8053. Rachel MUELHAUSER died about 1580. Her son herited from his parents at Pfullendorf in 1580. This might be the date of Rachel's death. She was first married with Bernhard Grapp (Grappen) who was a Protestant pastor, citizen of the city of Pfullendorf close to the lake of Konstanz. Bernhard was active in Lissenheim, a small village close to the city of Worms. Widowed, Rachel moved with her son Wendel into the city of Strasbourg where she became a burger in 1562 as she married Adolf Zinszner. From her second marriage she got a son named Hans Adolf. Hans Adolf became a typograph. Her first son Wendel became a famous painter. He took the name of Wendel Dietterlin. Before he died, in 1599, he completed his last book about Architectura. Rachel is the common ancestor of all known Zins(s)(z)ners. His son Wendel Dietterlin was found to be one of the ancestor of Albert Schweitzer, who received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1952. Thus all Zinszner of the same generation as Roger Zinszner born 1952, are cousin at the 11th degree with Albert Schweitzer. Their common ancestor is Rachel Grappen.
