Prussia Königin-Luise-Bund

[Ralph A]

As far as I can tell, I'm the only serious collector of Luisen Bund artifacts. Am I wrong?

There is a pretty good Wiki article on this society, if you want to know more. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Louise_League

To add to the write-up, I've heard the society described as a union of women who believed that "Papa knows best." (Apologies to the current Bund) http://www.luisenbund.de/

Works for me.

More.

I have a membership booklet, too. I'll post it, if anyone shows interest in such a boring thing. I DO have a somewhat profound reason for my interest in such things.

Hi,

Bundesführerin seit 1932 war Charlotte Freifrau von Hadeln.

I have her Brothers or Brother in laws group from WW1, I have not been able to figure out the family connection...

Ralph, sometimes being the only person doing something is not a bad thing. It allows for variety at a lower cost.
