Mainzlarer Weg, Lollar, Germany


This is the house that Lydia Henricksen, fled to with her brother Adolf, and daughter Renate during the bombing of Geissen on December 5,6 of 1944. 

Marx Family Home from early 1900 to 1939.

This is in Lollar, I (Lydia Henricksen) was born in this house, my grandparents (Karl and Margarete Munzert lived there, it was a Company owned place - Opa did work for Buderus and they had these rows of apartments, they are still there. I do believe that my Grandma lived there until Opa died and than she had to move out.
