To return to:   STEINBORN & LIEBELT summary page   Burial places of the 1st three generations of STEINBORN & LIEBELT descendants Summary This article links the first 3 generations of descendants to burials in the Hahndorf Public Cemetery using a mapping system & the LIEBELT Family History book.  The only 1st generation not to be buried at St Michael's Church Cemetery in Hahndorf was Anna POHL, buried in 1884.  To begin with I provide research on the first 12 burials, [8 of which were babies or young children] in the cemetery beginning April 1883, the surnames being;  KUCHEL, RICHTER, PADE, FISCHER, GALLASCH, STREMPEL, NEARY, AUBERT, KRAMM & BOLTE.  Systematically I then follow, through the LIEBELT Family History book, the 3 LIEBELT son's families, color coded, to identify their burial site, along with headstone photographs.   The family names that are mentioned in this article: AUBERT, AMPT, ALTMANN, ACKLAND, BOLTE, BRADKE, BIGGS, BRUSE, BRAENDLER, DAHL, DOHNT, EY, FAEHRMANN, FISCHER, FILLGRAF, FIELD, GALLASCH, GRIEGER, GILES, HEIN, HEINRICH, HEBERLE, JAENSCH, JACKSON, JONES, KAU, KOWALD, KAVEL, KRAMM, KLENKE, KUCHEL, KREIS, KAESHEHAGEN, KROEHN, KLAEBSCH, LIEBELT, LUBASCH, MINKE, MACHELL, MANGELSDORF, MEYER, MÜLLER, McENTEE, van der MOLEN, MINKWITZ, NEARY, NEUMANN, NITSCHKE,  PADE, PAECH, PFEIFFER, POHL, PFENNIG, RICHTER, ROUSE, ROHRLACH, ROSSI, SALISBURY, SAWADE, SALOME, SEIDEL, SCHÄCHE, STREMPEL, STEINBORN, SMITH, SIMPER, SICKERDICK, WOLF, WITTWER, WIETH, ZIMMERMAN.

Aim of this article

Provide information about the burial places for the first 3 generations of descendants from the STEINBORN & LIEBELT families

Provide details of where to find all of the 1st, 2nd & 3rd generation that are buried at the Hahndorf Public Cemetery using the LIEBELT Family History book as a  guide.

1st generation emigrants are those that are foreign born

2nd generation are those that are born in Australia but have at least one foreign born parent

3rd generation are those who are native born of native born parents.

This project recognises STEINBORN/LIEBELT as 1st generation emigrants, their sons No1, No2, No3, and 9 grandchildren 1:1, 1:2, 1:3 & 2:1, 2:2, 2:3 and 3.1, 3:2, 3:3 as also 1st generation emigrants. and these grandchildren's children are therefore 2nd generation emigrants and is as deep into descendants as this Cemetery Tour will explore.

2.   STEINBORN/LIEBELT

When our LIEBELT ancestors left their neighbouring villages of Nickern and Schönborn in June 1838 they first had to make their way south for 12 kilometres to board an Oder River barge. The village of Kay where many of the 'Zebra' passengers came from included names like PAECH, KLENKE, JAENSCH, NEUMANN, NITSCHKE and PFEIFFER was only 4 kms away from these two villages if you cut through the paddocks. The village of Klemzig where August KAVEL was pastor from 1826 -1835 was in a more south easterly direction, but still it was 11 kms away from the harbor of departure. Coming to South Australia on the 'Prince George' from the village of Schönborn was Johann Christoph  LIEBELT Snr and his wife who was six years older, Anna Elizabeth STEINBORN. Christoph Snr was a cottager and blood letter, in Hahndorf when he died he was a shepherd. Christoph at 62 years and Elizabeth at 68 years of age were amongst the older of all emigrants, one notable  exception was Pastor KAVEL's father, Albrecht who was 71 years old and his mother Charlotte FILLGRAF was 70 years old. Christoph died 8 years after arrival and Elizabeth lived 19 years in Hahndorf dying at 88 years of age in 1857. In the same village as the parents lived their eldest son who had married a POHL, he was a tailor.  Down the road to the west 2 kilometres away in the village of Nickern lived the two younger sons and their families. Jabłonna creeks runs through both villages. Their homes and yards backed onto forests much as they still do today.

Their second son had married a KUCHEL and was a shepherd and the youngest who married a WOLF was a tailor like his older brother. So their were 3 LIEBELT son, No 1 Gottfried, No 2 Christian No 3 Christoph Junior.  The following burials of descendants below will be referred to as they relate to either son No  1,2, or 3.  So it was the eldest son No 1 and his family who lived near his parents in Schönborn who left first on the first Oder barges and ultimately from Hamburg on the first ship 'Prince George'. All three sons had three living children aged 1-15 years.  No 2 and No 3 son took their families aboard the 'Zebra' whose passengers numbered 92 adults and teenagers and 96 children under 16 years of age.

The first tragedy for the LIEBELT's came awkwardly  just three years ager arrival when No 1 son, died in 1841, he was 43 years old and left young children and his wife who was 42 years old. His eldest was Louise 17 years, Anna 8 and Gottfried 6 years of age. His burial site is unknown. Gottfried's parents Christoph Snr & STEINBORN were still alive in South Australia for another 5 & 16 years. Along with their two younger sons, and their wives, KUCHEL & WOLF they were all buried over a 23-year period in the  St Michael’s cemetery between 1846-1879. 

Alan Wittwer said this in 1986

'It would appear the Johann Gottfried LIEBELT, the first son of Christoph LIEBELT senior died just before or during May 1841.  Correspondence addressed to him in the early months of 1841 but the Return of Cattle dated 31 May 1841 shows evidence of his name Gottfried LIEBELT being changed to Gottfried LIEBELT's widow'  'LIEBELT 1986 An update of the Liebelt Family History', published in 1975. EA WITTWER and FJ LIEBELT 1986. Gottfried's widow was Anna Elizabeth POHL.

 

All 1st and 2nd generation STEINBORN/LIEBELTS  except Anna POHL were buried at St Michael's Cemetery, Hahndorf.
	Inscription: "Here rests in God, our beloved father, Johann Christian LIEBELT.  He was born on February 2, 1801, and died on October 4, 1858, aged 57 years, 5 months, and 2 days.  Jesus, only in your wounds Have I found the sinner's comfort. " (LFH page 45)	Inscription: "Here rests in God, our beloved mother, Maria Elisabeth LIEBELT, born KUCHEL. She was born on January 4, 1798, and died on August 2, 1879.  I know that my Redeemer lives; What comfort this sweet sentence gives! Psalm 19.25" (LFH page 45)
LIEBELT Family History book page 16 Christoph died 21 October 1846 [ ] Elisabeth died 27 January 1857 [  ]	Both are buried at St Michaels church cemetery beneath the current car park.

 

The only surviving 1st or 2nd generation LIEBELT's who lived past the closure of the St Michael's, St Paul's and St John's Cemeteries in central Hahndorf was the No 1 son's wife Anna POHL who died 12 months after this cemetery opened.  Anna POHL b1799, arrived on the 'Prince George', pioneer of Hahndorf for 46 years, left behind 24 grandchildren is the 13th person to be buried in this cemetery and she lies here alongside the grave, of No 12 burial, Friederika BOLTE.

 Numbering the the 3 sons of STEINBORN / LIEBELT.  The STEINBORN / LIEBELT's  had 3 sons, No 1, No 2 and No 3, Gottfried, Christian and Christoph Jnr.  Their descendants will be referred to as 1:1, 1:2, 1:2:1, 1:2:2 etc to reflect the 'first sons, first child', the 'first son's second child' the 'first sons's second child's first child' and the 'first son's second child, second child' etc.
