According to various Gaman knights' records, Elsi Zauggwas the daughter of
Blacksmith Peter Zaugg of Sumiswald, gave a large tract from her estate
to the Gaman knights. Because of an unusually hard plague that probably
caused the death of several of Ulli's and Elsi's children, tradition
states that this gift of land may have been a token of gratitude for
sparing one of her children.

Already in the fourth and fifth centuries, the Joders are known to have
settled on the right shore of the Emme River on what is still known today
as "Joder Hubel" or "Joder Hill" (elevation 9,870 feet). This hill was
developed into a walled stronghold to protect Joder clans throughout the
years.
On a 1384 tax register for the small village of Huttwil, Ulli Joder and
his son, Heini Joder, are recorded as the highest taxed families.
