On this page we present the stories (small or large!) from Abraham born around 1530 to Henri\/Jean-Louis\/Madeleine born at the end of the 19th century, passing through the commissioner of the republic Jean Stroh (1757-1793) in 8 mini-chapters:<\/p>\n
Laurent conducted research for the pre-18th century, focusing on the Barony of F\u00e9n\u00e9trange and then the connection with America. Martine wrote the bulk of the 18th-century history to our grandparents and summarized the family “places.”<\/p>\n

village of Mittersheim.<\/p>\n His son Thiebold<\/strong> (born before 1560) and his grandson Georg<\/strong> (born in 1587) were mayors<\/strong> in the Col-de-Cygne lordship of the barony of F\u00e9n\u00e9trange between ~1590 and 1640<\/strong>. They were newly Protestants. Their function was to collect taxes from the mainly farming fellow citizens of the village (in their case Mittersheim<\/strong>) in a rather violent period.<\/p>\n The Rhingraves<\/strong> introduced Lutheranism to F\u00e9n\u00e9trange and Mittersheim before 1565. This was followed by a troubled period, punctuated by quarrels between co-Barons who remained loyal to Rome and the supporters of the Reformation. The 17th century was marked by the terrible Thirty Years’ War<\/a> (1618-1648) which was followed by famine and plague.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ header_font=”||||||||” header_3_font=”Playfair Display|700|||||||” header_3_text_color=”#2b2b2b” header_3_font_size=”28px” header_3_line_height=”1.5em” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ text_font=”Verdana||||||||” text_font_size=”16px” custom_padding=”0px|0px|0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Thiebold’s other sons are Michael<\/strong> (1580-1615), probably a farmer, and Christoph Paulus<\/strong> (before 1602-1673), “already” an innkeeper in Mittersheim. There will be at least one innkeeper in each Stroh family. Note that the two brothers are our direct ancestors, because one of Michael’s grandsons, Johann (Hans) Theobald, married one of his aunts, the daughter of Christoph Paulus, himself Michael’s brother.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_5,2_5″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_margin=”-28px|auto||auto||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ header_font=”||||||||” header_3_font=”Playfair Display|700|||||||” header_3_text_color=”#2b2b2b” header_3_font_size=”28px” header_3_line_height=”1.5em” custom_margin=”||10px|” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Verdana||||||||” text_font_size=”16px” custom_padding=”3px|0px|0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The Barony of F\u00e9n\u00e9trange, geographically located in the Moselle department and bordering on Bossue Alsace, was a grouping of three, then four, lordships managed jointly before Louis XIV took control of Alsace-Lorraine.

Now the Count of Nassau Saarweden, who owned the bossue Alsace, was Protestant: Ottwiller returned to the Princes of Nassau Saarbrucken. Ottwiller and Drulingen and 25 other localities were part of the Oberamt of Haskirchen. The “cabbage heads” were reputed to have an enterprising character and a taste for innovation.<\/p>\n On the F\u00e9n\u00e9trange barony side, the agreements and commitments to divide the villages and churches between Catholics and Lutherans are constantly broken with numerous clashes (preemption of places of worship, etc.). Diane de Dommartin and her second husband, Charles Philippe, Duke of Croy-Arschot, co-barons, remained Catholics. The pressure is strong on our reformed STROH ancestors. It is likely that they left Mittersheim for religious reasons around 1650 (?) and went back a few kilometers to Alsace Bossue towards Ottwiler and Drulingen to find themselves in “reformed” land. In 1664-65, the House of Lorraine, via Henri de Vaud\u00e9mont, acquired the last shares of the Protestant Rhingraves in the lordships of the barony. After the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes<\/a> in 1685, the Mittersheim temple was destroyed.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ text_font=”Verdana||||||||” text_font_size=”16px” custom_padding=”0px|0px|0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”2″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ background_color=”#FFFFFF” width=”100%” module_alignment=”center” min_height=”174px” custom_margin=”-6px|auto|6px|auto||” custom_padding=”0px||0px|||” box_shadow_style=”preset3″ box_shadow_vertical=”40px” box_shadow_blur=”50px” box_shadow_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.1)” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ custom_padding=”|5%||5%” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ header_font=”||||||||” header_3_font=”Playfair Display|700|||||||” header_3_text_color=”#2b2b2b” header_3_font_size=”28px” header_3_line_height=”1.5em” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ text_font=”Verdana||||||||” text_font_size=”16px” width=”120%” max_width=”120%” custom_padding=”0px|0px|0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n STROH <\/strong>is a common surname in Alsace, in the Bas-Rhin.

Abraham and the seigneurial mayors<\/h3>\n
Michael and Paulus, Farmers and Innkeepers<\/h3>\n
The Barony: geography<\/h3>\n
The Barony: History<\/h3>\n
The most likely hypothesis is that they reported to the Prince of Croy, husband of Diane de Dommartin, heiress of the Rheingrave, through his bailiff (Amtm\u00e4nner), Frederick von Hindenburg. We will see in the genealogy section that approximately 300 years later, a descendant of the Rheingraves, Louise Dannenberger, married our AAGP Jean Georges Stroh (1812-1898)!<\/p>\n
According to documents consulted on Gallica.bnf.fr, some of the co-barons had direct vassal possessions of the emperor (without intermediary, i.e., immediate), such as the Lorraines and the Rhingraves. The immediacy of empire was transmitted by “osmosis” to the barony, which was managed jointly.
2<\/span><\/em><\/strong> Why this compulsory joint ownership (Ganerbschaf) ?<\/strong>
The inheritance, long shared among the aristocracy of the Holy Roman Empire, is often the reason. Primogeniture was only imposed in the 17th century. There was no dismemberment of lordships. This led to this particular form of condominium, the Ganerbschaft in F\u00e9n\u00e9trange, where all the heirs share jurisdiction. This required compromises between the various co-barons, the town of F\u00e9n\u00e9trange and the villages, the corporations, and the religions. And this in our confetti barony (29 km by 20 km), as in the Free Republic of Strasbourg at the same time. Louis XIV took all this in hand in a monarchical manner.
In France, we have yellow vests and no concord (because of Louis XIV?), while our German neighbors are champions in the art of compromise (because of the Holy Roman Empire?)! The political management of the barony is impressively balanced, reflecting Strasbourg at the time (see the M.Pfarrer page in the zoom<\/a> menu). But formariage<\/a> was forbidden. It was not democracy but a complex and finely tuned system designed to ensure that everyone remained in their original environment.<\/p>\nIII – Strohs & Co\u00a0 in Alsace Bossue<\/h2>\n

The STROH tannery building still exists, on the banks of the Isch, next to the Strohhof, which was the residence. Fran\u00e7ois Stroh had a long-standing relationship with the Bieber family, who lived there in the 1990s and 2000s. They had six children, including Georges. The six children and their descendants are presented in the Stroh & Co. family tree, visible in the Trees<\/a> menu.<\/p>\nIV – Our Grandparents<\/h2>\n
Georges opting for France<\/h3>\n
In 1872, he opted for France and was forced to leave with his family so that his son, born in 1853, would not be considered a deserter by the Second Reich, which had just annexed Alsace-Moselle. This allowed him to return to Alsace every year.
The tannery was entrusted to a nephew who failed to manage it, and it was sold a few years later. Marie-Louise MASSONIE 1<\/strong><\/span><\/em>\u00a0told us that the sale of the property took three days!
Georges STROH, with his wife Louise DANNENBERGER 2<\/span><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0and their children, Georges IV<\/span> and Anna,<\/strong> was welcomed in Meung-sur-Loire by a cousin, Herrenschmitt, a tanner. He then settled in Paris at 6 rue des Petits H\u00f4tels<\/strong> in the Gare de l’Est district. He is buried with his wife at P\u00e8re Lachaise (75th division).<\/p>\n\n

2<\/strong><\/span> Louise Dannenberger was the daughter of Pastor Philippe-Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Dannenberger, pastor of Vendenheim, who, in 1815, offered to replace as hostages the 18 Catholic inhabitants of the neighboring village of Souffelweyersheim. Based on false testimony (which the pastor verified), they had been sentenced to death as snipers. The Prince-General of W\u00fcrttemberg was eventually convinced. General Rapp prepared a report, and King Louis XVIII made him a Knight of the Legion of Honor (ordinance of June 2, 1819).<\/em><\/p>\nGeorges the Parisian<\/h3>\n
They had three children: Henri, Jean-Louis, and Madeleine. They lived in the Latin Quarter in Paris, on Rue Jacob.
Georges returned to Strasbourg in 1920, to be with his son Jean-Louis. He died there in 1926 and is buried in the St. Gall Cemetery, Route de Koenigshoffen.<\/p>\n
