Here are some stunning images from a research trip in 2008 to Schlieben, south of Berlin & east of Leipzig.

Alice Eichholz shared an image & story by Ursula Krause of Rootseekers:   This is me, a LOOOONG time ago at the parish office in Hohenmocker, [in what was once] Western Pomerania, reading a church book that begins in the year 1720. I love working with the original books, the smell and the old paper. I imagine the clerk or the pastor sitting at his desk, entering names and dates, or preparing the sermon, his wife working in the big church garden, a day laborer passing by to let the pastor know that a child was born to him and his wife and needs to be baptized as soon as possible as it is small and weak, the day laborer’s wife to let the pastor know that her husband died of consumption last night, the young blacksmith to announce his wedding to the miller’s daughter and the farmer and his family who say their last goodbye before leaving for America. And while my hair has turned gray, these stories probably still fill the room of the parish office in Hohenmocker.

  • Karl-Michael Sala Lovely shot & story. Thanks, Alice Eichholz, for sharing Ursula Krause’s great, short anecdote about what it is that we’d most often like to do.
