Linen weaver. Some sources give his middle name as Arndt. The birth date of 1691 is one estimate I have seen. His wife has also been identified Anna Catharina Sorge(r) but dates provided for her are implausible.

I have my doubts about whether this marriage took place.

She came to the United States in about 1881, settling first in St. Paul. In 1883 she moved to Crookston where she met and married Karl Riedesel. In Crookston she was a charter member of the Auxiliary to the Sons of Hermann, and that lodge was named in her honor.

His birthplace of St. Goarshausen is on the right east) bank of the Rhine and the site of the famous Loreley promontory. Recorded as being a Lutheran. This part of the Rhineland was strongly Catholic, so it is conceivable that his family origins were elsewhere. Teacher at Gersweiler for 37 years. Not listed in a statistical report on Gersweiler to the Graf in 1741, but his status as a teacher may have meant that he was not counted as part of the community.

His christening record in Erndtebrück says Karl, but the spelling was most often Carl.

He was mustered into the royal Prussian second Hessian infantry regiment on December 12, 1874, and was honorably discharged not quite two years later on September 1876. He incurred no fines or disciplinary actions. He appears not to have seen any military action, as the wars that led to the unification of Germany under Prussian domination were complete in 1871. The military record also spells his name with a "C."

A Carl Riedesel (with a "C") arrived in New York on the "Belgenland" on July 15, 1880. He was 26 (just right for Karl) but seemed to have no companions with Wittgenstein names. His occupation is listed as that of a farmer.

He first settled in Carver County, MN, near Minneapolis, and worked as a farm laborer. In 1882 he moved to Crookston, MN, where he was employed in the harness and shoe-making business. In 1889, he established his own shoe-making business. He was an active participant in civic life, having served on the school board and city council. He was a member of several fraternal organizations including the Masons and Oddfellows.

Born in Haase Haus in Wunderthausen and presumably lived there with the extended family. While the senior Ludwig Dürr never married her, there are records showing that he paid some kind of child support and was living in Elberfeld in the late 1820s (many young men from poor Wittgenstein did so, if only seasonally). She came with her son, Ludwig Dürr, and nephew, J. Ludwig Riedesel, to New York on the ship Lesmona out of Bremen. It debarked there on June 24, 1844. All were bound for Crawford County, Ohio. She is nowhere to be seen in later records so presumably died in her first few years in America.
