Heinrich Hermann was born at Hof 47.

Heinrich married Ridder, Elisabeth 30 Apr 1826, Sonneborn, Principality of Lippe. Elisabeth (daughter of Ridder, Johann Friedrich and Budde, Anna Margretha Elisabeth) was born 28 Oct 1800, Sonneborn, Principality of Lippe; died 20 Apr 1872, Sonneborn, Principality of Lippe. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Married:

     Heinrich and Elisabeth resided in house number 47 in Sonneborn. It was here that their children were born and raised. In 2002, the house was still very much in use, the address having changed to Alte Dorfstraße 25.
     Earlier generations of the Starkebaums lived on farms number 34 and 76 (it has not been possible to locate these farms in contemporary Sonneborn).

Marriage Contract:

     In the Principality of Lippe until about 1870, it was customary for engaged couples to register their intended marriage with the nearest office of the Lower Court (German = Amt). This registration, or Eheprotokoll, typically recorded the couple's names and intended place of residence after marriage, the names of their parents, and most importantly, the dowry and any other financial arrangements connected with the marriage. By registering these details with the judicial court, the Eheprotokoll served as a marriage contract. In the 1870s, as license bureaus were established and civil marriages became more common, the use of Eheprotokoll began to died out.
