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.[1] He also established a 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.[2]
All the gathered information is now available online in this wiki, supplemented by selected documents and picture material from the archive.
