Ludwig Friedrich Oswald was born, January 16, 1871. His family was living in Riederich, Schwarzwald, Wuerttemberg, Germany at the time. Ludwig was named after his father, who was serving in the German Confederation Army during the French-German War. Ludwig’s mother, Eva Dorothea Schwab, was often left alone to take care of their family while he was gone. Dorothea had farmed with her father while growing up and so this was the trade she continued to do in order to provide for her family.
The small village of Riederich, located in southwestern Germany was hundreds of years old. Generations of Osswald and Schwab ancestors had been born and raised in this area for centuries. The famous Black Forest surrounded the Osswald’s hometown and was the setting for many childhood adventures for Ludwig and his friends.
Ludwig’s early years were full of hard work. As a young boy he worked with his mother in the fields. His days were long and he did many chores that were usually done by older, bigger young men. As more children were added to his family, his responsibilities grew. He became a good worker and was a dependable helper for his mother.
