State Heritage Places SHR 13134, SCHACH House, 1 Main St, Hahndorf.  'This building probably dates to c1850 & was constructed by J.G. SCHACH, an early  resident of Hahndorf.  The building significance is its architecture, being an example of early half-timbering with pug infill.' in 1854 Gottfried LUBASCH sold this block to J.G. SCHACH.'Pge 46: Hans Heysen painting ‘At Friedrichstadt, near Hahndorf 1897-98’. 

See Art Gallery of SA

‘This SA pioneer German house represents the best of SA Germanness with its steep roof, Krüppel Walm (half-hipped roof), use of attic and Fachwerk (half-timbered) construction.  It is typical of symmetrical ‘Frederick the Great’ houses used by the Emperor during his vast, 18c expansion schemes, east of the River Oder.  Also known as the Flur Küchen Haus (passage kitchen house), the centralised passage ran from the front door to the back, and was always centred between the two chimneys stacks.

 

This is identified as ‘Paechtown House Number 3.  It stand on the large, 13 section tract of land originally purchased by J.F. Paech (senior) in 1846, and named by him ‘Friedrichstadt’ most probably after the Emperor.  Friedrichstadt incorporates the more recently named Paechtown, a settlement of four substandial half-timbered houses plus barns, which was settled by another Paech family soon after Friedrichstadt was founded.

• Reference:  'LUBASCH house, kitchen, bake-oven & wisteria. Place no 304.'

  D.C. Mt Barker Heritage Survey [2004] - part 3, Auricht Rd, Hahndorf, Lot 11, Section 3812, Hd Kuitpo. CT 5139/921. [Now CT 4355/895, 4170/432, 4119/5]  '​3 associated buildings constructed of local rubble stone [part rendered] with corrugated iron gable roofs [front building hipped at one end], timber framed openings with timber doors & timber-framed casement windows, corralled bake-oven with smokehouse, and red-brick chimneys. It is associated with a notable local personality...namely Sergent [sic] LUBASCH, Hahndorf's earliest policeman.  Also early wisteria plant....being reputedly the oldest wisteria plan in South Australia. 

​One of the oldest surviving buildings in the town is actually located outside of the original subdivision, on Section 3812.  This land was purchased by Sergent [sic] LUBASCH on 17 June 1844, and soon afterwards he constructed a house with separate kitchen, and smokehouse with bake-oven. The property was later owned by Bill FAEHRMANN, prominent local builder who constructed the Anglican Church in 1886.  FAEHRMANN made some additions to the house on Auricht Road, including a brick building [now demolished].  Adjacent to the former kitchen, there is a wisteria plant which is believed to be the oldest in the State [Hignett].

1855:  eldest daughter arrives with family from Prussia, & husband Gottlieb WIETH.

The eldest daughter of Gottfried LUBASCH & his first wife was Johanne Louise LUBASCH 1820-1899, who remained in Prussia after her father and his family left on the 'Zebra' in 1838 was Johanna  Louise LUBASCH who married in 1840 to Johann Gottlieb WIETH and they came out to South Australia in September 1855 on the 'La Rochelle'. With them were 3 children and they had another two children in South Australia. This 'eldest daughter ' had not seen her father for 17 years and she arrived the year before he died.

Newspaper reporting during two trials [1857 & 1865] involving the Will of Gottfried LUBASCH, reported that :

'Johann Gottlieb WEITH [the plaintiff], mason lived at Hahndorf, and married Louisa LUBASCH in 1840" also  "Johann Gottlieb WEITH of Hahndorf, bricklayer" & "Came into the colony in 1855, and was married in 1840.  The father-in-law assisted to build his house.  It was only a one room slab hut.'

 

1856:  Gottfried LUBASCH died, & who did he leave his land to?

During the publicly reported challenge to the Will of Gottfried LUBASCH [by 3 of his son's in law, JAENSCH, THIELE & LIEBELT] a declaration of his assets at the time of his death was revealed by his 2nd wife as well as witnesses describing how LUBASCH wished to distribute his estate.

• 'Another provision he stated was that the eldest daughter should have a certain cottage and land.' 
• 'There were 5 daughters of deceased, who lived at distances of from half a mile to two miles away from him. '
• 'Mrs THIELE, Mrs LIEBELT, and Mrs MACFARLANE lived two miles away, and Mrs JEANSCH (sic) and Mrs WHIETH (sic) much nearer.''
• The eldest were to have two acres of land and some houses, and the youngest daughter was to have the farm. '  
• 'The money was to be paid by the daughter who took the farm.'
• Anna Dorothea GREISER, LUBASCH's wife: 
  • 'She was not aware that LUBASCH had two or three small sections.''
  • At the time her husband died, he had an 80 acre section and a block of 15 acres. He also had an interest in the German Arms public - house, and 300 pound out on mortgage. ''
  • here was a debt of 80 pound for which they had no acknowledgement.''
  • Therefore only two or three pounds in the house at the time of death.  She had a box which was locked, but there was no money in it.'
  '
• LIEBELT, her son in law, had none of her money but another man by that name had borrowed of her husband 50 pound, for which there was no acknowledgment taken.'
  • 'His name was Gottlieb LIEBELT who was in the Court.'
  • Authors Note: The only man who this description fits is her daughter, Johanna Karoline's husband Johann Gottlieb LIEBELT, now aged 33 years.  
• By the Attorney-General - The married daughters  very seldom called at their father's house, except Mrs THIELE, who called on the Saturday previous to the death 'none' of them called for several weeks. 
• Mrs WIETH to receive:    'LUBASCH replied that he had five daughters; and that he wished Maria Elizabeth to have 100 pound of the 300 pound; also, that his daughter, Mrs WIETH, should have the two acres of land and the house standing thereon. '  

Authors summary:   

• 80 acre section, beside the land on which they lived.  

  • This indicates that on his death in 1856  LUBASCH & family were living on Section 3812, not in Hahndorf Main Street.

  • '80 acre section' refers to Section 4222 Hd Onkaparinga, purchased 1849.

• Also a piece of land adjoining the 80 acre section, about 15 acres,

  • '15 acres' refers to Section 4230 Hd Onkaparinga, purchased 1851.

• An interest in the German public-house

• 200-300 pound out at interest.  

• There was 2 or 3 pound in the house when her husband died.  

• LUBASCH’s eldest daughter Johanna Louise LUBASCH to receives 'two acres of land and the house standing thereon' & she '

• should also have a certain cottage & land, two acres on which she dwells'. LUBASCH's youngest daughter, Maria Elizabeth LUBASCH, 'to have the farm', & when she married [in 1859 to Gottfried LIEBELT] 'her husband should take charge of the farm and pay out of it 900 pound.

•  Maria Elizabeth LUBASCH was to inherit Section 4222, 4230 & 3812, except for the 2 acres where her older sister was living & could continue to live.

 

Gottlieb WIETH, having arrived in South Australia almost exactly a year before LUBASCH died, was not a participant in the trial of 1857 when his 3 other brothers in law questioned the Will of Gottfried LIEBELT.  Unbeknown to all he had apparently entered into an agreement & later a written agreement with the youngest daughter Maria Elizabeth, to not be involved in the trial if she paid him a certain amount of money. This is where WIETH alone took Maria Elizabeth LUBASCH to court in 1865 because he had not been paid.

• Received no money from his deceased father in law, but he built a house for him. It was a one roomed slab hut.  
• After the trial in the Supreme Court had taken place she expressed her pleasure that the present plaintiff had not joined in the proceedings, and she accordingly ratified her promise by signing an agreement, of which the following is a translation:- 
  • Adelaide, June 24, 1857, - 'It is agreed between Miss Maria Elizabeth LUBASCH of Hahndorf, and Johann Gottlieb WEITH of Hahndorf, bricklayer, that Miss Maria Elizabeth LUBASCH, in case she gets into possession of all the estate left by her deceased father Gottfried LUBASCH, as provided for by his [LUBASCH'S] will, shall pay to J.G. WEITH the sum of 150 pound sterling, Christmas 1857.  If  M.E.LUBASCH cannot pay the money in 1857 Christmas, then she shall certain play the money to J.G. WEITH at Christmas 1858, and pay to him interest at 8 per cent, yearly. Witness the signature- G.DOLLING, M.E.LUBASCH, Gottlieb WEITH.'

​

'2 acres of land & the house standing thereon' settled to the eldest daughter Johanna Louise LUBASCH.

Gottfried LUBASCH purchased Section 3812 in 1844, at some stage he must have sold this 1 acre corner parcel of land. It has previously been said by historian Alan WITTWER in 'Hahn's Village' & also in State Heritage Places SHR 13134, 'SCHACH House',  that in 1854 LUBASCH sold this block to J.G. SCHACH in 1854, but I have not found evidence of this yet, however in this CT says:

Hahn's Village

by EA WITTWER 1979.

Hahn's Village, by E.A. WITTWER 1979.

'In 1854, J.G. SCHACH an engineer by trade, purchased an acre of land from Gottfried LUBASCH, Hahndorf's pioneer hotelier turned farmer.  Here Schach erected a cottage of half-timbered construction using, it is said, timber cut from the land. A stone addition was made to the northern end a few years later. The appearance of the cottage changed quite dramatically when the exterior was plastered over as a means of protection from the weather. A verandah was added, the original bake-oven removed and the shingle roof covered with galvanised iron. In recent times further additions have been made to the northern end.

A contemporary described the cottage as being charming with two Cloth of Gold roses on either side of the gate. They were sturdy trees more than twelve feet high'. These were removed--much to the disgust of some residents only to be replaced by many standard roses. The building has always been used as a private residence. Schach's workshop was also situated on the block but has long since disappeared.'

Mt Barker Survey 2004, References page 379'Not only is the town of Hahndorf an exceptional exemplar of German culture & construction methods, but there are also several smaller settlements, farm complexes and individual buildings which retain a strong heritage. One of these is the former Lubasch farm at the Beerenberg farm. The former Lubasch barn is one of the earliest buildings in the Hahndorf area, and the associated later Lubasch house also has significant associations with the development of the farm, and with the Lubasch family. The farm was established by pioneer Gottfried Lubasch in the 1840s. Lubasch made a Special Purchase of the 52-acre section 3812 on 17 June 1844 at a cost of £104. He constructed a large German barn on his land soon afterwards, and this formed the focus of his farm for many decades. The current stone house was constructed in c1885.

1867  Exploring ownership of the 49 acre, main portion of Section 3812, CT 107/212 [as well as Sections 4222 & 4230]

SAILIS CT Vol`107. Folio 212SAILIS CT Vol 107. Folio 212

Genealogy:  Gottfried LUBASCH's youngest daughter, Maria Elizabeth LUBASCH was unmarried when it was confirmed by the court in 1856, that she would inherited the family farm, from her father's WILL..

1857  from April - September Maria's  3 brothers in law took her to court to contest her father's Will.

1865 saw a 4th brother in law took her to court and she won that decision as well.  Maria LUBASCH married for the 1st time in 1859 to Johann Gottlieb LIEBELT.  

1864, Maria's mother Anna Dorothea GREISER died in October.

1866. 1st husband died aged 29 years, leaving Maria with 3 daughters aged 5, 3 & 3 months of age. 1867 Maria remarried to Johann Wilhelm PAECH a widower, who had 2 small children and they together had another 4 children b1868, 1870, 1872 & 1876.

It seems from the date on this Certificate of Title, 29 November 1867, that it took 11 years for her to receive the CT related to the inheritance of her parents farm land.  The drawings on the right show Section 3812 without the 1 acre section [possibly sold to J.G. SCHACH as Georg BANKS did not buy it until 1903]  & without the 2 acres that went as per the instructions from their father's Will to her eldest sister Johanna Louise and her husband Gottfried WIETH and that land was settled in 1860.

Certificate of Title 107/212 says:  'Maria Elizabeth LIEBELT of Hahndorf, Widow is now seised of an estate in fee simple .... those Sections of land situated in the County of Adelaide. That is to say First in those Sections No 4222 in the Hundred of Onkaparinga containing eighty one acres ...and 4230 containing 15 acres and Second in that Section No 3812 in the Hundred of Kuitpo containing 52 acres ...Except out of this Certificate of Title a piece of land containing three acres or thereabouts portion of the said section 3812 and coloured green in the said plan....'

Genealogy NITSCHKE:  In 1875  Johann Carl NITSCHKE had been married to Annie Elizabeth SEIDEL since 1853 and they had had 12 of their 14 children. Carl had been on the 'Zebra' as a ten year old while Maria LUBASCH had been only 3 years old. Karl was the son of Maria Elisabeth Marcia SÜSS &  Wilhelm NITSCHKE & they had left the village of Kay [now Kije in Poland] which was less than 10 kms from the village of Rissen [now Rosin in Poland] where the LUBASCH's came from. Johann Gustav Ewald NITSCHKE who received this land on a date unknown was the 10th child of Carl & Elizabeth.  Emilie Hulda NITSCHKE is Johann Gustav Ewald NITSCHKE's wife and from there the land was transferred to two sons born in 1909 & 1912.

Reg BUTLER  researched and recorded in the ‘Hahndorf Data Base’, the farming land that all the pioneers were allocated in 1839. Like everyone the LUBASCH's received land which was carefully divided up amongst the pioneers by H.F. KOOK [also a passenger on the ‘Zebra] so that each could have equal access to water and soil types including  the three streams coming through the village. [Kook,  Kavel's people page 164 + Zebra]

  ‘This SA pioneer German house represents the best of SA Germanness with its steep roof, Krüppel Walm (half-hipped roof), use of attic and Fachwerk (half-timbered) construction.  It is typical of symmetrical ‘Frederick the Great’ houses used by the Emperor during his vast, 18c expansion schemes, east of the River Oder.  Also known as the Flur Küchen Haus (passage kitchen house), the centralised passage ran from the front door to the back, and was always centred between the two chimneys stacks.

   

  This is identified as ‘Paechtown House Number 3.  It stand on the large, 13 section tract of land originally purchased by J.F. Paech (senior) in 1846, and named by him ‘Friedrichstadt’ most probably after the Emperor.  Friedrichstadt incorporates the more recently named Paechtown, a settlement of four substandial half-timbered houses plus barns, which was settled by another Paech family soon after Friedrichstadt was founded.

  Hi Janis

Hi Janis

What an exciting heritage you have and your endeavors retracing the pioneer's journey  all tied up with a European bicycle tour - all sounds fantastic.

I had interviewed 'Ossie' Faehrmann  who lived in the house-now demolished next to St Paul's in 1975 when he told me of the Fridrichstadt and Paechtown 'Fachwerk' buildings his great grandfather built.

My subsequent research suggests that he and his sons built many important  buildings in and around Hahndorf. The Beerenberg barn is just one example of many. I believe these buildings are of international importance because they represent the best collection of its genre - not just within Australia but also outside Europe. I believe that Carl was one of many carpenters in the Australian context that built these half timbered structures  - but Carls were  without doubt the most substantive and artistic.

His Tangermuende friend and fellow 'Princess Louise' passenger Gladigau was also a carpenter who was active in and around Hahndorf - his Carpenter brother joined them later and I believe that the Gladigaus built a different style of 'Fachwerk' than Carl in and around Hahndorf. I think I have drawn and measured every 'Fachwerk' building in Australia.

Tangermuende is indeed blessed with many picturesque and varied half timbered structures but  found no Faehrmann leads or traces of a matching building type.

 

I have just completed translating a German book written by Carl's fellow passenger - Gustav Listemann. Although Listemann doesn't mention Carl by name, he infers at the work some of his fellow carpenter passengers had to put up with upon their arrival in SA.

One more thing - when I interviewed Ossie, he told the story of Carls wife Eleonore's  death in the Ranges (where the Freeway is now) by her pet bull.

I recently came across a 1892 water colour painting of a Hahndorf scene featuring a lady walking her bull - I think it could be Eleonore because she was a well known as the lady with her pet bull.

Good luck with your research and presentation - it sounds exciting. I would be interested in coming along so please let me know when and where.
