CHRISTIAN GUNZENHAUSER, a prom- inent business man and respected citizen of Lan- caster, proprietor of the large bakery at No. 255 West King street, was born in Wurtemberg, Ger- many, July 23, 1857, son of Leonard and Anna (Kauffman) Gunzenhauser.
Leonard Gunzenhanser, the father, was born in Germany, and died there, as did also his wife, the former when Christian was but one year old, and the latter when he was but twelve. They were the par- ents of six children, five of whom came to America. By trade the father was a miller, and he operated a mill of his own.
After the death of his father Christian Gunzen- hauser lived with his mother until orphaned by her death. He lived with his sister two years, and was only fourteen when he came to work out his own future in America. Knowing that many of his coun- trymen were in Lancaster, he went thither, and for two years did such work as he was able to find, finally entering the bakery of Lawrence Goos, where he continued for two years, thoroughly learning the trade. For several years succeeding he worked as a journeyman for George Goebel, and then went to
Philadelphia, working for ten years with different firms, thus learning all methods and all kinds of baking and mixing. He first started in business for himself in Lock Haven, Pa., where he continued for two years, and then went back to Lancaster. where he bought the Goebel bakery, located at No. 231 West King street. He successfully conducted same until 1900, when he purchased his present building, and has continued to prosper. He improved the property and has it now in perfect condition, taking a pride in its clean and sanitary arrangement, by which he can offer to his patrons a high class of healthful and most attractive line of breads, pastries and all kinds of cakes. His sale of bread alone reaches over 25,000 loaves a week. Mr. Gunzen- hauser has twelve delivery wagons employed in dis- tributing his goods in various parts of the city and county, and employs some fifty assistants. In ad- dition to his Lancaster store, which is a three-story brick building, he has built a three-story brick build- ing 48x72 feet in dimensions, which he has equipped with the latest improved machinery, in fact, it is considered one of the finest bakeries in the State. Mr. Gunzenhauser has a number of branch stores throughout the county. While no kind of bakery production is neglected in this establishment, a specialty is made of wedding cakes. His equipment and accommodations would do credit to any city.
Mr. Gunzenhauser is connected with various German organizations in Lancaster, and also belongs to the A. & O. K. of M., White Cross Commandery, No. 2; D. P. O. E., No. 13.4. He is a member of the Lutheran Church. In politics he is independent.
In 1882 Mr. Gunzenhauser married Katie L. Schaefer, who was born in Lancaster, daughter of Christian Schaefer. a well-known notion merchant of West King and Water streets, Lancaster, and a prominent citizen. Four children have been born to this union: Harry ( who died at the age of six years), Margaret, Frank and Charles. The suc- cessful career of Mr. Gunzenhauser shows the re- sult of industry, energy and economy. He began life with small means, and has won his own way to the confidence of his business associates and the es- teem of his community, and is justly regarded as a representative business man of his adopted city.
