Hi Klaus

Welcome among us, and many thanks for posting those wonderful photos of Erfurt! I visited your town in 1999...and I climbed all those steps up to the cathedral and parish church -- I'm sure you know that Martin Luther's monastery is quite nearby, and he served as a priest in those very buildings. This was, of course, prior to The Reformation!! I visited both the cathedral/parish church and the monastery while I was there, and I enjoyed your home town very much!

I'm sorry that photography is not a hobby of mine, nor is it a capacity of mine, so I cannot post any photos from my visit -- I didn't take any! But thanks so much for reminding me of a memorable time in my life!

Hello Br. James
Many thanks for the nice welcoming. I am pleased you have had my hometown in memory so well this.
Please excuse my bad English. I use a software to the cross over.


However, unfortunately, of Erfurt in front of 1945 I don't have many photos of the time of the American liberation.
Captain George O. Baer was military governor of a town of Erfurt at that time. Does anybody have a picture of him?



Hallo Br. James

Thanks for your good response, Klaus, and never apologize for your use of English -- if I were to try and write in German, you'd never be able to read it!!
