A Pilgrimage

On our last day there were still answers to be found.  Dr Anne and Lois set off for the Sorb museum.  However they took a new route and ended up in St Michael's church.  There, they met a fellow Sorb - Regina Konig who pointed Lois in new directions.  

The church was the Wendish (Sorb) Church built first in the 15th century.

When renovations were being completed post WW2 the old ceiling from 1498 was found.

Regina and Lois

From the church Lois and Dr Anne have been able to explore the Sorbish information house, and the Sorb Institute.  A chance meeting in God's house led to greater information about the Kleinigs and the Zwahrs.

Here endeth the tale of their pilgrimage.  They found an amazing amount about the culture of the race that is the Sorbs known in German as the Wends.  They weren't able to trace ancestors because the Nazi and Soviets destroyed many of the archives.

Tomorrow is another day.
