Seide is “silk” in German. Buch is “book” in German. Yet, Seidenbuch isn’t “book of silk”. It is the name of a little village in the Odenwald. Where – according to family lore – an ancestor of mine was born and grew and left to go to a town about 30 kilometers away to find his luck, or rather employment. This happened a bit more than 100 years ago and the man was my grandfather who I’ve never met and hence, this is all hearsay.

Well, it’s a good family story anyway.
