Franz Heinrich Zitz

On June 3, 1837, he married the writer Katharina Theresa Halein, not completely of his own free will, but under threat of suicide.

As a member of the Frankfurt parliament, Franz played a respected role on the far left, and as the head of the militia in Mainz he was highly esteemed and trusted by the people of that town.

He sported a remarkably full and unkempt beard during the 1849 uprising, and when it failed, toward the end of that year, he emigrated to America, settling in New York as a notary, a partner in the firm Kapp, Zitz and Fröbel.

[1] When amnesty was offered, he returned to Europe and died in Munich.
