Thorsten Buhl

From the Heuberg to the New World Thorsten Buhl

America had been affected by German immigrants in many ways until the 20th century. It is assumed that every 6th American can trace his or her roots back to Germany. In many cases, these roots lead to the Heuberg. From Renquishausen there were at least 102 persons known by name, who set out for crossing the Atlantic Ocean to the New World with suit-cases packed with hope. This book is not only about the reasons so many people left their hometown. It tells the story of each citizen from Renquishausen, who dared the journey into an uncertain future, and introduces their descendants.
