Life
Franz Georg Severus Weckbecker was the second youngest of 5 children. During the French period in the Moselle-Eifel region, he was also called the Moselle King and was a merchant and manor owner.
The Weckbecker family had been tenants of the estate of the counts and later princes von der Leyen in an estate near Münstermaifeld for several generations . After the death of his father Johann, the management of the estate fell to his brother Jakob, so that he had no choice but to serve as servants for the older brother. During the French Revolution , he managed to use his contacts for his successful real estate business and to generate great wealth. The FG Weckbecker family had excellent connections to France, to the upper middle class and the nobility in the Rhineland and used them not least for their son Peter's political work.
When today's cemetery in Münstermaifeld was laid out in 1823 as a replacement for the burial site at the former church of St. Peter, he had given the city a piece of land. Weckbecker received a parcel directly at the entrance. There, tombstones listed in the list of cultural monuments in Münstermaifeld were erected by the family themselves. The system was designed by Vincenz Statz .
The father was Johann Weckbecker (* December 16, 1737 in Münstermaifeld; † June 13, 1790 ibid), his mother Anna Gertrud Albrecht (* 1744 in Ochtendung ; † 1834 in Münstermaifeld).
From the first marriage (I ⚭ August 19, 1806) with Ursula Sophie Eggner (* 1786; † January 24, 1822 in Münstermaifeld) 4 children were born, including Peter Weckbecker . Ursula Sophie Eggner was the only daughter of the town council of Zell. Weckbecker had a lifelong friendship with the politicians August Reichensperger and Peter Reichensperger , who became his brother-in-law. After the death of his first wife, he married Hyacinthe von Heddesdorf on August 21, 1822 (* December 21, 1798 in Differdingen ; † January 22, 1858 in Münstermaifeld).
