Answer 1

I'd start with the LDS Family History Center nearest you and order the films on the town, both civil and religious. Given the name and location, the odds are high that he was either Catholic or Lutheran and that there's a baptismal record on him in those films. If he was Evangelisch, it's possible there's a baptismal record, or maybe a marriage record. In either case, you could look for his marriage record through the church records and try to find the civil records showing his parents through the family registration sheets.
