Most notable from the Wettach Family was the world-famous clown Adrian Wettach, known by his artists name, Grock.

One of the Wettachs in the USA who got a whole book covering his work is A.M. “Pete” Wettach - a photographer, covering the daily life in rural Iowa. Click on the picture to get to the website on this book.
