Franz Mensch

* 9. 5. 1853  † 14. 2. 1926

Franz Mensch died as a property inspector in Groß Steinort.^[1] His widow Minna, a born Bogdan, survived him by four years. She died at the age of 73 in 1930 and was buried next to her husband.^[2] A son of Franz and Minna was probably Emil Mensch, who in 1892 is mentionded as a hunter’s apprentice in Mittenort. Until 1902/03 he was promoted to forest supervisor in Groß Steinort. Maria Mensch, who in 1928 married Walter Hindenberg, the accountant at Groß Steinort, with whom she still lived there in 1945 and had five sons, may have been a granddaughter of Franz Mensch.^[3]
