The road leading into Tietlingen.
Entrance to the famous golf club there. 
Apartments/ Flats in Tietlingen
Farm ground just like Ohio
It's been almost four years now since I, by some insane luck, happened to meet Herr Hogrefe, an electrician from Stellichte, Germany, through a post I made on the Stellichte, Germany website. Hogrefe's grandmother was a Fuhrhop from Stellichte (just like our immigrant grandmother). He was familiar with the village of Tietlingen, as well, where the Elling family lived for well over a hundred and fifty years.
Best of all, he generously offered to take some photos and send to me. We may or may not be related somehow way back when...more on that when you see the Stellichte photos - but the kindness of a stranger will not be forgotten.
We definitely struggled with language as his emails arrived in German and I would run them through the online translator, with sometimes humorous results. He was doing the same with my letters in English.
So, with many thanks, I post some of the photos sent by Friedel Hogrefe, Elektromeister, Stellichte.
As always, click on the photo for a better view.
