This is a sign on a main intersection of Flintbek, Germany. Taken in August of 1999 it marks the street leading to the old Schlotfeldt Hof (farm). Two of our cousin's families still live on this street. Hans-Hinrich who was born on the original farm and Helmut who happened to move here after retiring in Kiel. The other photos, taken by Jim S., are of the wooden spire of the church which was founded in 1223 and a view from the churchyard. The other photo is of Hans-Hinrich and his 3 sons (wife Erika is taking the picture) with Jim Schlotfeldt of Washington D.C.in the front row right. Hans'sister, Christiana, and her husband Hartmut Barthel are in the back row on the right. They live near Flintbek.
Hans' & Christiana's brother Claus-Jürgen lives in Flintbek but had moved to another farm area away from Schlotfeldtsberg Str. after a fire took most of the original farmstead in 1981. (His family is not in this picture.)
