The Hellmannsberg Estate

The Suttor family estate since 1819.
The estate originally belonged the Bavarian Dukes, then to a Catholic order.
The family burying ground is on the estate, where Johannes (1765-1844) Suttor is buried.
Located in Bavaria, Germany

JOHANNES SUTTOR (b. 1765) Came from St. Goarshausen at the Rhine River to Bavaria at the beginning of the 19th century.
Johannes married Magdalena Stahley from Fränkisch-Crumbach (Odenwald).
Johannes lived as a tenant and managed Kaisheim estate from 1804 to 1811.
Located near Donauworth, the Kaisheim Abbey was founded in 1134.
Beginning 1811 the Forsthof estate with its rambling fields and pastures was leased to the Mennonnites Friedrich Hage and Johann Suttor for twelve years.
In 1819, daughter Catharina married Christian Oesch and this young family also lived on the Forsthof estate.
This enabled father Johannes to take up other activities, such as leasing Hellmannsberg estate with his son Christian in 1819.
A year later he and Christian Ingold leased the Oberhaunstadt Castle estate of 324 acres.
