by Jack Kramer


House Number 13, Kunas

This house belonged to the Hofbauer Family. Maria Hofbauer, first wife of Anton Kramer, lived here with her parents Jacob Hofbauer and Maria Leitgeb, before her marriage to Anton in 1864.


House Number 36, Kunas

Anton Kramer is recorded having also lived here. This was his and Maria Hofbauer's home after they married. He moved from House Number 17 and she moved from House Number 13, Here they had their first four children and a fifth child called Johann Kramer was born in 1876 and died 11 Apr or 1876. It is possible that Maria Kramer died during of shortly after his childbirth. There is an archival record of a Marie Kramer associated with this house. She is listed, as being born 12 Feb 1834, died 1 May 1876. Although the birth dates differ this may refer to Maria Hofbauer Kramer.
