Reichenbach Am Regen - The Beginning of The 20th Century

The Beginning of The 20th Century

At the turn of 18th to the 19th century there was bitter poverty in the village. The population was rural, despite the structure, not enough food, enough fodder for the cattle. To each spot of grass on the roadside and around each piece of wood has been contentious. Many residents had no proper abode, nor adequate clothing, nor a steady income. Every child and every man had his utmost to contribute to survival. During this time, and because many Reichenbacher cycled every day to in the pit, to or even further to at least one to earn paltry wages. Others saw only in emigrating to America, the only change this time to survive.
