Johannes  Zimmermann
Born February 21, 1797 in (Balderwegenhof) Wittental, Baden, Germany
Son of Jacob Zimmermann and Anna Maria König
Brother of Maria Zimmermann
Husband of Anna Maria Schneider — married  [date unknown] [location unknown]
Father of John Zimmerman, Christian Zimmerman, Jacob Zimmerman, Barbara Zimmerman, Joseph Zimmerman and Isaac Zimmerman
Died after 1870 in Clinton County, Indiana, USA [uncertain]

Biography

Johannes Zimmermann was born 21 Feb. 1797 at the Balderwegen estate adjoining the village of Wittental, now part of the Stegen municipality near Freiburg in southwestern Germany. He was son of Jacob Zimmermann and Anna Maria König, as shown in his 1836 home-right certificate (see below). Jacob the father was co-leaseholder at the Balderwegen estate with Christian König, who was married to Maria Zimmermann. It seems likely that Christian König was brother to Jacob Zimmermann’s wife, and/or that Jacob Zimmermann was brother to Christian König’s wife, as Christian König was later named as a "relative" and guardian of Johannes Zimmermann.

Johannes Zimmermann’s parents were both dead by 1813 (as shown by the 1813 death certificate of his sister Maria), perhaps well before then.[1]

Anna Maria Schneider was born at Durmenac, Haut-Rhin, daughter of Jacob Schneider and Elisabeth Stauffer. The 1822 Hegenheim birth record of her son gives Anna Maria’s age as 21, but later records show that she was ten years older.[2]

All of the following information comes from a report prepared by German genealogist Friedrich Wollmershäuser and published in Mehr Zimmermans, by John and Corrine Afton (Benton, Kansas, 2002), pp. 15-29. This book is a detailed genealogy of the descendants of Johannes Zimmermann and Anna Maria Schneider.

Johannes Zimmermann and Anna Maria Schneider were married later in 1822 at Munzingen, Baden. The marriage ceremony was performed by Jacob Zimmermann of Munzingen, leader of the Amish congregation in this area. After his marriage, Johannes Zimmermann leased a farm in Lörrach through 1834, where four of his children were born. He then lived at Tulingen for two years (per an 1842 statement by Johannes Zimmermann’s eldest son Johannes).

Johannes obtains a home-right certificate[3]

In 1836 Johannes Zimmermann leased a dairy farm at Grenzach. As part of the process of relocating, he had to obtain a home-right certificate from the community where he had been born. His birthplace, Baldenweger estate, had been attached to the neighboring village of Wittental for administrative purposes. Accordingly, he applied for and received a certificate, dated 31 June 1836, which read as follows:

“Home-right certificate, issued by the Wittental community council for Johann Zimmermann, 39, who wants to move to Grenzach where he has leased a dairy estate, son of Jakob Zimmermann and Anna Maria König. Constitution: 5 shoes (feet) 5 inches tall, lengthy figure, healthy shape and brown colour of face, yellow (probably blond) hair, low forehead, brown eyebrows, grey eyes, long nose, broad mouth, strong beard, pointed chin, white teeth. Signature of the bearer. Remark: this certificate is only issued, because his father was tenant on the Baldenweg farm in the dominion of Count Sickingen, which location was not part of Wittental then. According to a decision of 09.12.1828, the guardianship (Vormundschaft) lies at the Mennonites at Munzingen.”

The last sentence refers to the obligation of a community to care for indigent members. The Mennonites took care of their own poor, but the Wittental community had recently been burdened with the care of Johannes Zimmerman’s sister Magdalena, who had left the Mennonite faith. The Wittental council refused to acknowledge home-right for Johannes Zimmerman’s wife and children, probably because there was no official record of his marriage, which was to a foreigner as well.

Home-right certificates for the wife and children: Johannes Zimmermann versus the Wittental authorities

Starting in 1841, Johannes Zimmermann attempted to get home-right certificates issued at Wittental for his wife and children. This seems to have been prompted by the fact that eldest son Johannes was now of age to be conscripted into the army. The Wittental authorities did not want to issue the requested home-right certificates, “for finally so many Mennonites may sneak into our little community that at the end, we would not be safe any more.” They challenged the validity of Johannes’s marriage, which prompted the following testimony on 31 Oct. 1842 from Jakob Zimmerman of Munzingen, the “foreman” of the Mennonites in the Freiburg area:

“The births of the Mennonites in this range have formerly been inscribed in a book which I present here. According to this register Johann Zimmermann was born on 21 Feb. 1797 at Baldenweg. His children are not registered, because he is living in Lörrach since years I have myself married him with his wife ne Schneider, but there is no entry about that. The birth of his son under conscription may be registered at the Mennonite community St. Jakob near Basel and in the Lörrach birth register. The community of Wittental does not have to be afraid about the home-right, because the Mennonite congregation will support the Zimmermann family in the case of need.”

On 16 Nov. 1842 Johannes Zimmermann appeared before the Lörrach county officials and declared: “My oldest son, who is under conscription, was not born here, but in Hegenheim in Alsace, where my wife was living then. As we were not yet married then, I have acknowledged the child according to the French law, and the child has been legitimized by the marriage and can claim the home-right in my home community.”

The Freiburg county office ordered Wittental to issue a home-right certificate for son Johannes. This was done, but Wittental promptly appealed the decision to the provincial government, claiming once again that Johannes Zimmermann’s marriage was invalid and also that he obtained his 1836 home-right certificate “surreptitiously with wrong information.”

In answer to these claims, Johannes Zimmerman appeared on 17 Dec. 1842 before the Lörrach county officials and declared that the Wittental community council was well informed about his family status when the Burgermeister issued the home-right certificate in 1836: “He says that at a Sunday after the church, he had sat together with some coucillors in the inn at Kirchzarten and they had assured him that they had no objection against a home-right certificate for his person, but could not issue one for his wife and children. The marriage has been contracted according to the beliefs of his religion in a valid way and has never been objected [to] by anyone.”

On 16 Mar. 1843 the Wittental Burgermeister wrote to the Freiburg county office that “Johannes Zimmermann has obtained his home-right certificate in 1836 only because he pretended he was unmarried and wanted to emigrate to North America, or in other words, by cunning and defraud. Therefore he has forfeited his citizenship, and his wife and children don’t matter [to] the community at all. His marriage is invalid, he shall search [for] his home-right somewhere else. The community is afraid that their little place may be overpopulated by Mennonites.”

One suspects that this last sentence explains why the Wittenthal authorities went to such desperate lengths to deny home-right certificates to the family of Johannes Zimmermann. They doubtless realized that if they accepted his family, then they would have to accept the illegitemate children of Johannes’s indigent sister Magdalena.

This case continued to drag on, generating paperwork that sheds light on the history of this family. A document of 6 Nov. 1844 is extracted as follows: “A long draft by the BM [Burgermeister] Wittental: they deny that Johann Zimmermann was really born in the 1790s in the Balderweg farm. The book of Jacob Zimmermann has no legal evidence. The community presents Martin Ketterer citizen of Stegen as a witness, who was formerly a soldier and then in the 1790s a farmhand at the Baldenweg farm. He says, the parents of Johann Zimmermann were not on the Baldenweg farm, but on a farm at Gunterstal, and Johann Zimmermann was born in 1795 in Gunterstal and only raised on the Baldenweg farm, actually by his relative Mennonite Kristian König, in whose service Martin Ketterer was for 15 years without interruption. This Kristian König went in 1813 from Baldenweg farm to Bamlach, and his heirs could probably give some more information if the Wittental BM could find them. The statement of Martin Ketterer refuted the book of Jacob Zimmermann. The home-right certificate of 1836 is therefore unsubstantial. By the long absence of the family, the claim for home-right has inveterated. There are many more arguments which have been brought up before.”

On 15 Jan. 1845, Johannes Zimmermann was interrogated before the Lörrach county authorities, and stated as follows: “He insists that he was not only raised, but born on the Baldenweg farm. At that time there were two tenants at that farm, namely König and his father Jakob Zimmermann.”

In the following month the provincial authorities handed down their decision denying Wittental’s redress and upholding the home-right for the family of Johannes Zimmermann. Johannes’s sister Magdalena promptly applied to Wittental for a home-right certificate for her son Johannes, and the Freiburg county office ordered the local Burgermeister to “issue a home-right certificate and omit useless and even ridiculous investigations.”

To America

On 15 July 1852 “Before the Lörrach county office, Johannes Zimmermann, married citizen of Wittental, district of Freiburg, resident of Lörrach, aged 55, protestant, appears and declares: I am married to Anna Maria nee Schneider from “Thiermenach” (Durmenach) in the Departement of Haut Rhin (Upper Alsace), we have six children, of whom the four oldest are already in America. The two youngest children, as Joseph 19 and Isaak 14, are still with me. I am living here since 25 years and have a property of about 800 florins (abt. $350 contemporary value, somewhat more than to be poor) and have no debts. – I am intended to emigrate to America with my family and apply for a passport and a clearing of my debts (which was legally required before obtaining a passport).” This petition resulted in a flurry of official correspondence which ended the following October with a statement of official willingness to grant an emigration permit.

It appears that the children of Johannes Zimmermann settled first in Adams Co., Indiana, but most of them eventually moved on to Livingston Co., Illinois and points west.

Johannes Zimmermann (listed as John Zimmerman, age 75) appears in the 1870 census in Clinton Co., Indiana, listed next to his childless son Christian. We have no information about his death and burial.

Johannes appears to have been raised by the above-mentioned Christian König, who moved from Balderwegen to Bamlach (now part of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_Bellingen Bad Bellingen] municipality in the southwest corner of Germany) in 1813 (see below). Bamlach was near the border of both Switzerland and France, and Johannes lived in this general area until he emigrated to America in 1852. [[Image:Zimmermann-218.gif|250px]] On this map, Stegen (next to Freiburg) shows the area of the Balderwegen estate. Several of Johannes Zimmermann's children were later born at Lörrach, Baden at the bottom of the map just north of Basel, Switzerland. In 1822 Johannes Zimmermann was living at Riehen in Switzerland, close to Basel. This was the location of his uncle Christian Zimmermann in 1813. Riehen is a few miles east of Hegenheim and Bourgfelden, two villages just across the border in Alsace, France. The Amish families in these French villages were all part of the congregation based in Basel, Switzerland. In Bourgfelden lived [[König-105|Elisabeth König]], likely the aunt of Johannes Zimmermann. Her husband, another [[Zimmermann-220|Christian Zimmermann]], was likely first cousin to Jacob Zimmermann, father of Johannes. On 5 Feb. 1822 at Hegenheim a boy “Jean Schneider” was born to Anna Maria Schneider. Johannes Zimmermann of Riehen acknowledged that he was the father, and this birth record also gives the names of the child’s four grandparents. It is worth keeping in mind that Amish couples often neglected to register their marriages with the civil authorities, which could be the case here.
