Lippe, the Schake homeland

The Schake homeland of Lippe in the Teutoburger Forest as seen today near Detmold. Farmland and village in background with the Herman-Denkmal Monument in foreground honoring the 9 A.D. victory of Arminius over the Romans. This, their friends, family members and a heritage as German peasants Kurt, Friedericke and family left behind.

Appreciation is expressed to Hans Engelbrecht of Bad Salzuflen, Lippe for furnishing this picture.
