Living in Ratibor at Ring 7 when he married in 1923, and listed at that address in the 1926 Ratibor address book along with Bertha Bartenstein and Max Bartenstein. In the 1914 Ratibor address book Max is listed with Louis Bartenstein at Ring 9. Max owned the property and Louis owned the business there.




Fritz's 1902 marriage certificate does not name his parents. However, the marriage was witnessed by a Max Bartenstein of Ratibor, Ring 7, aged 64 years, which makes him a good fit for the Max born in Ratibor on 03/03/1859. As Max and Fritz lived at the same address I have tentatively suggested that Max was Fritz's father. The Bertha listed in the 1826 address book may be his mother, but may equally be any other relative. His first wife, Helene, whom he married in 1823, is not listed. To confirm this, we need to obtain Fritz's birth certificate, which his marriage certificate identifies as Ratibor number 1904/498.
