The itinerary is flexible and based on the ancestry of the group. We travel to small villages and towns, sit down and share meals with locals, visit churches and view church documents from as early as the mid-seventeenth century. It’s not just all ancestral churches and villages, we experience German food and beverages, we visit castles, historic towns and cities, and historically significant sites. It is THE GERMAN cultural trip.

So, where will you take us? Perhaps to Müsen, the Kemper, Martin and Brumbach village, to peruse the church books with Pastor Weiss and visit the medieval mining settlement of Altenberg….or maybe to Eisern, the village of the Hofmann and First Colony Weaver families, to see firsthand the ancient art of iron smelting in the Windhofen dating from 500BC and the home of Johannes Hofmann:

We might stop at the Fleischmann village of Klings on our way south and tour the Wartburg Castle, sanctuary of Martin Luther in 1521.

Perhaps you would like to stroll down the streets of Trupbach and see the homes of the Holzklau, Otterbach, Heimbach, Jung and Fischbach families after being greeted by a brass band of your cousins…or pay a visit to the beautiful village of Ötisheim, home of the Broyles and Ruop families prior to their immigration to Virginia.

How about a visit in the Krachigau to Johanniskirche, the church of the Wilheit and Bumgardner families, built on the site of a chapel from the 9th century?

Our base in the north is the Hotel Zur Alstadt, located in the old town of Freudenberg, complete with cobblestone streets and historic timberframe houses.

2016 Trip recap: We went cuckoo in Germany! Recap of Foundation’s 14th Germany Trip with our travelers from across the USA, Germany, Italy and Switzerland led by tour guides, EK Mello and Barbara Price.

We really did go cuckoo in Germany when we celebrated the wedding anniversary of Robert Beverly “Bev” and Barbara Ohrndorf in the village of Neuenberg, drinking wine from the Gugguschnescht “Cuckoo’s Nest” on the day they were married in Cuckoo, Virginia, 57 years ago!

Our visit began in the Siegerland region of North Rhine-Westphalia, home of the 1714 and Little Fork immigrants. The magical historic timber-frame village of Freudenberg was our base for four days, where the new mayor of Fruedenberg, Nicole Reschke, Volkmar Klein, representative of the German Parliament, and many old friends welcomed us.

In the village of Oberfischbach, the Pastor and local historian Teo Schwartz greeted us and explained the history of the communion chalice given to the parish in 1665 by Prince Johannes Moritz and still in use today.

A greeting by the Little Mayor of Niederndorf, a visit to the Cuntze home, Boos Hus, and lunch provided by the Heimatverein at their Meeting Lodge was only outdone by history of the Cuntze family that was shared with us in the way of baptismal and civil records.

Heimatverein President Hildegard Bergmann, a brass band and our old friend Herr Ulrich Vetter, owner of the Otterbach home, welcomed us to Trupbach.

The visit to Müsen was special for Barbara Martin Naef who celebrated her birthday in the village of her Merten/Martin ancestors, toured the 1310 Stahlberg Mine, and searched the church books with her cousins.

Lunch in Eisern with the Heimatverein and DAG (German-American Association) President, Volker Schuettenhelm, was followed by a hike to an ancient Celtic furnace from 500 B.C.

All enjoyed our afternoon coffee and cake at the beautiful home of our long-time friends, Lisa and Hannes Kraemer, in Kaan Marienborn followed by dinner with the DAG and Volkmar Klein at the oldest pub in Siegen, Gasthaus Peun.

We toured Siegen with our expert guide, Alida Mathey, visiting the Upper Castle gardens, where we paid homage to our Otterbach ancestress, Gertrud Stuell, at the Hexenturm (witches tower), the guild quarters of old town Siegen, and the Nikolai Church, where many of our ancestors were baptized and married and where we worshipped on Sunday.

On to the Kraichgau, home of the Second Colony!!! The stunning church in Schwaigern that dates from 1514 was breathtaking with all of its late medieval art, then on to Stetten am Heuchelberg, ’s first visit to the Holt family village. Dieter Schilling, not only gave us the history of the church and the village, but also presented us with transcribed Hold/Holt church records!

Lunch and visit to the private castle of the noble family von Gemmingen completed our journey through Gemmingen, home of the Clores. Then on to the village of Oberoewisheim to hear the history of the church and see the fabulous burial altar located outside the church from 1422.

In the village of Neuenbuerg, the Heimatverein greeted us with Sekt (champagne), took us on a hayride through the vineyards, then serenaded us at the Gugguschnescht for some good, down home cooking!

Rothenberg ob der Tauber served as a free day to shop and explore the historic walled city, then dinner at the gracious Hotel Markusturm, a former toll house dating from 1264.

Our next stop, Bonnigheim, had many surprises in store for our Amburgey descendant, Linda Fifield. Our new contact, Ann Ackerman, an American attorney living in the city, the mayor and a descendant of Conrad Amburger’s baptismal sponsor all welcomed us, provided records, and showed us the location of the Amburger home.

In the village of Cleebron, Liz Sollenberger was honored to play the organ in the very church that her Aylor ancestor attended! Her joy brought us all to tears!

Last, but certainly not least, were the Jaeger/ Yager villages of Falkenstein and Marienthal. The steep climb from the castle fortress at Falkenstein is not for the faint of heart! Our longtime friend, Pastor Sabine Kaffka’s history of the church in Marienthal only added to the joy of seeing Warren Heist and his cousin, Mick Noll, at the baptismal font of their ancestors. It made for a good day and a proper end to our trip.

Twenty-two travelers met at Keflavik, Iceland, airport early Monday 8 June for the flight to Frankfurt. They had gathered from flights from Dulles, Portland, and Seattle and represented descendants from at least 7 states. In Frankfurt, a Kentucky traveler and Ulrike Mayer-Mello, leader-in-training, met us and we piled into 4 vans to drive to the Siegerland.

In the homeland of the 1714 and Little Fork emigrants the Siegerlanders overwhelmed us with kindness and hospitality, beginning with a greeting from our longtime friend Eckhard Guenther, Mayor of Freudenberg. The bells of Oberfischbach rang out in our honor as we arrived in the last church that Pastor Haeger and Schoolmaster Jacob Holtzclaw served before Virginia. The Trupbach Heimatverein put on a delicious lunch, a program about village history, music, and a walking tour.
