This is the oldest known location that our Ungerechts would have visited. They lived in Walldorf until the late 1600's, records before the 1600's were lost (probably because of the 1634 fire during the 30 Years War). This church was first mentioned in documents in 982 AD. |

| - | Philip emulating the archers that would have defended the church from these walls. The walls were built in 1008 AD, if I read the history correctly. But they weren't enough to defend against all the troubles of the 30 Year War. Armies from the Holy Roman Catholic Empire from the south and newer Protestant forces from the north roamed the countryside, and they were both expected to feed and fund themselves by pillaging the villages. | + | Philip emulating the archers that would have defended the church from these walls.

| These pictures were taken a few miles from Walldorf, but it's a typical scenery of the area along the Werra valley. It is not as prosperous here as in the larger towns, but they are surrounded by beautiful scenery. Many of the people here are farmers and I saw several logging trucks, reminding me of home in [[104_northome|Minnesota]]. | These pictures were taken a few miles from Walldorf, but it's a typical scenery of the area along the Werra valley.
