Baiersberg, Germany - Lutheran - Pasche,Wegner
smjacb
I'm new to research and this group but need some help - guidance. I have a
paper written by my gggrandfather Rev. Friedrich Emil Pache (born 4-8-1972)
and immigrated to america 11-1881. He lived in Baiersberg, Germany. His
father August Friedrich Pasche 1831-1919 (grand Gottfried Pasche and Eve
Marie Wegner) His mother Ernestine Wilhelmine Hoffmann 1843-1925 (grand
Gottfried Hoffmann and Anna Sophia Ritschlag 1817-1874)
So question how do I find the ship and/or passenger log to see who came to
america siblings? Is the town of Baiersberg gone? Can't find it - what
about the church? any help would be appreciated. Michelle

The only town with a similar name I could find is Beyerberg in Bavaria.
In 1977 it had 508 inhabitants (I don't no about now - a bavaria is not
of my interest). Beyerberg is in near Ehingen in the county of
Ansbach.
Ansbach is about 35km west-south-west from Nuremberg. 30km south you'll
find Wassertruedingen and Beyerberg ist 10km northwest of
Wassertruedingen. Maybe that's the village you're looking for.

and ask them if Baiersberg has been an old village. Baiersberg is
now something like a street name in Buschdorf-Zechin.
Buschdorf and Zechin are situated about 65km east of Berlin near the
river Oder which is the Polish border,
35km southeast of Bad Freienwalde and about 66km east of Strausberg.

Michelle <sm....@verizon.net> asks about Baiersberg, Germany, a town she
could not find. This may help:
Hi, Michelle,
As Henning Böttcher writes, Baiersburg was a town located in Kreis Lebus
(later called Kreis Seelow) in Brandenburg Province, Prussia. Cornelia
Willich's "Die Ortsnamen des Landes Lebus" [Town Names in Lebus Land],
Weimar, 1994, 319pp., which is in German, notes that the village was
founded as a so-called Spinnerdorf in "Hohen Busch" in 1764. It was
originally named Schweinberg and later took the name Baiersberg after an
official in Wollup, the Kriegsrat Baier. Three separate communities,
Baiersberg, Gerickensberg and Lehmannshöfel, were consolidated into what is
now known as the Buschdorf community in 1926. Another source of information
about Baiersberg is Werner Michalsky's pamphlet "Zur Geschichte des
Oderbruchs: Die Spinnerdörfer," Herausgeber Kulturamt Druck und
Gesamtherstellung: Druckhaus Friedrichshain, Seelow, 1991.
Udo Frose, in "Das Kolonisationswerk Friedrichs des Großen: Wesen und
Vermächtnis," Heidelberg: Kurt Dowinckel Verlag, 1938, describes Baiersberg
as a Friedrichian colony founded in 1764 with a population of 45 "spinners"
and associated with the nearby colonies, also founded 1764, of
Gerickensberg (47 spinners) and Lehmannshöfel (24 spinners). All three
communities were part of Amt Wollup.
F.W.A. Bratring, who published a statistical survey of people and places in
Brandenburg early in the 19th century, describes Baiersberg as 1/4 mile
south of Wollup in the Oderbruch, est. 1763, and having 35 Budner, 1
Einlieger, various or several Handwerker, and a pub or inn. (You can find
this info in his "Statistiche-Topographische Beschreibung der Gesamten Mark
Brandenburg," reprinted as Veröffentlichungen der Historischen Kommission
zu Berlin, Band 22, Berlin: Walter de Gruyter & Co., 1968.) Bratring shows
24 "hearths" and 218 residents in Baiersberg. The Besitzer or owner of the
village was the Domaine Amt Wollup and the main church was at Zechin. To
explain about the occupants: Budner (or Inleute) were peasants who
possessed no land, who worked as day-wage earners (Tagelöhner) either on
the lord's estate or on the lands of other peasants, and who supplemented
their seasonal agricultural wages with spinning and weaving. An Einlieger
was a free peasant at the lower end of the social scale who and who worked
for and even rented housing from other peasants.
A contemporary German Web site describes Baiersburg, Gerickensberg, and
Lehmannshöfel as Buschdörfer, since they were founded in a forested part of
the Oderbruch known as the Hohen Busch; says they were settled by
Spinnerfamilien providing goods for the Berliner Lagerhaus (warehouse); and
notes that they were consolidated into the village of Buschdorf in 1926 and
subsequently, in 1998, joined the communities of Friedrichsaue and Zechin
as part of the new Zechin. I don't have the Web address at hand but you
should be able to easily find it using a search engine. There are a number
of other historical resources for Baiersburg which I have either not seen
or am not including here, including a little sketch in the Berliner
Morgenpost of 20 August 2000 (this you also could consult on the Internet).
The main LDS film of Baiersburg parish registers is Film 1334904, which
includes Kirchenbuch 467, Baiersberg, Kr. Lebus, 1811-1864. You'll find
some Baiersburg church records from the mid-1860s in Kirchenbuch 470, which
is on LDS Film 1334905, classified by the LDS as "Hermersdorf, 1812-1835."
And, Henning Böttcher take note, there are a lot of Böttchers throughout
the 1820s on Film 1334905 as well.
I am studying the Zochert surname in the Oderbruch, and would love to hear
from anyone researching their own families in this general area.
