Life
Friedrich Stolz was the son of Johann Dietrich Stolz and Elisabeth Cron. It was shaped by the Siegerland pietistic community movement . In 1859 he married Sophie Catherine Baumgarten, widowed Hartmann, and moved into what is now the Eiserfeld Museum of Local History. Stolz was a member of a mining trade union and owned the Reinhold Forster Erbstollen together with Johann Steinseifer and Catharina Hartmann . This tunnel belongs to the Eisenzecher Zug in Eiserfeld and with its total length (including the secondary tunnel) of 7,597.5 m is the second longest tunnel in North Rhine-Westphalia. Friedrich Stolz earned a considerable fortune there, which formed the basis for the training of his stepson Karl Hartmann and enabled his son Wilhelm Stolz to acquire the Alter Hammer smithy in Eiserfeld.
