  • Notes 
    • Lived at Diemeringen.

      The Encyclopaedia Germanica says the Lutterbacherhof stands on the former site of the monastery Bürenthal, surrounded by the site of an ancient village called Heimeldingen. At present there is one manor house there, surrounded by the buried foundations of six smaller houses that probably date from the early 1700s. The first mention of a Bürki in connection with the Lutterbacherhof is found in the church book of Herbitzeim dated Feb. 18, 1731. The entry records the death of 20-year-old Daniel Burcki, whose father Christian Burcki of Switzerland was a farmer on the Lutterbacherhof living at Oermingen. In 1742 a lease agreement was signed by Johannes Birki; the names on the lease renewal included Adam Bach, Johann Burcky, and Mennonite Jans Burcki. In 1793 the lease was signed by Hans Burcki of Diemeringen. This 1793 leaseholder from Diemeringen may have been Johannes Bürki, who was mentioned earlier as born circa 1732 and married to Freni/Vreni/Véronique Leyenberger. [1]
