Hello Allan,

 

Again an admission of you, which pleases me well. Reminds me of Trompeter von Säckingen.

Franz Werner Kirchhofer, as “Trompeter von Säckingen” was called with civil name, saw the light of the world as seventh of eight children on 1 April 1633. Born in the jerky days of the 30-jährigen of war, its youth was fulfilled by the stormy events of that time. Franz Werner was straight two years old, when its father died 1635 at the plague, which raffte a tenth of the Säckinger inhabitant shank away. Consciously the then five-year boy experienced probably for the first time all frights of a hostile over case, when 1638 occupied and plünderten Sweden the city. Hunger and emergency accompanied the war and the citizens had become impoverished and on years outside with Kontributionen and debts had loaded. The events of the childhood may have along-formed the character of Werner. He remained time life jerky humans, who walked self-confidently and proudly by the lanes, went often its own way and at the citizenry not always loud friends had. With 19 years it emerged at the university in Freiburg as a student of the Rhetorik. To one or two terms returned he again to Säckingen and now initiated myself the Liebesverhältnis to Maria Ursula von Schönau, over whose exact circumstances no message is delivered to us unfortunately. In the year 1657 the Vermählung must have taken place. That the wedding was not celebrated in Säckingen leaves the difficulties to suspect, which opposed this connection here. The Mr. von Schönau, as lay managers with the local noble lady pin, had their residence in Schlös in the west of the city. There became to 21. May 1632 Maria Ursula born. It was likewise still another child as its father died. Their connection with Werner Kirchhofer opposed above all its brother Otto Heinrich, its stepbrother Franz Rudolph and a relative, Colonel von Grandmont, Obervogt of the rule running castle. They made Maria Ursula not only their being entitled inheritance contentious, but tried the recent pair to hunt. Mr. von Grandmont forbade Werner Kirchhofer even by public call entering the city and the rule running castle and let him “on the highest pursue”. But Kirchhofer knew itself to resist. When it did not receive support from municipal authorities of the city against pursuits, it turned directly to the frontAustrian government in Innsbruck and was here with ore duke Ferdinand Carl immediately energetic assistance. This addressed an energetic letter to the Schönau in April 1659' schen brothers and to Mr. von Grandmont. Thereupon the direct annoyances stopped, the inheritance process however dragged on still for many years. Despite all difficulties Franz Werner and Maria Ursula created their household in Säckingen after the Vermählung and won in the course of the years attention and high estimation of the fellow citizens. Franz Werner became several marks member of the large advice and in the year 1678 also city clerk. Also it went as “Symphoniacus” and a conductor of the singer boys with the fürstlichen pin into action, which may probably have arranged Scheffel from it “Trompeter” to make. By the salt trade, whose state monopoly had Werner Kirchhofer for the upper Rhine quarter in lease, it acquired itself a substantial fortune. he bought the house to 1679 “to stars” in the Säckinger Rhine lane, close the today's 400 years old timber bridge, where “Trompeter von Säckingen” lived with its family time of its life. 1688 were ordered Franz Werner Kirchhofer member of the twenties-advice, to the Weinumgelter and meat appraiser and received the upper supervision over the Rhine ferry, which, since the bridge was down-burned, procured traffic between the city and the left Rhine bank. As an outstanding man Franz Werner Kirchhofer died to 31. May 1690 and a scarce year after, to 21. March 1691 followed it his wife Maria Ursula born of Schönau. From the five of their marriage issued children a boy in the infancy died, two sons studied theology and the two daughters married itself.
