Records also indication Johann and Dorothea married in Wittenberg, just east of Hamburg, and that they didn’t leave Germany for the United States until 1867. Given that the Hartz family came from the Sarre or Saarland in Germany, it’s very possible that her family relocated and that Johann met her outside Fehmarn.
