TheSamba.com :: View topic - Anyone from Kühlenfels, Bavaria, Germany?

Sat Nov 07, 2009 7:45 am

I’m here in Albuquerque, New Mexico visiting my dear aunt till Sunday (I'm from NJ sea shore) and I just found out where my ancestors, the Eckert's & Grunthaner's, "homeland" in Germany is. We are from Bavaria, a town called Kühlenfels, Germany which is 3.4 hrs from Wolfsburg. I don’t know which factory my 67 Westy came from but Kühlenfels is 4.5 miles from Westphalia, My aunt & I are trying to locate a street address in Kühlenfel’s because we only have a house number 44. Any Samba members from that area? I’m thinking perhaps I need to ship my bus to Germany and visit the homeland of my ancestors now that I have finally narrowed down the exact town and home of the Eckert's & Grunthaner's in the Bavarian region of Germany. I feel so connected to this bus now.

I did and it worked for an hr. I think Everett removed it because I got it off a site possibly copywrite issue or was not VW related :cry:

maybe it wsn't everett or any samba moderator, i've sometimes found photos on the web to use as an illustration on forums and they've vanished after a short while.

Oh no it was defiantly pulled because I made a save and posted it in the gallery which is no longer in my photos.
I'll have to be sure to have a bus on it next time :cry:
