How can I find a family in Hof, Germany?

Question

I spent some time in the military overseas in Germany from 1988-1992 and spent Christmas one year with a German family in Hof through a program for single soldiers to visit with locals for a few days during the holidays.

I do not know the name of the couple I stayed with, only the names of their 2 daughters who were around my age. I have about 10-12 photos I took during the time and would love to correspond with them and share the photos too. Can someone help me? I believe the daughter's names were Ute and Urike Dahmer. Or maybe there is a place to post a photo of who I am looking for.

Answer 1

Falk Jörg u. Dahmer Ute

Am Eisenberg 17

36341 Lauterbach / Wallenrod

06638 91 87 29

That is the only listing for Ute Dahmer in Germany.  There is no listing for "Urike", but that doesn't surprise me because that name just doesn't sound right.  I also tried Ulrike but that didn't work either.

This may or may not be who you are looking for.  The address is located just north west of Frankfurt, so if you were stationed in Frankfurt, Giessen, or Fulda it could be who you are looking for.

Oh, and just for information purposes.  The listing in the phone book tells me that she is living with a guy named Jörg.  She could be married and kept her name which isn't too uncommon in Germany, but uncommon enough that I would lean more towards living with him but not married.

That's the online phonebook, but I didn't found the family there, either the name Dahmer is not correct or the family does not live there any more.

Do you remember who organised that program? You could write to them if they remember the family's name. Or you can ask the military station if they remeber which organisation offered that programm.

If nothing helps, then write a message in the newspaper from hof ("Frankenpost" http://www.frankenpost.de/ asking if someone remebers). Good luck
