Nazi Family | 20140907

Nazi Family | 20140907 | 1-memo•com | Berlin taxi driver anecdote “… my grandfather was a nazi…..”
That night last year in Berlin – Sept. 7, 2013 – returning to my hotel by taxi from the Internationales Literaturfestival Berlin ( ilb’13 – at the Haus der Berliner Festspiele) – my around 55 years old Berliner taxi driver told me, he was working only at night for some 20 years now.
Just before he dropped me at my hotel near the Berlin Central Station – after he had silently listened during the ride, to my detailed account of my filming earlier that evening a reportage of the story of Simon Gronowski and Koenraad Tinel at the festival – he finally replied : “I was told only very recently by my father , that my grandfather was a nazi…..” .

Water Windmiller Pieter van der Burg | 20140821

Water Windmiller Pieter van der Burg | 20140821 | 1-memo.com | Great-great-great grandfather ‘Pieter’ van der Burg was a water-miller 200 years ago (from 1811) on the ‘Noorddammolen’ (the North Dam Mill) of the “Oude Pijnackerse polder” (Old Polder of Pijnacker) in South-Holland. The Noorddammolen was demolished in 1861 (a few years after Pieter had died) when a steam pumping-engine was build for the job. This picture from around 1900 shows both the similar neighbouring water mills and the steam pumping engine : in the front first the Zuiddammolen (South Dam mill) – then the chimney of the steam pumping-engine at the site were that ‘Noorddammolen’ of Pieter used to be, finally the Noordmolen (North Mill).
Background on the Noorddammolen – That mill had been rebuild in 1577 after the original mill had been destroyed during the Spanish Siege of Leiden. Further note that Pieter had moved to another mill already in 1815. Image source / part of the info : molendatabase.org | Allemolens.nl.

Pinhole Polder Windmill “Rooie Wip” | 20140816

Pinhole Polder Windmill "Rooie Wip"

 

Pinhole Polder Windmill “Rooie Wip” | 20140816 | 1-memo.com | Pinhole image today of the “Rooie Wip” poldermolen – the “Red Hollow Post” polder mill – used for water drainage (build in 1639) in Hazerswoude, South-Holland.
Camera : Olympus Micro Four Third – Pin hole cap f/128 aperture, 12m.
My grandmother , when young and living with her parents in Hazerswoude , would walk there to this polder mill every Sunday.
Note – my great-great-great grandfather ‘Pieter’ was a water-miller at the nearby town ‘Pijnacker’ in the early 1800s. His first wind mill – the ‘Noorddammolen’ – was demolished after his death when it was replaced by a steam pumping-engine and later finally by an electric pumping-engine.
Just noticed 😉 it was Pieter’s birthday yesterday – born Aug 15, 1768.
