There he married Anna Elisabetha Rau on October 8, 1877 (born November 2, 1857 in Frankfurt am Main). This marriage produced five children, one of whom died at the age of nine. Two sons and a daughter returned to Germany, while one son stayed in Lima and started a large family that still exists today.
