Guendelbach in June 2020

Remarks to the following slide-show, which was produced by Edgar Aisenbrey in June, 2020.

Edgar:

"The debris at the end of Reutwiesenstrasse comes from Lorenzenstrasse. Today's smithy was an Aisenbrey house, the family home of the late Alfred A. from Schützingen. It burned down in 1945 and the old Heckh had bought it, in exchange for a building site in Reutwiesenstrasse, where Thomas A. lives today. Now the partition between the former barns has been removed and a large hall is being created. Maybe there will be a blacksmith festival again, at least for the inauguration. The former smithy was a small room below the Heckh house. When the workers came from the quarry at noon and in the evening, the blacksmith had to sharpen the tools again. The last manager of the quarry was Johannes A., the grandfather of Andreas A. and his siblings. My great-grandfather, who was also called Johannes, lived around the same time. He emigrated to Lauffen am Neckar and was one of the first workers in the newly founded cement plant. The cement industry ultimately led to the quarry being closed."

Here is the recent slideshow that Edgar created on June 13, 2020.

Ambassador of German Wine

Carolin Klöckner (born September 9, 1995) from Vaihingen-Gündelbach in the wine-growing 
region of Württemberg in Baden-Württemberg is German Wine Queen 2018/2019. She was 
elected on September 28, 2018 in Neustadt an der Weinstrasse as the successor of 
Katharina Staab to the 70th German Wine Queen. She is the fourth wine queen from the 
Württemberg wine region. In 2016/2017 Mara Walz from Vaihingen-Ensingen had already 
become German wine princess. As wine princesses for the twelve-month term 2018/2019 
were elected Inga Storck (*21 July 1994, Einselthum, Palatinate) and Klara Zehnder (born 
20 February 1996, Randersacker, Franconia).

Klöckner was in the United States until the age of seven and grew up in a childhood home 
where farming was a hobby and a sideline job. So she had early contact with field crops 
and farm animals. She is a student of agricultural sciences at the University of Hohenheim. 
By a former Württemberg Wine Queen her interest in this office had been awakened.

The video below characterizes the way of life of Carolin Klöckner. Carolin comments the
video in German.

   monastery through several centuries and the monks influenced the cultivation  of wine in this region to
  a great deal
