Questions?

Anyone visiting this page should be aware that from 1949 to 1954

Wurzburg Students were bused to Fürth, later Nürnberg:

The history from 1946 to 1948 is very vague!

No records were maintained!

The early years of Wurzburg can be found in the 1955-1958,

1959A and 1960A Erinnnerungen Year Books!

Yes there is some fantastic history as well as Old Photography contained in all of them!

You'll find those in the 2nd row from the top, on the Berlin Page

If you would like to receive some of the Old History References,

"please let me know!" -Gene Foreman
