Hölzerlipps
Georg Philipp Lang, called Hölzerlipps, from the Nassau town Roth am Berg, was the leader of a gang of thieves of the same name. Philipp got the name Hölzerlipps by his former activity as a manufacturer of wooden toys and the abbreviation of his name (Lipps =-Phillip). After a raid on a carriage he was arrested and then executed in Heidelberg. He was regarded as the cruelest and most malicious, who could not dampen his own anger and showed an excellent superiority. He was a famous gangster of his time.
Christian Kupferberg
The name Kupferberg is closely associated with Babenhausen. Christian Kupferberg was the son of the Grand Ducal District Tax Collector Joseph Kupferberg. He began training as an export merchant in 1843. He was sentenced to one year in prison for killing a Prussian dragoon lieutenant in a duel with him. Why? Because the lieutenant had insulted his bride. Duels with real weapons were forbidden.
