03 May 1539 C50 (5) Two Pages. Completely Translated.

To my right honourable, respected Lord, Palatine Elector, this is a request sent by your very faithful servant : concerning the office of provost of Soufflenheim, you wrote some time ago that I should send a report concerning advantage and disadvantage to this ; I can just say that at this time Hans Jacob Knobloch is holding the office of provost of Soufflenheim, and has accepted it ; however in my opinion my function of under bailiff would authorize me to name a provost ; as the former provost Mathis Reinwalt has contested this nomination and pretends to come back to this function ; so this is my request that I am allowed to keep the man I named Hans Jacob Knobloch as a provost, as I am authorized as under bailiff to name him.

As I do not find advantage or disadvantage to this function of provost of Soufflenheim, my request to you is that I can decide about the function of the named Knobloch as provost in Soufflenheim, that his wages would be left at 2 Gulden for his function, and not advise him about this question, this is my humble request to you, written this 3rd Maÿ 1539 and signed. Passed in Haguenau 3rd March 1539 : signed Conrad von Rechberg, Under bailiff.

Gabriel Müller provost in Soufflenheim requests humbly that his horse that he has lost in the last time, would be replaced, and in consideration of his poor situation, that a sum allowing him to buy another one would be granted as needed for his function. This request has been transmitted by the officers of the bailliffrick of Haguenau to Maximilian of Austria. They add to this that ; in consideration of his good services, and that he was not cause that he lost the horse, but bad people had decided to do harm, on the other side he is a rather poor man, and rather aging, with many children, so it would be fit to think of a better payment of his services, so that the officers suggest that only the horse should be replaced, but a larger sum granted to prove your appreciation and concern ; the officers are confident that your Highness will feel compassion with this good servant, and sign. Haguenau 14 February 1606. The bailiff, and counselors of Under : Rudolff Graf zu Zultz, Gerg Streinle.

December 1551 C50 (8) Two Pages. Completely Translated.

Fredrich Graf Churfurst, sends his greetings to our dear faithful friend ; I did receive both your two letters concerning the present provost of Soufflenheim and your desire to change him for the one you have chosen for this office, among other requests, concerning the content of these letters after consideration my decision is the following : concerning the levee of troops and guards, that you should receive this amount in a few days, and this we have already ordered and also discussed that you will receive them and that their payment as you have proposed should range between five or six gulden, and concerning this exact amount you will have to contact our accounter (Zinsmeister) so that he also will receive cost and meals that will be needed ; you are also authorized to name a provost in for a year ; third : you asked me concerning the present provost of Soufflenheim, Bernhart Vester, and that you want him dismissed of his functions. So I authorize you hereby to negotiate with Heinrich Schlupfer concerning his functions, and let known the decision to the Chancellor.

We have also decided that Bernhard Vester provost in Soufflenheim in his office there, as your intention is to have him dismissed ; we can authorize this but the legal way must be respected, and our discussion for the moment not opened to him nor anybody, so that it will only be on the right moment, when you have contacted Heinrich Schlupfer and discussed with him that this can be officialized in front of our Court (Canzlei) and that this will take the form of a decree decided by our authority and the dismissing will precede very soon the installation of the new provost, as from both your letters sent to me and to which I give the best attention and benevolent feeling.

December 1551 C50 (8) Completely Translated

Do not give any payment of wages to Hans Jacob Knobloch as provost, and decide yourself if you choose this Hans Jacob Knobloch or someone else as it is your privilege of bailiff to decide ; however I must say that a few days ago Mathis Reinwalt has come here, and has explained that he would not continue to be the provost of Soufflenheim as he feels that there is no advantage to this and has asked me to keep the named Knobloch as a provost in Soufflenheim as he would not that the place in question is not filled by some man, so I wished to mention this honestly ; you will also see that the new named provost will be a man you can trust and who is able to keep a promise, and be silent when necessary. You may also take contact with Heinrich Schlupfer who could eventually be named if you like. And inform in any case the chancellery of your decision. So that it will be confirmed ; Heidelberg, Thursday after Christmas 1551.

REPORT CONCERNING POACHING IN THE FOREST OF SOUFFLENHEIM

Wilhelm Schelling as forester after his oath tells about facts occurred Friday 14th May, and reported to the town scribe, that on this day he had been in the forest of Soufflenheim on horseback, with companions, as they had heard that a man from Gries had been seen in the forest, so that he was accompanied by Hans Stäb and Simon in the forest ; on Saturday they went to a place named Remelshaus in the forest, where the named Meybeck told them he would be surprised that they would be there unguilty and so spoke the man from Gries ; and Hans Meybeck started to fight with them ; so that he Wilhelm has also started fighting and the other foresters ran after them. Hans Vetsch carried two deer's that had without doubt been shot in the forest of Soufflenheim. [End of First Page].

So we here mention what we know about this event of poaching in the forest of Soufflenheim and our behavior on this occasion.

[Report of the Receiver of the Prefecture concerning problem of poaching in the forest of Soufflenheim. Regarding this letter and its author, the translator says "This is not clear. I think the scribe wrote the letter in place of Willhelm Schelling. I made a complete transcription of the first page, and read the rest of the document without a complete transcription and translation. I have added the signature at the end when present. There is an extreme difficulty in reading and analyzing these letters, some of them very discouraging, and I am not a chartist by training”. This document was checked a second time and it is the opinion of the researcher that Wilhelm Schelling, Hans Stab, Simon, Hans Meybeck, and Hans Vetsch lived in Soufflenheim.]

LETTER BY JOHANNES MEYBECK, FORESTER

07 September 1605 C88 (84) Three pages. First page completely translated. Pages 2-3 an extract.

Letter to the count : written by Bernhard Katelshoffer, former forest-guard in Soufflenheim, concerning my payment as such in this function ; as the receiver Johann Georg Mahler has refused to pay me ten gulden on the proposed wages but declared that my function was that of a wood forester and paid at this rate by the receiver ; and this has been told this way to my wife by Dr. Misterspach, receiver of rents. I swear that I have been taken by oath as a forest guard and game guard, and not as a wood surveyor, so that I ask the proper payment and clothing of your Highness, and be maintained in the position in which I have been installed and not retrograded to the position the receiver pretends I am now standing.

[J. Meybeck, forester in Soufflenheim. letter to the Prefecture of Haguenau : Complains against the receiver of the Prefecture for nonpayment of wages. Written in German. According to the translator "I just translated page one, and read the others. There was no major information nor names of residents of Soufflenheim in any of the other two pages." The index in the archives describes the letter as: "Letter by Johannes Meybeck, forester". When I read the record, I see that it has been signed by Johannes Meybeck indeed, but starts with joined testimony in form of letter with words : Bernhard Katelshoffer "former forester" so prior to Johannes Meybeck to confirm what the position of forester in Soufflenheim really is, and that Johannes Meybeck is now denied, reason of his protest. As I did not translate the full 3 pages, I suppose it is made clearer in pages 2 and 3”. This document was checked a second time to determine if J. Meybeck, was a forester in the forest of Soufflenheim or the village of Soufflenheim. After additional research, it was the opinion of the researcher that Johannes Meybeck was definitely a forester of the forest of Soufflenheim.]

LETTER BY PROVOST OF SOUFFLENHEIM CONCERNING HANS MEYBECK, FORESTER

19 June 1606 C88 (85) Four pages. First page completely translated. Pages 2-4 an extract.

To the Council and House of Austria. Sent by the provost of Soufflenheim. Concerning several persons of Haguenau who have mentioned that Hans Meyenbeck, our named game surveyor complains about his not having received the proper payment, and that he asks to be treated as on time of his engagement by the authority, and receive so the same payment, and so the provost of Soufflenheim has received a word that the named Hans Meyenbeck should receive this as normally.

[Copy of a letter addressed by the provost of Soufflenheim to the Prefecture concerning Jean Meybeck, forester. German. Regarding this letter and who wrote it, according to the translator "The letter is sent by the provost, not named, of Soufflenheim, who does not sign, giving only his title of provost. I translated the entire first page but not the three others." The document was checked a second time to determine if Jean Meybeck is a resident of Soufflenheim: According to Peres “As it is the responsibility of the Provost (mayor) of Soufflenheim to pay Meybeck, and as the Provost is writing a letter on behalf of Meybeck, it would appear that Meybeck lived in Soufflenheim. After additional research, it was the opinion of the researcher that Johannes Meybeck was definitely a resident of Soufflenheim.]

By me Melcher von Sesselsheim, provost in Haguenau, is brought to public knowledge that Diebold von Bruckheim in Soufflenheim and Catharina his wife have sold for themselves and their heirs to Bader Hansen in Soufflenheim, for himself and his heirs, for 1 pound pfenning value of Strasbourg, a yearly right paid on St. Mathew’s day to the seller and heirs in Haguenau, a house in which they can now enter without any hindrance.

It consists of a house, with yard, stable, garden and dependencies, with all rights and obligations attached in Soufflenheim near Premfter Wendling, the other side the common property, behind Jacob Beck, in front the common property, gives 20 pfennings to the church of Soufflenheim and the half schilling pfenning to the honorable Mathis Gebet there, former Marschalk of Haguenau, as rent on plot.

The sale took place for a sum of 20 pounds pfenning in Strasbourg currency, that has been received in hands, and this has been accounted totally by the sellers in front of me, expressing so and for all their heirs, with acceptation of the named yearly payment.

The house is not submitted to any mortgage. For better security were present to this Claus Schartenberger and Augustin Niclaus’ son, all of , who also declare that this is accepted by all of them. In case the yearly payment would not take place, they could ask this property back. The justice court of Haguenau would be relevant for this case.

In case the receivers would have placed someone else in their name or their heirs, they should first give information of this and in a way that no damage should be caused. No one could speak against this or write against this, and as all have accepted this legally in form of acceptation, this sale has been considered as passed in the perfect form for 6 pounds 13 schilling pfenning currency of Strasbourg, the money and rent will be received by the seller. Passed by the named provost, with apposed seal on Thursday 23rd February in year 1559.

UNDERSTANDING THE INDEX

The records in the index are grouped together in series - from A to H. These series are the same in all archives in prior to 1792. Each series begins with bundle number one and continues upward.

The first entry in the index is: C 28(12) (1496): C is the series number, 28 is a bundle of records, (12) is the document inside the bundle that mentions or is concerned with Soufflenheim, (1496) is the year the document was written. The second entry in the index is: C 50(5-8) (1539-1606): C is the series number, 50 is a bundle of records, (5-8) are four documents within the bundle that mention or are concerned with Soufflenheim, (1539-1606) is the range of years inside the bundle

It is difficult to know the precise contents of documents in the index without checking the document itself. Some documents related to fiefs and renewals of fiefs. Soufflenheim documents are categorized as:

• Dime: A tax due to the church. • Ecoutete: Mayor of the village. • Fabrique: Administration of the church's property by an elected group of citizens of the place - the "council of fabrique". The name is the same in France today ("conseil de fabrique"). • Forêt: Forests or woods. Concerns boundaries and uses, such as conflicts concerning grazing inside the woods, rights to cut wood, hunting, fines, etc.

Records from the Table générale list all documents relating to Soufflenheim. All records were viewed. Some mention Soufflenheim but do not give names. Others provide short lists. There are no complete lists of citizens. Some documents are fiefs or renewals of fiefs, which often list people who cultivated land on the boundaries of the fief, similar to land records in the inventories. Fiefs are not always related to the ownership of land. They can also be a right to income from a function, such as provost of Soufflenheim (Schultheiss), or an amount of money due on a tax, such as the “dîme” church tax. All fief documents were viewed and no land records listing adjacent land owners were found.

DOCUMENTS SEARCHED AND TRANSLATED

All records relating to Soufflenheim in the index to the Ancient Archives are listed below, including year, description, and length. Documents described as a "piece" can be more than one page. Documents described as two or more pages could also be two or more pieces. One page may be a letter and the second page a reply to the letter. Document length is typically what is listed in the official archives, occasionally what was counted when searching for names.

• Documents completely translated: C50/5-C50/8, C86/34, C86/76, C86/81, G5772 (all). • Documents summarized, and many searched for names from Soufflenheim: C28/12, C54/4, C86/36 (all), C88/77, C88/80, C88/84- C88/88, C186 (all), C274/111 (all), C313/93 sexies 9, C313/94 sexies 9 (all), C471 (all), C587, C615 (all), C628 (all) C656 (all), C726 (all), G6614 (all) • Documents searched for names from Soufflenheim but not summarized or translated: C274/111, 1471-1759, 30 Apr 1756 to C274, 117, 1471-1759 (end) • Bundles with an ASTERISK* have been completely searched for names from Soufflenheim: C28 (all), C50 (all), C54 (all), C86 (all), C88 (all), C274 (all), C313 (all), and G5772 (all), G6634,
