Max Kocherthaler was married twice. His first wife died in 1899 and his second wife Jakobine, née Schulherr, died in 1919. 5 children were born of the two marriages. At the age of 70 Max Kocherthaler moved to Strasbourg in August 1933. In 1937 he sold his house at Untere Torstraße 11 to Friedrich Kircher, a shoemaker from Öhring, who set up his shoe shop there.
