A house in Lauf near Zapfendorf
shortcut
Still relatively young branch of the Würgauer side branch.
Progenitor
Adam Lorber (1870-1930), railway worker from Würgau, who married Kunigunda Steblein from Lauf near Zapfendorf in 1899 and founded a family there.
Werdegang
The family quickly gained a foothold and made a name for themselves with hard work and family reasons. Adam's eldest son Josef (1900-1981) was particularly successful in this. Born with his wife Clothilde Betz (1902-1966) had 21 (!) Children in Forchheim in 21 years - among them not a single multiple birth.
