Friedrich Bremser in München, der „Erfinder“ des Fertighauses aus Pappe

Die Digitalisierung alter Bücher und Zeitungen durch Google hat in den letzten Jahren einiges über das Leben eines Mannes ans Tageslicht gebracht, den man als den geistigen Erfinder des Fertighauses (aus Pappe) bezeichnen kann – wenn auch nur mit einem Schmunzeln, denn er hat seine Erfindung nur theoretisch beschrieben und wohl nicht in die Realität umgesetzt.

Bremser - Emigrants

Emigration of Bremser and Broemser families

During the Independence war the count of Hesse sold soldiers to North America to fight against the British empire. We do not know whether they returned to Germany, died or remained in the States after the war ended.

Later during the first half of the 19th century other Bremser families must have emigrated to the USA because between 1850 and 1866 some Bremser family members married and up to now I wasn´t able to find out to which family they belong.

The below lists show the known people – either single persons or heads of families - who were listed in immigration records or of whom I know of their emigration by either German or US sources. These sources are named below the lists.

In the chapter ‘Portraits of the pioneers’ which is also linked within the lists you can find more detailed information about known immigrants.

Not all of the below listed families seem to derive from our family. In fact, for the ones from eastern Germany like Strelitz or Spandau or from Eastern Europe it is rather unlikely that they originally derive from the Rhinegau or Taunus area.
 

An overview that I was able to create with the help of Ancestry in 2005 shows how many Bremser families immigrated to the US by year between 1853 and 1889 (the years before Ellis Island opened):

Source: Ancestry

In total 38 families immigrated within 37 years which means an average of about one family per year (in fact there were years without any Bremser immigrant). Heights were at 1854 and 1872. In the other years there were 0 to 2 immigrants per year and one year with 3 (1869)

As I didn´t check at Ancestry for a complete overview I currently do not know all these people by name.

The Ellis Island records list a lot of immigrants of Bremser family members in the years of 1892 to 1957 but not all of them seem to be first time immigrants. Some names appear multiple times and it seems that the people traveled forth and back. The below list includes just the first time that a family or member of the Bremser family arrived at Ellis Island.

Emigrants to Kanada

Emigrants to South America

Just one known emigrant ... (information to follow)

 

Emigrants to Australia

Just one known emigrant:

Henry Carl Broemser, born at 3rd March 1851 in Lorch/Rheingau as son of Heinrich Peter Brömser and Christina Müller. He married 1881 in Koblenz Christine Probst from Koblenz. Their first son George was born 1882  in Lorch/Rheingau. He emigrated with his wife Christina and infant son on the ship "El Dorado" to Australia, arriving on 26th June 1883. They took up residence in Toowoomba, Queensland. Henry was a stonemason/bricklayer who worked for the Toowoomba Council constructing the original kerbing and channelling in the streets of Toowoomba, which at the time was a small country town in its infancy. He was a very busy man and obviously a hard worker. His work also included working at the local quarry, extracting the stones to undertake his drainage work around the town streets. Henry and Christina had a further 7 children, 4 of which sadly died at a very young age (less than 12 months). The surviving children (not including George) were:
Henry Peter born 1883. Married Alice Zoller in 1910. He was also a bricklayer.
Christina born 1887. Married William Runge in 1915.
William Joseph born 1896. Married Annie Hartigan in 1924.

Henry Peter died at 16th July 1916 in Toowoomba, Queensland/Australia. His widow Christine followed him in 1926
