Note: Joiner and master carpenter in Großenheidorn Nr. 59. He was a soldier in the Schaumburg-Lippe military in the Napoleonic Wars, serving twice in France. He is said to have marched in a victory parade in Berlin after Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo. It was in Berlin that he met his future wife in an inn. He returned to Großenheidorn, but two years later told his uncle about the liason, whereupon the uncle recommended that they go to Berlin to find her. So they hitched up a horse and wagon, packed oats, hay, and straw, and trekked to Berlin. She had returned to her parents in Mecklenburg, but they were given the address and followed her there. There they found her, first their little girl, then the young mother, peeling potatoes in the kitchen. Their joy was great at the reunion. Most likely they married in Mecklenburg, then returned to Großenheidorn. They brought with them a nectarine tree (Apelpeskenbom), descendants of which are still tended in the Thiele family.
