The S. family, father, mother and five children came as resettlers (because of German origin) from Romania to Germany via Austria in 1942, during the Second World War. They were housed in Rudelstetten on a farm and lived there in one small room.

Paul S., the eldest son of the family fought as a German soldier at the front. When he came back at the end of the war, he fell in love with his neighbour Frieda K.. Frieda's parents had a small farm in the village. She worked as a maid. The Protestant young woman married the Catholic Romanian at a small wedding in 1950.

Because at that time the resettlers had to hand in their property in Romania to the government, they were given a plot of land in Wemding in the so-called homecoming settlement.

The site was for free and the Gundekarwerk was a lender. Two of Paul’s sisters also married locals and built houses. This settlement could be created because the Freberswirt, Mr. M., a former town councilor, supported the construction.

I am telling this story because Frieda was my dear grandma.
