Anna Margarethe Raumburger, portrait from 1766

Johann Hartmann Senckenberg was a son of the Protestant pharmacist Johannes Senkenberg from Friedberg and his wife Anna Catharina, nee. Henrici. He completed a medical degree in Strasbourg and then opened a practice in Friedberg, where he was twice appointed junior mayor. After losing three children in Friedberg, he and his wife Maria Margaretha, born von den Birghden, moved to Frankfurt in 1688, where his wife died in 1703. From 1700 Senckenberg was Frankfurt City Physicus (Physicus primarius). In his second marriage he married Anna Margarethe Raumburger, who was described by the biographers Georg Ludwig Kriegk and Rudolf Jung as having a very problematic character. The couple had five children, including a girl who died early, as well as the sons Heinrich Christian (1704–1768), lawyer and Reichshofrat in Vienna, the doctor, naturalist and founder Johann Christian (1707–1772), Conrad Hieronymus (1709– 1739), pharmacist in London, and the lawyer Johann Erasmus (1717–1795), who was considered a maverick and died in prison.
