Die Schuster aus dem Wiesenttal

shortcut

An origin from Bamberg is mentioned in early church records of Waischenfeld. Coupled with the early practice of shoemaking, a common root with the Lorbers in Gaustadt is likely, which probably comes from the Bourgeois line come from Bamberg.

Progenitor

Pankraz Lorber (probably born in Bamberg, died 1671 in Waischenfeld), since about 1650 in Waischenfeld as a shoemaker. Possibly brother of the pastor Heinrich Lorber (around 1617-1681 in Eggolsheim), since he is named as the best man of Pankraz when he married in 1650.

The family was at least well into the 19th century as a shoemaker and tailor in Waischenfeld. One branch moved to Lintach near Amberg. Some offspring found their luck as clerks and civil servants in Upper and Lower Bavaria and as gold workers in Vienna.
