Pictures of Crottendorf & Oberwiesenthal

I've found a few pictures of Crottendorf as it appears today. It looks very prosperous and scenic to me. I searched the telephone book for surnames. There are 13 Schulzes, 12 Hungers, & 7 Schuberts listed. (None of the Schulzes are named Tobias or Bernard.) I'm tempted to write a form letter explaining our family's genealogy & seeing if any of them are related to us.



Here are a couple of photos of Oberwiesenthal. As you can see, it's a winter resort area in the Ore Mountains running along the Czech border. Our family history says Tobias & Wilhelmine had a small foundry & manufacturing shop in the basement of their house in Oberwiesenthal, which is about 5 miles south of Crottendorf. I checked the telephone book and there are 7 Schulzes & 12 Hungers listed. None of the Schulzes are named Tobias.




The following link will take you to a Google map showing Crottendorf & Oberwiesenthal.
