Albert lived with his daughter in New York till his death. After that Elfrieda and George Mount, my grandfather moved to Los Angeles. Elfrieda and George were Apartment managers for Hedwig Bachmann Kuenstler in an area called Bunker Hill Which still exists today. I remember as a small boy coming to visit them from New York,. My grandmother and I would take the Angels Flight every day downtown to the local Farmers market. The Angels Flight has the distinction of being the smallest railroad in History. It connected Bunker Hill with down town Los Angeles. I also remember sitting on my front porch looking at Parker Center in Los Angeles. The San Bernardino and Santa Anna Freeways were still under construction, The year was 1948.

Generation No. 3

Carl Kunstler, born April 20, 1841 in Ritteramt Ribnitz, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany; died February 24, 1902 in New York City, New York.  He was the son of  Hubert Kunstler and  Lisette Heimich.  He married (1) Henrietta Bachmann Abt. 1858 in Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Germany.  She was born 1836 in Baden-Württemberg, Deutschland, Germany.  She was the daughter of William Bachmann and Malia Wagner. 

Migrated from Bremen, Germany on the ship Elbe and arrived on 4-25-1875 in New York City at Ellis Island. Bremen, Germany is the same port that his Son and Daughter Migrated from in 1894.

Bremen was an older settlement, occupied prior to the advancement towards the Weser by troops of Charlemagne to Christianise the tribes in the region in the 8th century. Bremen was raised to the status of a diocesan town under Charlemagne in 787 AD, and around 200 years later, Emperor Otto I granted Bremen market privileges. This created the basis for the development of town trade, and the market settlement turned into a city.

Bremen’s ideal location by being near the point where the Weser flows into the North Sea and its people’s longstanding experience with ships, the river and the sea, have always been the key to the city-state’s commercial fortunes. In the 12th century, Bremen became a merchants’ town and its ships dominated the southern portions of the North Sea. This dominance ended when the Hanseatic League, originally a trade alliance of the Baltic Sea only, expanded to the North Sea.
