*5*  Anna Katharina Wirtgen (1820-1911)

Short description

Anna Katharina Wirtgen, 1820-1911, born 6 May 1820 in Horhausen (Westerwald), Roman Catholic; died 9 Oct 1911 in Ibbenbüren (Westfalen), aged 90; Note: There is a link here to the Hantelmann family; Paula Hantelmann was born in Ibbenbüren; i.e. not only Martin Faßbender showed up in Ibbenbüren.  What brought her to Ibbenbüren?  She died in the same year in which Erika Faßbender was born.

Father: Anton Wirtgen (one document gives his name first as Wirtchen [= little innkeeper] and in brackets as Wirtgen)

Mother: Maria Katharina Reifenhäuser (One document spells her second name as Catharina. This is presumably the Latinised spelling used by priests. Thus a 'Peter' is documented as 'Petrus', etc.)

She married Christian Faßbender, 1808-1880, in 1855.
