Beginnings in Sulza
As first family member a Joherr is regarded, whose widow Lena is chronicled 1495 in Bergsulza, later part of Sulza. Joherr or Jaherr translate as yes-man, Joch or Jauch stay for the synonymous however and seem to be a shift of the former. 1512 Jorge, Matthes and Nickel Jauch, being presumed to be their sons, were registered as propertied men (Besessene Männer) in Bergsulza. Görge Jauch (1606–1675) was burgomaster of Sulza. In the 17th century Sulza has been twice devastated, 1613 by a flood disaster (Thüringer Sintflut) and 1640 when it was plundered by Swedish troops. This may have been the motive for Johann Christian Jauch (1638–1718) to relocate to Güstrow.

Famous quotes containing the word beginnings:
“Let us, then, take our compass; we are something, and we are not everything. The nature of our existence hides from us the knowledge of first beginnings which are born of the nothing; and the littleness of our being conceals from us the sight of the infinite. Our intellect holds the same position in the world of thought as our body occupies in the expanse of nature.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
