Could anyone translate these two occupations taken from church records?
Rothgerber: I know what a Gerber is but what exactly is a red one? From the mid 17th Century.
Richter: Entry says the individual was a 'Bauer und Richter'. Thode's dictionary says
Rothgerber: I know what a Gerber is but what exactly is a red one? From the mid 17th Century.
Richter: Entry says the individual was a 'Bauer und Richter'. Thode's dictionary says
Richter means Judge-----but Richter isn't in modern dictionaries. The root seems to mean 'to correct or to make right'----perhaps something like an arbitrator, but he was also a farmer. This entry is from the 1730s.

Here is a translated definition for "Rotgerber" from the online site Wörterbuchnetz:
red tanner, m. a tanner who prepares red leather: rotgerber; red-gerber, coriarius, in contrast to the weissgerber, because its leather is reddish.

From the Collins German-English, English-German Dictionary, unabridged 5th edition, published in 2004, page 1750:
Richter: judge
Your interpretation as an "arbitrator" would work as well.
