Inherited the tenancy of Haase Haus from his father. It was physically one of the smaller houses at the time, and the land associated with it was also relatively small. The eldest child (daughter Florentine) stood to inherit the tenancy, though that really meant her husband. He was Ludwig Riedesel. Georg Herman Althaus died in 1824 at which time Ludwig Riedesel became the nominal owner. Some or all of the Althaus siblings continued to live in the house along with the growing Riedesel family. That also included Ludwig Dürr, son of Elisabeth Gertaudt Althaus.
At least three and probably four of the Althaus sibings went to America. Possession of Haase Haus passed from Ludwig Riedesel to another villager. The youngest sibling, Johann Georg Althaus, stayed in Wunderthausen but lived elsewhere.
As the oldest child, Luise stood to inherit rights to the "Canongut" at Petersgrund. In reality, the rights passed to her husband.
