charlie2 Posted 10 December , 2018 Share Posted 10 December , 2018 Thanks for sharing Roy, the very first postcard addressed to Miss Hansmann at Villa Löwenherz caught my eye, I go there now and again in summer. http://www.villa-loewenherz.de/ Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie2 Posted 11 December , 2018 Share Posted 11 December , 2018 Hi Roy, Villa Löwenherz is a building which I presume belonged at the time to a family who were not short of a copper or two. It is now a cafe/B&B/hostel. Lauenförde is a little town on the river Weser. At the time it was normal to write the address giving the town first and then the street.

charlie2 Posted 11 December , 2018 Share Posted 11 December , 2018 After a bit more looking, the villa belonged to the Löwenherz family, a jewish family that owned a factory that produced toys, prams, garden furniture etc out of wood. Miss Hansmann isn‘t mentioned as being part of the family so I presume she was a domestic servant. Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loader Posted 13 December , 2018 Share Posted 13 December , 2018 These cards show that even with the danger factor aside, life in the trenches was an uncomfortable miserable existence.It did not recognize any side or nation, it was an equal opportunity misery.
