On July 7, 1833 she married Franz Roettecken (Rothaken) in Westhofen, district of Iserlohn, Westphalia. The couple had three children: Hermann Herbert, born on July 25, 1839 in Schwerte, Westphalia, Emil and Augusta. <br />Sophia Traugott married Traugott Eduard Thümmler in her second marriage. Traugott Thümmler was born on December 30, 1815 in Neukirchen near Crimmitschau in Saxony. At the time of the visit in 1873, his sister-in-law Hedwig Freifrau von Thuemmler and his nephew Joachim Freiherr von Thuemmler lived in Selka in the former Duchy of Saxony-Altenburg on the manor that had belonged to the family since 1817. Traugott's brother Ferdinand Thuemmler also lived on a manor in Miesitz. <br />The castle in Selka was blown up by the communists on the orders of the Soviet occupation administration in 1948. The manor house in Miesitz was also largely destroyed at this time.Sabina von Thuemmlerhttps://www.familiengeschichte4u.de/noreply@blogger.com
