Schirgiswalde


Here we are standing outside Bruce's Great Grandmothers home (Frau Pauline Richter), Kieferbergstrasse 11, in Schirgiswalde. Siegfried (Bruce's father) stayed here with his parents for a short while before coming to Australia in 1925. The house now is over 150 year old! We couldn't find Sieg's home where he was born, it has probably been replaced with newer housing.
We picked up Eddie (Norberts father) in Seifhennersdorf and drove into the Zittau mountains for a cup of coffee in Oybin, but Bruce had a beer - so many pubs and so little time.....
Today we journey to Berlin, then Nuremberg and to Munich for the Octoberfest and the AFL GF at the Arc Hotel.

Hey Bruce,
Good to see the blog up. Make sure you two head through Germany's Black Forest on your trek down into Switzerland...amazing scenery, and more castles than you can shake a stick at. Does Siemens own everything down there yet?
