I translated a story from the 800-Year Celebration booklet of Oberzell which gives an idea of what life was like in this area in the late 1840's. It also tells about the ship New Era which was shipwrecked off the coast of New Jersey with some Oberzell emigrants on board. Click on this link to read the story:
