Finding old Motifs

Hometown church and graveyard - sketched in 1929, at age 15


Miltern church on a hot day in July 2013













Part of the trip to Poland included checking out the old home town and area. Hard to describe, but after having seen Fritz's early sketches for so many years, it was fascinating to be in the actual location! To walk around, look around, and to feel the history.
 
Windmill, formerly at Miltern - sketched at age 16

The Miltern windmill was torn down many years ago, but there are still a number of them in the area.

Nearby Tangermuende, 1928 - sketched at age 14


View of Tangermuende now










Nearby historic Tangermuende seems unchanged in the many years since
Fritz lived in the area.
