Alsenz

Genealogy

The Bruch family in Alsenz was founded by a Nickel Bruch, who was a cooper. I suggest that Nickel was likely the son of Ulrich Bruch of Ellweiler.

Nickel Bruch (Ulrich, Thomas, Jacob), born about 1650, was probably the eldest son of Ulrich. When Nickel first appears in the historical record as a baptismal sponsor, he is described as being from Ellweiler, strongly suggesting that he was Ulrich’s son. Though he had connections to both Ulrich and Hans’s families, the Ellweiler references argue in favor of Ulrich being his father, as does the instance of a Friedrich Bruch being described as his brother (see below). Nickel married Anna Maria Winkenbacher, daughter of Hans of Wolfersweiler, 13 Apr 1675.[1] Nickel moved to Wolfersweiler where he had the following children:

  1. Maria Catharina: bap. 5 May 1676 (sponsors were Maria Geiss of Gimbweiler; Matthes Bruch of Ellweiler; Catharina Baum of Mosberg)[2]
  2. Hans Michel: bap. 19 Jun 1680 (sponsors were Johannes Müller, Schultheiss [of Wolfersweiler]; Michael Bruch of Richweiler; Sophia [prob. Bruch], [wife of] Hans Welsch of Langenbach [see also baptismal sponsorship of Friedrich]);[3] probably m(1). Johanna Margretha Schworm, daughter of Wentz, the Pfalz-Zweibrücken Schultheiss, 26 Nov 1715 in Alsenz;[4] m(2). Anna Catharina, daughter of the late Mattheis D[?] of Wonsheim[?], 1727;[5] d. 30 Jan 1734; bur. 1 Feb 1734 in Alsenz[6]

Nickel sponsored the following baptisms while living in Ellweiler or Wolfersweiler:

  1. Hans Nickel Brenner, son of Johannes and Barbel of Ellweiler, on 19 Jan 1674[7]
  2. Eva, daughter of Johannes [Schwab?] and Margretha of Dambach, on 4 Feb 1675[8]
  3. Hans Nickel Bruch, son of Michael Bruch and Elisabetha of Richweiler, on 22 Apr 1676[9]

Anna Maria sponsored the following baptism in Wolfersweiler:

  1. Anna Lies Bungert, daughter of Jacob and Margretha (Bruch), on 14 Mar 1675[10]

There is no mention of anyone in Nickel’s family group after the birth of Hans Michael in 1680, suggesting that the family migrated. It is highly probable that he moved to the village of Alsenz. There is no explicit mention of the origins of Nickel Bruch of Alsenz, but there are many coincidences between Nickel of Wolfersweiler and Nickel of Alsenz, leading to the likely conclusion that they are the same person. Nickel of Alsenz first appears in the Alsenz records in 1685. He is married to an Anna Maria, just like Nickel of Wolfersweiler. In 1685, Nickel has a daughter whose baptismal sponsor is Friedrich Bruch, described as a single journeyman, or bachelor (“lodiger gesell”), and brother of the child’s father. Nickel of Wolfersweiler did indeed have a younger brother named Friedrich. Friedrich also disappears from the Wolfersweiler records in 1683, so he could have left during his journeyman period. Nickel Bruch of Alsenz was a cooper, and though there is never an indication of Nickel of Wolfersweiler’s occupation, he came from a family of coopers. Nickel Bruch of Alsenz had a son named Michael who, based on his age at death, was born in 1680. Nickel of Wolfersweiler had a son Michael born in 1680. When Nickel Bruch of Alsenz died in 1703, his age suggests that he was born in November 1650, which falls within the range of possible dates of birth for Nickel of Wolfersweiler.

The large number of coincidences makes a very strong case that Nickel of Wolfersweiler moved to Alsenz with his family between the birth of Michael in 1680 and the birth of Anna Esther in 1685. Although we do not have an explicit mention of him emigrating, as in the case of his younger brother Matthes, it seems likely that he did leave considering there is not a single mention of anyone in his immediate family after 1680 in the Wolfersweiler records.

The fact that Nickel’s son Michael Bruch later had connections to at least one of the members of the Bruch families of Zweibrücken might suggest that the Alsenz family instead came from Zweibrücken. However, these contacts start many years after Nickel died and only occur once one or two members of that family moved to the region around Meisenheim. It seems unlikely that Michael, who was at most five when the family settled in Alsenz, would have remembered or maintained connections to his father’s family. The connections to Zweibrücken can be explained by the proximity of Meisenheim to Alsenz and perhaps a bond forged by the curiosity of a common surname. Therefore, I argue that the Nickel Bruch of Alsenz was most likely the Nickel Bruch of Wolfersweiler, and I include the Alsenz Bruch family among his descendants.

In Alsenz, Nickel Bruch was described as a cooper and later became a Gerichtsschöffe, per his death record and the marriage record of his son Michael.

The following children were born to Nickel Bruch and Anna Maria of Alsenz:

  1. Anna Esther: b. 8 Mar 1685 in Alsenz; bap. 21 Mar 1685 (sponsors were Friedrich Bruch, the father’s brother; Anna Esther Becker, daughter of Wenz);[11] d. 1 Apr 1685; bur. 2 Apr 1685[12]
  2. Wilhelm Ludwig: b. 13 Mar 1689 in Alsenz; bap. 19 Mar 1689 (sponsors were Wilhelm Ludwig Becker; Rebecca, daughter of Sebastian Baum)[13]

Nickel Bruch sponsored the following baptisms in Alsenz:

  1. Johann Carl Becker, son of Wilhelm Ludwig and Maria Apollonia, on 21 Nov 1686. He is described as a cooper.[14]
  2. Johann Ludwig Rapp, son of Hans Peter and Anna Catharina, on 28 Oct 1690[15]
  3. Johann Hermann Winold, son of Friedrich Otto and Apollonia, on 8 Jan 1696 (with Anna Maria)[16]
  4. Johann Caspar Schick, son of Johann Peter and Anna Angelica, on 26 Jul 1702[17]

Anna Maria sponsored the following baptisms in Alsenz:

  1. Johann Hermann Winold, son of Friedrich Otto and Apollonia, on 8 Jan 1696 (with Nickel)[18]
  2. Johann Sebastian Schworm, son of Wentz and Rebecca, on 13 Feb 1697[19]

Nickel Bruch died 23 Apr 1703, age 52 years and 6 months.[20]

Second Generation

Michael Bruch (Nickel, Ulrich, Thomas, Jacob) was a cooper in Alsenz per most of the records in which he appears. He is described as a master cooper in the baptismal record of his son Heinrich in 1730. In his death record, he was also described as a beer brewer.

Interestingly, Michael had connections to two other Bruch men who, seemingly, were not related to him. Johann Paul Bruch was an officer in the regiment of Prince Maximilian of Hessen-Cassel. He served as a baptismal sponsor for two of Michael’s children. Balthasar Bruch, a pharmacist of Meisenheim, served as a baptismal sponsor with Paul on one of those occasions. Balthasar was a scion of the Zweibrücken Bruch families and it would make sense if Paul, an officer, was from that well-connected family as well. Balthasar does not seem to have lived in Meisenheim until the 1730 at the earliest, so Michael would only have become acquainted with him later in life. Therefore, it seems unlikely that Michael was related to Balthasar, but perhaps met and bonded over their common surname. As a beer brewer, Michael may have had business in nearby Meisenheim, perhaps even with Balthasar the pharmacist.

Michael first married Johanna Margretha Schworm, who was the daughter of Wentz Schworm, the Pfalz-Zweibrucken Schultheiss. They had the following children, the first born less than nine months after their marriage:

  1. Friedrich Ludwig: b. 20 Apr 1716; bap. 24 Apr 1716 (sponsors were Wilhelm Ludwig Bruch, the child’s father’s brother; Maria Margretha, wife of Johann Velten Gauch);[21] d. 24 Jun 1717; bur. 25 Jun 1717[22]
  2. Sebastian: b. 11 Feb 1718; bap. 16 Feb 1718 (sponsors were Sebastian Schworm, the butcher, the child’s mother’s brother; Anna Esther, daughter of Johann Velten Rapp);[23] m(1). Anna Esther Linn, daughter of Philip, 30 Jan 1742;[24] m(2). Anna Maria Gauch, abt 1752; d. 25 Jan 1791; bur. 28 Jan 1791[25]
  3. Johann Jacob: b. 10 May 1720; bap. 17 May 1720 (sponsors were Johann Hermann Winold; Johann Jacob Schaffer[?]; Anna Otilia, wife of the miller Johann Georg Matthias);[26] d. 4 Jul 1723; bur. 6 Jul 1723[27]
  4. Rebecca: b. 24 Dec 1722; bap. 30 Dec 1722 (sponsors were Johann Paul Bruch, Captain in the Hessen-Cassel “Maximilian” Regiment;[28] and Frau Rebecca Schworm, the child’s grandmother);[29] d. 8 Sep 1723; bur. 10 Sep 1723[30]

Johanna Margretha died on 2 Apr 1723 and was buried on the 4th, age 28.[31] Michael then married Anna Catharina, daughter of Mattheis [?]. The marriage record appears to indicate that she was from Wonsheim [spelled ‘Wohnsheim’]. There is no date, but the record just before it was from May and the record right after is from November.[32] It does seem that they were married after the birth of their first child, Johann Jacob. Indeed, he was described as illegitimate in his baptismal record.  

  1. Johann Jacob: b. 17 May 1727; bap. 24 May 1727 (sponsors were Johann Jacob Faber, master cooper; [illegible]);[33] d. 12 Sep 1727; bur. 13 Sep 1727[34]
  2. Johann Adam: b. 4 Aug 1728; bap. 13 Aug 1728 (sponsors were Adam Roll; Johanna Elisabetha…)[35]
  3. Johann Heinrich: b. 4 May 1730; bap. 6 May 1730 (sponsors were Heinrich Schworm, master tailor; Anna Catharina, his wife)[36]
  4. Johann Balthasar: b. 22 Oct 1731; bap. 26 Oct 1731 (sponsors were Johann Paul Bruch, Captain…in Hessen; Balthasar Bruch, citizen and pharmacist of Meisenheim; Catharina, his wife);[37] m. Maria Elisabetha Weinkauff, 12 Jun 1753[38]

Michael Bruch died 30 Jan 1734 and was buried 1 Feb.[39]

Third Generation

Sebastian Bruch (Michael, Nickel, Ulrich, Thomas, Jacob) was a cooper in Alsenz. In later records, he is described as “Herrschaftlichen Küffer[meister],” suggesting he held an official office. The marriage record of his son Carl indicates that he was also a beer brewer. He first married Anna Esther Linn and had the following children:

  1. Catharina Philippina: b. 9 Nov 1743; bap. 12 Nov 1743 (sponsors were Philip Lauer, the Gerichts; Andreas Durst and his wife Catharina);[40] d. 14 Jun 1747; bur. 16 Jun 1747[41]

Anna Esther Linn died 4 Jan 1753 and was buried two days later, age 28.[49] Sebastian then married Anna Maria Gauch. There does not seem to be a record of their marriage. Her maiden name was given in the baptismal record of their son Friedrich in 1759. Sebastian and Anna Maria had the following children:

  1. Anna Rebecca: b. 21 Jan 1754; bap. 25 Jan 1754 (sponsors were Johannes Gauch and his wife Anna Rebecca);[50] m. Johann Adam May, son of Adam May, church elder and court administrator, 23 Mar 1773[51]
