Notes for DIRK ROHLFS UPHOFF:
According to Uwe
Rademacher, who worked in the registration department of the townhall of
Norden, Germany on 1-23-2001 "I can confirm that a Dirk Uphoff, born 9-2-1873
in Westermarsch, was registered in Norden in the years between 4-29-1890 and
1898. He has come to Norden from the
village Westermarsch. Dirk Uphoff was
registrated in Norden in the street Westerstrasse 683. Unfortunately I can't say anything about the
years after 1898, only that he wasn't
registrated after that year."
Mr. Radermacher also states the village "Westermarsch" is in
the area of Norden (distance: 7km), since 1972 it is a part of Norden.
Naturalization papers received on
6-2-2001, state Dirk left Bremen, Germany on 12-9-1897 on board the
DRESDEN. He arrived in Baltimore, MD on
12-25-1897.
I have got from Mr.
Rademacher a newspaper article "The inhabitants of
theWesterstraße"
In the old town of
Norden there were only numbers of the houses (I think it
was Napoleon, who
would like to know the number of houses in a town. He did
it e.g. in Cologne.
There was a house Nr. 4711 and its today a well known
parfume Nr. 4711 in
Germany)
I try to translate the
essential part:
Norderkluft 2. Rott
House Nr. 523 (683) and Nr. 524 (684)
In 1843 Johann Georg
Rose, merchand, founded a business for manufactories.
Since 1877 did so
Bernhard Hinrich Bührmann.
About the beginning
1900 die houses (683) and (684)were demoliated and new
were built.
In 1906, (25.09) B.H.
Bührmann gave the business to his former manger
Hermann Thumann and
his brother in law Johannes Eckert. Between 1955 and
1978 Hans Hermann
Thumann made his business. He was succeeded by his
daughter Maike Meinen,
born Thumann. Today there is a Solarium "Sun Royal".
There are more
historical dates from 1618 up to 1892.
And there is a photo.
