(12) FRIEDERICH SCHEUERLE
b. 3/15/1804 
chr. 3/18  Hausen an der Zaber
married MARIE GERTRAUD ANNA KAROLINA HEYER/HAIER/HEER, abt. 1830, probably in Calw
children: Carl Friedrich (~Weiss), August, Margaretha Friederike, Carl Jacob (~Ruehle), Friedrich Julius (~Springer), PAUL HEINRICH SCHEUERLE (~HEHL, ~Ehrenfels), Theodore Herman (~Hofer)

The Scheuerle family originates from the small town of Hausen an der Zaber (i.e., on the Zaber river), now part of the small city of Brackenheim, near Heilbronn. Brackenheim has been the center of German viticulture for many centuries, and the majority of the Scheuerles probably worked in the vineyards. Friederich's mother, Johanna Eisenmann, died in Hausen in 1816, leaving his father with at least four young children (including Friederich, age 12). Probably, he moved the whole family soon afterwards to the Black Forest town of Calw, where his brother Daniel lived.

Friederich Scheuerle, born just before the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire and in the midst of the tumult of the Napoleonic Wars, married Maria Gertraud Anna Karolina Haier/Heyer/Heer around 1830, and the couple moved to Metzingen, another major center of viticulture, at some point in the early 1830's.


N.B.  My identification of Friederich Scheuerle of Hausen an der Zaber as the father of Paul Scheuerle and the husband of Marie Heyer/Haier is the result of a process of elimination, in which I isolated all known Scheuerles and Scheuerlens with a first or middle name of Friedrich in the regions north, west, and the immediate south of Stuttgart born between 1785 and 1815, and proceeded by eliminating all those with known death or marriage dates before 1839 (the last certain year of birth of a child of Friederich and Marie).

I was not able to do this to my satisfaction; by these criteria, for example, there is at least one other candidate: Friedrich Scheuerle of Altbach, who was born in 1789 and married Eva Rosina Frick in 1821. Eva gave birth to several of his children between 1821 and 1828, and nothing more is heard of them. It is conceivable that this Friedrich Scheuerle remarried, to Marie Heyer, around 1830 (their first child was born in 1831). But that would be merely speculation.

What has convinced me that Friederich of Hausen is our man is the fact that Friedrich and Marie's children were baptized in the Black Forest village of Calw. As they apparently made their home in Metzingen, they must have had a family connection to Calw to travel 30 miles to baptize their children (this was before trains came to Wurttemberg). The only Scheuerles in Calw in the century before 1830 were the family of Daniel Scheuerle (formerly of Hausen) and Christiana Wohlgemuth (of Calw); they married there in 1789, and their children were all born there. Thus the Scheuerles of Hausen were the only Scheuerles with any sort of connection to Calw.
