Chapter 1: Roots in Westphalia – The World of Johann Friedrich Stucke

Johann Friedrich Stucke was born on February 27, 1822, in the ancient city of Minden, located in the Kingdom of Prussia’s Westphalian province. Minden sat along the Weser River, its streets cobbled with centuries of history and its people shaped by the memory of French occupation and the reforms that followed the Napoleonic Wars. The region was known for its Protestant work ethic, its skilled artisans, and its staunch loyalty to the Prussian crown.
