GEWISSENRUH

View from Gewissenruh upon the Weser, at the end of the fields.
Gewissen = conscience, and Ruh means rest. A village along the Weser where twenty French persons came to find a rescue place after they had to fled from France, where they were not allowed to follow their religious beliefs, being Waldenser protestants.
When did this take place? In the 18th century.
In 1722 Landgraf Karl von Hessen gave them houses to live and land to work upon. The inscriptions on the houses are all written in French.
In the afternoon we had driven to this quiet village and walked towards the Weser. We only once had been here before and I would not be surprised when I had taken the same view that time.
The weather in the morning had been better, but our walk still was pleasant, now and then a sudden wind blew around us.

I can't stop to give hearts to silly pictures, they are all so funny.

The houses still have French
