I am wondering if someone can help me. Today in looking through my recently
deceased mothers papers, I found what looks like it could have been part of
a mans belt buckle. It is oval in shape & made of some kind of metal. It
looks like it may be a town imbossed on it. at the top it reads "Wiener
H�henstrasse & at the bottom it reads "Kahlenberg". I looked at the German
map that I have & it lists 4 Kahlenberg towns. One of them is in
Sachsen-Anhalt & is listed as Kahlenberg (Immekath). Can someone advise me
what the "Wiener H�henstrasse" is in English? And how is it used in
relation to Kahlenberg? I am looking for places of birth of several German
ancestors & this could give me a lead to which one. Thanks. Geraldine in

"Wiener H�henstrasse" & "Kahlenberg" are in Austria
close to Wien (Vienna). "Wiener H�henstrasse" is the
name of a road which has been built in 1932-1938. It's
length is 14km; it starts in Neuwaldegg and goes to
a mountain of the name of "Kahlenberg". The road has
some touristic look-out points, it gives a good panorama
of the area.
The belt buckle probably is a souvenir.

Hello Geraldine
Wiener Hoehenstrasse = Vienna High Street (ie in Austria).
Kahlenberg is a hill in the Vienna Woods on the city outskirts.
It's a popular tourist spot for a view over Vienna.
It could be the belt buckle was just a holiday souvenir.

Thanks very much for all the help on my query on Kahlenberg. You guys &
gals are great. Georg who is currently in Vienna sent me pictures of when
the road was built & information on the area. I'm thinking one of my Uncles
was either stationed there or visited the area while he was in the US Army,
because the road wasn't built until about 1938. I didn't glean any
information about my ancestors, but I learned a little history of the
Kahlenberg area of which I probably should have learned in school, but I
didn't like history when I was in school. Sincere Thanks. Geraldine in

Well, I'm down to the last of four Mehringen's. I have checked 3
Mehringen's &
haven't found my great grandfather birth record, to know which Mehringen he
was from. Is anyone familiar with
the village of Mehringen near Aschersleben, Bernburg, & Hettstedt? This
Mehringen was not my first choice as there are not any of my surnames now in
this Mehringen. My ancestor was of the Lutheran faith. My great
grandfather Wilhelm Jacob K�NIG was born 1861 Mehringen, parents were
Wilhelm K�NIG & Christiane BENDER. In todays German Phone Book I find only
a St. Marien Evangelische Church & a Catholic Church in Sandersleben. I
find only three K�NIG's in Mehringen's zip code, located in Sandersleben.
The closest BENDER I find according to zip code in Harzgerode. Does anyne
know if there was a Lutheran Church in Mehringen in 1861? I will write
letters to these K�NIG's, & BENDER's, but I'm not sure where to write for
Lutheran Church records. Please any help on me locating records of my
Wilhelm is very much appreciated. This is my last hope. Thanks. Geraldine
