My German Baumbach friends & relatives in Germany have a web page at: www.von-baumbach.de (2023 it is a Mediation business now)
They were very nice to me during my short visit to Germany. Maybe one day they can come here to the USA., and I can return the same hospitality they gave me. I hope to one day go back to their beautiful country and see them again!
Website in Ransbach-Baumbach Germany https://www.ransbach-baumbach.de "not in English" This is one of two towns in Germany with the Baumbach name in it. The other town is Alheim-Baumbach and can be viewed at https://www.alheim.de looks like the name of the town was changed from Alheim-Baumbach to just Alheim https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alheim the old URL was http://www.alheim-baumbach.de
Gerhard Baumbach in Germany who's father came from Ebertshausen in Thueringen which is not very far (approx. 150 km) from the castle in Nentershausen. His Grandfather had a small factory for guns and he was producing pistols for the police in London. Gerhard was kind enough to send me this catalog of guns that Ferdinand Baumbach used to make.

Here are pictures and information of the two towns with the name Baumbach in them and the names and information about the German Von Baumbach family that are in charge of the Baumbach Castle, they also own forest's and two other towns in Germany.
The two towns in Germany with the name Baumbach in them are map of Alheim-Baumbach a small farming town that is nearest to Nentershausen, the German Von Baumbachs and the Baumbach/Tannenberg castle. (about thirty minutes drive) Then there is Ransbach-Baumbach https://www.ransbach-baumbach.de (about a two hour drive away) that is a larger town that about ten years ago (from 1996) was two independent towns, one named Ransbach and the other just Baumbach. They merged to make one big town with Motels and Shopping Malls and is famous for making Pottery. Neither of the two towns have any Baumbachs living there are buried in any of the cemeteries (that I could find.) No one in the two towns could tell me why they have named them after Baumbachs other then many years ago Baumbachs started the towns and then moved on across Germany and other places like the USA.
The Baumbach castle is called the Tannenberg Castle and is located in Nentershausen Germany. It is being remodeled, the German Von Baumbach's are trying to raise money and are collecting many old antiques that have belonged to the Baumbachs over the centuries in hopes to restore it and turn it into a Baumbach museum and pub to sell beer. Please see the newer Baumbach Castle website for updated information, the above is a little out dated (2001)

Famous Baumbach Painting
Sent: Saturday, April 26, 2014 4:36 PM Subject: Famous Baumbach Painting
Hello, While doing some research I came across your website - The Painting you show ( Famous Baumbach ) is Ernst Von Baumbach (1791-1860) Generalleutnant & Governor of Stuttgart. I wanted to ask where this portrait painting is located ? I have found that Christian Pfann did a lithograph of this portrait in 1854. I am trying to establish the date & artist of the painting - Although I am not a Baumbach , I find all History fascinating & your Family does have a lot of interesting history. Any information or contacts regarding the portrait you can provide will be appreciated. All the Best, Jamie L. Stevens

Hi William, one of our Baumbach ancestors took part in the war of napoleon against Russia in 1812 and wrote down his experiences. It is terrible but important.My father should have read it bevor he went to Russia.
Did I send you the history of the baumbach who emigrated to Wisconsin in about 1850 ?
Sincerely, Büdi
