Origin and family

Johann Friedrich II. Götz sprang from the from Sinsheim originating family idol that the by its eponymous grandfather innkeeper to harp since 1791 in Neckarsteinach is established and for their advancement in the sector of inland waterways he and several quarry owner, stone dealers in the stone industry and Schiffer master in the Stone Marine laid the foundation stone. The Götz family advanced to become one of the most important dynasties of shipping on the Neckar, to whose economic history they contributed as much as to the history of shipping itself.

He was born the eldest of four sons of the master butcher Christian Götz (1783–1841) and in 1850 married Eve Katherine Krieger (1826–1910) from Neckarhausen , eldest daughter of the inheritor , judge , councilor and alderman Daniel Krieger (1801-1877). This marriage had ten children, seven of whom reached adulthood.

About his son Ludwig Friedrich (1865-1922) he was the grandfather of the two shipping entrepreneurs, the founder of motor freight shipping in the Neckar area and pioneers of the German inland shipping Ludwig (1887-1955) and Jakob Götz (1890-1977), who founded 1920 on the basis of the grandfather's stone shipping company the Ludwig and Jakob Götz oHG founded. Through his daughter Sibylla Luise (1854–1885) he was also the grandfather of the two shipping entrepreneurs and pioneers of passenger shipping on the Neckar Georg (1881–1946) and Andreas Boßler (1884–1961), as was the great-grandfather of the shipping company Herbert Bossler (1907–1999) ).

Stone shipping

Quarries

Quarry border across from Pleutersbach near Eberbach

Johann Friedrich II. Götz owned the following quarries in the Neckar Valley in Baden and Hesse:

The stones extracted from the quarries of Johann Friedrich II. Götz in Götz were classified and so classified for different purposes. Stone material of the first quality class, so-called pebbles , were used for hydraulic engineering on the Rhine and its tributaries and as paving stones to secure the embankments on the Neckar . Second grade stone material was used as building material for port facilities. Due to their versatility, these stones were called wall stones . Stone material of the third quality class was used without further processing as it was broken in the quarries. The quarries were worked by 10 to 20 day laborers and smaller farmers . The work was mostly stopped during the harvest, as the employed farmers were busy with the production of their harvest in this phase. The brothers Ludwig and Jakob Götz continued the quarries and acquired more. The stones quarried from the Götz quarries were also used in the construction of the BASF acid canals.

Winter harbor

Johann Friedrich II. Götz was also in charge of the negotiations that had been going on since the 1870s for the construction of a winter harbor in Neckarsteinach, which was finally completed in 1892 by the construction company Grün & Bilfinger from Mannheim .

The winter harbor replaced the Baumgarten square in Neckarsteinach, which was used in winter to drag the ships to prevent them from icing up. The completed winter harbor also provided a place for the barges used by Johann Friedrich II. Götz in the stone industry . It was able to offer a total of 50 cargo ships a location for wintering and was used until 1930.

Straightening the Rhine

The monument The Paths of the Rhine in Leopoldshafen commemorates the correction of the river according to plans by Tulla for which Johann Friedrich II. Götz supplied stones

The stone shipping company of Johann Friedrich II. Götz was also involved in the Upper Rhine regulation planned by Johann Gottfried Tulla . The barges loaded with stones from the Goetz quarries were towed as far as Plittersdorf near Karlsruhe in order to be manually unloaded by workers.

The competitiveness of the stones from the quarries of Johann Friedrich II. Götz was only given up to Karlsruhe, as the granite from the quarries of the Black Forest was used further up the Rhine for the straightening work of the river. The sections of the construction work for the Rhine regulation, which were supplied, changed nevertheless.
