Wetzlar - Sandgasse 6
Wetzlar, Sandgasse 6, called 'Der Hexer'. Above the pictures of the house of the past and present.

The family of Christian Macrander lived in this house, previously owned by father Georg Jacob Macrander (*1822-†1907). Like his father, Georg Jacob Macrander, Christian belonged to the evangelical community. He was a lay priest in this, nowadays almost not existing, church from 1922. The Catholic Apostolic Church, also called Irvingians. Their services were held in the aforementioned house 'Der Hexer'. (Georg Jacob Macrander used to be a leather tanner and also had a home/workshop at the Lahninsel.)

The house later went on to son Georg Macrander (*1893†1979) who lived and worked as a Lederhändler (merchant in leather goods). Georg was the older brother of Hans Macrander who was killed in France in 1914 during the 1st World War. Elsewhere on this page a memorial plate.
