David Hochter

David Hochter was born on September 7, 1856, on the Hochter farm as the third child of Samuel Hochter and Elsbeth Silbers. Unfortunately, his older brother Mozes Hochter passed away after complications at birth, which plunged the whole family into a period of sadness. His mother, Elsbeth, even fell into depression. When she found out she was pregnant with David, she feared that this child might also die. Elsbeth did not leave her bed, sang religious chants, and prayed that the baby would be fine. Although the stress took its toll on Elsbeth, David was born healthy and without any complications. For the first few weeks, Elsbeth did not leave his side, afraid that something might happen to him.   David was born into a Jewish family that struggled with extreme poverty. Like his father and older brother, Herman Hochter, David had to work on the farm. As he became older, he also worked on other farms, such as the neighbouring Lutz estate and the Walda family, in order to earn extra money for his family. However, it was barely enough. Like his brother, David dreams of going to school, but there is no money for that. Instead, he spends his free time reading any book he can get his hands on.   David has thick black hair, dark eyebrows, and soft pale skin. He inherited his father's strong posture, but not his height - he measures only 1.45 meters, while his father was much taller at his age. Despite his mother Elsbeth's constant worry due to the trauma of losing her other son Mozes, David is very adventurous and wants to explore the highest trees and deepest holes.      

Residence

The Hochter farm is a small cattle farm located in the Denron neighbourhood of the Vöhren district. It is situated near the crossroads of the Kild River and the Holle River. The property is owned by the Hochter family, who primarily engage in raising and trading cattle. They either keep the cattle on their land or buy from local farmers, then sell the cattle or the produce to others. Their primary trading partner is Silbers butchery, a kosher butcher in the city of Lutheria, which is affiliated with the Hochter-Silbers family.

Hochter

The Hochter family is one of the few Jewish families living in the area. Their ancestors hailed from East Germany and Poland, and they migrated to Kilden in search of a better life. For many generations now, the Hochter family has been residing in the region, with most of them working as farmers or butchers. Most notably, the Hochter farm is known for raising cattle for meat production, which is primarily sold through local butchers in the area. Despite the fact that they still face prejudice and hatred from locals of other religions, the situation is slowly improving, and people are becoming more respectful towards other faiths.
