Loewen, son of Kleine Gemeinde patriarch Isaac Loewen (1787-1873), Lindenau, Molotschna. In 1858 her husband remarried to Aganetha Bartel (1836-67).

In November of 1871 Peter Loewen wanted to marry her sister which was controversial as the Kleine Gemeinde had a policy against such marriages. In 1874 Peter married for the fourth time to widow William Esau, nee Elisabeth Fehr. The Peter Loewen family lived in Hierschau, Molotschna. The family is listed in Hierschau with children: Isaac aged 12 and Susanna aged 9, attending school in 1861-62. From Hierschau the family moved to the estate Sawitzki, a leased property west of the Borosenko settlement (in South Russia). During this time some concerns were expressed to the Kleine Gemeinde Aeltester (bishop) regarding certain land transactions of Peter Loewen in Friedensfeld. On September 21, 1873, Aeltester Peter Toews, refers to Peter Loewen as being from “Steinrich (Zubumku)”. At the time of the emigration from Russia in 1874 Peter Loewen served as the auctioneer for the many disposal sales which took place. The family settled in Hochstadt, near Kleefeld, Manitoba, in 1874. According to historian Henry Fast, Hochstadt was situated on the east side of the creek and the larger village of Gnadenort (Steinrich) on the west side. According to grandson Johann W. Dueck, Peter Loewen had a Dutch style windmill in Hochstadt which may have originally belonged to Gerhard Schroeder in Eigenhof. Peter Loewen's insurance coverage in the KG Brandordnung was cancelled in 1882 indicating that he joined the Holdeman church. He also served as the first mayor and postmaster of the village. According to the 1883 assessment records of the R.M. Of Hanover, Peter Loewen owned 400 acres of land with 50 cultivated. He had four hourses, 11 head of cattle and a large herd of 70 sheep. By 1884 his acreage had increased to 575 acres.
