Maurer
Johann Maurer's son, Johannes Maurer,
appears to be the father of my great-grandfather
Johann Franz Maurer. Johannes was born 25 July
1837 in Neukirchen. Neukirchen where
Johannes Maurer, father of Johann Franz Maurer,
was born is a small town in the Grevenbroich
district of Nordrhein-Westfalen.
He would have been about 26 years old when my
great-grandfather Johann Franz Maurer was born.
But Great Grandfather Johann Franz did not leave
or give much information to his children about his
time in Germany, other than he had two brothers
and one sister. Or if he did give this information it
was not recorded by any of them from what I have
found so far. Family lore is that one brother
moved to Montreal at the time he came to St.
Louis, and his sister and the other brother
remained in Germany.

Rhine Province (Ger. Rheinprovinz, former province of Prussia, W Germany). The province was also known as Rhenish Prussia and as the Rhineland . The
northern section of the former province (which contained part of the industrial Ruhr district) is now included in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, and the
southern section (with its famous wine districts along the Moselle and Rhine rivers) is in Rhineland-Palatinate. The province bordered in the W on the
Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg and in the S on France. Koblenz (the former capital), Cologne, Düsseldorf, Aachen, and Wuppertal were among the
chief cities. The region is traversed by the Rhine, Moselle, and Wupper rivers and by the lower course of the Ruhr. The Rhenish Slate Mts. are in the south. After
the breakup (11th cent.) of the duchy of Lower Lorraine (see Lotharingia ), of which the area was a part, the region split into more than 100 ecclesiastic and
secular fiefs; Aachen and Cologne became free imperial cities. Chief among the territorial princes were the archbishops of Cologne and Trier and the dukes of
Cleves, who also absorbed the duchies of Jülich and Berg. In 1614, Jülich and Berg passed to the dukes palatine of Neuburg (later electors palatine),
while Cleves went to the electors of Brandenburg (later kings of Prussia). As a result of the French Revolutionary Wars, France annexed the entire territory W of
the Rhine, while the territory E of the Rhine was constituted (1803) the duchy (after 1806, grand duchy) of Berg. The award of the entire territory to Prussia at the
Congress of Vienna (1814-15) represented the greatest Prussian territorial gain since the partitions of Poland (see Poland, partitions of ). At first divided into
two provinces, the entire region was constituted the Rhine Province in 1824. One of the strongholds of Roman Catholicism in Germany, the province played an
important part in the Kulturkampf later in the century.
Economic Geography The Prussian Kingdom in her borders of 1815 was composed of economically diverse regions. The provinces of Brandenburg,
Pomerania, West and East Prussia and Posen were predominantly agrarian, and here the estates of noble families dominated. Silesia, Prussian Saxony,
Westphalia and the Rhine Province had strong agricultural sectors (but especially in the Rhineland and Westphalia, large estates owned by noblemen were
much less significant). Here, other industries such as textile industry (eastern Westphalia; Lower Silesia; Barmen-Elberfeld in the Rhine Province), coal mining
(Saar / Rhine Province, Ruhr valley / Westphalia, Upper Silesia), a steel and metal industry (Rhine Province, Westphalia) added to the economic picture. The
ongoing Industrial Revolution affected the western provinces earlier and stronger than those of the east.

Rheinprovinz
The Rhine Province (Rheinprovinz in German) was a province
of the Kingdom of Prussia and the Free State of Prussia from
1822 to 1946. It was created from the provinces of the Lower
Rhine and Jülich-Cleves-Berg. Its capital was Koblenz and in
1939 it had 8.0 million
inhabitants.
In 1920, the Saar was separated from the Rhine Province and
administered by the League of Nations until a plebiscite in
1935, when the region was returned to Germany. At the same
time, in 1920, the districts of Eupen and Malmedy were
transferred to Belgium (see German-Speaking Community of
Belgium). In 1946, the Rhine Province was divided up
between the newly-founded states of North Rhine-Westphalia
and Rhineland-Palatinate.
