About Heinrich Ludwig Gehrig
Heinrich Ludwig Gehrig was born in 1867 in Adelsheim, Baden, and came to America in October of 1888. He originally spent some time in Chicago, but later settled in New York, where he met Christina who was fourteen years younger than he and stout as a keg. Like Heinrich, she was a Lutheran. They married in 1900.
He was the father of baseball legend Lou Gehrig. Heinrich was a sheet metal worker by trade, but frequently unemployed due to alcoholism.
