We know that in September of 1808 Jobst Heinrich Krückeberg was living as an Einlieger with the Wilharms of no. 11 Evesen.

We know this because in September of 1808, Jobst Heinrich petitioned the Rentkammer for a plot of land for house construction near Bärenbusch. In the first of the case file nla:146:index.adoc documents, nla:146:doc1.adoc, dated 29 September 1808, Jobst Heinrich Krückeberg states: "Up to now I have lived as a tenant with Wilharm No. 11 in Evesen".

We know Hans Heinrich Wilharm married Anne Marie Philippine Blecke of no. 11 Evesen on 8 August 1796. We know the couple resided at no. 11 Evesen because this is were their son, also named Hans Heinrich was born. Anne Marie Philippine died after giving birth. Hans Heinrich then remarried later that same year to Sophie Ernestine Blecke. We know no. 11 Evesen is were they also resided from the birth record of their daugther Anne Marie Christine and that of their son Carl Heinrich.

Meaning of Einlieger

“Schneider und Einlieger in Nr. 14 in Bärenbusch” tells us two separate things: his trade (tailor) and his social/tenurial position (Einlieger). An Einlieger in early-19th-century rural Germany was typically a lodger or subtenant without a full farm or house place of their own—part of the unterbäuerliche (sub-peasant) strata who lived “in” an existing holding rather than as the recognized holder of it.

So “Einlieger in Nr. 14” very strongly suggests that Carl Friedrich Gottlieb Krückeberg did not own or inherit farm no. 14, but instead rented rooms or a small secondary dwelling on that property, supporting himself as a tailor while living in the household (or on the land) of whoever was the actual Colon/householder of No. 14 in Berenbusch.
