Philipp Heun, son of Neidhardt Wilhelm Heun and Magdalena Rausch, was born in Rommers on 1 May 1725. He married Katharina Limpert on 20 July 1748.

Philipp Hein, a farmer, his wife Katharina, and children (Valentin, age 19; Nikolaus, age 16½; Katharina, age 11; Georg, age 4; Philipp, age 2) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 14 September 1766 aboard a ship under the command of Skipper Reders.

Arriving in Oranienbaum with them  were Johann Martin Guttmann & his wife Margaretha Heun from Rommers who had been married on 12 May 1766 in the Lutheran Church of Büdingen. Margaretha is believed to be the daughter of Philipp Hein & Katharina Limpert.
