    Owner of Vorder Giebel

    He sold his farm to Ulrich for $60,000, which was worth 250,000 Swiss Francs at the time of his death. Adjusted for inflation, that is worth more than $2 million USD. He loaned out much money as there were many debt letters found at the time of his death. His wealth may have partially be due to him being an only child.

    Built the Stöckli at Giebel with meeting room for the church. He held the title of "steward of the poor" at the church.

    His wife, a Gerber from the original Gerber house (Baumgarten), was known for her beauty and work ethic.

    According to Ernst and Clara's travel log (8 Sept 1929), Christian was mentioned as the person who built the church.

    Ruedi said he felt his father, Ulrich, was too interested in cattle trading, but he admired his grandfather Christian who promoted the reunions of the Neutäufer in the Versammlungshaus, or meeting house. This is known as the Stöckli which he built where the Küherhaus/Hüsli used to be. A "küher" was a high-level farm hand who was responsible for caring for the cattle. Apparently, the existing Stöckli has "NG 1862" inscribed on it, referring to Niklaus Gerber.
