Doch die Vielen LebensauBerungen unserer Stadt auf allen Gebieten der Kultur, Wirtschaft und Kunst blieben ungeschrieben. Wie aber wuBte er unsere Heimat gerade aus dieser Sicht in unzahliegn Vortragen, Beitragen, besonders fur die Reichenberger Zeitun und in Buchern vollendet darzustellen! Auch das Reichenberger archiv verdankt ihm eine Sammlung wertvollster Unterlagen, die er durch sein Ansehen in einem groBen BekanntenKreis und durch einen jahrelangen, umfangreichen Briefwechsel gewinnen konnte.
