<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 194360, member: 39&quot;]Kevelaer is a town (pop. about 30,000) in what today is the state of North Rhine Westphalia, about half way between Duisburg (DE) and Nijmegen (NL). It is a famous pilgrimage destination, and the madonna on the other side is this one: <a href="http://www.wallfahrt-kevelaer.de/bilder/1_1_4.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.wallfahrt-kevelaer.de/bilder/1_1_4.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.wallfahrt-kevelaer.de/bilder/1_1_4.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Ther other note is from Bruchhausen, now part of the city of Höxter, also in NW. The somewhat bloody looking scene (see this page <a href="http://www.heinemeier.de/wagen2.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.heinemeier.de/wagen2.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.heinemeier.de/wagen2.htm</a>) refers to the Feme courts <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/League_of_the_Holy_Court" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/League_of_the_Holy_Court" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/League_of_the_Holy_Court</a> ... but according to that heinemeier.de article nobody knows whether there ever was a Feme court in Bruchhausen. May just be a great spooky story. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
