Photo of the village of Oberfischbach, Germany. This was the home of several Germanna families. Pastor H�ger was here from 1703 to 1711, when he retired.
("Oberfischbach" is literally "UpperFishStream", or, as we would say in America "UpperFishCreek", meaning that there was a "LowerFishCreek" down there somewhere.)

Photo of sign seen when entering Oberfischbach, Germany.
The Germans are inordinately proud of their towns and villages, and such signs prove it. A lot of work went into the construction, and, someone must tend the flowers in the hanging buckets.
