Looking for the Ludwig/Schneider Family... House 385, Lenauheim
Before World War II, a Schwab named
Johann LUDWIG owned a house in Lenauheim. Apparently he died
during the war in a car accident, being buried in the local
Lenauheim cemetery. Some old chaps in the village say that his
wife Maria Ludwig (born Schneider) fled with their only daughter as
the German army was retreating. They say that the final destination
of the two women was probably USA.
Their house was nationalized after the war, was used by communists
as headquarters for several agricultural enterprises and after 1989
was vandalized. Today the house is owned by a Mr. Muresan, who
bought it from state in 1999. There is no name atop the gable.
The house was built around 1925, so it's relatively new in
comparison to the older homes.
Mr. Muresan pays respect to Johann Ludwig's burial place, but he
can't be sure if it's the right grave, as there is no obelisk left
with his name. Mr. Muresan and his son Valentin would like to
get in contact with Mr. Ludwig's descendants if they are still
alive.
Researching passenger records,
I've located what seems to be the last Ludwig's to immigrate from
Lenauheim.
