1854 Wanted Men from Baden

WANTED MEN FROM BADEN....1854

Several people have written recently about their ancestors escaping conscription.
I think there were two main waves of this in Baden, just after the 1848/49 revolutions and
after the unification of Germany in 1871. Of course it continued at a lower level before,
between and after these periods.

Although many didn't take an active part in the revolutions, there were still many
sympathisers who after the revolutions were quashed, wanted to get away from Baden, and not
serve with the army, so they emigrated illegally.

The last revolution was quashed with the help of the Prussians, and the Prussians have
remained very unpopular in Baden ever since.

Once Germany was united under Prussia, many from Baden didn't want their sons to go into
the German/Prussian army and encouraged them to go abroad to escape conscription.

These were the main causes of the two waves.

As far as I understand, before 1871, boys were registered at the age of 16 for possible
military service. Potential recruits were drawn by lot. They had to report in December
or January before their 21st birthday, for a medical. (In other words when they were 20 years old.)

If a recruit didn't turn up for this muster, the authorities published "wanted notices"
in the "Grossherzoglich Badisches Anzeigeblatt," and if the conscript didn't report to the
authorities within a stipulated period, he was stripped of his Baden nationality, local rights
and fined 800 Gulden (in the mid 1850's). This fine was about the cost of 2 normal houses
at the time. Naturally the conscript had usually disappeared out of Baden, but the authorities
then took the money from his future inheritence from his father. This caused many fathers to
go bankrupt. For this reason, sometimes father's encouraged their sons to emigrate as 15 year
olds, so that they were never registered for military service. Sometimes a father organized that
his son travelled with relations or friends who were emigrating legally.

The practical use of this information for researchers is that they can find the "wanted notices"
in the "Grossherzoglich Badisches Anzeigeblatt."
These are available in most archives in Baden, but are regional, so it is necessary to check in an
archive near to the conscripts home village. The good news is that these were collected into annual
indexed volumes, so usually it's not difficult to find an ancestor.

Using German Newspapers 1780-1914 for Emigration Research

NOTE: I should stress that the conscripts listed here didn't necessarily emigrate in 1854.
They could have emigrated anytime between their 16th and 20th birthday.
Their absence was first noticed in 1854.

Following is a list of "wanted men" from the Oberrheinkreis in 1854
taken from the Herzoglich Badisches Anzeigeblatt.
The majority were escaping conscription, but there are also illegal
emmigrants, and criminals amongst them.

Many of the names are abbreviated e.g.
Joh. =Johann,
Bernh. = Bernhard etc.
The married couples were probably illegal emmigrants.

If anyone recognises a name,
I can supply more information, but please be patient.

*Bender, Joh. Georg
from Heidelberg Lot 168, didn´t report for his military duty,
probably because he had already illegally emigrated. Men were drawn by lot in the
year of their 21st birthday, assuming they´d previously passed the medical.
Briefly the entry translates; (Heidelberg) from the birth year 1833,
didn´t report at his muster.
He is ordered to report here within 6 weeks or will face personal
punishment of a fine of 800 Gulden, and the loss of the national and local rights.
Heidelberg, 6th February 1854.
--A second entry dated 27th March 1854 confirms that he did not report and
therefore was fined 800 Gulden and stripped of his national and local rights.
An average house cost around 400 Gulden at this time, so it was
a hefty fine. A year later it was reduced to 400 Gulden. The money would have
been taken from the money that he could have expected to inherit from
his father. There was a law that all children inherited equal shares.

Sentence
(Neckarbischofsheim) Nr. 2170. In that the conscripts Georg Dietrich did not respond to the order from dated 7th December of last year Nr. 19,187

Benitz (Benitz is the name of the official who was in charge of this case.)

800 Gulden was a large fine. An average house cost around 400 Gulden at this time. The authorities would have tried to get this money from
any money that he could have expected to inherit. Baden law at the time stated that all children must inherit equally from their
parents, and also if a brother or sister died without children then their brothers and sisters could also expect to inherit some money. This
illegal emigration amde some father´s bankrupt. It would be interesting to find out if Karl Friedrichs parents were still alive.

Gottlieb, Johann, Landolin, and Paul.
All the later ones disappeared from Baden in 1854.
Where they went to isn't given, but probably "Nordamerika" North America.

Briefly the entry translates; (Heidelberg) from the birth year 1833,
didn´t report at his muster.
He is ordered to report here within 6 weeks or will face personal
punishment of a fine of 800 Gulden, and the loss of the national and local rights.
Heidelberg, 6th February 1854.
--A second entry dated 27th March 1854 confirms that he did not report and
therefore was fined 800 Gulden and stripped of his national and local rights.
An average house cost around 400 Gulden at this time, so it was
a hefty fine. A year later it was reduced to 400 Gulden. The money would have
been taken from the money that he could have expected to inherit from
his father. There was a law that all children inherited equal shares.

*Kienzler, Franz Xaver
Franz Xaver Kienzler from Gremmelsbach deserted from the 3rd
Infantry Regiment, and was ordered to report back or face losing his
local and national rights, and being fined 1200 Gulden.
Grenadier Johann Kinzler from Singen had also deserted from the
army and it was suspected that he had emigrated to America. He was
similarly ordered to report or lose his local and national rights and
the legal fine imposed.
Their places of origin are not near one another so I think it is
unlikely that they were related.

(800 Gulden was a large fine. An average house cost around 400 Gulden at this time. The authorities would have tried to get this money from
any money that he could have expected to inherit. Baden law at the time stated that all children must inherit equally from their
parents, and also if a brother or sister died without children then their brothers and sisters could also expect to inherit some money. This
illegal emigration made some father´s bankrupt.

including many from Waibstadt in the period 1850-55, so it may well be that Karl Friedrich emigrated with other family members. Maybe with his
parents, which would have solved the fine problem. Those from Waibstadt are entries 50-58 from memory.

is dated 20th November 1854.

*Winkler, Philipp
from Dossenheim Lot 194, didn´t report for his military duty, probably because he had already illegally emigrated. Men were drawn by lot in the
year of their 21st birthday, assuming they´d previously passed the medical.
Briefly the entry translates; (Heidelberg) from the birth year 1833, didn´t report at his muster.
He is ordered to report here within 6 weeks or will face personal
punishment of a fine of 800 Gulden, and the loss of the national and local rights.
Heidelberg, 6th February 1854.
--A second entry dated 27th March 1854 confirms that he did not report and therefore was fined 800 Gulden and stripped of his national and local rights.
An average house cost around 400 Gulden at this time, so it was a hefty fine. A year later it was reduced to 400 Gulden. The money would have
been taken from the money that he could have expected to inherit from his father. There was a law that all children inherited equal shares.

There is another report on page 415 about them, but unfortunately
this page is missing from my book.

This information comes from the "Grossherzoglich Badisches Anzeigeblatt,"
which I believe was published twice weekly throughout the year. At the
end of a year, a book was made of the years entries, principally for
officials on the town and village councils to use for reference. The annual
version is indexed, and the list of names comes from the "Wanted" part of
the index. (Aufforderung, Fahndung, und Fahndungszuruecknahmen) There are
also other sections for - The paying off of tithes. By this I mean getting
the tithes out of existance. - Emigration -Inheritence and declarations of
being lost. These were declarations, to say that someone's location wasn't
known, and that their inheritance could now go to the next alternative.
(Vollschollheitserklaerung) - Sentences - (Straferkentnisse)
These are mainly announcements that a army deserter mention in the wanted pages,
hadn't report, and the threatened punishments were being applied. In other
words the names in the wanted list, reoccur in this sentencing list.

If anyone recognises a name,
I can supply more information, but please be patient.

It was asked whether there was a similar list of wanted people for Wurtenberg,
similar to the lists I wrote out from the Grossherzoglich Badisches Anzeige-Blatt
for 1854 and 1855, I sent a mail to the Hauptstaatsarchiv Stuttgart.

There were also in Wurtemberg similar Announcement publications as
well as the law publications -

1850 - 1934 Staatsanzeiger for Wuerttemberg=20
1935 - 1945 Regierungs-Anzeiger for Wuerttemberg=20
1950 - Staatsanzeiger for Baden-Wuerttemberg

Previous to this was the
"Koeniglich-Wuerttemberg'sches allgemeines Landes-Intelligenz-Blatt und Stuttgarter Anzeiger"
which they don't have in the Hauptstaatsarchiv Stuttgart.

There was a partial publication for 1850-1875 which was published in
1877- Der Staatsanzeiger f=FCr W=FCrttemberg . a collection of the official notices
and announcements which weren't published in the Regierungsblatt 1850 - 1875,
with an index by Fr. Nick. - Stuttgart : Koch, 1877 - 330 pages.

Thanks to Jon for his transcriptions and look-ups.
