Erich
Knechtel
1915-2001
Erich Knechtel with his
lovely wife of 57 years
Isolde (nee Walter)
This site is dedicated to Erich Knechtel, a
Steinschönauer and cousin to the keeper of the website. Erich was the patriarch of the Knechtel clan
and generously shared with many the great documents and stories about
Steinschönau that will eventually make it on to the website. Erich past on before seeing this site, so
this is dedicated to his memory and his dedication to his family’s
history. We will greatly miss the
“Patriarch of our Clan.”
