My Great-grandfather, Johann “Heinrich” Wilhelm Laemmlen, from Grossgartach had five children: Karl Albert “Heinrich,” Maria Paula, Hermann, Rudolf, and Paul Wilhelm.
Maria married Richard Wacker on 8 April 1820 in Grossgartach. In 1933, they acquired this home at the east end of Heilbronnerstrasse in Grossgartach and their two boys, Walter (1921-1943) and Heinz (1923-1945) were raised here. Both boys died in the war.


Here is the history of the home:
Built in 1883 by Schultheiss Schott.
Acquired in 1933 by Richard Wacker.
Occupied in 1985 by the Wilhelm Schütz Family. 
Here are photos of Onkel Richard’s home taken today:




Below are photos I took of the home in 2009:
