Emigration records from the mayor's offices of Lützellinden and Rechtenbach reveal the migration patterns of Prussian citizens between 1819 and 1915, primarily towards North America. These transcribed documents, sourced from the Hessisches Hauptstaatsarchiv Wiesbaden, detail applications predominantly from residents of various villages and the town of Gießen, with a small number also aiming for England, Argentina, and Australia. The study provides insight into the historical context of emigration during this period in the Prussian Rhine Province.
