Biography

Thielmann (Theil) Ackermann was born at Hoof or Elgershausen about 1625 son of Hans Ackermann, der Buchmüller. He married Catherina at nearby Elgershausen in 1648 and lived there a while, but about 1660 the family moved to nearby Altentritte. Several children were baptized at Altentritte, but eventually the family returned to Hoof. Thiel was a miller as well as a Bergsteiger (mine inspector) at the coal mining works in Habichtwald, about five kilometers north of Hoof and died at Hoof in 1710, "age 94 years and 6 months." This age is definitely exaggerated by about ten years, but to survive the Thirty Years War, the epidemics and famines that ensued, and live a long, active life in the disastrous 17th century was a very rare occurrence, indeed!
