'''Henriette Hedwig (Yette) Austen, née Eckart,''' ''(DaM VIII 12), (*May 13, 1902, in Wailuku, Maui, Hawaii, USA, † March 2, 1999, in Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii, USA), married Edmund John Austen on June 19, 1925, in Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii, USA''

[[Datei:FA-F421 1 Henriette Eckart.jpg|350px|thumb|right|Henriette "Yette" Eckart, around 1916.]]Henriette Eckart was born on May 13, 1902, in Wailuku, Maui, Hawaii as the twelfth child of [[Maximilian Eckart (Da VII 12)/en|Maximilian Eckart]] and [[Maria Louisa Campbell (Da VII 12)/en|Maria Louisa Campbell]]. Her mother Maria Louisa died in 1908, when Yette was only six years old. She was raised by her father and elder siblings, until, after finishing eighth grade, she was sent to Kamehameha boarding school in Honolulu in 1917. She graduated from this boarding school in 1919 and started work as a teacher at Territorial Normal School Honolulu shortly thereafter. Her granddaughter [[Barbara Austen (DaM X 176)/en|Barbara Austen]] later recalled that Yette’s profession became her vocation. On June 19, 1925, Yette married Edmund John Austen, who was originally from Canada, in Honolulu. Between 1926 and 1930, Yette Austen had four children: [[Roselani Austen (Dam IX 62)/en|Roselani]] in 1926, [[Wilby George (DaM IX 63)/en|Wilby George]] in 1927, [[Edmund Austen (DaM IX 64)/en|Edmund]] in 1928 and [[Kanani Austen (DaM IX 65)/en|Kanani]] in 1930.

In the postwar period and the 1950s, Auntie Yette was the driving force when it came to maintaining contact between the family lines in Europe and the [[Familie Eckart in Hawaii/en|United States]]. From time to time, she provided the Eckarts who were living in [[Die_Familie_Eckart_in_Poing/en|Poing]], Germany, with groceries such as chocolate and cocoa – a big luxury in the postwar period in Germany. Between 1955 and 1957, she and two of her 20 grandchildren spent two years in [[Werner Eckart (Da IX 33)/en|Werner Eckart]]’s family home in Germany. During that time, she worked as an exchange teacher in Munich. Yette wanted to see as many of her German relatives as possible which is why Werner organized the first reunion of the Eckart family. She was very interested in genealogical research. Thanks to the cooperation and an active exchange of letters with [[Heidi Killinger (Da X 55)/en|Heidi Killinger]], they managed to complete the family tree of the American and Hawaiian Eckarts. Yette’s 80th birthday was a fitting occasion for the first family reunion for which the German relatives traveled to Hawaii. Yette Austen died on March 2, 1999, in Honolulu.

[[Datei:Da VII 1 F00075 Henriette Eckart 1855ca.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Henriette at the age of around 30 years.]]
''From her earliest youth, "Aunt Jette" dedicated her life to caring for others. In the same way that she, the eldest child, lovingly cared for her eleven younger siblings and selflessly helped her beloved mother until her death, her later life was also entirely devoted to the loving care of her extended family. Wherever a reliable person was needed in the family, "Aunt Jette" was called. Nobody was so selfless, kind-hearted and self-sacrificing when it came to caring for the sick, the children and the women in childbed.''

''Following the death of her mother, she came to Uncle Philipp Wich, her mother’s brother who lived in Nieder-Altenburg, as the family’s help, support and kind companion and confidante. Her absolute reliability and selfless devotion to whatever was entrusted to her led my father, for several years during the berry season, to send her to densely wooded regions to buy berries. Most of the time, several children were sent along with her, and these summer holidays in Wanstein, Zwiesel, Holzkirchen are among our most beautiful childhood memories. While she herself was a paradigm of touching unpretentiousness and modesty combined with an exemplary sense of duty, she also knew how to keep a tight rein on us children and teach us to be modest. Her spreading butter on bread became legendary in the family. She, whose hands were never idle, who – despite her always strenuous activities – gave the most beautiful handiworks, especially elaborate embroideries, to all her loved ones, also ensured that the children placed in her care kept their hands busy. She demonstrated benevolent patience when teaching numerous nieces how to knit, sew and embroider. All the while, she was good at telling stories, fairytales as well as stories from her childhood. It was always a great pleasure for us when Aunt Jette came from Altenburg to visit, with her resilient self-made travel bag, bearing the inscription "Bon voyage" stitched in beads and which we children nearly snatched out of her hand, because we knew that it contained something for every one of us. It was the greatest pleasure for the good aunt, who was so infinitely unassuming when it came to herself, to give presents to other people as far as her modest means allowed. Nobody was forgotten, even if it was only a fried dough pastry typical for Kirchweih celebrations or a small purse knitted from wool.''

[[Datei:Da VII 1 F02836 Jette Eckart 1892ca.jpg|300px|thumb|right|"Aunt Jette" around 1892.]]
''After Uncle Philipp, for whom she continued to keep house following his wife’s death, had also died, she relocated from Altenburg to Nuremberg, to his daughter, her beloved goddaughter Henriette Reuter, who ran a tea and coffee store there after her husband’s death. There, she managed the household and took care of the young children. The store did not thrive and was relinquished after having existed for only a short time. Jette Reuter, who had accommodated some of her children in schools and the others in apprenticeships, first came to Niederaltenburg, where she ran a guest house, then to Uncle Fritz in Munich where she took care of his household. Aunt Jette came to us and stayed until her death. During these years, we children, while growing up, came to really appreciate and love her. Thanks to her unfailing fine tact, her thorough noble-mindedness, her rare intellect, and her kindness, she made friends everywhere. That is why her lounge, with the cozy Biedermeier furniture inherited from her mother, was often teeming with visitors. As confidante of so many family members, she has witnessed numerous human fates, has walked the simplest as well as the most tortuous ways with them in caring sympathy, so that nothing human was alien to her. She, who remained unmarried, was full of understanding and offered advice and comfort for every sorrow. Her rather unattractive face, which was particularly disfigured by a mustache, won general sympathy owing to her expression of great intelligence and kindness. She was rather quiet – being of the Eckart nature, she did not like to talk a lot – but always found the right way of providing comfort, and those who opened their heavy hearts to her were calmer when they left. Those whose heads she stroked with her dear, beautiful hands in an almost timid way – for, being of the rather severe maiden type, she also did not like to openly show affection – were aware of so much faithful and compassionate love that they felt they were in the right place. In retrospect, I now admire the understanding that she, already well advanced in years, showed towards the women’s movement, which was in a very early stage at that time; a movement, which faced stronger resistance among considerably younger people and the development of which she, in her seventies, desired with the utmost ardor.''

''The death of her beloved brother, my father, deeply unsettled her. I can still see how she sat at his bed in his hour of death, unable to shed a single tear, how she took his hands time and again, that had gone cold, and how she then talked about him in the gray hour of the dawning November morning, told stories from his earliest childhood that we did not know yet and that probably only crossed her mind again after many years in the face of his death. Beside him, she had to bemoan the death of two beloved sisters, Aunt Jakobine Schneider, who died on January 11, 1900, and Aunt Henriette Blaufuss, who died on January 25, 1901. Her faith in God, without any trace of bigotry, and her submissiveness to God’s will made her strong enough to bear these losses, before she herself closed her faithful eyes forever on January 15, 1902, deeply mourned by all who were close to her.''

''She was a strong personality, and, at the same time, a model of self-sacrificing devotion whenever demanded by the interests of her family, that she loved more than anything. When I released her dead hands from mine, I had to think of the line that she wrote in my friendship book and that proved true when it came to her:''

''Once, when you were born out of love, 
''You cried, while your loved ones were glad. 
''Live in a way that, when your time comes, 
''You are glad, while your loved ones weep.''

''Written in memory of Aunt Jette by Hedwig Helms, née Eckart''

Revolution in Kiel/en

<languages/>

Otto Eckart was personally involved in one of the most important historic events in 20th century Germany. World War I had virtually come to an end in November 1918. The High Command had ordered to cease all combat operations with immediate effect. Nevertheless, the command of the Imperial German Navy planned to attack the superior British Navy so as to sabotage the newly established constitutional monarchy in Germany. The certain death of the 80,000 German sailors involved in this attack was willingly accepted. This resulted in the crews on several ships of the Imperial German Navy having refused to obey orders. Several hundred sailors were arrested and sent back to their home port Kiel. This action provoked unrest and riots, first in Kiel and soon all over Germany. November 3, 1918, is now considered to mark the beginning of the November Revolution in the German Empire. Otto Eckart gives the following account of this day in Kiel:

''"On November 3, 1918, mutinous sailors from SMS (Seiner Majestät Schiff – His Majesty’s Ship) Markgraf were supposed to be arrested and taken to Fort Stosch. This task had been assigned to the [[Otto Eckart beim 1. Seebataillon in Kiel/en|sea battalion]], of which only two companies were left, but the crews had already refused to obey the company commanders the previous day. As a result, they fell back upon me, even though I was actually indispensable as the commander’s adjutant. This mission seemed very tricky. During my speech, when I announced the mission and its reasons in the presence of Kiel’s commander, some people grumbled; upon my question, a sailor of the second company stepped forward and declared: ›We do not shoot at our comrades.‹ I asked the sailors who refused to obey to step out on the left and then had the satisfaction that the whole of my old company, the third, followed my order of ›load and put the safety catch on‹ and went aboard the cargo steamer with me, in order to take charge of the approximately 100 mutinous sailors of the Markgraf. … My wife was informed about my mission and fearfully watched everything through field glasses from Bellevue bridge."''<ref>Eckart Family Archive, Book of recollections from Poing, 1969.</ref>

'''Minette Adeline Maximiliane Kunigunde Sofia Johanna Eckart''''', (Da VII 4), (*June 9, 1830, in Emskirchen, Germany, †January 25, 1901, in Brunnenreuth, Germany), married Konrad Blaufuss on October 28, 1852, in Emskirchen, Germany''

== Source Text Concerning Minette Blaufuss ==

Short biography about Minette, written down by her son Georg, from the Chronicle of the Eckart Family (FA-S346); compiled by Otto Eckart in 1927, part handwritten and part typed:

[[Datei:Da VII 4 1866 ca F00123 DaIV501 Minette Blaufuss geb Eckart 1830.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Minette, around 1866.]]''My mother was born on June 9, 1830, attended elementary school at the market town Emskirchen as did all her numerous siblings and was confirmed by the highly esteemed priest and later "Senior" (head priest) Cloetez. After leaving school, she at first stayed at home to help her mother with the inn. It was not long before she got acquainted with the school administrator Konrad Blaufuss, with whom she became betrothed as a 17-year-old girl and married five years later.

''The Revolution of 1848 had unearthed the moral defects in the German people, so that Germany’s church circles, prompted by Heinrich Wichern from Hamburg, Candidate of Theology, and father of the Inner Mission, now tried to take action in order to help and heal. Based on Wichern’s model, the greatest care was taken with the neglected youth. In Riedenhausen in Lower Franconia, several clergymen and men interested in the church banded together to form an association on June 5, 1848, and decided to establish a salvation institution for neglected children. The Trautberg estate near Kastell, a farmstead owned by the Count of Kastell, was purchased and converted into an institution. The president of the association, the priest Walter von Rüdenhausen, managed to entice my father, who worked as a teacher in Schwabach at the time, to the post as housefather. After my father had left his good post as a teacher, he joined Wichern in his large reformatory institution in Hamburg, the "Rauhes Haus", for six months in order to prepare himself for the work. He took up his post as housefather and teacher on September 25, 1850. Two years later, he took his betrothed, who had prepared herself for the profession as housemother in the reformatory in Herrnprechtingen [he probably means Herbrechtingen], Württemberg, as his wife.

''My father was everything in this institution: housefather, teacher, and manager of the estate. My mother was responsible for all the housekeeping and the girls’ education. They were assisted by several male and female helpers. It was a life full of toil and work, trouble and annoyance with these mostly quite depraved boys and girls. In addition, there was the constant worry about the means for maintaining the institution; since it was financed by voluntary contributions, one had to constantly knock on doors and beg for money. Most of the time, my father was also responsible for this task. As my parents were in the best years of their lives, they overcame these difficulties with ease.

''It was at the Trautberg that most children were born, namely: Johanna, Elise, Babette, Maria, Georg and Hans.

''As my father also committed himself to the matter of the socially lost as a writer, he soon became well-known far and wide, and his judgement was frequently sought when founding new charitable institutions of that kind. The association Johannisverein, which still performs its beneficent activity in the care of released prisoners to this day, established two institutions for such unfortunate people near Trautberg: one at the estate Mutschenhof for sons of better families, the other in Atzhausen, near Kleinlangheim, for members of the working class.

''Differences of opinion with the administration of the Trautberg estate led my father to resign from his post as housefather and to take over the management of the Mutschenhof institution, of which he was already the inspector. Shortly after the war of 1866 – that is how far back my personal memories extend – we moved from Trautberg to Mutschenhof, approximately three kilometers away. This estate’s next neighbor was the mill Mutschenmühle, driven by the brook Grindleinsbach, which springs out of the ground near Kastell. The fact that the miller had to drive over the Mutschenhof grounds whenever he wanted to get to the road caused various disputes. Thus, there were new difficulties that had to be overcome by exercising patience and [illegible]: (1) the cramped housing conditions, (2) the unruliness of the pupils, (3) the hostilities of the miller, which were eventually settled in a trial. Again, the main burden, the very difficult housekeeping, was shouldered entirely by my mother. Father took care of the very extensive correspondence. He spent almost the whole day in his writing room. We children attended school in Rüdenhausen but did not learn much. Reading, writing, arithmetic, and catechism were the only subjects. In view of a better education for their children – with two more girls born at the Mutschenhof, Luise, who already died after a year, and Christine – my parents decided to move close to a town. However, this could not be carried out immediately. At the Mutschenhof, we were visited every year by dear relatives. Grandmother regularly came from Emskirchen. Uncle Johannes and beautiful Aunt Susanne called in, Uncle Christian from Honolulu spent some days with us, also Uncle Max before leaving for the Hawaiian Islands.

[[Datei:Da VII 4 1885 ca FA82 021 Minette Blaufuss .jpg|300px|thumb|right|Minette in the garden, around 1885.]]
''This is also where we witnessed the great events of 1870 in which my father took the liveliest interest. I still recall how my father once came home from Kleinlangheim, all hoarse. When my shocked mother asked him what the matter was with him, he said very quietly: "Napoleon is captured." And thus, he had shouted himself hoarse in his enthusiasm about the joyful event. A master of speeches, he had to make a speech at the peace celebration in Kleinlangheim. I still remember the first sentence: "I take my hat off to the German warrior!" It was a time of great enthusiasm and high hopes. I often heard my father state: "Our children will now have a better life." When remembering this great period, one’s heart aches, and, lamenting, one has to proclaim with the poet: "German people, you most glorious of all, your oak trees stand, you have fallen!"

''The wish to move close to a town came true shortly after the peace agreement. He bought an estate in Neuried, near Munich, called "Neunerhof" and planned to establish a reformatory there. It was a farmstead with 40 Tagwerk of fields (an old German surface measure; one Tagwerk corresponds to approximately 3,408 m2), a residential house, and a farm building, two horses, eight cows, poultry, hares, and all inventory in good condition. We arrived in Munich at the beginning of October, with the cheaper Oktoberfest train, and were met at the station by Uncle Schneider who took us to his apartment in the street Rumfordstrasse, where we all spent the night with our precautionary Aunt Jakobine. The next day, we first visited Uncle Fritz and Uncle Johannes, who lived close to each other at the time, and then went to Neuried. We spent a short happy time there. Everything was new to us, and the most pleasant thing was that the Catholic inhabitants of Neuried did not show the slightest fanaticism towards the Protestant newcomers, but even obliged us in a very neighborly way. – My father followed a few weeks later, already ill. On the train, which was not heated at the time, he had caught a cold which developed into double pneumonia of which he died on December 4, 1871. He was buried by the Munich priest Wilhelm Rodde, who proved to be a good friend of the family once again.

''Following father’s death, the real struggle for existence started for my mother, who was 42 years old at the time. Her situation was in no way enviable: an indebted estate, no widow’s pension, no money in cash, seven untrained children, the eighth was on the way, totally unknown neighbors. It was her unshakeable trust in God that sustained her in these times of serious distress. For her, it was certain that God can and must and will help; and he helped through the help of good people. Friends of father’s came and her capable siblings, Uncle Fritz and Uncle Johannes, supported her with words and helpful deeds. The Eckarts’ strong sense of family manifested itself in the most beautiful way in this situation. First of all, it was necessary to ensure the children’s education. Johanna, the eldest, could continue to attend Fernsemer’s institute in Krumbach; Elise the women’s school for practical work training; and Babette, who had already stayed with Uncle Johannes before the move, the art school; Maria was taken in by Uncle Schneider and still went to elementary school; Hans and I were admitted to the Protestant orphanage, which had been founded by Reverend Rodde, in the upper part of the street Gartenstrasse. It would be too much to describe in detail how this excellent woman fought for the education of her children; this would make a book of its own. Suffice it to say: she accomplished a matter dear to her heart, namely providing for all her children, before closing her eyes forever.

''Johanna, who had worked as a teacher for several years, married the teacher Johann Fink, Elise, mother’s faithful support for many years, espoused Otto Schilling and Babette wed Ernst Luthardt, a civil servant for the government. Maria went to England and lived there as a nursery teacher for 22 years, almost always in the same family; Georg became a teacher in Munich; Hans a priest and later a professor of religion in Nuremberg; Max also a priest, now in Sünna (Thuringia); Tina married the post office clerk Hans Klein and now lives in Munich as a widow.

''In 1887, mother sold the estate in Neuried, then lived in Planegg for a few years, then stayed alternately with Hans in Feldkirchen and Langenau, with Elise in Karlstein, near Reichenhall, with me after the death of my wife Augusta and eventually with the youngest, my brother Max, a curate in Brunnenreuth, near Ingolstadt. This is where she was able to spend her 70th birthday. It was probably her last joyful day. All her children had come as well as her siblings Fritz and Jette and Cousin Reuter. The speech that I gave in the name of the siblings expressed the childlike gratitude to such a courageous mother. Philipp Reuter, who had to participate in a military exercise in Ingolstadt at that time, came and took several photographs of the cheerful company.

[[Datei:Da VII 4 1900 F03681 70 Geburtstag Minette Eckart Gruppenbild.jpg|400px|thumb|right|Minette surrounded by her family on her 70th birthday, June 1900.]]
''In early January 1901, my mother started to experience breathing difficulties due to fatty degeneration of the heart; she passed away gently on January 25. We took her mortal remains to Neuried where she was buried alongside her husband on the 27th. It was a rough, stormy day. All the relatives from Munich and nearly all villagers appeared in the small graveyard. The itinerant preacher Wilhelm Rudel, now dean in Würzburg, held the funeral oration and blessed her.

''A courageous, self-sacrificing, and benevolent woman had passed away. The essence of her nature was an unshakeable trust in God, which sustained her in any situation and helped her overcome all difficulties. She exerted a strong educational influence on her children, both orally and by letter. It was solely to her – not to school, nor to church – that her children owed their moral education. Her example had more effect than values. For her children, she considered no sacrifice too great, no errand too difficult, no plea too sour. Despite all the somber experiences that she had to face, her heart was not, as so often happens, filled with envy and contempt for mankind. She was always friendly and helpful towards her fellow creatures; she shared the happiness of the cheerful and wept with the distressed. A strong sense of morality sharpened her eye and made her uncover every type of hypocrisy. She often warned father of false "brothers", who approached him in the guise of piety, and had father always heeded his wife’s advice, he would have saved himself from many disappointments. She was deeply grateful to all who had helped her in the time of distress. She loved all her siblings dearly. She maintained permanent contact with her children, siblings, and friends through an extensive exchange of letters. Everyone gladly read her letters as they were simple, warm-hearted, and deep.

The association Johannisverein, which still performs its beneficent activity in the care of released prisoners to this day, established two institutions for such unfortunate people near Trautberg: one at the estate Mutschenhof for sons of better families, the other in Atzhausen, near Kleinlangheim, for members of the working class.

''Differences of opinion with the administration of the Trautberg estate led my father to resign from his post as housefather and to take over the management of the Mutschenhof institution, of which he was already the inspector. Shortly after the war of 1866 – that is how far back my personal memories extend – we moved from Trautberg to Mutschenhof, approximately three kilometers away. This estate’s next neighbor was the mill Mutschenmühle, driven by the brook Grindleinsbach, which springs out of the ground near Kastell. The fact that the miller had to drive over the Mutschenhof grounds whenever he wanted to get to the road caused various disputes. Thus, there were new difficulties that had to be overcome by exercising patience and [illegible]: (1) the cramped housing conditions, (2) the unruliness of the pupils, (3) the hostilities of the miller, which were eventually settled in a trial. Again, the main burden, the very difficult housekeeping, was shouldered entirely by my mother. Father took care of the very extensive correspondence. He spent almost the whole day in his writing room. We children attended school in Rüdenhausen but did not learn much. Reading, writing, arithmetic, and catechism were the only subjects. In view of a better education for their children – with two more girls born at the Mutschenhof, Luise, who already died after a year, and Christine – my parents decided to move close to a town. However, this could not be carried out immediately. At the Mutschenhof, we were visited every year by dear relatives. Grandmother regularly came from Emskirchen. Uncle Johannes and beautiful Aunt Susanne called in, Uncle Christian from Honolulu spent some days with us, also Uncle Max before leaving for the Hawaiian Islands.

[[Datei:Da VII 4 1885 ca FA82 021 Minette Blaufuss .jpg|300px|thumb|right|Minette in the garden, around 1885.]]
''This is also where we witnessed the great events of 1870 in which my father took the liveliest interest. I still recall how my father once came home from Kleinlangheim, all hoarse. When my shocked mother asked him what the matter was with him, he said very quietly: "Napoleon is captured." And thus, he had shouted himself hoarse in his enthusiasm about the joyful event. A master of speeches, he had to make a speech at the peace celebration in Kleinlangheim. I still remember the first sentence: "I take my hat off to the German warrior!" It was a time of great enthusiasm and high hopes. I often heard my father state: "Our children will now have a better life." When remembering this great period, one’s heart aches, and, lamenting, one has to proclaim with the poet: "German people, you most glorious of all, your oak trees stand, you have fallen!"

''The wish to move close to a town came true shortly after the peace agreement. He bought an estate in Neuried, near Munich, called "Neunerhof" and planned to establish a reformatory there. It was a farmstead with 40 Tagwerk of fields (an old German surface measure; one Tagwerk corresponds to approximately 3,408 m2), a residential house, and a farm building, two horses, eight cows, poultry, hares, and all inventory in good condition. We arrived in Munich at the beginning of October, with the cheaper Oktoberfest train, and were met at the station by Uncle Schneider who took us to his apartment in the street Rumfordstrasse, where we all spent the night with our precautionary Aunt Jakobine. The next day, we first visited Uncle Fritz and Uncle Johannes, who lived close to each other at the time, and then went to Neuried. We spent a short happy time there. Everything was new to us, and the most pleasant thing was that the Catholic inhabitants of Neuried did not show the slightest fanaticism towards the Protestant newcomers, but even obliged us in a very neighborly way. – My father followed a few weeks later, already ill. On the train, which was not heated at the time, he had caught a cold which developed into double pneumonia of which he died on December 4, 1871. He was buried by the Munich priest Wilhelm Rodde, who proved to be a good friend of the family once again.

''Following father’s death, the real struggle for existence started for my mother, who was 42 years old at the time. Her situation was in no way enviable: an indebted estate, no widow’s pension, no money in cash, seven untrained children, the eighth was on the way, totally unknown neighbors. It was her unshakeable trust in God that sustained her in these times of serious distress. For her, it was certain that God can and must and will help; and he helped through the help of good people. Friends of father’s came and her capable siblings, Uncle Fritz and Uncle Johannes, supported her with words and helpful deeds. The Eckarts’ strong sense of family manifested itself in the most beautiful way in this situation. First of all, it was necessary to ensure the children’s education. Johanna, the eldest, could continue to attend Fernsemer’s institute in Krumbach; Elise the women’s school for practical work training; and Babette, who had already stayed with Uncle Johannes before the move, the art school; Maria was taken in by Uncle Schneider and still went to elementary school; Hans and I were admitted to the Protestant orphanage, which had been founded by Reverend Rodde, in the upper part of the street Gartenstrasse. It would be too much to describe in detail how this excellent woman fought for the education of her children; this would make a book of its own. Suffice it to say: she accomplished a matter dear to her heart, namely providing for all her children, before closing her eyes forever.

''Johanna, who had worked as a teacher for several years, married the teacher Johann Fink, Elise, mother’s faithful support for many years, espoused Otto Schilling and Babette wed Ernst Luthardt, a civil servant for the government. Maria went to England and lived there as a nursery teacher for 22 years, almost always in the same family; Georg became a teacher in Munich; Hans a priest and later a professor of religion in Nuremberg; Max also a priest, now in Sünna (Thuringia); Tina married the post office clerk Hans Klein and now lives in Munich as a widow.

''In 1887, mother sold the estate in Neuried, then lived in Planegg for a few years, then stayed alternately with Hans in Feldkirchen and Langenau, with Elise in Karlstein, near Reichenhall, with me after the death of my wife Augusta and eventually with the youngest, my brother Max, a curate in Brunnenreuth, near Ingolstadt. This is where she was able to spend her 70th birthday. It was probably her last joyful day. All her children had come as well as her siblings Fritz and Jette and Cousin Reuter. The speech that I gave in the name of the siblings expressed the childlike gratitude to such a courageous mother. Philipp Reuter, who had to participate in a military exercise in Ingolstadt at that time, came and took several photographs of the cheerful company.

[[Datei:Da VII 4 1900 F03681 70 Geburtstag Minette Eckart Gruppenbild.jpg|400px|thumb|right|Minette surrounded by her family on her 70th birthday, June 1900.]]
''In early January 1901, my mother started to experience breathing difficulties due to fatty degeneration of the heart; she passed away gently on January 25. We took her mortal remains to Neuried where she was buried alongside her husband on the 27th. It was a rough, stormy day. All the relatives from Munich and nearly all villagers appeared in the small graveyard. The itinerant preacher Wilhelm Rudel, now dean in Würzburg, held the funeral oration and blessed her.

''A courageous, self-sacrificing, and benevolent woman had passed away. The essence of her nature was an unshakeable trust in God, which sustained her in any situation and helped her overcome all difficulties. She exerted a strong educational influence on her children, both orally and by letter. It was solely to her – not to school, nor to church – that her children owed their moral education. Her example had more effect than values. For her children, she considered no sacrifice too great, no errand too difficult, no plea too sour. Despite all the somber experiences that she had to face, her heart was not, as so often happens, filled with envy and contempt for mankind. She was always friendly and helpful towards her fellow creatures; she shared the happiness of the cheerful and wept with the distressed. A strong sense of morality sharpened her eye and made her uncover every type of hypocrisy. She often warned father of false "brothers", who approached him in the guise of piety, and had father always heeded his wife’s advice, he would have saved himself from many disappointments. She was deeply grateful to all who had helped her in the time of distress. She loved all her siblings dearly. She maintained permanent contact with her children, siblings, and friends through an extensive exchange of letters. Everyone gladly read her letters as they were simple, warm-hearted, and deep.

'''Henriette Hedwig (Yette) Austen, née Eckart,''' ''(DaM VIII 12), (*May 13, 1902, in Wailuku, Maui, Hawaii, USA, † March 2, 1999, in Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii, USA), married Edmund John Austen on June 19, 1925, in Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii, USA''

[[Datei:FA-F421 1 Henriette Eckart.jpg|350px|thumb|right|Henriette "Yette" Eckart, around 1916.]]Henriette Eckart was born on May 13, 1902, in Wailuku, Maui, Hawaii as the twelfth child of [[Maximilian Eckart (Da VII 12)/en|Maximilian Eckart]] and [[Maria Louisa Campbell (Da VII 12)/en|Maria Louisa Campbell]]. Her mother Maria Louisa died in 1908, when Yette was only six years old. She was raised by her father and elder siblings, until, after finishing eighth grade, she was sent to Kamehameha boarding school in Honolulu in 1917. She graduated from this boarding school in 1919 and started work as a teacher at Territorial Normal School Honolulu shortly thereafter. Her granddaughter [[Barbara Austen (DaM X 176)/en|Barbara Austen]] later recalled that Yette’s profession became her vocation. On June 19, 1925, Yette married Edmund John Austen, who was originally from Canada, in Honolulu. Between 1926 and 1930, Yette Austen had four children: [[Roselani Austen (Dam IX 62)/en|Roselani]] in 1926, [[Wilby George (DaM IX 63)/en|Wilby George]] in 1927, [[Edmund Austen (DaM IX 64)/en|Edmund]] in 1928 and [[Kanani Austen (DaM IX 65)/en|Kanani]] in 1930.

In the postwar period and the 1950s, Auntie Yette was the driving force when it came to maintaining contact between the family lines in Europe and the [[Familie Eckart in Hawaii/en|United States]]. From time to time, she provided the Eckarts who were living in [[Die_Familie_Eckart_in_Poing/en|Poing]], Germany, with groceries such as chocolate and cocoa – a big luxury in the postwar period in Germany. Between 1955 and 1957, she and two of her 20 grandchildren spent two years in [[Werner Eckart (Da IX 33)/en|Werner Eckart]]’s family home in Germany. During that time, she worked as an exchange teacher in Munich. Yette wanted to see as many of her German relatives as possible which is why Werner organized the first reunion of the Eckart family. She was very interested in genealogical research. Thanks to the cooperation and an active exchange of letters with [[Heidi Killinger (Da X 55)/en|Heidi Killinger]], they managed to complete the family tree of the American and Hawaiian Eckarts. Yette’s 80th birthday was a fitting occasion for the first family reunion for which the German relatives traveled to Hawaii. Yette Austen died on March 2, 1999, in Honolulu.

== Source Text concerning Henriette Eckart ==

Short biography about Henriette, written down by her niece Hedwig Helms, from the Chronicle of the Eckart Family (FA-S346); compiled by Otto Eckart in 1927, part handwritten and part typed.

[[Datei:Da VII 1 F00075 Henriette Eckart 1855ca.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Henriette at the age of around 30 years.]]
''From her earliest youth, "Aunt Jette" dedicated her life to caring for others. In the same way that she, the eldest child, lovingly cared for her eleven younger siblings and selflessly helped her beloved mother until her death, her later life was also entirely devoted to the loving care of her extended family. Wherever a reliable person was needed in the family, "Aunt Jette" was called. Nobody was so selfless, kind-hearted and self-sacrificing when it came to caring for the sick, the children and the women in childbed.''

''Following the death of her mother, she came to Uncle Philipp Wich, her mother’s brother who lived in Nieder-Altenburg, as the family’s help, support and kind companion and confidante. Her absolute reliability and selfless devotion to whatever was entrusted to her led my father, for several years during the berry season, to send her to densely wooded regions to buy berries. Most of the time, several children were sent along with her, and these summer holidays in Wanstein, Zwiesel, Holzkirchen are among our most beautiful childhood memories. While she herself was a paradigm of touching unpretentiousness and modesty combined with an exemplary sense of duty, she also knew how to keep a tight rein on us children and teach us to be modest. Her spreading butter on bread became legendary in the family. She, whose hands were never idle, who – despite her always strenuous activities – gave the most beautiful handiworks, especially elaborate embroideries, to all her loved ones, also ensured that the children placed in her care kept their hands busy. She demonstrated benevolent patience when teaching numerous nieces how to knit, sew and embroider. All the while, she was good at telling stories, fairytales as well as stories from her childhood. It was always a great pleasure for us when Aunt Jette came from Altenburg to visit, with her resilient self-made travel bag, bearing the inscription "Bon voyage" stitched in beads and which we children nearly snatched out of her hand, because we knew that it contained something for every one of us. It was the greatest pleasure for the good aunt, who was so infinitely unassuming when it came to herself, to give presents to other people as far as her modest means allowed. Nobody was forgotten, even if it was only a fried dough pastry typical for Kirchweih celebrations or a small purse knitted from wool.''

[[Datei:Da VII 1 F02836 Jette Eckart 1892ca.jpg|300px|thumb|right|"Aunt Jette" around 1892.]]
''After Uncle Philipp, for whom she continued to keep house following his wife’s death, had also died, she relocated from Altenburg to Nuremberg, to his daughter, her beloved goddaughter Henriette Reuter, who ran a tea and coffee store there after her husband’s death. There, she managed the household and took care of the young children. The store did not thrive and was relinquished after having existed for only a short time. Jette Reuter, who had accommodated some of her children in schools and the others in apprenticeships, first came to Niederaltenburg, where she ran a guest house, then to Uncle Fritz in Munich where she took care of his household. Aunt Jette came to us and stayed until her death. During these years, we children, while growing up, came to really appreciate and love her. Thanks to her unfailing fine tact, her thorough noble-mindedness, her rare intellect, and her kindness, she made friends everywhere. That is why her lounge, with the cozy Biedermeier furniture inherited from her mother, was often teeming with visitors. As confidante of so many family members, she has witnessed numerous human fates, has walked the simplest as well as the most tortuous ways with them in caring sympathy, so that nothing human was alien to her. She, who remained unmarried, was full of understanding and offered advice and comfort for every sorrow. Her rather unattractive face, which was particularly disfigured by a mustache, won general sympathy owing to her expression of great intelligence and kindness. She was rather quiet – being of the Eckart nature, she did not like to talk a lot – but always found the right way of providing comfort, and those who opened their heavy hearts to her were calmer when they left. Those whose heads she stroked with her dear, beautiful hands in an almost timid way – for, being of the rather severe maiden type, she also did not like to openly show affection – were aware of so much faithful and compassionate love that they felt they were in the right place. In retrospect, I now admire the understanding that she, already well advanced in years, showed towards the women’s movement, which was in a very early stage at that time; a movement, which faced stronger resistance among considerably younger people and the development of which she, in her seventies, desired with the utmost ardor.''

''The death of her beloved brother, my father, deeply unsettled her. I can still see how she sat at his bed in his hour of death, unable to shed a single tear, how she took his hands time and again, that had gone cold, and how she then talked about him in the gray hour of the dawning November morning, told stories from his earliest childhood that we did not know yet and that probably only crossed her mind again after many years in the face of his death. Beside him, she had to bemoan the death of two beloved sisters, Aunt Jakobine Schneider, who died on January 11, 1900, and Aunt Henriette Blaufuss, who died on January 25, 1901. Her faith in God, without any trace of bigotry, and her submissiveness to God’s will made her strong enough to bear these losses, before she herself closed her faithful eyes forever on January 15, 1902, deeply mourned by all who were close to her.''

''She was a strong personality, and, at the same time, a model of self-sacrificing devotion whenever demanded by the interests of her family, that she loved more than anything. When I released her dead hands from mine, I had to think of the line that she wrote in my friendship book and that proved true when it came to her:''

''Once, when you were born out of love, 
''You cried, while your loved ones were glad. 
''Live in a way that, when your time comes, 
''You are glad, while your loved ones weep.''

''Written in memory of Aunt Jette by Hedwig Helms, née Eckart''

==The Eckart Family==

[[Datei:BurgBetzenstein.png|400px|thumb|right|Picture of Betzenstein castle, home of Heinrich Eckart, the family’s earliest known ancestor.]]Researching the family history and writing down stories and facts of ancestors and relatives – it was started by the Eckart family around the mid-19th century. This mission was passed down from generation to generation, with the Munich family branch having been particularly dedicated to genealogical research. In 1937, Otto Eckart (1877 to 1942) published a chronicle with family trees and biographies for the first time.<ref>Eckart Family Archive, FA-B30 Chronicle of the Eckart family, 1937.</ref> He also established a [[Archiv der Familie Eckart/en|family archive]], which has continued to grow ever since and now comprises the family’s documents, pictures, letters, and objects spanning several centuries. Further chronicles and genealogies of the Eckart family have emerged.<ref>Eckart, Werner: "Chronik der Familie Eckart" (Chronicle of the Eckart Family), 1967; Killinger-Eckart, Heidi: "Die Genealogie der Familie Eckart" (The Genealogy of the Eckart Family), Munich 2015; Eckart, Otto and Kamp, Michael: "Die Geschichte der Familie Eckart" (The History of the Eckart Family), Munich 2015; Eckart, Otto: "Pfanni, Mein Leben" (Pfanni, My Life), Munich 2012.</ref>

All the gathered information is now available online in this wiki, supplemented by selected documents and picture material from the archive.

===Ancestors of the Eckart Family, 1460 to 1865===

[[File:JohannesEckartV.png|200px|thumb|right|Johannes Eckart (V 11) from Emskirchen.]]Eckart is an old German surname. Originally, Eckart was a first name, for example spelt Ekkehard. It later also became a surname. The name comes from the Old High German and is derived from "Ecka", meaning "sword", and "harti" meaning "hard", but also "strong". The Eckart family has their own [[Das Wappen der Familie Eckart/en|coat of arms]]. With regard to this coat of arms, one of the ancestors once said: "Those whose coat of arms is decorated with a heart shall remember their ancestors’ sincerity and loyalty and likewise strive for such virtues."

Many important documents and sources, which could have provided information about the Eckart family’s history, were destroyed during the Thirty Years’ War (1618 to 1648). However, pertinent material dating from 1648 onwards, with virtually no gaps in information, can be found in the national archives of Bavaria, the parish registers, the Germanic National Museum in Nuremberg, the family archive of the Counts of Egloffstein etc.; this material makes it possible to reconstruct the family history.

The family’s earliest verifiable ancestor is [[Heinrich Eckart (-V)/en|Heinrich Eckart]] (around 1460 to 1516) from Eckenreuth near Betzenstein, Germany.

===Ancestors of the Eckart Family, 1460 to 1865===

[[File:JohannesEckartV.png|200px|thumb|right|Johannes Eckart (V 11) from Emskirchen.]]Eckart is an old German surname. Originally, Eckart was a first name, for example spelt Ekkehard. It later also became a surname. The name comes from the Old High German and is derived from "Ecka", meaning "sword", and "harti" meaning "hard", but also "strong". The Eckart family has their own [[Das Wappen der Familie Eckart/en|coat of arms]]. With regard to this coat of arms, one of the ancestors once said: "Those whose coat of arms is decorated with a heart shall remember their ancestors’ sincerity and loyalty and likewise strive for such virtues."

Many important documents and sources, which could have provided information about the Eckart family’s history, were destroyed during the Thirty Years’ War (1618 to 1648). However, pertinent material dating from 1648 onwards, with virtually no gaps in information, can be found in the national archives of Bavaria, the parish registers, the Germanic National Museum in Nuremberg, the family archive of the Counts of Egloffstein etc.; this material makes it possible to reconstruct the family history.

The family’s earliest verifiable ancestor is [[Heinrich Eckart (-V)/en|Heinrich Eckart]] (around 1460 to 1516) from Eckenreuth near Betzenstein, Germany. He is considered to be generation –V in the Eckart’s genealogy.

[[Datei:FA-S464_Testament_des_Carl_August_E._vom_18.08.1854.jpg|400px|thumb|right|The will drawn up by Carl August, the "Napoleon of Emskirchen", in 1854.]]The [[Archiv der Familie Eckart/en|Eckart Family Archive]] contains two wills by [[Carl August Eckart (VI 18)/en|Carl August Eckart]], dating from the years 1842 and 1854. Both documents consist of several pages and were sealed with waxen seals and the [[Das Wappen der Familie Eckart/en|Eckart family’s coat of arms]]. They are thus among the earliest documents to have been passed down to us on which the coat of arms is used. The will from 1854 starts with the words:

''"Dear children. The very disturbing time leads me, as one can be called to one’s maker unexpectedly, to remind you to love and respect one another and to honor your dear mother. The Lord has blessed me and amply rewarded my diligence and effort, so that I am able to provide for you, dear children, if you use it to good effect. My sincerest thanks to God the Almighty for this. Always follow your grandfather’s motto ›With God! My happiness!‹ and start any work and any undertaking with God’s help, and his blessing will never be long in coming."''<ref>Eckart Family Archive, FA-S450, will of February 23, 1842, by Carl August Eckart and Kunigunda Eckart, née Galster, with inventory, and FA-S464, will of August 18, 1854, by Carl August Eckart.</ref>

What Carl August considered "very disturbing" and "unexpected" were probably the sudden deaths of his two brothers [[David Eckart (VI 17)/en|David Eckart]] in March 1853 and [[Georg Eckart (VI 14)/en|Georg Eckart]] in January 1854. Carl August died three years later, shortly before his 70th birthday, on November 16, 1857. His grave can still be visited today in the Emskirchen graveyard.<ref>Eckart, Otto and Kamp, Michael: "Die Geschichte der Familie Eckart.

Revolution in Kiel/en

Otto Eckart was personally involved in one of the most important historic events in 20th century Germany. World War I had virtually come to an end in November 1918. The High Command had ordered to cease all combat operations with immediate effect. Nevertheless, the command of the Imperial German Navy planned to attack the superior British Navy so as to sabotage the newly established constitutional monarchy in Germany. The certain death of the 80,000 German sailors involved in this attack was willingly accepted. This resulted in the crews on several ships of the Imperial German Navy having refused to obey orders. Several hundred sailors were arrested and sent back to their home port Kiel. This action provoked unrest and riots, first in Kiel and soon all over Germany. November 3, 1918, is now considered to mark the beginning of the November Revolution in the German Empire. Otto Eckart gives the following account of this day in Kiel:

''"On November 3, 1918, mutinous sailors from SMS (Seiner Majestät Schiff – His Majesty’s Ship) Markgraf were supposed to be arrested and taken to Fort Stosch. This task had been assigned to the [[Otto Eckart beim 1. Seebataillon in Kiel/en|sea battalion]], of which only two companies were left, but the crews had already refused to obey the company commanders the previous day. As a result, they fell back upon me, even though I was actually indispensable as the commander’s adjutant. This mission seemed very tricky. During my speech, when I announced the mission and its reasons in the presence of Kiel’s commander, some people grumbled; upon my question, a sailor of the second company stepped forward and declared: ›We do not shoot at our comrades.‹ I asked the sailors who refused to obey to step out on the left and then had the satisfaction that the whole of my old company, the third, followed my order of ›load and put the safety catch on‹ and went aboard the cargo steamer with me, in order to take charge of the approximately 100 mutinous sailors of the Markgraf. … My wife was informed about my mission and fearfully watched everything through field glasses from Bellevue bridge."''<ref>Eckart Family Archive, Book of recollections from Poing, 1969.</ref>

==The Eckart Family==

[[Datei:BurgBetzenstein.png|400px|thumb|right|Picture of Betzenstein castle, home of Heinrich Eckart, the family’s earliest known ancestor.]]Researching the family history and writing down stories and facts of ancestors and relatives – it was started by the Eckart family around the mid-19th century. This mission was passed down from generation to generation, with the Munich family branch having been particularly dedicated to genealogical research. In 1937, Otto Eckart (1877 to 1942) published a chronicle with family trees and biographies for the first time.<ref>Eckart Family Archive, FA-B30 Chronicle of the Eckart family, 1937.</ref> He also established a [[Archiv der Familie Eckart/en|family archive]], which has continued to grow ever since and now comprises the family’s documents, pictures, letters, and objects spanning several centuries. Further chronicles and genealogies of the Eckart family have emerged.<ref>Eckart, Werner: "Chronik der Familie Eckart" (Chronicle of the Eckart Family), 1967; Killinger-Eckart, Heidi: "Die Genealogie der Familie Eckart" (The Genealogy of the Eckart Family), Munich 2015; Eckart, Otto and Kamp, Michael: "Die Geschichte der Familie Eckart" (The History of the Eckart Family), Munich 2015; Eckart, Otto: "Pfanni, Mein Leben" (Pfanni, My Life), Munich 2012.</ref>

All the gathered information is now available online in this wiki, supplemented by selected documents and picture material from the archive.

===Ancestors of the Eckart family, 1460 to 1865===

[[File:JohannesEckartV.png|200px|thumb|right|Johannes Eckart (V 11) from Emskirchen.]]Eckart is an old German surname. Originally, Eckart was a first name, for example spelt Ekkehard. It later also became a surname. The name comes from the Old High German and is derived from "Ecka", meaning "sword", and "harti" meaning "hard", but also "strong". The Eckart family has their own [[Das Wappen der Familie Eckart/en|coat of arms]]. With regard to this coat of arms, one of the ancestors once said: "Those whose coat of arms is decorated with a heart shall remember their ancestors’ sincerity and loyalty and likewise strive for such virtues."

Many important documents and sources, which could have provided information about the Eckart family’s history, were destroyed during the Thirty Years’ War (1618 to 1648). However, pertinent material dating from 1648 onwards, with virtually no gaps in information, can be found in the national archives of Bavaria, the parish registers, the Germanic National Museum in Nuremberg, the family archive of the Counts of Egloffstein etc.; this material makes it possible to reconstruct the family history.

The family’s earliest verifiable ancestor is [[Heinrich Eckart (-V)/en|Heinrich Eckart]] (around 1460 to 1516) from Eckenreuth near Betzenstein, Germany. He is considered to be generation –V in the Eckart’s genealogy. He is followed by his son [[Friedrich Eckart (-IV)/en|Friedrich Eckart]] (around 1490 to 1540), whose son – also called [[Friedrich Eckart (-III)/en|Friedrich]] (around 1515 to 1561) – left Betzenstein and took residence on the nearby estate Hunger. [[Heinrich Eckart (-II)/en|Heinrich Eckart]] (around 1540 to 1569), the son of the latter, was the first Protestant member of the Eckart family. [[Wolff Eckart (-I)/en|Wolff]] (1565 to 1632) was the first member of the Eckart family who worked in the food business – he was a baker. For a long time, his son [[Conz Eckart (I)/en|Conz Eckart]] (1595 to 1634) had been the family’s earliest known forefather and is therefore considered to be generation I. His younger son [[Hans Eckart der Jüngere (II)/en|Hans Eckart the Younger]] (around 1619 to 1681), from whom the contemporary Eckart family line descends, owned an estate in Egloffstein called Prechtelhof. His son [[Georg Eckart (III)/en|Georg Eckart]] (1639 to 1713) and his grandson [[Sebastian Conrad Eckart (IV)/en|Sebastian Conrad Eckart]] (1688 to 1748) became innkeepers and ran the taverns "Zum Roten Ochsen" (The Red Ox) and "Zur Krone" (The Crown) in Langenzenn. [[Johannes Eckart (V)/en|Johannes Eckart]] (1725 to 1790) from generation V is the most well-known Eckart of the 18th century. He lived in [[Emskirchen/en|Emskirchen]] where he ran the [[Die_Posthalterei_der_Familie_Eckart/en|post house]] and [[Gastwirte und Posthalter - Der Gasthof „Goldener Hirsch“ und die Familie Eckart/en|coaching inn "Goldener Hirsch" (Golden Deer)]]. In the following generation – generation VI – the various family lines of the Eckarts split: Johannes’ daughter [[Johanna Schwarz (VI 13)/en|Johanna]] (1778 to 1837) is the progenitrix of the JS-Eckarts, while Johannes’ sons [[Philipp Eckart (VI 15)/en|Philipp]] (1781 to 1841), [[David Eckart (VI 17)/en|David]] (1785 to 1853) and [[Carl August Eckart (VI 18)/en|Carl August]] (1787 to 1857) are the progenitors of the Phi-Eckarts, Da-Eckarts and CA-Eckarts, respectively.

===The Eckart family in Munich, Germany, 1865 to today===

[[Datei:Briefkopf Johs Eckart ca 1887.png|300px|thumb|right|Letterhead of Johannes Eckart’s company, dating between 1887 and 1899. The manufacturing plants as well as the sales and administration building are clear to see.]]Two lines of the Eckart family are especially worthy of interest, the first being the line which was continued by [[Carl August Eckart (VI 18)/en|Carl August Eckart]]. This line is closely linked to the coaching inn "Goldener Hirsch" (Golden Deer) in Emskirchen and could be dubbed the "postmaster line". The second line, whose members became highly successful factory owners, descended from [[David Eckart (VI 17)/en|David Eckart]], captain of the Landwehr (land defense) and keeper of the [[Der Gasthof "Schwarzer Adler" in Emskirchen/en|inn "Schwarzer Adler" (Black Eagle)]] in Emskirchen. This line could be dubbed "line of entrepreneurs".

David Eckart and his wife [[Jeanette Eckart (VI 17)/en|Jeanette, née Wich,]] (1801 to 1874) had twelve children. Between 1850 and 1870, all descendants of the Eckart family left their hometown Emskirchen and four of them even left Germany. Babette Eckart moved to Russia as a governess, Christian and Maximilian moved to Hawaii. Benjamin joined the French Foreign Legion in 1859, having initially spent two years in Algiers and then moved on to Mexico. Johannes (1840 to 1899) and Friedrich (1827 to 1907) tried their luck in Munich.

In 1863, [[Johannes Eckart (Da VII 10)/en|Johannes Eckart]] came to Munich where he founded a [[Johs._Eckart_Konservenfabrik/en|fruit juice factory]] in 1868. He is the founding father of today’s Munich line of the Eckart family. He and his wife [[Susanne Zick (Da VII 10)/en|Susanne, née Zick,]] (1844 to 1909) had 13 children, only seven of whom survived early childhood.

In 1899, [[Johs. Eckart Konservenfabrik/en|"Johs. Eckart Konservenfabrik" (Johannes Eckart’s canning factory)]] was taken over by Johannes’ eldest son [[Friedrich Eckart (Da VIII 17)/en|Friedrich Eckart]] (1870 to 1928) – alone at the beginning, later with his brother [[Otto Eckart (Da VIII 23)/en|Otto]] (1877 to 1942). In the aftermath of World War I, they failed to put the company back on a successful track. Otto left the company in 1926 and later founded the company "Otto Eckart" which became the [[Die Firma Pfanni/en|Pfanni factory]] after the end of World War II. In accordance with family tradition, it was then always the eldest son who took over the company: first [[Werner Eckart (Da IX 33)/en|Werner Eckart]] (1909 to 1997), then [[Otto Eckart (Da X 54)/en|Otto Eckart]] (1936 to 2016) and today [[Werner Eckart (Da XI 101)/en|Werner Eckart]] (*1968).

[[Maximilian Eckart (Da VII 12)/en|Maximilian Eckart]] (1842 to 1918), Christian’s brother, eleven years his junior, came to Hawaii in 1868. He was evidently so impressed by his brother’s reports that he followed him. At first, Maximilian earned his living as jeweler in the store of his brother, Christian. He then took over the business following the death of his brother and his sister-in-law Mathilde.

Maximilian and his wife [[Maria Louisa Campbell (Da VII 12)/en|Maria Louisa, née Campbell,]] (1862 to 1908) had twelve children and thus started the Hawaiian branch of the Eckart family. Contact with the Eckart family’s Munich line was always preserved, and relations were intensified by Maximilian’s youngest daughter [[Henriette Hedwig (Yette) Austen (DaM VIII 12)/en|Yette]] from the 1950s onwards. "Aunt Yette" was seen as the driving force that held together the families that were scattered over two continents.

Since 1957, the widely spread family holds regular family reunions.

[[File:JohannesEckartV.png|200px|thumb|right|Johannes Eckart (V 11) from Emskirchen.]]Eckart is an old German surname. Originally, Eckart was a first name, for example spelt Ekkehard. It later also became a surname. The name comes from the Old High German and is derived from "Ecka", meaning "sword", and "harti" meaning "hard", but also "strong". The Eckart family has their own [[Das Wappen der Familie Eckart/en|coat of arms]]. With regard to this coat of arms, one of the ancestors once said: "Those whose coat of arms is decorated with a heart shall remember their ancestors’ sincerity and loyalty and likewise strive for such virtues."

Many important documents and sources, which could have provided information about the Eckart family’s history, were destroyed during the Thirty Years’ War (1618 to 1648). However, pertinent material dating from 1648 onwards, with virtually no gaps in information, can be found in the national archives of Bavaria, the parish registers, the Germanic National Museum in Nuremberg, the family archive of the Counts of Egloffstein etc.; this material makes it possible to reconstruct the family history.

The family’s earliest verifiable ancestor is [[Heinrich Eckart (-V)/en|Heinrich Eckart]] (around 1460 to 1516) from Eckenreuth near Betzenstein, Germany. He is considered to be generation –V in the Eckart’s genealogy. He is followed by his son [[Friedrich Eckart (-IV)/en|Friedrich Eckart]] (around 1490 to 1540), whose son – also called [[Friedrich Eckart (-III)/en|Friedrich]] (around 1515 to 1561) – left Betzenstein and took residence on the nearby estate Hunger. [[Heinrich Eckart (-II)/en|Heinrich Eckart]] (around 1540 to 1569), the son of the latter, was the first Protestant member of the Eckart family. [[Wolff Eckart (-I)/en|Wolff]] (1565 to 1632) was the first member of the Eckart family who worked in the food business – he was a baker. For a long time, his son [[Conz Eckart (I)/en|Conz Eckart]] (1595 to 1634) had been the family’s earliest known forefather and is therefore considered to be generation I. His younger son [[Hans Eckart der Jüngere (II)/en|Hans Eckart the Younger]] (around 1619 to 1681), from whom the contemporary Eckart family line descends, owned an estate in Egloffstein called Prechtelhof. His son [[Georg Eckart (III)/en|Georg Eckart]] (1639 to 1713) and his grandson [[Sebastian Conrad Eckart (IV)/en|Sebastian Conrad Eckart]] (1688 to 1748) became innkeepers and ran the taverns "Zum Roten Ochsen" (The Red Ox) and "Zur Krone" (The Crown) in Langenzenn. [[Johannes Eckart (V)/en|Johannes Eckart]] (1725 to 1790) from generation V is the most well-known Eckart of the 18th century.

He chose a completely different and far more distant destination: Honolulu in Hawaii. This is where he opened a jewelry store in 1867.

[[Maximilian Eckart (Da VII 12)/en|Maximilian Eckart]] (1842 to 1918), Christian’s brother, eleven years his junior, came to Hawaii in 1868. He was evidently so impressed by his brother’s reports that he followed him. At first, Maximilian earned his living as jeweler in the store of his brother, Christian. He then took over the business following the death of his brother and his sister-in-law Mathilde.

Maximilian and his wife [[Maria Louisa Campbell (Da VII 12)/en|Maria Louisa, née Campbell,]] (1862 to 1908) had twelve children and thus started the Hawaiian branch of the Eckart family. Contact with the Eckart family’s Munich line was always preserved, and relations were intensified by Maximilian’s youngest daughter [[Henriette Hedwig (Yette) Austen (DaM VIII 12)/en|Yette]] from the 1950s onwards. "Aunt Yette" was seen as the driving force that held together the families that were scattered over two continents.

Since 1957, the widely spread family holds regular family reunions.

[[File:JohannesEckartV.png|200px|thumb|right|Johannes Eckart (V 11) from Emskirchen.]]Eckart is an old German surname. Originally, Eckart was a first name, for example spelt Ekkehard. It later also became a surname. The name comes from the Old High German and is derived from "Ecka", meaning "sword", and "harti" meaning "hard", but also "strong". The Eckart family has their own [[Das Wappen der Familie Eckart/en|coat of arms]]. With regard to this coat of arms, one of the ancestors once said: "Those whose coat of arms is decorated with a heart shall remember their ancestors’ sincerity and loyalty and likewise strive for such virtues."

Many important documents and sources, which could have provided information about the Eckart family’s history, were destroyed during the Thirty Years’ War (1618 to 1648). However, pertinent material dating from 1648 onwards, with virtually no gaps in information, can be found in the national archives of Bavaria, the parish registers, the Germanic National Museum in Nuremberg, the family archive of the Counts of Egloffstein etc.; this material makes it possible to reconstruct the family history.

The family’s earliest verifiable ancestor is [[Heinrich Eckart (-V)/en|Heinrich Eckart]] (around 1460 to 1516) from Eckenreuth near Betzenstein, Germany. He is considered to be generation –V in the Eckart’s genealogy. He is followed by his son [[Friedrich Eckart (-IV)/en|Friedrich Eckart]] (around 1490 to 1540), whose son – also called [[Friedrich Eckart (-III)/en|Friedrich]] (around 1515 to 1561) – left Betzenstein and took residence on the nearby estate Hunger. [[Heinrich Eckart (-II)/en|Heinrich Eckart]] (around 1540 to 1569), the son of the latter, was the first Protestant member of the Eckart family. [[Wolff Eckart (-I)/en|Wolff]] (1565 to 1632) was the first member of the Eckart family who worked in the food business – he was a baker. For a long time, his son [[Conz Eckart (I)/en|Conz Eckart]] (1595 to 1634) had been the family’s earliest known forefather and is therefore considered to be generation I. His younger son [[Hans Eckart der Jüngere (II)/en|Hans Eckart the Younger]] (around 1619 to 1681), from whom the contemporary Eckart family line descends, owned an estate in Egloffstein called Prechtelhof. His son [[Georg Eckart (III)/en|Georg Eckart]] (1639 to 1713) and his grandson [[Sebastian Conrad Eckart (IV)/en|Sebastian Conrad Eckart]] (1688 to 1748) became innkeepers and ran the taverns "Roter Ochse" (Red Ox) and "Zur Krone" (The Crown) in Langenzenn. [[Johannes Eckart (V)/en|Johannes Eckart]] (1725 to 1790) from generation V is the most well-known Eckart of the 18th century. He lived in [[Emskirchen/en|Emskirchen]] where he ran the [[Die_Posthalterei_der_Familie_Eckart/en|post house]] and [[Gastwirte und Posthalter - Der Gasthof „Goldener Hirsch“ und die Familie Eckart/en|coaching inn "Goldener Hirsch" (Golden Deer)]]. In the following generation – generation VI – the various family lines of the Eckarts split: Johannes’ daughter [[Johanna Schwarz (VI 13)/en|Johanna]] (1778 to 1837) is the progenitrix of the JS-Eckarts, while Johannes’ sons [[Philipp Eckart (VI 15)/en|Philipp]] (1781 to 1841), [[David Eckart (VI 17)/en|David]] (1785 to 1853) and [[Carl August Eckart (VI 18)/en|Carl August]] (1787 to 1857) are the progenitors of the Phi-Eckarts, Da-Eckarts and CA-Eckarts, respectively.

[[Datei:JohannesEckartV.png|150px|thumb|right|Johannes Eckart]]Johannes Eckart was the most important family member of the 18th century. He left his hometown Langenzenn and migrated to the neighboring town of [[Emskirchen/en|Emskirchen]] in order to train as a brewer. Around 1749, he worked as a journeyman in the [[Gastwirte und Posthalter - Der Gasthof „Goldener Hirsch“ und die Familie Eckart/en|inn "Goldener Hirsch" (Golden Deer)]] and this is where he learned the brewing craft from Friedrich Kurr, the innkeeper and master brewer.
