owner Felton in Wriezen, Herman a watchmaker in Wriezen, Carl a construction technitian in Berlin, Auguste, married a farmowner Diervitz in Buchholz by Straufsberg, Anna married locksmith Tesch of Wriezen, Karoline ,Miss of Wriezen and Gustav homeowner in What Cheer, State of Iowa, North America.
According to Gustav Charles Hartwig his father Karl was one of 13 or 14 children. He was first a farmer then inn keeper. He was at one time mayor of the town.
Gustav Charles was taken to a ship embarking from Russia to the US. He went to work for his uncle in Chicago as a Pharmacist. (Name of the uncle unknown)
A letter from Elsie Hartwig and her sister in December of 1950 (daughter's of Herman) related to the family that "we now have no more relatives here in Wriezen as the aunts are all dead and the cousins did not return from the war." Karl Hartwig jr's son Helmet was living in Berlin during the war and working as a teacher. His son Ernest sent a message to the family that his father passed away in the late 40's or early 50's. At that time his address was Nav Kalla-DoSersFr 144 Germany W. Berlin. Last letter received in 1952. Ernest had at least one daughter.
The inn belonging to Karl Hartwig of Wriezen was standing until WWII when it was bombed and only a small part remained standing where the two sisters were living in 1952.
Does anyone have any knowledge regarding the ancestors or descendants of Karl or Lena Goethe Hartwig?
The names of some of these places may not be correct. The letters were written in German and were later translated to English.
