history

Historical Gent - the birthplace of Gerhard van Stoeckhardt

The family goes back to Gerhard van Stoeckhardt (1563–1651), who was expelled from Flanders for religious reasons and immigrated to Saxony . The exact time of immigration is not known. His son Gerhard was born in Dresden around 1626. It is possible that Gerhard van Stoeckhardt fled the Dutch provinces with his parents much earlier. The Spanish governor, Duke of Alba , led a regiment of terror against the spreading Protestantism from 1567 to 1573. During his reign until 1586, Elector August von Sachsen recruited around 20,000 immigrants from the Netherlands and thus laid the foundation for the successful Saxon textile industry in the following centuries.
