    •      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.

      "...the photo of the old Starkebaum-house Nr. 47 in Sonneborn....It´s the house in which the family of Heinrich Hermann Starkebaum (born 15 Apr 1800) and Elisabeth Ridder lived, in which their son´s, even whose who emigrated, were born and in which my great-grandmother lived in till her death. I´m really sure these statements are correct. The photo was taken in 1941. The adress of the house today is 'Alte Dorfstrasse 25.' Other earlier generations of the Starkebaums lived on farms with No. 34 and No. 76 according to the church records and 'Eheprotokolle.' "
