It’s not even 14 days ago that I wrote in the guestbook with my comments on this website: I did not expect that I would receive such a quick and extensive response. I owe this to Mrs Renate von Babka, who responded in a sympathetic, committed way to my rather quiet comments. Now I have a lot of background information on the home of my maternal ancestress, Maria Anna BECKE verehel. Bille (1803-1884) and a stately ancestor in Schoenwald, the wife of Babka confirm and could additionally determine. It’s not personal or data hunting that drives my interest in family and home history, but behind each person, each date, there are human individual fates that shape the family farmyard, village, and local history. We all have a yesterday, today and tomorrow in us at the same time. The memory of what has been – without falling out of time – into the here and now, is a noble and beautiful task. This task is dedicated to and above all the wife of Babka. This has – as far as you contact to the outside, to today’s Czech population maintain – a reconciled and internally a strong identity-creating power, which you give yourself with your Heimatverbundenheit. Finally, allow a quote from Marion Gräfin Dönhoff, who said it against the same background: “The highest form of love is to love without owning.” This is not new, this is Plato, ancient Greek philosophy, but therefore no less correct. With this in mind, I wish you all the very best, success and recognition in your projects. Achim Kreutzer, |

By chance and on the occasion of a visit to Prague, I came upon Googlen in memory of my North Bohemian ancestors on your website of which I am very pleased. I introduce my Bohemian ancestry, which is derived from my great-grandfather Albert Otto Woldemar BILLE (1867-1923), in the hope that one or the other correction, addition or extension can be made. Maybe it’s interesting for others too. I would be glad about every answer: 1 AO Woldemar BILLE 2 Johann Friedrich Otto BILLE 1841-1906 3 Theres Adolphine Adelheid GREINER 4 Johann Albert BILLE 1808-1856 oo 5 BECK (Becke, Beone) MARIANNE * Schönwald 11.04.1803 cath. 1884 10 BECK (E), Anton, Musicus and Mechanicus from Schoenwald, * ibid 13.07.1752 ebd.16.06.1813 oo 25.05.1784 11 PATZELT, Anna Dorothea * Schönwald 1760 ?, ibid. 24.08.1832 20 BECK (E) Johann .

I am looking for data about Franz Richter born in Stürbitz. Wife and children and siblings. Franz was born on 27.01.1872 and died on 07.06.1963 in Töging am Inn. In 1946 he was “Forcibly relocated”. His relatives are diewocks. Who knows something about it. Try to create a family chronicle. The places include Schwaz, Kostenblatt, Poratz, Weißkirchlitz and Belin. My e-mail address is: [email protected]. Maybe I’m lucky. Wish you all a merry Christmas and a healthy year 2013. |

Hello, I am looking for my ancestors in Weißkirchlitz (today Novosedlice). My mother was born in 1922 and my grandparents lived in this place too. My grandfather played the violin and in 1945 my mother and my brother had to leave their hometown. I would be very happy if someone could help me and possibly someone from Novosedlice could help me. My mother’s name is Margit Leopoldine Anna Will. My grandfather Max and my grandma Anna Will. |

Hello Mr. Richter, thanks again for your effort, the contact has made me very happy and you can see how small the world actually is. Now another question, do you know which house in Tyssa or Raiza was my mother’s home? Best regards, Richard Löffler |
Judge Harald from Rostock, Germany on 11/15/2012 11:57:16 AM at FkptRichteraattarcor.de |
I am glad that I was able to help Mr. Löffler to answer his questions due to his entry in this guestbook on 07.08.2012. I could not only name him the name of the original blacksmith master (Mr. Lamer), but after our mail contacts, he even heard from Mr. Löffler that his mother was a former classmate of mine. He was glad that I could also send him photos for it. It’s such a great thing to have a guestbook, as it can make home-based friendships over distant lands. Best regards, Harald Richter formerly Tyssa No. 375 |

Hello, can someone tell me something about the original owners of the restaurant “Zur Schmiede” when it was still used as a blacksmith? This refers to the restaurant “Zur Schmiede” in Tyssa, which was originally used as a forge. Name etc.? That must have been before World War II. greeting |
Renate von Babka from Germany, currently in Saxony on 2/27/2012 1:18:45 AM at renatevonbabkaaattweb.de |
We, Liane Jung and Renate v. Babka greet everyone from the old homeland. A new era has begun between displaced Germans and today’s population;on 24.2. In the town hall of Tyssa, Ms. Liane Jung recounted her personal story of expulsion from pupils and interested fellow citizens. We were warmly welcomed by the mayor and the municipal administration as well as the school management and the teachers. Liane’s commitment is a big step in a friendly and peaceful coexistence of Germans and Czechs and the work-up of the story on both sides. The Collegium Bohemicum deserves our thanks for the organization of the contemporary witness lecture. Best regards, Renate v. Babka |

Hello dear home club, first of all, I would like to congratulate you on your successful website about the area around Peterswald. My ancestors also come from here: my grandmother Anna Mitternacht, nee Schmidt, came from Nollendorf, as well as my great uncle Willi, all probably well known as Willibald Bail from Garbsen. For some time now I have been doing genealogy in this area and would be happy to hear from someone who is researching the same lines. My ancestors come from Nollendorf: Bail, Pertig, Schneider, Purkhard, Ludwig; from Jungferndorf: Schmidt; from Schoenwald: Ritschel, Körtel, Zechel, Püschel and Tyssa: Umlauft and Wagner. I wish all of you a happy new year and good luck! Ingrid Meister from Hochsauerland |

Congratulations to the website created with much effort, love and hope about Peterswald. It would be nice if I could contribute as well and you could help me in my further research on our paternal family. Thank you in advance. Our family Rosenkranz comes from Streckenwald – I first visited Streckenwald in 2009. The place as such no longer exists, there are only isolated houses. Who could tell us more about the Rosenkranz – Kühnel families from Streckenwald? Thank you for all further tracks. Many warm regards, Klaus-Dieter Rosenkranz |
Renate von Babka from Backnang, Germany on 9/1/2011 3:58:18 AM at renatevonbabkaaattweb.de |
In your guest book, I recently read an entry by Edith Fischer in 2005: “We must prevent that we are also expelled from history.” Every day, the present board of the home community is engaged in promoting this process of the centuries-old history of the evicted Peterswalder and the history of the village of Peterswald in northern Bohemia. It is important not only to portray the one day of expulsion, but also the centuries before, starting with the first records of the church after the Thirty Years’ War. It started in 2007 with the translation of the parish chronicle into a today readable script. We are constantly busy to produce pedigrees for expelled Peterswalder pedigrees, meanwhile more than 200. For many descendants, it has become possible to research individual stories. That this is feasible today, we have the municipal administration Peterswald, published in the Peterswald newspaper every quarter a story from the “old” Peterswald, the archive in Aussig, the State Archives in Leitmeritz and the diocese archive in Leitmeritz. Ultimately, we believe that the expulsion from history could be sustainably prevented even with the book “Peterswald and its inhabitants in more than 350 years”.Renate v.

Ritschel Silvio from CH Switzerland on 8/5/2011 8:49:35 AM at fremd-ritschiaatthotmail.com |
Hello! My name is Ritschel. My grandfather Anton Ritschel was born 1902 in Peterswalde u. His wife’s name was Emma Ritschel, born Baumann from Eiland, who had a daughter called Ilse and a son Friederich. Ilse was married to Hans Beese residing in Bad Neustadt, Oberstreu. Friederich has married to Switzerland with Margrit Uttiger. Together they had four children: Fritz, Ehster, Margrit and my father Rudolf. I am a son of Rudolf Ritschel (Rolf Ritschel). I’m interested in the name and maybe someone else knows someone else from the family. I marry in autumn and in Switzerland the name Ritschel is practically nonexistent. Thank you.

Coincidentally, I came across these pages that also evoked memories. My father was born in 1905 in Peterswalde and we had until 1945 there also relatives. I was born in Turn / Teplitz-Schönau in 1933 and grew up there until 1946. The summer holiday during the holidays we spent each year until 1944 in Eiland in the Gasthof Löbel and in this pond I learned to swim. Thank you very much for this nice homepage and all the best. |

Remembrance – Today 63 years ago on November 5, 1945, was the day of expulsion from their home for 230 people from Biela. My grandparents were Max and Sophie Windrich, as well as my father Bruno. It was a goodbye forever. No one knew where it went until after several days in a small town in Thuringia, in Lucka arrived. For all, it was a difficult start in a foreign land where they were not welcome. My grandparents have never seen their home again. Greetings to all hometown friends, Rudolf Windrich |

Hello after a long search I landed on this page and hope that I can learn more about my ancestors through this “forum”. My father Franz Walter Nitsche (born 4.Aug.1936 / died 13.Oct 2001) is in Turn as the first child of the couple Franz Nitsche (born 19.Apr 1908 in turn) and Anna Nitsche born. Aumann was born. By the brother of my father Hans Otto Nitsche I know that my great-grandfather also Franz Nitsche (born 23.July 1868 in Teplitz) was called and was married to Anna Nekwinda (born 17.Oct 1867 in Richenberg at Skutsch). With her he had 7 children (Köller, Maria, Nitsche, Anna, Nitsche, Emil, Nitsche, Antonia, Nitsche, Anton, Nitsche, Karl and as the youngest my grandfather Nitsche, Franz). My great-grandfather also had a brother named Stefan Nitsche who was married to Filomena Klepsch. I know about my grandfather that he worked as a carpenter until his entry into the military or even had a carpentry in Teplitz. He died in the war. My father fled with his brother and grandmother to the Sudetenland after the invasion of the Russian army and finally settled back home near Frankfurt am Main. I would be very happy if someone could help me with my genealogy. With kind regards Martin Nitsche I would be very happy if someone could help me with my genealogy. With kind regards Martin Nitsche I would be very happy if someone could help me with my genealogy. With kind regards Martin Nitsche |

Greetings, Your page is really getting better, and it’s fun to see the so contemporary typical old photos, such as the Customs Office, the Lindenhof, the Burschenkreis, the Mullerferdinand Glocklein, etc. I also like the collection of historically valuable maps , Really, you, that is a valuable contribution to cultural history, which gives insight into the “old” German-speaking Europe. Since there are personal great merit. All the best, continue! |

On April 17, 1945, the US Air Force bombed Aussig. In preparation for this attack, on the morning of this day, terrain shots were taken from a height of approx. 7000 meters with a 900 mm objective. The optical resolution of the photos is impressive. I have pictures of Peterswald from Rondell / Hungertuch to Nollendorf, which I am willing to share with interested parties. Rudolf Pueschel. |

This homepage not only offers an interesting review of our local history as well as a description of numerous experiences and contemporary documents before 1945, but also offers surprises. Thus it became possible that through the use and acknowledgment of this homepage a friendly connection between two “new inhabitants” of my former hometown, the gentlemen Vorlicek and Trnka, which live now in Tyssa, was manufactured. Thank you very much. Harald Richter former Tyssa No. 375. |

Unfortunately, she has hardly any pictures of her time. I would like to visit with her once Peterswald, but I’m not sure if the current state of the place is not too close … thank you to the “makers” of these highly interesting pages and greetings to all guests, a Merry Christmas and a healthy 2008 ! |

Hello dear friends of the homeland, on 22.10.2007, I was with my father Bruno Windrich, born 1931 in Biela, in his old home and have explored the place and the area.

It was just wonderful for me to have the feeling of being where my origins came from. I greet all hometown friends. – Rudolf Windrich |

For about a year I have been working intensively with my ancestors and the history of Peterswald. When I was in the archive in Aussig in March, I was able to copy the chronicle of Pfarrey Peterswald from 1829 to 1900. That is about 1oo pages. Written in Sütterlin script. With the greatest effort I have been able to translate some 14 pages. Who can still read the old script and is ready to help me? I would be glad. Renate from Babka, b. ax |

I am the great-grandson of Adolf Franzé, born in Peterswald (around 1850?). His son Rudolf Franzé (Vienna 1874 – Budapest 1943) was a well-known scientist and has explained in his autobiography the origin of his name: his great-grandfather was a soldier in the Napoleonic army, who was wounded on August 30, 1813 in the Battle of Kulm and Nollendorf and who stayed in a nearby village. He is said to have married his nurse, a Saxon teacher’s daughter. He called himself and the children he produced, “le Francais”, the Frenchman. Afterwards, my grandfather changed his name to Raoul Francé. Who can tell me more about this story and the Franzé family? Thanks in advance and best regards from Paris, Pierre Francé. |

At the age of 13, from 1944-45, I lived with my mother in Peterswald with Frau Dittrich. She had a daughter Gerlinde who taught me to ski. In May 1945 we experienced the end of the war in Peterswald. At the end of May, we were expelled from the authorities. As a Berliner, we had to leave Peterswald as soon as possible. I would now like to know something about the whereabouts (fate) of this family Dittrich. Gerlinde will probably have married, lead a different name. So maybe there is someone who knows Gerlinde Dittrich and knows something about the rest of his life. Gerlinde was in 1945 about 15 years old. Maybe someone knows, even after this long time to report something. Thank you, Heinz Szermerski |

Hello Dear Heimatfreunde, this website is very nicely structured. Did you read in “Trei da Hejmt”. My family comes from Barken, Kreis Tetschen Bodenbach. Maybe someone can help me in terms of “Tyssa walls”. We had made a trip there in 1967 and somewhere we came across an overgrown rock, a grave-like structure. I was only 13 years old and can not remember where it was. I hope someone can help me. Or today to the meeting of the home circle Tetschen-Bodenbach, as every 2.Sunday in the month, the home meeting of the circle Tetschen-Bodenbach in the canteen of the Hessian broadcasting takes place at 14 o’clock, to come over and bring along the information. It greets you Dieter King. |
Gerhard Kasper from Frankfurt am Main De. on 4/8/2006 5:08:16 PM at gerdk31 (aatt) gmx.de |
Hello friends of the hometown, today I have received “Trei da Hejmt!” As Bodenbacher and read in it from your HP. As a child, I often took the train to Teplitz / Weißkirchlitz to visit my grandparents and I am glad that I will drive this route in June again when I visit my last relatives in Teplitz for a week and make a detour to Bodenbach. Unfortunately, the old beauty of the valley is totally spoiled by the prefabricated buildings. Another “unfortunately”: That so few of our compatriots find access to the Web. That is a shame, what could you exchange so many memories and pictures. I have alienated my address, so that it is not found by search engines, there is also my year of birth in it. All the best and a nice Easter wishes Gerhard. |

As early as 1968, my grandfather Friedmund Kraut had been looking for photos in the home magazine “Trei da Hejmt”. Since I am only at the beginning of my search, I would be happy about everything. And great that you have such a page. Kind regards. A. cabbage |

I was visiting Peterswald with my parents in the 60s and was very shocked by how the current situation is shaping up there. I would like to learn more about my great-grandparents and great-great-grandparents. Are there any entries in church books that can be viewed? In the coming year, I would like to plan a trip to Peterswald and also visit acquaintances from my parents, who we were living at the time, the Prochaska family. |

“Researched in detail and worked up are reports of families from Krumau, Mies or Peterswald” writes Ernst Korn in the Sudetendeutschen Zeitung from 9.12.05 in the presentation of the latest work of Sidonia Dedina “The Pyrrhic victory of Edvard Benesch”. Thus Peterswald has become an irrevocable part of the expulsion literature.

The posts in your homepage about our old homeland, be it the interesting posts, the maps or the old maps, in whose footsteps I’ve wandered mentally and rediscovered along forgotten place names – all this makes me happy every time. But your guestbook can also be a “treasure trove”, I recently discovered. Here I discovered during the “Durchblättern” under the entry of 1/2/2003 by Mr. Toepfer from Jena / Thuringia, that his ancestors also come from my hometown Tyssa. I am glad that I found another “home friend” in this way. I wish you continued success in your extensive work. |

And is the aforementioned father This Maria Wolf, Gustav Wolf (Wofensgust) my great-grandfather? Maybe you can give me some hints. Thank you for your effort, and best regards, Dieter Kraus |
Volker Lange from Weissach im Tal / Backnang on 8/11/2005 1:19:33 PM at VolkerLangeBacknangaattT-Online.de |
I am looking for my ancestors from Nollendorf No. 50. His name is Franz Kinzel, or Künzel. (I have a document which testifies to this change of name.) He was married to Anna Kühnel (Nollendorf). He was a farmer-yard / good owner. He had at least one son: Kinzel, Franz Anton Heinrich, born 1807 in Nollendorf No. 50. This was a roofer and went to (Neustadt-) Eberswalde northeast of Berlin where he married Kortmann, Anna Therese Henriette (1837). He must have had a sister, because his youngest son Albert (1837) was several years with his uncle Albert Bail in Nollendorf where he personally picked him up and got a pass from the sexton who was also called Ludwig Bail! I thank you for every hint. |

The Sudeten German Day in Augsburg, a homecoming in Hainburg, and visits to Peterswald, Tyssa, Raiza, Nollendorf, Kulm, Carlsbad, Eger and Wittenberg were stays of a 2-month trip to Europe. Achievements were exhibition of products of the former Peter Walder “metal goods Pueschelmuehle” Knopffabrik (1879-1945) in the local history museum in Seligenstadt and set up a memorial and memorial plaque on the family grave in the dilapidated cemetery in Peterswald.

My entry today should not only be an appreciation of your great achievements in the design of your interesting web-side. Today I would like to express once again thanks to Mr. Horst Langer (formerly Tyssa / fallow no. 106, now in the USA) and to Ms Köbler, b. Pohler (formerly Tyssa / fallow no. 108, now in Canada), who first enabled me to contact you. The connection came about as these hometown friends read my contribution in our hometown titled “Tyssa – a Winter’s Tale” and wrote me down. The result was a friendly and home-based email exchange, which I am very pleased and at the same time proud that I could provide you for the further design of your web-side photos from the old homeland. I never thought, that after such a long time and with such great distances, once again “Four Tyssaers” would meet again. I wish you continued success and best regards. |

I’m currently doing family research and unfortunately I’m in my mother’s family. Regina Elisabeth Riha, who was born in Schönwald in 1937, does not continue to be able to complete the existing information. Her parents were Josef Riha and Elisabeth Franziska, b. Ritschel. Can anyone still remember these people? I would be very happy about a message. |

I’m trying to find out more about my family right now. So far I know the following: The grandfather of my grandmother’s name was Anton Ritschel. From his marriage with unknown Josef, Franz, Gustav, Anton, Mina, Marie, Anna and Wenzel Ritschel emerged. I know about Wenzel Ritschel that he was born in Schönwald in 1889 and died in 1951 in Weilheim, Bavaria. His children are Hildegard (Weigend) (born 1922 in Schönwald, lives in Frankfurt / Main), Maria (Nitschke) (born 1921 in Schönwald, died 1989 in the Taunus), Elisabeth (Pissner) (born 1927 in Schönwald, lives in Thuringia) and Wenzel (born 1924, lives in the district of Grimma). Furthermore, I know that the flight from the Czech Republic ended briefly and for some longer term in Mecklenburg. Unfortunately, I do not know anything about the other family branch Weigend aus Raiza. I’m really happy about any help. Thanks, David Weigend |

A group of former Peterswalder has decided to erect a memorial in the dilapidated cemetery in Peterswald to commemorate the Germans buried there since AD 1235. I ask for ideas and suggestions. – Irrespective of this, in May 2005, I will place a plate in memory of my grandfather, buried there and his posthumous human, transferred to Galicia in 1915 to the former family grave. A visit to the tomb during your next visit to Peterswald is welcome! – On the occasion of a visit to the mayor of Peterswalden, in order to obtain permission to record, I obtained a copy of the sketch of the northern half of the cemetery. If someone wants to locate the grave of his ancestors, this sketch would help. Rudolf Pueschel. |

I was in Peterswald last weekend with my wife. It’s really howling. To the left and right of the street are Vietnamese stalls. Everything else is forfeited. At the weekend, the sheet avalanche rolls to Peterswald to refuel cheap. It stinks of exhaust fumes. I can not come here that fast. |
Beate Ritschel from Germany on 8/13/2004 8:00:37 AM at discereaattgmx.de |
I need information about my ancestors, who come from Peterwald, especially the last name and first name of my great-grandmother. My father’s name was Walter Ritschel, son of Julius Ritschel, murdered in the detention center around 1945 and Emma, who died in 1933. I’m glad about every hint. |

Dear friends of Peterswald! The spa development and promotion association Bad Gottleuba – Berggießhübel e. V. ( www.badgottleuba-berggiesshuebel.de), the memorial stone of the Olympic Torch Relay of 1936 will be redone with a ceremony on 1 May, equipped with new benches around it and equipped with an information showcase, returned to the public (the stone is being cleaned and the writing is being reworked). We are in the process of making a documentary about the Torch Relay, but our information begins only at the border. Does anyone have any knowledge and / or documentation about the torch relay in Peterswald or about the track from Teplitz? Are there the names of the torchbearers? We look forward to every support. What else our club does, you can see on our website (via the city portal of Bad Gottleuba-Berggießhübel). In any case, first of all best thanks for your interest! Regards Karl-Hartmut Blesik PS: |

I am the great-grandson of Adolf Franzé, born in Peterswald (around 1850?). His son Rudolf Franzé (Vienna 1874 – Budapest 1943) was a well-known natural scientist and has explained in his autobiography the origin of his name: his great-grandfather had been a soldier in the Napoleonic army, who was wounded on August 30, 1813 in the Battle of Kulm and Nollendorf was and remained in a nearby village. He is said to have married his nurse, a Saxon teacher’s daughter. He called himself and the children he produced, “le Francais”, the Frenchman. Afterwards, my grandfather changed his name to Raoul Francé. Who can tell me more about this story and the Franzé family? Thanks in advance and best regards from Paris, Pierre Francé I made a website about my grandfather: www.raoulfrance.com |

Hello Nollendorfer, I’m looking for a family researcher who deals with Nollendorf and is ready for a data exchange. The ancestor of my wife is on 07.07.1859 in Nollendorf no. 33 born as Anton Nitsche. He died in 1900 in Tischau or Eichwald. On 13.02.1882 he married Anna Webersinke in Nollendorf born on 29.05.1858 in Liesdorf, died on 18.03.1918 in Eichwald. They had 6 children. I am thankful for every hint.

In search of the address of the local government, I discovered old pictures of Peterswald, Nollendorf, Jungferndorf, Schoenwald, Streckenwald and Adolfsgruen. Have a look www.obecpetrovice.cz/hifotogalerie.htm and have a look at them. – I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Successful pages! As we move from time to time in the area around Tyssa by foot, I know this corner quite well. Our experiences from last month: After Eiland and also Tyssa one likes to come again, the places have become quite attractive again. In Raitza, the foxes say good night, much is no longer available – Neuhof and hunger cloth are completely gone. And Peterswald is unfortunately only suitable to pass quickly. Dreadful, the garden gnome and Vietnamese invasion that never stops when you walk through the place. And yet another hint: In Tyssa in front of the church is now since January every day (seriously!) The Czech police and cashed (mainly German) from motorists who do not carry a “D” on the vehicle or certain things not in the trunk with him to lead. And as we ourselves could observe from the beer garden, the business is profitable. Best regards |

My ancestors come from Bohemia on the mother’s side. For example, my mother’s grandfather (Josef Brechensbauer) was still a teacher in Teplitz and also worked as an Erzgebirge local historian. Among other things, he is said to have written or at least contributed to: “From my home village Schönwald in the Erzgebirge”. Does anyone know this work? Great, by the way, that there are such web pages as yours! |
Rudolf Pueschel from Mountain View, CA, USA on 2/7/2003 11:11:34 PM at rfpueschelaattmsn.com |
I allow myself to make two additions to Franz Gruss’ contribution. 1. The “Peterswalder Strasse” is partially laid out along the old “Salzstrasse”, on which the vital raw material salt from the area around Halle / Saale was created after the salt-free boehmen before the local foundation around 1240. 2. On the “Peterswalder Strasse”, before the construction of the state railway along the Elbe, the stagecoach Vienna-Prague-Dresden-Berlin and vice versa. As a border town, Peterswald had profited greatly from it and at that time was even bigger than Aussig in terms of population. |
Herbert Pietschmann from 80638 Munich on 1/29/2003 4:53:36 PM at herbert_pietschmannaatthotmail.com |
Dear Peterswalder hometown friends, the consequences of the Elbe flood made it necessary to drive to Peterchen to Tetschen last year. So we also got to know this (once certainly more beautiful) place once. We recently had the thought to once again look at your homepage. Take a look at the homepage “www.landeszeitung.cz”. The national newspaper of the Germans in Bohemia, Moravia and (Sudeten-) Silesia is in my opinion worth to be listed also with the contacts. Sincerely send you Herbert and Waltraud Pietschmann (Politz on the Elbe / Brno, now Munich) |
Greetings from Berlin on 1/27/2003 4:47:59 PM at fragruaattweb.de |
Dear Mr. Zechel, the homepage is successful. This speaks of loyalty and closeness to the home community, commitment to the preservation and dissemination of times long gone, but never forgotten times and moments. Design and content correspond to my time. It is more than just a homepage par excellence, whose creator deserves thanks and appreciation. It is legitimate that Peterswald is central. The village has its unique history.Napoleon’s troops once crossed the main road, marched Wehrmacht columns from the “Reich” to the Sudetenland in 1938, fired the Russian tanks in 1945, and in 1968 dragged the treks of refugees and displaced persons, dragging the miserable columns of death marches out of the concentration camps. The citizens from the former GDR roared into the Czech countryside and everything else happened. So the homepage is not only a reminder for the former inhabitants, but also enlightenment for all those who live there today and for the descendants whose ancestors pulled one way or another through Peterswald. What happened in Peterswald, as people experienced it, was also transferred to Nollendorf, Tellnitz, Arbesau, Kulm etc. along the new Teplitzer Straße, Reichsstraße, Kaiserstraße or whatever it is called. If we continue to enjoy the beauty of nature, what was once created by the ancestors and what remains of it, we stop at the monuments, enjoy the viewpoints that are so abundant there and let our thoughts run free. Yours sincerely, F. Gruß, |

Congratulations on your successful homepage. I was Schneeberger and from 1942 until our expulsion to Tyssa school. From this time I know many hometown friends from Tyssa, Raiza and Eiland and like to remember this school time, although the way to school of about 7 km was not always easy, especially in winter. But at the time you were still young and did not take many things so tragically. Many greetings to all hometown friends. |

During a recent visit to Canada’s Sudeten settlement in British Columbia, I met a former Peterswalder who had to flee from the Gestapo in 1938. He is born in 1919 and nephew of the sugar baker and carrier Novak. His address: Richard Gebhart, POBox 139, Tomslake BC V02 2L0 Canada. He would certainly look forward to a contact. RFPueschel. |

I look forward to the activities of your association and I wish you all the best for all your common projects and good luck. What connects me with your home community is the fact that I am greeted by the Sattelberg in the distance from my apartment building. Unfortunately, this beautiful mountain has been forgotten in recent years. All roads to the summit are overgrown. It should not stay that way! At the moment I am very much involved in reviving this tourist destination on the grounds of your former neighbor municipality Schönwald. In addition to a lookout tower, the Christ Cross should also find its worthy place and, of course, a refuge should also be built. That does not happen overnight. I search for informational material about the mountain and contemporary witnesses, |

I was with my brother and his son on 21-22. January 2002 in Peterswald and surroundings. We wanted to experience once again Peterswald in the snow. Unfortunately it was raining. Surprises: In front of Air Restaurant Petrovice, a beer seller wanted to tell me that he has been entitled to the stuffed poppy for 200 years. The Nollendorfer Schenke alias Restaurace Napoleon has been transformed into the bordello Paradiso. The Schönwalder church has been painted from the outside and its roof is repaired (Weiss jemend, who financed it?) In Schneeberg there are new Überrnachtungsmöglichkeiten. – Best regards from California, RF Pueschel. |

My family came back from Tyssa, a place I’ve visited on my way back to 1620. They first lived in Tyssa around 1800 having come from ears. I have thus acquired a lot of documents and photographs dating from the 1880’s. Is there any other information available about the place and those that lived there? |
