We still writing the year 1891. Elisabeth was born in the spring of the year.
Ludwig wasn't excited about his newborn daughter, he prefer sons.
Even so he blame Viktoria to be a bad housewife many times, when the meal wasn't ready or the bathroom was dirty. Sometimes Elisabeth yelled back, but then he threaten her with the divorce, so she obey, like a good obedient wife has to do in the eyes of the church.
She wrote all financial expenses in a book which she has to show Ludwig.
My main family has entered the year 1892 with three children now, 1 boy and 2 girls. This will be an important year for them, since the military service will end this year and a recently cholera epedemic hits the city of hamburg very hard. Because of the epedemice that politician nationwide and scientist demand a change in the tenements, since they are a source of deseases through the horrific hygiene facilities.
It was autumn 1892 when the military service ended for Ludwig. Also the landlord dismissed the family from their home after the politician demanded the demolitions from the old tenements for new and better buildings for the growing city. Ludwig told Viktoria the bad news.
They found a tiny and forgotten cottage near the coast, and where allowed to settle in there.
It was almost winter when they arrived there. Ludwig got a job as fisherman. It was still a cramped place and they almost had no money, but also it was a new beginning and a new chance for them.
In the late 19th century the family protraits became quite popular. One day the family went to the photograph and let made a picture from them.
We have Viktoria and Ludwig and the children (left to right) Elisabeth, Wilhelm and Mathilde.
