Krumbach

Wednesday Peter, Ilse, Darliene and I traveled some 60 km to the south of Vienna to a small village of Krumbach. This is idyllic little village in the Bucklige Welt “ humpback country”, so named because of it’s hilly nature. The churches in this area were fortified and served as sanctuaries for the population from the advancing Turks and other eastern enemies of the middle ages.






We visited the Parrish Office and gained access to the parish books to search for more ancestors. We were successful in photographing 3 more records.













We visited the cemetery and the local castle which is now a hotel. There we stopped for a brief rest and a cup of coffee.









Peter directed us through some beautiful countryside and as we returned to Maria Enzersdorf, where Peter and Ilse live.













We stopped at a Heurigen for a bite to eat and a glass of wine before returning home.









In the evening we met up with Wolfgang, for dinner and a briefing on our search of his side of the family.
