Family Hutstein(er) in Lower Bavaria and Upper Austria descended from the small hamlet of Hutstein. All descendants of this hamlet were called "Hutsteiner". One family line lost it's ending "-er" in beginning of the 19th century. First known occurence of the name Hutstein in this region is 1509.

Coat of Arms or any castles our family obviously never possesed, but I was told during my researches that within The Hutstein a ghost should live.

When I started to search for the HUTSTEIN I met an elderly women who reminded me not to wake the forest ghost ('Waldmännchen') living in the little cave of the HUTSTEIN
