GUTEKUNST
GENEALOGY
Gündringen-Schietingen Line
The the Gündringen-Schietingen
Line appears first with Michael
Gutekunst, who was born there around 1589, and who dies "age
80" in nearby Schietingen on 20 September 20 1669. His wife
is a certain Maria. This
Gündringen line (my ancestry) established itself in neighboring
Schietingen. Here it rapidly multiplies and becomes one of the
dominant families of the village.

Even though
we find an earlier Gutekunst in Gündringen (Jakob Gutekunst
born ca. 1570), who might be the father, older brother or uncle
of the above Michael, the Gündringen branch of the family is also
likely to originate from Haiterbach where we find Gutekunsts as early
as 1545. The reason that I believe this, is that in Gündringen
we have only scattered finds of Gutekunsts, and even before the year
1600 the family has dissappeared there. In Haiterbach however there
is a quite fair number of Gutekunst individuals already in the late
1500s, which is proof that the family had lived in that location for
at least several decades. Another hint is that Jakob Gutekunst's daughter,
Martha Gutekunst (born around 1605), married in 1624 a fellow in Haiterbach
- thus there were connections and population movemets between the two
towns.
The Gutekunst
Family of Gündringen and Schietingen is well documented in the
"Ortssippenbuch", and covers almost 20 pages. The title page
of the Ortssippenbuch, as well as the first page on the Gutekunst are
shown here. This book can be purchased at the Nagold town administration.

In the same Ortssippenbuch descibed above can also be found a
section on the Gutekunst of Iselshausen, that descend from the
Gündringen-Schietingen line.

My line of Gutekunsts branched off and settled in around
1760 in neigbouring Iselshausen. There they lived for three
generations before moving on to Weilimdorf in 1848.
