One of Caroline’s favorite photos of herself from the time she was going on four years old around the summer of 1971. Why is it a favorite? Because she had her very own Tonka Truck.
Mother and Daughters
Stephanie Engelhardt is on the left, with Jutta Engelhardt in the middle and Caroline on Mom’s lap. Hanns must have taken the photo on this late spring-early summer day in 1970, as his hat is on the bench.
Caroline Engelhardt
Caroline Engelhardt, sometime in approximately 1970 is our best guess. As she’s outside and without winter clothes, maybe it’s summer?
Baby Caroline and Hanns Engelhardt
Caroline’s father, Hanns Engelhardt, and her in 1968.
Stephanie and Grandfather Christian Engelhardt
This is Christian Engelhardt holding his granddaughter Stephanie Engelhardt at some time around 1967 or maybe even 1966, but we’re not sure. Christian is Hanns’s father (father of Caroline and Stephanie) and lived in Höchst just outside of Frankfurt for the majority of his life. Christian’s professional life was that of a teacher and was the encouragement behind Hanns becoming a lawyer.
The church in the background is from the year 830 A.D. and is the oldest building in the Frankfurt area.
My Mother-In-Law in 1938
At the very top of this photo and second from the left is my mother-in-law, Jutta Engelhardt. Her image was used on a commercial postcard in 1938 Germany. Back then, she was not yet an Engelhardt and had the rather lengthy name of Frieda Louise Augusta Jutta Linnenkohl. She was born on 25th July 1935 in Magdeburg, Germany.
