The oldest Schickhardts in Siegen

The Schickhardt family comes from Siegen . There were several people with this name there in the 15th century. They were usually craftsmen. According to the oldest citizen register of the city of Siegen, a Hanß Schickart (probably born around 1420) owned a house in Loirgasse (today's Löhrstrasse ). In 1461, a "Jonger Schickart", possibly a son of Hanß, was mentioned in the register of the autumn estimate in the Siegen and Rödger parishes . At the same time, in 1460, a Johannes Schickart de Sygen was studying in Erfurt . This first academic among the Schickhardts could have been another son of Hanß Schickart.

At the same time, the carver Hentze Schickart (* around 1430) lived in Siegen , who at the end of the 15th century left this town with his wife Gela and their son Heinrich to head south. This Hentze Schickart, who was perhaps a brother of Hanß Schickart, gave the beginning of the Swabian line. Although he died during the wandering, his son Heinrich settled in Herrenberg and married Margarete Homel in 1503, who had probably also come from Siegen.

Siegen line

Purchase contract between Hen & Nesa Scheff and Gudte Sondag dated August 2, 1549. The Siegen councilor Hans Schickhart is named as the first witness.

While the genealogy of Schickhardt's Swabian line has been passed down without gaps in the 16th century, the genealogy of the Siegen line can no longer be reconstructed. This is because the older church registers of the city of Siegen have been lost - the baptismal registers do not start until 1623, the marriage registers from 1675 and the death registers from 1692. In the Siegen city archive there were many other old documents (mayor's accounts, travel expense receipts, lists, etc.) that could be used as secondary sources. A large part of it, which had been stored in the vault of the Siegen Reichsbahn branch and had not yet been evaluated, was unfortunately destroyed in 1946 by a flood. From the available secondary sources it is very difficult and incomplete to draw conclusions about the genealogy. From the year 1549 z. B. delivered a deed of purchase, from which it emerges that the Siegen councilor Hans Schickhart acted as a witness in the transaction.

Horst Schmid-Schickhardt established a genealogy of the academic line (a sub-line of the Siegen line), which only began in the middle of the 16th century. Although he did this with great care, he does not rule out the possibility that this genealogy may contain errors. At that time, all of Siegen Schickhart's were Calvinists . The academic line had many connections with the Netherlands after Jacob Schickhart found work and recognition there in 1614. After him, three of his siblings Philip Herman, Philip and Magdalena, as well as his uncle Martin in 1629, emigrated to the Netherlands in the following years . The Thirty Years' War contributed to this emigration , as the Calvinist Schickharts had to fear for their lives. A few other Schickharts, such as a brother and a cousin of Jacob, Martin Schickhard and Aegidius Schickhard studied in the Netherlands but returned to Germany. Many other Schickharts who were craftsmen, especially steel smiths in Siegen, left this city in the middle / end of the 17th century because the working conditions in the city had become unfavorable for them compared to the competition in the countryside. In the course of the 17th century all Schickhart's victories left, so that this name no longer appears in the traditional church records. The composer Johann Christian Schickhardt from Braunschweig , whose grandparents probably emigrated to Braunschweig from Siegen or Herborn , also belongs to the Siegen line .

Swabian line

Old family tree of the Swabian Schickhardt line (woodcut)

In the Swabian line there were initially artistically gifted craftsmen who found their best representative in the master builder Heinrich Schickhardt . Soon - with Paul Schickhart (1548–1609) - their representatives began to study. Most of them left it to a simple study of theology and employment as pastors, but with Wilhelm Schickard came a universal scholar of great standing. The Swabian Schickhardts had been Protestant since the Reformation.

The Baden line forms a side line of the Swabian line. It goes back to Johann Sebastian Schickhardt, a doctor from Stuttgart who was a grandson of Lucas Schickhardt (II.) . He married Maria Ursula Ettlinger in Gernsbach in 1670 . His son Ludwig Daniel Schickhardt (* 1674) married Maria Elisabeth Kast in 1699 and was bailiff of Eberstein Castle . Her son Johann Ludwig Schickhardt was the main skipper in Gernsbach. Another son of Sebastian Schickhardt, Casimir, who was a raft dealer in Calmach near Wildbad , married Maria Clara Kast in 1714. Their only daughter Catherine Schickhardt was the second wife of Johann Georg Katz, who was a boatman in Gernsbach in 1737. This led to the connection of the important Kast - Katz - Schickhardt families, who were referred to as "wood barons" in Murgtal . There were forest owners, raft owners, sawmill owners and long-distance trade merchants who had already joined forces in the Middle Ages to form the cooperative Murgschifferschaft. In the Murg Valley, the name Schickhardt is still so closely associated with shipowners that Casimir Paul Katz gave this name to the fictional main character in his novel Die Holzbarone (2005).
