The Genealogy of the Dautermann Family

The genealogy and intertext commentary presented here was the work of the late Theodor Dautermann who spent many years in genealogical research. The English translation as well as some additional commentary was provided by Fritz Philip Dauterman. Several corrections and additional data were provided by Irmgard Dautermann. Finally, the information and assistance provided by Altalbert-Wilhelm Dautermann in updating this genealogy has been invaluable.

There are two theories regarding the origin of the family name Dautermann. One theory posits that the first syllable of Dautermann is etymologically related to the proto-Germanic word "tiu" meaning "people". The second theory holds that the name Dautermann stems from Dautenheim, a small village in Rhineland-Pfalz. Historically, the name Dautermann, specifically the names of Otto and Mattheis, first appears in 1654 in the records of the county of Falkenstein under the heading of the town of Neu-Bamberg (Bad Kreuznach). Further information about our forbears is not known, having been lost in the Thirty Years War. Hans Peter Dautermann born in 1671 in Neu-Bamberg married Maria Catherina Bock (born June 30, l676) on February 2, 1700. She was the daughter of Mattheis Bock, the village mayor of both Hahnmuhle and Falkenstein.

Unfortunately it was not possible to establish all the lineages of the Dautermann family but it quite certain that all the Dautermanns in our region - Pfalz - stem from our ancestors Otto, Mattheis, and Hans Peter. The information given here derives from the following sources: Die Geschichte der Hahnmuhle (Norpfalzer Geschichtsverein) Standesamter, the Evangelische Pffarramter, and the Evangelische Landeskirchenarchiv Speyer.

Before emigrating to the village of Crvenka, Peter Dautermann worked as a nailsmith in Diemeringen, Alsace. Married in 1771, he emigrated with his family in 1784, having received a grant of land from the Austrian empress Maria Theresa. According to a settlers list in the Hofkammerarchiv in Vienna, Peter Dautermann went to Hungary with 7 persons, was registrated on 21.06.1784, and he had: one house, one-half "section" of fields (320 acres) and one vineyard. Peter was an especially courageous and robust man. After the emigration to Crvenka, he lived for 24 more years, having endured the physically-demanding settlement. Crvenka (spelled Tscherwenka in German) is located in the Vojvodina region of Yugoslavia. The city lies near the confluence of the Danube and Tisza rivers, approximately 100 miles northwest of Belgrade and 18 miles southwest of Backa-Topola. Historically, the city over the past two hundred years has been part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, then Hungary, later Yugoslavia, and now Serbia. Peter Johann was the father of the nine children listed in Generation 6.
