Summary

This article is a dated 'time-line' that follows the carpentry career of Carl & his children, his joint carpentry projects with GLADIGAU, his timber licence, the construction dates of the known buildings he was involved with:  WITTWER's Hahndorf Mill, St Michael's Church & the St Paul's Church of England.  In 1879 Carl is teaching F. DAHL carpentering.  I explore the working lives, addresses & trades of the 6 FAEHRMANN sons.  In the 'time line' for 1894, Carl's 5th child, August Friedrich FAEHRMANN is accused of an assault at the German Arms Hotel, witnessed by one of his brothers.

We take a walk around Tangermünde, Germany, and also see a display of examined & documented tools that Carl owned.  There is a copy of his naturalisation certificate, his last Will & comments by Lothar BRASSE.

Aim of this Article

Up until 2023 it was believed that Johann Carl Friedrich FAEHRMANN had the skills & background from his youth in Tangermünde, Brandenburg, Prussia to support theories [based on extensive field research & articles written by Lothar BRASSE] that Carl was the Master Carpenter who built the once named ‘GETHINGS Barn’, also known as ‘Beerenberg Barn’ or 'PAECH’s Barn', currently owned by Carol PAECH & her family in Hahndorf.  Possibly that  Carl also built Fachwerk houses, roofs & barns at Friedrichstadt, Paechtown, Blakiston & Hahndorf.

Now in 2024 we [Lothar BRASSE & the author] have evidence to prove that these long held assumptions have proved correct. 

I have developed this  'timeline' to his known built contributions in Hahndorf & the ages of his sons & son in law, who could have physically assisted his or not, & identify those that did work alongside him in his carpenter's business.

Also according to local colonial furniture collectors he also made furniture [couches, beds, tables] and in Noris IOANNOU’s book ‘Barossa Folk’ you can see a photograph of a very fine table that Noris says Carl FAEHRMANN crafted. I have approached Noris for a provenance but he has been unable to to supply it as this book was written [1995] 29 years ago.

1.   Who said Carl FAEHRMANN was a carpenter or master carpenter?

  • On his Childrens' Birth Certificates:

For 13 years, from 1855 to 1868 Carl FAEHRMANN is described as 'Carpenter' of Hahndorf.  With the birth of child no 8, Nickolaus Friederich Carl FAEHRMANN & the still birth of the unnamed child No 9 he is described as 'farmer & carpenter' of Hahndorf, those years were 1872 & 1874.  This would have coincided with the purchase of land.......  In 1877 at 54 years of age he is teaching his 21 year old son in law, carpentry.   The Directories describes Carl in 1877-1880 as a 'teamster'.  

  • The 1890 Aldine History:

Says, regarding his working life, that "Johann Carl FAEHRMANN,  served his time to the trade of carpenter, and after serving his time in the army...... he has twenty acres of purchased land, which he farms, is also a carrier; & also takes contracts for building, in conjunction with his sons".  Carl's carpentry business was carried out from a shed on the Hahndorf main road, alongside his home.  This shed was re erected next door for his son Nickolaus Carl FAEHRMANN to use as his blacksmith business........  On the sudden death of Nickolaus and by following the Certificate of Titles & anecdotal evidence I know that the same shed was moved back to 108 Main Rd, & used by Carl's grandson as a blacksmith business in..........

  • Reg BUTLER, historian & author:

In 1986 'In an Essentially German Village' page 35, says, "the master carpenter Carl FAEHRMANN undertook the woodwork'

  • According to Allan WITTWER:

(Letter from Anni LUUR FOX, dated 22 March 2005, to author) -"According to Allan WITTWER, Johann Carl Friedrich FAEHRMANN 1828-1896 was the hot-shot carpenter who trained all the progeny.  He served his apprenticeship in Tangermunde in Saxony and emigrated to SA on the Princess Louise in 1849.  They lived on the old homestead block at No 106 Main St [now Mitre 10] which was allotted to Johann Christoph LIEBELT in 1839. They demolished the original two-roomed wattle and daub cottage and built the present structure.  Carl did the timber work on St Michael's church in 1858 & Mr GLADIGAU from his home town & also erected the huge red gum pillars in WITTWER's Steam mill.  The heritage architects I worked with on the Hahndorf Survey 1979-81 attribute all of the quality half timbered cottages and barns to Carl.  

  • Lothar BRASSE:

Says that Hahndorf has the best examples of such structures in Australia.  They include HAEBICH's cottage, the Beerenburg Barn, the Ravenswood barn, the Australian Arms and possibly REIMANN's barn house on Schroeder Road.  There would have been many other buildings in the district that he and his progeny worked on.

    • 1855 GLADIGAU's brother is on the 'La Rochelle' with Otto August Ferdinand FAEHRMANN

      • Reference:  'The GLADIGAU Family History' p51.  Reference No 14  'Descendants of Wilhelm KALISCH Sept 3, 1855-Sept 3, 1972 '. -

        "Whether Friedrich knew of his brother's arrival or not, the arrival of the 'La Rochelle" in September 1855 brought about a big change for him.  On board the same ship as his brother and family was a spinster, Johanne Louise KALISCH who later became his wife.  Johanne Louise was accompanied by her brother, Johann Friedrich Wilhelm KALISCH, his wife & their 3 children.  The KALLISCHes were met by their friends the BRADTKES from Gnadenberg near Moculta, who later in 1857 persuaded them to settle in Gnadenberg as well.

​At the time of her wedding in 1856 Johanne Louise was listed as living in Friedrichstadt near Hahndorf, so she must have gone there fairly soon from Klemzig, either accompanied by her brother & his family or perhaps by Wilhelm & his family. ​If Friedrich did not meet his brother at Port Adelaide, he certainly would have at Hahndorf.  Here he would have been introduced to Johanne Louise by his brother & family who would have got to know her well on the journey from Hamburg.

Friedrichstadt was the name given to 1,1,75 acres of land to the south of Hahndorf, purchased in 1846 by Johann Friedrich PAECH who retained 3 sections of this land & sold the remaining sections to members of Pastor KAVEL's congregation.  The home of J.F. PAECH which still stands today, is still known as Friedrichstadt.

J.F. PAECH appears on the wedding certificate as the first witness [best man].  This would have been J.F. PAECH senior's 3rd son, who would have been 19 at the time [his father would have been 53].  This indicates that Friedrich had become e good friends with the PAECHs,. since he arrived in Hahndorf.  It is possible therefore that he found Johanne Louise a job as a maid with the PAECHs, & she may have worked in the house."

The 8 year old August FAEHRMANN would have played with the GLADIGAU & KALISCH children during this voyage.

  • October 18, 30 year old Christopher LIEBELT is granted a quarterly timber licence

    • 1855 timber licence for which Christopher LIEBELT?

    • 1857  June-1859 March - Friedrich GLADIGAU purchases flour & pollard from WITTWER's Mill, Hahndorf.

  • 1857-1858   Construction of St Michael's Church, Hahndorf.

Reference:  Hahndorf Survey Vol 11, page 372 quoting from the Minutes of Hahndorf Lutheran Congregational meeting 1856-59   -   "On 10 September, 1857 the Church declared a Constitution which was ratified by the congregation on 9 October, 1857.  It was amended and finally accepted on 30 June, 1858.  Over the years the old pug church had become so dilapidated that the Executive Council called a meeting on 13 July, 1858 at which the congregation unanimously resolved to build a new church.  It was to be built of hard stone with brick quoins, around the existing church which would be demolished when the new structure neared completion.  The Echunga Council gave permission for stone to be obtained from their quarry on condition that the church repair any resulting damage to the site.   Arrangements for a gallery were included in the church which was to measure 60 feet in length, 30 feet in width and 18 feet in height.  A commission of men acquainted with building was appointed to supervise the work to be let by tender.  Included were J.F. PAECH, E. REIMANN, C. FAEHRMANN, F. SCHNEEMILCH, Ed SCHRODER, F. GLADIGAU, E. THIELE, G.WIET, C.JAENSCH, J.F. THIELE, G.A. SCHUETZE,  J. AMPT and W. KURTZER. 

A subscription list signed by seventy members realized 859 pound, 11 shillings.  A little later, on 20 July, the Committee elected G.A. SCHUETZE as chairman of the Building Committee and J.F. PAECH and C. JAENSCH together with the chairman of supervisors.  It was agreed that the foundations be 3 ft 6ins, wide, the basement 3 ft., the walls 2ft. 6ins. to a height of 10 feet, and the rest to be 2 feet thick except for the gable walls which were to be 1ft. 6ins. wide.  A 12 ft, square vestry of brick was also to be added.  Four tenders for the masonry were received and the congregation decided that EGGERSTEDT and MEIER do the work together for 198 pound. The masons agreed to commence on 1st October, 1858 and to have the work completed by 1st February, 1859, if the congregation promptly supplied the stone, lime and sand.  

Several members pledged to quarry and cart stone not less than 6 ins. x 8 ins, while others carted lime from the Nairne Lime Kilns.  Others agreed to excavate the foundations, to erect a fence to protect the graves in the church yard and to dig a large hole for water.  Later EGGERSTEDT refused to sign the contract with MEIER so that he could do the job on his own for 158 pound.   The Foundation Stone was laid by J.F. PAECH on 29 September, 1858, St Michael's Day which was adopted as the new name of the church.  Later that year WILLEMER's tender of carpentering of 70 pound, 10 shillings as well as making comfortable pews for 2 pound each was accepted.  PETERSEN, FAEHRMANN and GLADIGAU would supply timber and slates for the roof for 310 pound.  FAEHRMANN and WILLEMER accepted the task of erecting a sandstone bell tower on the gable end over the entrance but required the help of a blacksmith to do so...... The altar and pulpit were made by Johann AMPT.....  the new church was ready for dedication on 3 July 1859...  there was a deficit of nearly 300 pound that was finally overcome in 1865."

Author's Note:  EGGERSTEDT is probably Joachim Henirch EGGERSTEDT, mason of Hahndorf.  J.F. PAECH who laid the Foundation Stone was probably J.F. PAECH Snr from Rentschen 1800-1870, in 1858 was 58 years of a father of 5 children,  living at Darby Rd, Friedrichstadt. 36 years of age on 'Zebra',

Reference:  The GLADIGAU Family History  -  The newly wed couple settled in Hahndorf, and along with Wilhelm and family regularly attended St Micahel’s Church.  In July 1858 the executive committee of the church called a congregational meeting and resolved to build a new church of stone and brick.  A commission of brethren acquainted with building was appointed to supervise the work which was to be let by tender. The 14-man commission included J.F. PAECH, C FAEHRMANN, F GLADIGAU & W GLADIGAU.  In July a contract for 198 pound was let to build the church which was to be completed by February 1859.

The foundation stone was laid on September 13, 1858, and as it was St Michael’s day they named the Church St Michael’s.   On November 8 the tender from Faehrmann and Gladigau to build the roof for 310 pound was accepted.  Although it is not stated which Gladigau we assume that Friedrich had put in the joint tender with his close friend Carl FAEHRMANN.  The new church was dedicated on 3 July 1859 the total cost being 1,181 pound, 18 shillings and 4 pence.  Since then the porch and tower have been added and the slate roof removed and replaced with galvanized iron.  In 1859 Friedrich Gladigau was listed in Council records as residing on Section 4031, Hundred of Onkaparinga just north of Hahndorf.  

As their first child Friedrich Wilhelm Junior was born in March 1858 in Hahndorf, they probably moved to Section 4031 some time after that.  After his marriage Friedrich must have decided to try farming and do carpentry as a side line.  The records of the Old Mill in the main streeet show that in June 1857, F Glaudegau started purchasing flour and pollard. The record ends in March 1859

1858  Foundation Stone laid  -  Minutes of Hahndorf Lutheran Congregational meeting 1856-59  "The Foundation Stone was laid by J.F. PAECH on 29 September, 1858, St Michael's Day which was adopted as the new name of the church"  

Authors Note.  This is probably J.F. PAECH Snr from Rentschen 1800-1870, in 1858 was 58 years of age

PAECH's eldest son, Johann Friedrich Wilhelm, purchased Section 4031 & added it to his Ravenswood property.  It is therefore possible that he may have assisted Friedrich in building a home there.  This ties in with family knowledge that Friedrich once lived at Ravenswood.

WILTON by Messrs, FAEHRMANN & BOM of Hahndorf, and, though of a  very plain nature, is admirably adapted for its purpose, and the work is solidly and well done."
    • Reference:   In an Essentially German Village by Reg BUTLER, 1986. -  "All most immediately after the foundation stone laying ceremony, two members of St Michael's Lutheran congregation began erecting St Paul's.  The monumental mason, Carl BOM, who had joined with Alfred von DOUSSA  & August PADE against Joe RUNDLE, toilet at the masonry, while the master carpenter, Carl FAEHRMANN, undertook the woodwork.  The 'Mount Barker Courier' reported on progress on 31 July 1885.  Inevitably, building costs had risen:  - The contractors re making good progress with this building, ​despite the continued wet weather, and the walls are now about six feet high.... The total cost of the church will exceed 400 pound, but no provision has been made in the presentcontract for fittings of any description.  The English community at Hahndorf is a very small one, & therefore.....  some difficulty ​is likely to be experienced in raising the fund necessary to defray ​the cost of the church."

WILTON, editor of the Mt Barker Courier.  A master carpenter, FAEHRMANN had supplied and fixed the timber and slates for St Michael's Lutheran Church in 1858 and had constructed the massive timbers of WITTWER's Steam Mill four years earlier.  While Carl BOM the monumental mason laboured on St Paul's masonry, CarL FAEHRMANN constructed the timber work."

J.F.W. owned many draught horses which were used in his carrier business.  Large logs were hauled to Port Adelaide for the wharves; much stone and gravel was carted for the building of roads in the Hahndorf locality.  His trusty team of horses was a magnificent sight transporting huge eucalypt logs to Port Adelaide for building the wharves.  Wilhelm also owned a quarry at Hahndorf & building stone came from the quarry in the early years and road making material came in later years.  The quarry was filled in during the building of the south-eastern freeway.  He leased section 421.

J.F.W. FAEHRMANN's portrait sketched /etched by Hans HEYSEN c1917.

'The quarry was a big concern.  The huge crusher that crushed the rock for road making at the end of John's Lane.  The freeway goes over it now.  He owned a lot of horses.  He would transport for building.  the Old Mill, a five story building, a fodder business which crushed bones for fertiliser and stored chaff for cattle and hay - all the timber in it was carted by him.  He also carted the electricity and telephone poles for Hahndorf'

Author's Note

  • This interview is with Ossie named Oswald Friedrich FAEHRMANN b1883 is the oldest child of Auguste Martha WIETH & Johann Friedrich Wilhelm FAHRMANN [sic].
    • His father's parents are Johanne Eleonore LIEBELT & Johann Carl Friedrich FÄHRMANN.  
    • It is [his] this LIEBELT grandmother whose Uncle is the father of Johann Gottlieb LIEBELT, farmer of Blakiston, who married a MEYER mentioned above as 'her sister Mrs LIEBELT'.
  • 'Their widowed mother Mrs MEYER' refers to Friedericke  Wilhelmine STERNICKE who survived her missionary husband by 27 years, after he died in 1862.
  • Heinrich August Eduard MEYER, missionary & linguist at Encounter Bay from 13 September 1840- 1848 brought his wife Friederike STERNICKE with him from Prussia.
    • Items that accompanied them from Prussia have been passed down for generations & are kept at the home of Glen LIEBELT of Blakiston who is their great great great grandson.
    • See the books, portraits & memorabilia that Friederike Wilhelmine STERNICKE  brought with her from the Palace & Prussia. [Glen LIEBELT Photographic Collection & Other Archive Material]
  • Their 2 daughters were married in 1858 & 1864, one before & one after their father Heinrich MEYER died in 1862.
    • Marie Charlotte Friederike MEYER 18...-1890 married Carl Friedrich Adolph STREMPEL 1831-1908
      • Carl Friedrich Adolph STREMPEL was ordained at Hahndorf 21 August 1855 & became pastor of the Hahndorf congregation on 21 October 1855, where he stayed until 1901, almost 50 years.
      • STREMPEL took over from Pastor FRITSCHE who had parted ways with Pastor KAVEL in August 1846 at a synodical gathering at Bethany.  
    • Their  .... born child was Auguste Sophie Louise MEYER who in 1864 married Johann Gottlieb LIEBELT, farmer of Blakiston.
  • This movement of aboriginal people through Hahndorf to visit the two MEYER sisters, one a pastor's wife [Pastor STREMPEL] & the other a farmers wife [Johann Gottlieb LIEBELT of Blakiston] must have happened some time after the death of Heinrich MEYER in 1862, after the STREMPEL marriage in 1858  & possibly before the LIEBELT marriage in 1864.

THIELE.  -  " Information for riotous behaviour at the Union Home, Hahndorf, on the night of December 31, 1890.  The Hon. J.H. Gordon for plaintiff; Mr. von DOUSSA for defendant.  Mr Gordon, in opening the case, said he was there at the instance of a body of respectable residents of Hahndorf, who wished to see a stop put to the larrikinism prevalent in that place.  [Mr. von DOUSSA, interrupting, said he objected to the statement made by Mr. Gordon, who was merely retained by the police and was not there on behalf of the Hahndorf people].  Witnesses were ordered out of court.  

August JAENSCH, butcher of Echunga, said he remembered the evening of the 31st December, when he was at the Union Hotel at Hahndorf.  Knew the defendants and saw them in the bar that evening.  Also saw Paul MÜLLER there, and THIELE had hold of him and was trying to throw him.  FAEHRMANN also occasionally had hold of MÜLLER,  They were wrestling with MÜLLER, who was a weak-minded fellow.  Also saw BECKER in the bar, but did not see defendants doing anything to him.  Left the hotel because it was too noisy. When going through the bar about 12 o'clock THIELE had hold of MÜLLER's arm and was pulling him round the room, while FAEHRMANN had hold of MÜLLER by the trousers and was swinging him round.  They were hooting and shouting.

By Mr. von DOUSSA-Know that MÜLLER is a fellow whom the lads like to lark with.  Told Constable WINCKLER about the disturbance at the hotel.  The landlord did not complain of the row.  I did not instigate the proceedings.

Joseph C. RUNDLE, agent, said he was at the Union Hotel, Hahndorf, on the evening of December 31 and saw the defendants there.  About midnight saw FAEHRMANN and THIELE dancing round with BECKER, and they all fell on the floor together.  It was more than reasonable hilarity.  

By Mr. von DOUSSA-  Understood that the landlord had a permit on the night in question.  MÜLLER seemed to be enjoying the fun with the defendants, and he was not injured by them.  Don't think the conduct in the bar was riotous.

Richard BECKER, poultry farmer, of Hahndorf, said that on New Year's Eve he was at the Union Hotel, and defendants treated him to a drink and asked him to join them in a dance.  Danced round with them.  He fell, but did not know whether he was thrown or not.  Had made it up with FAEHRMANN since.  Asked defendant why he had handled him so roughly, and FAEHRMANN said he was sorry for it.

By Mr. von DOUSSA-I willingly joined the others in the dance.  There was nothing to complain about in defendants' conduct.

Mr. von DOUSSA pointed out that from the evidence given all that took place at the Union Hotel on New Year's Eve was reasonable hilarity such as might be expected in a public house on an occasion like this.  The young fellows were merely enjoying themselves and dancing about, and Mr BECKER, one of the persons supposed to have been ill-used in the frolic, had come forward and said that he voluntarily joined in the dance and was not certain whether he fell or not.  Mr Rundle, another witness, did not consider the conduct riotous, and as these statements both came from the other side there was nothing for the defendants to answer.  

On Mr GORDON rising to reply Mr. von DOUSSA objected, pointing out that under ACT No 6 of 1850 the counsel for the prosecution had no such privilege.

​Dismissed, each party paying its own costs.

  • Assaulting an Idiot

WINCKLER v FIX-Action brought by the police against Carl FIX for assaulting Paul MÜLLER, Ho. J.H. GORDON for informant; Mr L. von DOUSSA for defendant.

August JAENSCH said that on the night of December 31, while standing outside of his father's house at Hahndorf, he saw defendant chased MÜLLER down the road and catch hold of him by the collar and strike him.  Went and stopped the assault.

By Mr von DOUSSA-Had no trouble in separating the lads.  Saw no flood flow.

On Mr. GORDON intimidating that this was his case, Mr von DOUSSA, characterising the action as "a lamentable fizzle", said the conduct of the prosecution in not taking more trouble to present a charge deserved the contempt of the court. The person assaulted, a lad who was said to be half-witted, had not been called, but he would take the risk upon himself and put MÜLLER in the witness-box.  

Paul MÜLLER, a young a who had all the appearance of having his "upper-story" poorly furnished, said that on the evening mentioned he had been at Ide's hotel till 12 o'clock.  Had a lark with defendant, each pulling the other about.  Was not hurt by FIX, and didn't complain of what defendant did to him.

​M.C. WINCKLER said that on the night of December 31 he was informed of the occurrence.  The information was first brought  before justices at Echunga. MÜLLER had complained to him of the assault.  If MÜLLER was not half-witted he would have been brought forward by him as a witness.

By bench-The lads of Hahndorf are constantly abusing the lad MÜLLER.

Mr. von DOUSSA said that in the face of MÜLLER giving such evidence as he had there was no case for the prosecution.

Fined 5s., with costs [1pound 13s in all].

The court here made an adjournment till 2 o'clock, and on resuming the S.M. said he wished to caution the lads of Hahndorf against playing ill-natured tricks upon a half-witted lad like MÜLLER, as such conduct might be attended with dangerous consequences.

  • PAECH v THIELE.- Action for assault.  Plea, guilty.  Hon. J.H.Gordon for informant.

Gustav PAECH, informant, farmer, of near Hahndorf, said-On the night of December er 31st I was standing under the verandah of the German Arms Hotel when THIELE came up and caught hold of my shoulder and asked me to come round the back.  Refused, but witness pulled me and hit at me two or three times.  Put him down and tried to make him quiet, and then some bystanders came up and stopped the row.  THIELE was a bit in liquor.  Had had no quarrel with him before.  Fined 20s., with costs [4 pound 4s. in all].

  • WINCKLER v FAEHRMANN-Action for using abusive words and disturbing the peace.  Plea, not guilty.  Hon. J.H. GORDON for informant; Mr L. von DOUSSA for defendant.  Mr. von DOUSSA took a preliminary objection with regard to the wording of the information, which disclosed two offences, but the court overruled him.

Thomas BROAD, licensed victualler, of the German Arms Hotel, Hahndorf, said-I remember the night of December 31, when I saw FAEHRMANN at my hotel.  Shortly before 11 o'clock heard a great noise in the bagatelie room.  Looked in and saw defendant dancing on the table.  Spoke to him, and he at once jumped down.  Went to the bar, and he followed me and used abusive language to me, saying, "You old b........ you said you would kick me."  Kept on calling me blackguard names.  Order him out, but he wouldn't go, and kept challenging me to fight. Defendant went outside and abused me, and on coming into the bar again he called on me to fight.

By Mr. von DOUSSA-Have had words with defendant on previous occasions regarding his dancing on my tables.  Have never heard him complain of the liquor with which he has been served.

Friedrich FAEHRMANN, defendant, blacksmith, of Hahndorf, said-I have never danced on the table in the bagatelle-room of the German Arms Hotel.  Was sitting on the table watching some others playing bagatelle.  Mr. BROAD walked out, and I followed him and said, "Don't you remember when you served me with slops?"  He said he didn't and then wen on. "Get out of my bar, you coward, you larrikin.'  Said I would go out if he came too.  There was no disturbance in the bar when the conversation took place.  A few days before Christmas Mr. BROAD had served me some slop[s instead of liquor.  Mr. JOHNSON and Otto & August FAEHRMANN were in the bagatelle-room.  

​By Mr. GORDON-I have been in a court before, having been fined for a scuffle with a boy.  My brother has been in gaol.  Deny that I called Mr. BROAD a b...........

Samuel JOHNSON, farmer, near Balhannah, deposed-Was in the bagatelle-room on the evening in question, and am certain that defendant did not dance on the table in that room.  Was in the room all the time that defendant was there.  Heard Mr. BROAD accuse FAEHRMANN of dancing on his table and the latter deny having done so.  Saw no one dancing on the table that evening.  Never heard defendant call Mr. BROAD any abusive names, and there was no disturbance in the house when FAEHRMANN went out.

By Mr. GORDON-Mr. BROAD appeared sober, but was a bit hasty.

Otto FAEHRMANN, laborer, of Littlehampton gave similar evidence.

William MINKWITZ, laborer, of Hahndorf, was also called, but no fresh information was elicited.

After an address from Mr. von DOUSSA the case was dismissed, each party paying its own costs. 

WINCKLER v FAEHRMANN-A second information of the same nature, which Mr. Gordon withdrew.

12.  Talking about Tangermünde, Anhalt, Sachsen-

12.1    Tangermünde on the western bank of the Elbe River.

Situated 100kms west of Berlin and 300 kms from the village of Nickern, [where Carl FAEHRMANN's  future wife, Johanne Eleonore LIEBELT came from] also in Brandenburg, Preussen.

Tangermünde has a 1,000 year long history and in the 15th century it was an affluent member of the Hanseatic League.  This  is when the brick Gothic buildings, the town hall [Rathaus] and St Stephen's parish church arose, surrounded by an almost entirely preserved city wall, with well fortified gates and castle complex   [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangermünde]

Tangermünde was almost completely rebuilt in a variety of Fachwerk homes after a devastating fire on 13 September 1617.  This uniqueness makes this city an extraordinary destination and it would also inform the workmanship of any master carpenter who did his apprenticeship within its walls. 

St Stephens Church [tall spire above, centre] is a Lutheran Church, built in several stages, nothing is left of the original construction, because it was burned in the town fire of 1617.  The church has a 'Scherer' organ built in 1624, one of the top organs in Europe.  [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangermünde]
