Kira-Markus Rendezvous: Nagel Part 2
Across from the front courtyard
Two of the half dozen cows
This is a very small part of the 200+ year old barn across from the house. This barn is huge, I was unable to get a picture of the entire building. So I only took the pictures of this very beautiful artwork over the door.
Here you can see the date 1801 in the bottom right hand corner:
On this section we see the initials “HH” and the date ’76
Another farm building:
A close up, my guess is the satellite was installed sometime after 1876:
Another home on the property. I do not know the age but it is newer. Bernd explained to me that this had been a large working farm which had been in his family for generations. During WWII Hilter took most of their land for military buildings, barracks I believe. As a result they no longer had enough land to support farming operations. In order to keep what was left of the farm they built homes to rent out to tenants. As Bernd was telling me this story, he asked me ” Do you know Hilter?” I answered with a simple “yes”, but I really wanted to say “who doesn’t.”
Here we are, some of the kennel buildings.

Some more pictures from Kira’s rendezvous with Markus vom Status Quo in Detmold, Deutschland. This is Bernd Nagel’s home, he is the owner and breeder of Markus. His house is one of the newer buildings on his property —built roughly 100 years ago.

A typical German breakfast. The small tomatoes were unbelievable. They were from Italy and I ate almost all of them. Also on the table but hard to see was homemade currant jam that was so good I wanted to smuggle it out in my purse. Of course the coffee, cheese, meats, and breads were fabulous. Nothing beats a German breakfast! The tall long-legged beauty in the left hand corner of the picture is Isabelle, Bernd’s youngest daughter:
Ahhhh the delightful German bread. Why can’t we duplicate this in the USA?
