A Loss







Kurt Mattern
27. Dezember 1929 - 7. April 2016

We lost the head of our family, my father-in-law, peacefully, but sooner than we had expected.
He grew up in Langenau, Silesia, nowadays Poland. His character was influenced by the loss of his home and everything material after WWII, by flight and expulsion. Through hard work and diligent studies he became an engineer and found success and happiness with his family and his six grandchildren, in whose welfare he took vivid interest, recording details and family gatherings on picture and DVD, giving career and other advice and himself leading an exemplary life with his wife in a happy marriage of nearly sixty years, with modesty and dignity. He is sorely missed by all his family.
