Hochstetter family

The Höchstetter family, from Höchstädt in western Bavaria near the banks of the Danube, were members of the fifteenth and sixteenth-century mercantile patriciate of Augsburg.

Copper in England
The Höchstetter were involved in an Elizabethan copper-mining venture with the Society of Mines Royal. In 1564 Elizabeth I granted Daniel Höchstetter and his English partner Thomas Thurland a patent to mine and refine gold, copper, silver, and mercury (quicksilver), in England and Wales. They were allowed 24 partners or investors. They worked copper mines in the Lake District. This arrangement was dissolved in 1577. ==Notes==
