Rudolph Maerz 1869 Oberstdorf (Germany)
I'm looking for any information regarding the family of Rudolph Maerz (parents/brothers/sisters/cousins/...) who was born in Oberstdorf/Bavaria in 1869! Rudolph Maerz left Bavaria at the end of the 19th century, went to Hannover and married Auguste Knigge in 1901! They had three children, Hermann Maerz, Hildegard Maerz and antoher daughter called Sabine (?) Maerz. The last daughter commited suicide in 1926. Hildegard Maerz lived alone in Hannover and died in 1989! Hermann Maerz (my grandfather) married Luise Scheele in 1937. They lived in Neustadt am Ruebenberge (near Hannover) and had 5 children. Hans Dieter Maerz born in 1937 who's still alive, Gudrun Maerz born in 1938 and died at the age of six years (jaundice), Gunther Maerz born in 1942 (my father)who's still alive, Sibylle Maerz born in 1945 who's still alive and Susanne Maerz born in 1955 (?) who died ten days after birth!
I'm also looking for any information about Christian Maerz. I don't know when he was born. He might have been a uncle or cousin of Rudloph Maerz. Christian Maerz took part at the explorations of Sven Hedin (Tibet/Asia/...)
