JOHANN PHILIPP ALTGELT II, was born in Siegen on January 13, 1603 and died in Altenkirchen on December 13, 1658. As a child, he began his studies at the normal school. At the age of twelve he entered the Latin School, where his grandfather had been rector (Johann Altgelt of 1567-1569). Upon graduation six years later, Johann Philipp continued his studies in philosophy and theology in the high school (today we call it "college") of Herborn -25 kilometers south of Siegen-from April 12, 1621. With it begins the long line of Calvinist pastors (and eventually Catholic priests and nuns) in our family...
Erwin Katzwinkel wrote : "Again and again in works of genealogy we encounter the description patriarchal 'dynasties' where you aver that a family maintained a profession for many generations... but no family has as legitimate a right to this word as the clan Altgelt which in 300 years begat about 20 pastors, of which 10 were in the pulpit of the Evangelical church in Altenkirchen circle from 1603 until 1898. They also served in Altenkirchen 1637-58, 1736-75, 1753-66, 1762-71 Birnbach, Daaden 1778-1883, Flammersfeld 1815-33, 1863-65 Gebhardshain, Mehren 1697-1714, 1766-1804, 1762-1775 Schönberg, 1797 Wissen -1815 and 1860-1865."
Adds the Rev. Martin Sinemus: "The pastors of the Altgelt dynasty come from Siegen. The dynasty consisted of 19 pastors and theologians, most of whom played a part in the territories of the Rhine... For more than 360 years there arrived in each Altgelt generation a pastor whose name may be translated as 'Oldest worth!'. From John E. Campbell, correspondent, note of July 1, 2013
