Life and origin

Ludwig Götz was born as the eldest of five children of the shipper and quarry owner Ludwig Friedrich Götz (1865–1922) and his wife of the skipper, ferryman and church minister's daughter Karoline Oestreicher (1867–1932). He was a grandson of the inn owner , industrialist , shipping entrepreneur and multiple quarry owner Johann Friedrich II. Götz (1820-1892). His younger brother was the future ship owner and quarry owner Jakob Götz. Ludwig comes from the Götz entrepreneurial family, who have lived in Neckarsteinach since the second half of the 18th century.

His cousins included the two shipping entrepreneurs and pioneers of the white shipping on the Neckar Georg (1881-1946) and Andreas Boßler (1884-1961).

The entrepreneur Ludwig Götz was born with Barbara Götz. Ulmer (1890–1976) married. His wife came from a family that community councils , church warden, Grand Duke of Hesse councilor and mayor in Neckarsteinach presented. Ludwig Götz's descendants are related through his wife Barbara to the Heuss and Kappes families, who, among other things, belong to the old sailor families.

Like his father and grandfather, he learned the trade of boatman.

Companies

Ludwig's father had the first of already in 1907 iron -made barge named Friedrich can put into service. This ship replaced the wooden ships used by the ancestors to transport the stones from the quarries over the Neckar to their customers. The second iron tugboat that Ludwig's father put into service was completed in 1912 as a sibling love at the Neckarsulm shipyard. In 1920 Ludwig Friedrich Götz handed over his two iron ships to his sons. The barge Friedrich went to the two brothers Ludwig and Jakob Götz, the other barge was handed over to the brother Karl Götz, who was active as a particular .

The two brothers Ludwig and Jakob Götz worked together on the ship Friedrich at the beginning . During the low water on the Neckar, armourstones were produced from the family's own quarries, which were necessary for the expansion of the Neckar into a major waterway and which were accepted by the hydraulic engineering administration.

That is why Ludwig Götz commissioned the first motor cargo ship on the Neckar in 1924 and built it at the Anderssen shipyard in Neckarsulm . This was named MS Gebrüder Götz and was launched on March 25, 1925. In 1927 the motor cargo ship Einigkeit followed , which was built by Gassner in Neckarsteinach. Ludwig Götz was now sailing the goods motor ship Einigkeit without his brother Jakob.

In 1920 the shipping company Ludwig and Jakob Götz oHG was officially founded by Ludwig Götz and his younger brother Jakob Götz. In 1952 it was converted into a limited partnership .

Due to the construction contract and the commissioning of the motor ship Gebrüder Götz , the first motorized ship in the Neckar area, Ludwig Götz was one of the founders of motor freight shipping on the Neckar.

In view of the first ever new ship MS Vierburgenstadt after the Second World War in Germany, which was commissioned by the Götz shipping company in 1949 and took place in 1950, the two brothers Ludwig and Jakob Götz became pioneers of inland shipping.

Ludwig Götz, together with his brother Jakob, continued the quarries of his grandfather Johann Friedrich II. Götz and his father Ludwig Friedrich Götz and, together with his younger brother, acquired the following quarries in the Neckar valley in addition to the quarries already owned by the family.
