The record of his marriage in 1659 in Hochstad states "bei
Dillingen,
Bayern" meaning with a family in Dillingen. Ortssippenbuch,
Oberacker, 1970 has parenthetical note ("Hochstattten unter dem
Grafer
Fucker"). Grafen means Count and Fucker or Fugger was a
wealthy
family that financed the Catholic side of the Counter
Reformation.
Apparently Hochstadt was under the control or rule of the Count
Fugger.
The Fuggers of Augsburg were one of the most influential
banking-houses of the 15th century. Emperor Maximiliam I
(1493-1519)
of the Hapsburg Dynasty as well as several of the Popes had
loans from
the Fuggers, whose wealth was acquired from exploitation of the
German
silver mines. The youngest of three sons of Hans Fugger,
Jacbo, d.
1469 founded the trading company of Fugger and his three sons;
Ulrich,
Georg and Jacob, Jr. carried on the business, intermarried
married
with nobility and in 1473, received a patent of nobility from
Emperor
Frederick III.
Probably the village residents of Dillingen were required to
practice
the Catholic region. Since Oberacker has Protestant Church
records
beginning in 1567 and apparently no Catholic records it is
reasonable
to assume that the early Dellinger families of Oberacker were
Protestant.
It is to be noted that Martin Luther had posted his 95 Theses
against
indulgences granted by the Catholic Church on the castle church
door
in Wittenberg in 1517.
