George Marsteller
The History of the Marsteller family name and the town of Pfungstadt Edited & compiled by George Masteller The Marsteller name is a "Trade name". Marsteller comes from the word "Marställ" which means "Hostler" or keeper of horses in a royal stable. The original spelling of the name was Marställer however our ancestors changed the spelling to Marsteller sometime prior to the 1500's (1). The Marstaller surname has appeared only among people of Germanic descent and, in comparison with other Germanic surnames, it has been born by a relatively small number of people (2). Our Marsteller ancestor's come from the town of Pfungstadt, Germany. Pfungstadt is a town located about 30 miles south of Frankfurt in the state of Hesse, Germany. Pfungstadt was the location of the horse stables for the Princes of Hesse, Germany. A Hen Marsteller is mentioned in a Pfungstadt letter dated 1514 (3). This is the oldest documentation of a Marsteller in Pfungstadt that can be found at this time therefore Hen is considered the patriarch of the family. He was probably born around the 1460’s. Notable Marst(a)eller's in History [The oldest record of a Marsteller is one Johann Von Marstaller as listed in the records of a medieval scribe. The scribe noted that Johann took part in the First Crusade to the Holy land in the year 1096 A.D. sponsored by Pope Urban II](2). It should be noted that the use of a surname or possession of a coat of arms was relatively rare at this time in history. The fact that Johann Von Marsteller possessed a surname during this period indicates he was affiliated with the upper classes of society. The next available documentation of the Marst(a)eller name does not appear again for approximately 400 years. The Marst(a)eller's of the 1500's were very active in the reformation. They were contemporaries of the Augustinian friar, Martin Luther, who was the father of the Lutheran religion (Evangelical Lutheran Church) in what is history’s most significant schism from the Roman Catholic Church (2). It should be noted that Pfungstadt is a neighboring town to "Worms" the town where Martin Luther posted his famous treatise of 1517 that signified the birth of the Lutheran church. Among the more notable Marst(a)eller's of the 1500's are the following : Michael Marstaller d. 1533, of Nuremberg - Michael was a university graduate with a doctorate in law. In 1516 he was one of five members of the college of advocates who served the city council, who in turn ruled the free imperial city of Nuremberg. By 1521 Dr. Michael Marstaller had risen to the position of Ratskonsulenten. As a member of this council Michael was well-paid (salary of 200 Gulden per year) and was a very influential and wealthy citizen of the city. As a member of the college of advocates Michael was instrumental in establishing the Lutheran faith as the official religion of Nuremburg in 1525. Michael would have personally known Martin Luther. At some time prior to his death Michael was awarded a coat of arms.](2). Leonard Marstaller d.1603, son of Michael Marstaller of Nuremburg - Leonard was a doctor of theology and a professor at the university of Ingolstadt (located about 80 kilometers north of Munich). Among other works, he published a book in 1524 called "Centum conclusiones de vera Libertate Christiana (1524) which expounds on the subject of "true Christian Liberty", a subject which Martin Luther discussed in a popular treatise three years earlier in Saxony. Leonard is mentioned in a history of the city of Nuremburg written in the 1800's](2). Gervasius Marstaller - Gervasius was a native of the territory of Braunschweig. At the time of the reformation he was living in Württemburg. Although he was trained as a medical doctor he was also a supporter of Martin Luther. in 1549 he wrote a book of "divine arts" and astrology that was published in Paris. This book covered a topic that was a current interest of protestant reformers at the time](2). Martin Marstaller b.1561 d.1615 - Martin, son of Gervasius, was a doctor of law and an historian. He was a councilor to Duke Bogislaw XIII of Pomerania, then a Germanic territory in the northeast, which is now a part of Poland. Martin received a coat of arms](2). Johann Marstaller - Johann wrote about the revolutions and uprisings during the reformation period. He is mentioned in the Frankfurt Cronicle. Although no proof exists, he could be the Johann Marsteller of Pfungstadt as shown in the Pfungstadt Marsteller family tree](2). A Christoph Marstaller published a book in 1575, which dealt with the topic of financial support of the Evangelical Lutheran Pastor](2). Paul Marstaller - on August 1, 1543 Paul Marstaller was awarded a coat of arms at Speyer on the Lower Rhine](2). Joachim Marstaller - Joachim was a corporal in the Bodyguard of the Holy Roman Emperor and was awarded a coat of arms by the Emperor, Rudolph II, in Prague, on February 13, 1579. He was reported to have been raised to the imperial nobility on June 10, 1596. Both the son and grandson of Joachim are known to have been active in the affairs of Württemburg and in the city of Augsburg in Southwestern Germany](2). A Dr. George Marsteller served as a town councilor in Frankfurt and he also possessed a coat of arms](2). Although no proof exists connecting the above "notable" Marst(a)eller's to the Marsteller's of Pfungstadt, geographical proximity and the fact that the same Christian names were used among them suggests that there was a definite connection](2). Pfungstadt, Hesse, Germany - The town (2) Geographically, Pfungstadt is located about 30 miles south of Frankfurt, about (five miles from Darmstadt) and lies about five miles east of the Rhine river in the twenty-mile wide river valley. The Modau river flows through the town and the "Odenwald", a rugged hill region which rises to 1,965 feet is three miles east of the town. Pfungstadt has a long history. The "Chatti", one of the Frankish tribes, which moved into the area, established a town in the neighboring Darmstadt area, which was burned by the Romans in A.D. 15. They were eventually pushed out by another tribe known as the Hessi who, it is believed, established the town of Pfungstadt. In A.D. 785 the town was referred to in documents at the Monastery in Lorsch (see below) as "Phungostat". Christianity had been introduced into the area by the famous missionary to the "Barbarians" (our ancestor's), St. Boniface. The Benedictine monks established a monastery twenty-five miles to the south of Pfungstadt, which would become famous as the cloister of Lorsch. Though the town was under the jurisdiction of the Archbishop of Mainz (the territory capital for the Holy Roman Empire), the first mention of Pfungstadt as "a village with three mills" appears in the Lorsch "gift book". Later in the eighth century a chapel was built in the village, perhaps on the site of the present Evangelical Lutheran Church. In the ninth century, Charlemagne made the area his headquarters during his campaign against the Saxons. Then under Louis, the German, Pfungstadt was a part of the Duchy of Franconia. Later it was a made a part of the German state of Thuringa. In the thirteenth century the local ruler took the title of Landgrave. When the landgrave of Hesse became a prince of the Holy Roman Empire in 1292, the history of Pfungstadt properly began, and, from then through the period of the Marsteller habitation, the town's fortune followed the rise and fall of Hesse. The church in Pfungstadt was built between 1277 and 1291, the church tower of which was known to the Marsteller's is the same as it stands today. During this period the town grew and fourteen mills along the Modau River made the town a center of milling in the midst of a wealthy countryside. The Marsteller's saw the old church remodeled in 1550 and church-sponsored schools begun in 1571. They saw the city hall (Rathaus) built on barrel vaulting across the Modau in 1614-1618. With the Thirty Years War, the town was destroyed except for the Rathaus, the church and a few homes. From the start of the war in 1618 to it's completion in 1648 the population of Pfungstadt plunged from about 800 people to 150(4). It took the town 150 years to again reach a population level of 800. Reconstruction began in 1680. The modern German land or state in which Pfungstadt is located is now a part of the German state called Hesse. Since the history of Hesse began in the thirteenth century, its boundaries have changed several times as well as its designation. After the death of the Landgrave Philip in 1567, the medieval state of Hesse was divided among his four sons. The youngest son inherited the area around Pfungstadt and made the city of Darmstadt, some five miles to the northeast, the capital of the newly formed Duchy of Hesse-Darmstadt. The area was known by this designation at the time that members of the Marsteller family left Pfungstadt for America. The town today is primarily a small farming and milling community. The "old town" can be seen in the southern sector of the city. It covers an area of two by five blocks north of the Modau and an area of twice that size to the south of the river. Perhaps a hundred homes, the church and the city hall exist from prior to the 30 years war. The Rathaus looks exactly as it did when the Marstellers left Pfungstadt in the eighteenth century. The church, however, has undergone renovation. The ancestors of the American Marstellers left Pfungstadt prior to the second renovation of the church in 1750, so the interior and the top of the bell tower would no longer be familiar to them. Three of the four bells, which rang for their weddings and funerals still ring today, however. There is an ancient cemetery directly behind the church where the Marstellers were buried, but their graves can no longer be located. By the middle of the twentieth century, the old cemetery had long since been filled, the inscriptions of the tombstones had become illegible, so the stones were removed and the old stone-walled cemetery was turned into a Children's playground. The Marsteller's of Pfungstadt (2) With the conversion from the Roman Catholic Church to the Lutheran faith the town of Pfungstadt began to record significant personal events in the church such as Birth, Baptism, Marriage and death information. The written records of Pfungstadt begin in the middle of the 1500's primarily through three volumes kept by the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Pfungstadt. These books have several gaps, especially through the thirty years war, but generally cover the years 1552 through 1795. The Marsteller family was one of the oldest and most prominent families in Pfungstadt. They were craftsmen by profession, Iron-mongers (blacksmiths) and they belonged to the influential Iron mongers guild. Several members of the family also served in various civic positions such as on the town council, as Burgermeister (Mayor) and as military commander of the town militia. How long the Marsteller family lived in Pfungstadt is not known but the family appears in the Lutheran church records (the Kirchenbuch) from the very first years of record keeping. Documentation exists from 1514 through the middle of the 1800's showing the Marsteller family living in Pfungstadt. The Marsteller name disappears from the town in the 1800's as the last male remaining in Pfungstadt with the Marsteller surname died without issue. However, many relatives remain in the town descended from the Marsteller women who married townsfolk. By the early 1700's the area of Germany around Pfungstadt had seen almost 100 years of war. The state government was ineffective and taxation was very heavy. Death due to accusations of practicing Witchcraft was also very common. At the same time, in the years following William Penn's acquisition of a vast territory on the American continent in 1681, the Rhineland had been flooded with tracts, pamphlets and letters describing the glories of what is now Pennsylvania. Penn's agents and the agents of enterprising ship captains distributed the written materials and used every possible persuasive means to convince the disgruntled natives they could find their dreams in the "New World". The Trip to America Starting in 1727, and during the next twelve years, six members of the Marsteller family, four males and two females, some including their families, left Pfungstadt to seek their futures in America. The trip led initially from Pfungstadt to Rotterdam or Amsterdam. Along the way it is now known that each town collected tolls from all passengers. In addition, all passengers had to buy all their food and water for the lengthy voyage to the New World. The voyage itself was known to be a miserable experience for most passengers and deaths during the voyage were common. It was not unusual for passengers to arrive in America in debt to the ship's captain or agent with no money. In all, over 30,000 people from the west-central part of Europe (an area referred to as Palatine) became part of what is now known as the "Palatine Migration". If a passenger arrived in debt and had no waiting relative or sponsor they typically had to enter indentured servitude contracts, usually for up to four years, to whomever would pay their ship debts. It is probable that this was the situation that some, if not all of our ancestors faced on their arrival in America. All six of the Marsteller's who came to America from Pfungstadt left from Rotterdam or Amsterdam and arrived in the port of Philadelphia beginning in 1727. The American Marsteller's The first generation of Marsteller's initially settled in the southeastern counties of Philadelphia. They were instrumental in building the first Evangelical Lutheran churches in America and helped form the first Lutheran Synod in America. They were founding members of the Augustus Evangelical Lutheran Church near Trappe, PA, which is the oldest Lutheran Church in America still in operation. George Washington is known to have visited wounded troops being housed in the church during the Revolutionary war. One of the first Marsteller immigrants, Frederick Ludwig Marsteller, sponsored Heinrich Melchoir Muhlenberg, the Lutheran pastor considered the father of the Lutheran Church in America. Over the first few generations the spelling of the Marsteller name took may forms as the German immigrants struggled to adjust to the English language. Most commonly Marsteller, Mosteller and Masteller. From the four male Marsteller's are descended virtually all of the Marsteller's et al found in the United States today. One descendant, Philip Marsteller, son of Frederick Ludwig Marsteller, served as a Colonel in the American Revolutionary War and became a close Friend of George Washington. He served as a pallbearer at President Washington's funeral and he purchased a pair of matched flintlock pistols from Washington's estate. Those pistols remained in the family for several generations until their eventual sale. These pistols are now on display in the West Point museum in New York. One of Philip's sons helped lay the cornerstone of the U.S. Capitol building. (see our page dedicated to Philip) Most of the descendants were initially farmers and blacksmiths. Later generations entered various professions but were primarily farmers, teachers, Minister's and many entered or served in the Military. Marsteller descendants have fought in every American War including the Revolutionary War and Civil War. The current descendants of the Marsteller's of Pfungstadt represent the tenth and eleventh generations in America over 270 years after the arrival of Johann Georg Marsteller on October 2,1727.

The best diet for skin tightness
The best diet for skin tightness supports collagen production, hydration, elasticity, and reduced inflammation. Here’s a targeted breakdown of the most effective dietary approach:
🔑 Core Diet Strategy for Skin Tightness
1. High-Protein, Collagen-Supportive Diet
- Why: Skin is made of collagen and elastin, both protein-based.
- Focus Foods:
- Bone broth – rich in collagen, glycine, proline.
- Eggs – high in lysine and proline (collagen-building amino acids).
- Grass-fed beef, chicken, wild salmon – complete proteins, zinc-rich.
- Beef liver – rich in retinol (active vitamin A), copper, and B vitamins.
2. High-Antioxidant, Anti-Inflammatory Foods
- Why: Reduce free radical damage that breaks down skin structure.
- Focus Foods:
- Berries (blueberries, raspberries) – high in vitamin C and polyphenols.
- Dark leafy greens (spinach, kale) – vitamin A, C, lutein.
- Green tea – EGCG for skin repair and anti-aging.
- Turmeric (with black pepper) – strong anti-inflammatory.
3. Essential Fats for Skin Elasticity
- Why: Fats are crucial for cell membrane integrity and moisture retention.
- Focus Foods:
- Cold-water fatty fish (sardines, mackerel, salmon) – omega-3s.
- Avocados – vitamin E, monounsaturated fats.
- Extra virgin olive oil – polyphenols and oleic acid.
4. Supportive Carbohydrates (Low-Inflammatory)
- Why: Overdoing sugar and processed carbs leads to glycation → loose, sagging skin.
- Focus Foods:
- Sweet potatoes – beta-carotene for skin health.
- Fermented sauerkraut/kimchi – gut health → skin health.
- Low-glycemic fruits – fiber + antioxidants without sugar spikes.
5. Hydration & Electrolytes
- Why: Dehydrated skin loses elasticity quickly.
- Focus:
- Water – at least half your body weight in ounces.
- Sea salt, potassium-rich foods (e.g. coconut water, leafy greens).
- Magnesium-rich foods – dark chocolate, pumpkin seeds.
💊 Key Nutrient Supplements for Skin Tightness
(especially if you're on a strict carnivore, keto, or low-carb diet)
Nutrient | Role | Suggested Supplement |
---|---|---|
Vitamin C | Collagen synthesis | Liposomal or buffered C, 1–3g/day |
Magnesium | Skin repair, hydration | Magnesium glycinate or malate |
Zinc | Wound healing, collagen | 15–30mg/day |
Copper | Collagen crosslinking | 1–2mg/day (balance with zinc) |
Silica | Skin firmness, elasticity | Bamboo or horsetail extract |
Boron | Hormonal balance, tissue integrity | 3–10mg/day |
Hyaluronic Acid | Skin plumpness | 100–200mg/day |
Collagen peptides | Direct skin support | Hydrolyzed collagen (bovine or marine) |
Gelatin | Skin elasticity + gut health | 1 tbsp/day in tea or broth |
🧠 Pro Tips
- Avoid high sugar, seed oils, alcohol, and processed foods – these break down collagen.
- Incorporate intermittent fasting or time-restricted eating – boosts autophagy and collagen regeneration.
- Carnivore/keto variation: Add organ meats, bone broth, electrolyte support, and low-carb vitamin C sources like sauerkraut or acerola cherry powder.
- Movement: Resistance training improves circulation and skin tone.
